Makes sense to have it the range of the entire room. Having it to be playable on its own outside of the living room would be quite a puls, aka bathroom mode.

depending on the tech i'm thinking ~30' range similar to bluetooth.
for my house, the console will be almost centered in the house-first floor, depending on interferance, i could play it my any of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor any room on first floor
etc.
it all depends on range and if it works thru walls.

n-Space wants to re-start their dark project, Winter, at some point. They mention the Wii U and Kickstarter possibilities.
I left the info on the old Winter thread, just in case you don't know about it.
So, Winter is coming? for the Wii U?
I'd love to see n-Space taking advantage of the hardware ala Heroes of Ruin.

I'd love to see n-Space taking advantage of the hardware ala Heroes of Ruin.Epic Mickey 3 was planned alongside the first and second installments, it has been revealed.
So maybe if the second opus really doesn't come to Wii U, we may expect the third one will.
Here's the statement from Mister Spector to digitalspy:

I want to make a remake of Carl Douglas Kung Fu Fighting, and it will be "Everybody is kick, kick, startiiiiiiiiing !"

Actually he simply said "Mario for Wii U," nothing about it being 2D or based on the NSMB Mii demo (unless I'm out of the loop and missed another article) so it could be a new SMG game or other fully 3D Mario adventure from EAD Tokyo for all we know.
He said it's based on the Mario experience from last E3, which was NSMB Mii.

To be honest, this game never seemed very interesting to me. But that may just be because its not my cup of tea.
Nice Game of Thrones reference though

Ah, I stand corrected. Well if that's true then there may be a better chance for that being ready for launch then a new Studio Tokyo game.

Yeah, I'm thinking with the console in the family room, playing on the tablet upstairs in bed to end the day would be pretty cool (provided you could power off the console from there as well.)
Some of these are awesome.

I thought of that, a Mirror Edge 2, with a 3rd person large view on the main screen, and Mirror Edge classic first person view on the padlet.
That looks like a neat idea actually.

I'd be all over that game. But I hope it's Wiimote compatible, as I love pointer flashlight controls (see: Fragile Dreams). If they can get it to play like classic survival horror games - limited ammo, puzzle-solving, etc - that'd be fantastic.
Ha ha! Amen!

I'd hook a goddamn satellite dish into the Wii U if that would work.
You're talking about me, but I've been hesitant to delve too deeply into Icarus collecting for this reason. I have boxes, a treasure chest, a pile of poster tubes, etc etc.. all ready for their own dedicated room.
If Nintendo goes the crazy with collectables, it'd definitely be a love-hate affair here. My wallet would certainly weep!

I was conjecturing about a week ago an idea where somebody could examine the wireless protocol then build and sell a U-Fi to Ethernet bridge. You could buy a bridge and connect it at home, then buy another one and take it to work with you, then power it up and get incredibly slowly streaming Wii U play from fifty miles away. It'd be neat for turn-based games like a Civilization entry, though even then it would update like crap, I imagine.
Shitty Idea.
I've thought of a similar idea, a Mirror Edge 2, with a 3rd person large view on the main screen, and Mirror Edge classic first person view on the padlet.

Well, thing is, WiFi has pretty long range, but the signal slows down pretty quickly when you start leaving the room. I don't mean losing the signal, I mean getting less than all five bars. With the Wii U, the system has to guarantee that it can fully receive camera and control input data then fully transmit roughly half a million pixels of image data, all in under one-sixtieth of a second.
Physics may very well come into play here as a limiting factor.

Oh your reactions are welcomed
It would have been pretty epic (in a bad way) if you presented it as an actual, licensed third party controller with Android capabilities, just to mess with us. You could even have weasel worded it to sound like that's what you're saying while not actually saying it ("This new Wii U tablet form factor device plays Nintendo's games but also upgrades it to capacitive multitouch!").
I thought it was some random Nintendo PR rep that Kotaku contacted that said it was based on the demo from E3. That's why I don't put too much stock in it. Not because the source is Kotaku, but because I'm not sure a rep would know specifics about the game?
I'm naturally skeptical as well, but I'd have to see it in action beforw ruling it out.
Pretty much the same position I'm taking on Killer Freaks, now that I think about it..

