OMG METROID SPOTTED ON SCREEN!

Nintendo couldn't even bother showing of a game that runs at 1080p! That is clearly 742p

 

[Dead Prince]

they should stop showing WiiU if they are going to reveal it at E3. figure they would change name as well.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Beware of wishes, Mr. Backseat Mod.

I wasn't calling for a member cull, I was saying posts like that read like a good excuse for one! Some people have nothing better to do than post trolls that will obviously only rile up an enthusiast fanbase. All in good fun I'm sure, but still...

 

[Jarmel]

would you guys pay a million dollars for a controller if it was the best controller ever

Maybe if the controller had a mouth....

 

[Veidt]

looks great!!!

 

[Combichristoffersen]

lools like a toy, just like wii did.

I think the Wii looked fine, and the WiiU looks OK, if a bit similar to an external HDD. But that controller..

 

[sephi22]

We should be discussing that TV.

Fuck.

I want that TV

 

[[Nintex]]

I wonder why Nintendo didn't just partner with LG to show it off at their booth, or did they? And why didn't they announce it? I really don't get this marketing angle. People walk in, are like: "Wut, what's the Wii U doing here?" and it seems no one knows why it is there.

It's just... 'there'.

 

[SolarPowered]

I don't care what anyone says about the controller being ugly. It looked mighty sexy in those E3 vids for Zelda and it has a nice glow in low lighting.

Playing movies or games on that baby should be a VERY nice substitute for the TV every once in a while. I do agree with the comments about the slide pads though. They should have stuck regular analog sticks in there and decreased the amount of plastic on the sides(maybe make the controller a bit less rounded to boot)...

Brightness is gonna be fine, but it's probably using a tn display to keep the costs down, so the viewing angles aren't gonna be great.

Pretty if you ask me and I'll take these babies over a DS3 any day of the week. That playstation controller is like the Iron Maiden of console controllers.

[rekameohs]

yeah but that's metroid prime and no one cares about that

No, that's Other M. Which fucking no one cares about. Prime would be a godsend.

Again, the angles don't matter. At all. At least not unless one of your arms is three times as long as the other.

 

[Mileena]

Looks better than the Wii, controller wise. I will buy it.

 

[StevieP]

lools like a toy, just like wii did. Yeah in that little thing is a beast processor and beast GPU roll my eyes.

On other side maybe it's fun to play with, definitely not my thing, since Nintendo seems to be taking same direction.

Nobody said anything about beast. But to be presumptuous would be just as incorrect.

Nintendo and LG have partnered for shows in the past.

typical nintendo weirdness

 

[DSN2K]

screen has a backlight most certainly

 

[abstract alien]

Damn that looks sexy. Wish the console didn't look so boring, but oh well.

 

[clemenx]

I think it looks great. I agree with Nintendo's philosophy that the input device has the most potential for trying new stuff, even if the Wii mote was a relative failure (software wise)

The slide pads worry me, I don't see why they wouldn't go with sticks.

 

[Uno Venova]

We already saw backlight pics on the last page.

 

[Takao]

It's right next to the Sony booth, that can only mean one thing! SONY - NINTENDO PARTNERSHIP

 

[-COOLIO-]

so im tempted to get a wacom tablet for drawing on my computer but the drawing app thing they had in the demo reel seemed decent if it were realistic. do you guys think this will be a decent device for simple artwork?

 

[Alrus]

Man the number of shitty kiddy jokes in this thread is disgusting. I thought we moved past this :/

 

[FStop7]

Man, it's gonna be a bloodbath on GAF by the the time specs, pricing, and launch lineups start to hit.


Something like this.

 

[KaYotiX]

Looks like babbys first videogamez to be honest.....

Agree, like one of those Leapfrog things from Toys r us.

 

[luffeN]

I wonder if the final product will have such terrible viewing angles?

I think that the flash from the digi cam makes it worse.

 

[EloquentM]

I'm certain they tested the upad with sticks before deciding to go with slide pads. I hope

 

[Ushojax]

The controller looks great to me. I want to play it so badly...

