For simple artwork it might scratch his itch, but if he likes drawing I'd definitely recommend a pressure sensitive Wacom.
The guys making Colours 3DS could possibly sell something similar on Wii-U..

Don't mind the controller but the console does look like a HDD, the horrors! I'm sure it will be re-designed by E3...
Buttons and sticks.
Is this a poor trolling attempt that went really badly? I don't get it. Both technologies have been around for far longer.

I wish it were see through. Then we could see the little pikmin running in their wheels like hamsters.
People complaining about the look, lol. Looks like a video game console to me.
Gamecube controller might look weird at first, but it melts like butter in your hands. Maybe people should withhold judgement one way, or the other until they play it? I'd rather have it look like a toy than feel like a DS3 in my hands.

Yes, because zooming on touchscreens was impossible until Apple invented the iPhone. You'll basically never use more than your right thumb to touch the screen. And I'm almost 100% certain you only have a single right thumb.
That cant be teh powderful cos it look like teh toy.. derp!

Wait, this isn't the 3DS thread...

Forgive me, but I still don't know why I need a screen - especially of that size - on a controller.
What about them? They're meant to control the game on the TV, not the touchscreen.
But yes, let's press a ZOOM icon repeatedly instead of pinching and pulling the screen like every single tablet on the market to date.
It wasn't impossible, but it wasn't nearly as convenient. Kinda like the whole friend code thing, no?

Suckered into the first Wii, not falling for it again.
Unless NiGHTS comes out for it. And it's done by Sonic Team and Yuji Naka.

That controller looks very comfortable.
did you really think this was the re-unveiling? Console randomly spotted by someone next to a TV at a trade event...

Eh, I don't mind the look of the console. It just looks.. unusual. Not bad, just a bit strange for a console. The controller just looks huge and unwieldy to me though, but who knows, it might be comfortable.
I'm sure they did too. And somebody said, "Fuck it, it's good enough. Look at how cool and svelte the sliders are. We're going with that."
Plus, if they're the same size as the 3DS slider, they can have one production line manufacturing their "sticks." Further savings realized.
Nintendo added the speaker for the Wii remote, as well as refined its design to be sleeker overall from its first show. Maybe there's something up their sleeve again that they will want to reveal at a later date.
They're not the same sticks as the 3DS. From the horse's mouth at E3 (they are upgraded in some fashion).
take a wild guess.

We'll see. But this is a CES thread right now, and right now, that looks like shit.
I wish more people would read this.

Cheapest option possible I guess.
I don't know why they are trying something unique with a big screen inside a controller but use outdated touch screen features on it.
-slidepads instead of normal analogs
-ackward positioning of ABXY buttons
-resistive touch screen
-xbox HUGE
why, fucking why? Why can't it be more like this:
Why, why, oh why?
That would have been so good.

That photo is 7 months old, why are people commenting on it now?
I don't think anybody asked yet.

This is NeoGAF...
I dunno it's just bizarre to show the system for the first time since June 2011 and not show any improvements. Is that really a message you want to deliver?
The re-unveiling is at E3 2012.

This hasn't even been close to confirmed. "Reunveiling" means nothing.

If nothing else the Slide Pad could mean that the Controller might be expensive
or they're being cheap by sharing parts with 3DS, lol
You can play the game without the use of the TV, or by using them bothSolid_Rain said:
Nintendo, with Dragon Quest X, is sort of pushing the idea of MMOs with a controller that actually facilitates the genre (on consoles, anyways)
---------------------
I'm actually wondering if it'd be a good idea to switch the positions of the Pad on Buttons on the right side of the controller.
If the Tablet could host 2-player games with a player per side, the schemes would be more familiar
Well that's... I don't know more of an addition than a redesign right? In retrospect, the changes weren't that big imo regarding the Wiimote.
That pic was taken today, at CES.
Edit: The first one, which still shows the old ass Wii U at least.

In 4 years most of you are gonna be saying "Man the Wii U's minimalist design is sexy compared to the gaudy PS4 and Xbox 3!" Or something similar to that.
I know I should leave this thread, but...
*sigh* Is pinch-to-zoom alone really enough to justify the extra expense and loss in durability?
I think that's the problem, it looks like a game console with a controller instead of a sleek media box with a even sleeker multimedia tablet.
It would be nice if they give the buttons that clear plastic and the same gradient fade as 3DS on the controller edges, would help it look smaller too. We will see at E3 I guess.
hahaha, holy shit, you're right, it's from June 2011.

CES isn't a big media circus.
They aren't doing stage demos or anything.
It's strictly hands on for Press that couldn't be at E3 last year.
