Doesnt seem like the best design choice if you have to rest the controller.

But you are sitting down while drawing on the tablet, I don't see what the problem is, here.

?

You rest with every controller, even for most Wii games.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Sadly my HDTV has all its HDMI ports full.

Just stream the games to your controller.

Duh.

 

[Haunted]

Don't you have to hold the tablet up in certain instances, to get some overlap between its screen and the TV?


That sounds terribad, like using an iPad to take pictures bad.

You play games with your arms suspended in the air?

What the hell? Do you only ever play standing up, or do you just do it with your arms out in front of you. The only controller that requires you to not do this that i can think of is the original Wii. And i bet you bitched about that too.

 

[Fess]

I remenber a bunch GAFers moaning about having to hold a DS3 with one hand when the Move was announced.

Good luck with that.

No worries here. While writing this post I'm holding my iPad2 exactly like in that pic. Feels just fine.

Which game are we talking about?

that's just a gimmick that might be used wherever developers want (my bet is rarely lol). It's nothing you have to inherently do.

I remember everyone griping about this when Wii was announced. "You have to hold your hands up and move them? Surely my frail wrists cannot support that."

Did anyone actually have a problem with Wii? I know I never did.

Then again, my wrists are freakishly strong.

There's a lot of holding the pad up in this video, sometimes with one hand, i just worry for those weaklings that cant hold a DS3.

For something like that, which is no different to using a Bamboo tablet to draw something on my laptop, the lap is just fine.

 

[butter_stick]

I don't have a problem with the controller. I'm sure it'll be comfortable enough to hold and not so heavy that it'd be uncomfortable. I'm actually pretty fond of the controller, I think it could be cool.

Really the only legitimate complaint about the Wii U controller is the use of slide pads over analog sticks. The thing loses no core functionality outside of that change, so at worst we have a normal controller with a screen that has some basic UI info on it while we play on our TV and some gimpy (but totally usable) analog pads.

For what it's worth, I saw a couple people doing this at last year's Burning Man. It was really, really smart, because they could easily see what was being filmed even though they were reaching as high as they could to get over the crowds. I had to struggle with my point'n'shoot hand camera with its tiny screen to do the same, and my Nikon D70 doesn't even have a live display (unless I massively misread the instruction booklet)!

I like the tablet with 2 detachable nunchucks at each side. Nice design. It might be a better choice for the wii u table. Just put an infrared camera at the end of one of the nunchucks and you could replace the wiimote and have a more versatile tablet controller. There's a description at endgadget's webiste.

Reggie is supposed to be on soon. I would guess talking about Wii U. Can't wait for interview ROUND 2!!! Don't understand what happened to the other Wii U thread...


Geoff is SOOO GOOD. He even hammered one of the AT&T rep's for still dropping calls even though the rep was boasting about spending $20million on improving network infrastructure.

 

[Übermatik]

Does anyone have a link for the Reggie interview...!?

Interesting...I wonder if it'd be possible to use the existing wiimote and do something like that considering it already has an peripheral port

I thought it was 4 PM PST meaning not until roughly another 3 hours?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm watching Spike right now, when dat reggie on? 2 minutes?

 

[Gaborn]

I'm watching Spike right now, when dat reggie on? 2 minutes?

I turned it on a couple minutes ago, he just said it would be sometime in the next hour.

 

[FinKL]

People watching the stream, I'm just going on what they said verbatim "I'll talk with Reggie soon"

who knows, but it's gotta be within the hour

Will repost again when live

 

[antonz]

Reggie is supposed to be on sometime between 4 and 5 EST

 

[Sadist]

Geoff: "Reggie going to check those boxes"

Hehe

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

yeah they're counting down to some toshiba reveal :/

 

[snesfreak]

Here's what I expect from the Reggie interview.
At the very end Reggie says he does in fact have something to show.
A video is played.
"The game that started a legend is reborn..." is shown on the screen.
Cue video of a Wii U Zelda 1 remake with Link fucking shit up, set to Drowning Pool's "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor."
Nintendo wins E3 months before it even starts.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I'm pretty sure they're not detachable. Even though it looks like they should be.

3 hours? Don't think so, but thanks for the time. Should be within the next hour.

 

[JohnTinker]

So when is the interview

 

[Uno Venova]

Reggie must be shaking.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol is toshiba fucking kidding me. Get this shit out of here.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

your reaching buddy.

Please tell me you see the difference between controlling a DS3 controller with a move controller versus controlling a WiiU tablet with a stylus


one is a helluva lot natural than the other, and the DS3+Move was a big deal because Nintendo already showed them how to do it right (Nunchuck)

lol I love how Sonys poorly demo'd not OLED even though its basically OLED TV is suddenly so interesting to people

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

lol, dodges the battery life question.

But the question was about Wii U having extensive online support, including backwater features like Achievements

If not, MINUS ONE MILLION POINTS FOR NINTENDO ARRRGHHH

Uh oh Geoff says there will be a life-changing reveal

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

That Toshiba guy looks like Reggie with grey hair...

That's exactly what I thought...just his chin isn't shiny. Shame.

Oh neat, the Wii U will be there..hmm

 

[Kacho]

I'm excited about the interview and I don't know why. I'm fairly certain the interview won't give us anything significant. What I'm most curious to see is if the reactions in this thread are as hilarious as the ones in the Microsoft thread last night.

 

[Übermatik]

Reggie must be shaking.

Iwata has him tied to a chair, slapping him shouting japanese at him.

"困難にしてみてください。ハーダーをしてみてください。!!!"

Oooh, he promises the WiiU will actually BE there, and major "new reveal"... D:

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Geoff just said Reggie is gonna be there soon with the Wii-U in hand.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Wii U will be here!!!!

 

[Jocchan]

Jesus Christ, NO! No!

They will of course use the theme song by KoЯn.

It should be entertaining because if its anything like last time lots of tension and reggie probably wanting to punch someone

 

[GameplayWhore]

I have no earplugs here at work. Since I can't hear what Reggie is saying, I won't mind if you guys lie your asses off and make shit up to get me hyped.