 

[statham]

 

[Anticitizen One]

The system would look better if they changed the color to black

 

[Uno Venova]

What's the dimensions of that controller? It doesn't look right being that big.

 

[jett]

would you guys pay a million dollars for a controller if it was the best controller ever

Depends on what else it ... provides.

shit, i wish the wii u were purple.

 

[alr1ght]

It looks okay, but usage wise it's pretty terrible. Slide pads, buttons directly below said slide pads, etc.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Man the number of shitty kiddy jokes in this thread is disgusting. I thought we moved past this :/

And I thought Nintendo would move past this Fisher-Price handheld, but I guess we can't have everything we want, can we?

 

[gogogow]

I never said the viewing angles mattered for the Wii U controller, people were talking about it and I replied with what would cause the viewing angles to not be so great.

They should have stuck regular analog sticks in there and decreased the amount of plastic on the sides(maybe make the controller a bit less rounded to boot)...

If they made the bezel smaller, your hand would probably cover the screen. It's a controller after all.

 

[KaYotiX]

shit, i wish the wii u were purple.

would need Kinect functionality then.

 

[DieH@rd]

They need to change that singletouch resistive into multitouch capacitive. Now.

 

[[Nintex]]

Between DSi and 3DS followed by Wii and the Wii U prototype Nintendo really took a step back in the design department.

 

[Gospel]

Nintendo hasn't sold me on the system but it doesn't look bad aesthetically.

 

[jman2050]

Are you 13?

 

[wsippel]

so im tempted to get a wacom tablet for drawing on my computer but the drawing app thing they had in the demo reel seemed decent if it were realistic. do you guys think this will be a decent device for simple artwork?

No. Get a real tablet. And I don't mean "tablet" as in iPad or other such toys, I mean Wacom tablets. The input devices you connect to real computers.

 

[Alrus]

They need to change that singletouch resistive into multitouch capacitive. Now.

Give me a single game where it would actually matter please.

 

[MisterHero]

And I thought Nintendo would move past this Fisher-Price handheld, but I guess we can't have everything we want, can we?

Yeah it needs to be painted like all those ridiculous Collector 360s

faux battle damage and shit

 

[StevieP]

And I thought Nintendo would move past this Fisher-Price handheld, but I guess we can't have everything we want, can we?

No way, Fisher Price's stuff is way more adult.

Because we are adultz here and our games need tits and blood and lots of swearing to be matoor

They need to change that singletouch resistive into multitouch capacitive. Now.

They want to be able to draw with stylii on the tablet. And not the crappy kind either. Also, buttons and sticks.

 

[LiK]

They need to change that singletouch resistive into multitouch capacitive. Now.

doubt that would happen now. maybe Wii-U2

 

[chubigans]

They need to change that singletouch resistive into multitouch capacitive. Now.

I completely forgot this thing doesn't have multitouch.

Dumb, dumb dumb.

Give me a single game where it would actually matter please.

Anything that you can zoom into. Like a map, or a view, or anything. Which is kind of the point of the Wii U, isn't it?

 

[AzureNightmare]

Are you 13?

He clearly is.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

One of my friends bought that limited edition CoD 360 recently

Spoiler

I think it looks awful

 

[KAL2006]

If the slide pad is anything like 3DS, I am not a fan, I don't know why they just didn't go with normal analog sticks. Even though one of Wii U's main purpose is to get multiplatform games and 3rd parties on board, I would still buy the games on Sony or Microsoft's platforms, mainly because I prefer normal analog sticks and I don't trust Wii U online infrastructure. I expect Wii U 3rd party support to be similar to GameCube, it will get some multiplatform games like GameCube did, but Sony and MS will still end up with more multiplatform games, as well as the multiplatform games selling more on the other systems. Wii U will be strongest for it's 1st party support, just like every Nintendo system.

 

[neptunes]

Yeah it needs to be painted like all those ridiculous Collector 360s

Obviously

Why did they have to include slide pads? if anything I hope that changes more than anything else