All true, but Onlive works over wifi doesn't it? They recommend ethernet for PC, but it works on Android devices pretty well
Agree.. but I just spotted the F-Zero character profile screen and wept.
Make it happen, Miyamoto!
Love it! Now I won't be able to think of that song without, uhh, Reggie being in my mind..
Have there been any hints about the interface? Nintendo keeps talking about how online has to be different to be successful. So I'm thinking about Xbox live, what works, and what Nintendo could do to apply their touch.
My pipe dream is that your account is tied to a Mii and there's a virtual living room / game room / house. Buying a game from the virtual console makes the console appear on the entertainment center for the first time and adds virtual game box for your bookshelf -- an exact replica box that you can view from any angle. Arcade games purchased actually would show in your room for your Mii to walk up to.
In-game achievements unlock play coins which can be used for a variety of things - to upgrade your place with a better couch, better clothes, more furniture, different wallpaper etc. Buy a virtual working pool table, maybe. A virtual coffee table book on the history of Nintendo. Additions / ideas would be limitless. I'm guessing my idea is basically incorporating what Animal Crossing does (though I've never played the series).
Certain achievements in games (beating, 100%-ing, etc) would earn you a trophy for your trophy case - A virtual figurine of the main character of the game and/or the final boss. So that would be almost exactly like the Smash Bros. series. Find the first warp zone in Mario 1, get the 3d 8-bit Mario trophy. Beat 8-4, get the Bowser trophy. And/or stickers, cards, posters to put on the wall, etc.
Achievements for each VC game would be, say, 100 coins, and total achievements possible for real games would be 500. Again, similar to Xbox live. VC achievements wouldn't have to be complex. Say 5 achievements with the option of up to 5 hidden achievements (example: find the minus world in Mario 1 for 20 coins).
Leaderboards (high scores) for VC games would be local by default (your friend list) in addition to traditional worldwide options.
Anyway that's my thoughts. Give the actual OS software something meaty and fun to hang out in, unlike the gimmicky and forgettable AR Cards / Face Invaders stuff they relied on for 3DS.

Not a peep, from what I recall. Yet another secret to be unveiled..
I'd do anything for a new F-Zero title for the Wii U. I'll throw my Xbox 360 down a flight of stairs Miyamoto!

I am a fan of this page because I love fan mockups.
loooool, looks like they found the copy I had saved to my server! Probably popped up in a google search when they started hunting around.
I like his "mash the keyboard" comment regarding that particular picture.

it be cool to have two POV not sure if it would work as gameplay

Looks like we're going to be doomed to games using it for nothing but Huds then. I really don't see what's bad about this idea. You could even swap the views if you want.
Even if the best we get is a cleaner interface on the TV screen, I'd call that an improvement. Especially for ports, where standards are even lower. I'd just be happy to have the port, to be honest..
Expectations are low.. anything above is a pleasant surprise.

That's true. I haven't used Onlive, so I don't know how well it really works. Does it stream at 60fps? Is there less than a one-frame lag between controls and visual feedback? That's the kind of performance window Nintendo is looking to stay within. Granted, I won't complain if a drop-down to 30fps with a two-frame lag enables four Display Remote Controllers to be used in four separate bathrooms of one house at the same time.
I'm immediately imagining a Paper Mario sequel, where you can see from a classic sidescrolling view one frame and the alternate view in another frame.
3D - but spread between two windows!

You called AR games and Face Raiders gimmicky, and meant it in a bad way. I am disappoint.
I also don't think I'm too keen on a PS Home type deal with Miis. Accounts linked to Miis, and achievements or Play Coins -- yeah, that sounds good... and if they want to make something like StreetPass plaza with loads of fun things to do in it, then that's cool too...
...but I don't think they should make their online system reliant on a cutesy lobby or that they should tie their store to something like that. If they're going to make a new Mii Plaza (PS Home style) then it should be a completely optional app.
Whatever they do (OS wise) should be quick, painless and nice to navigate. This is something Nintendo really suck at (outside of the basic Wii / 3DS channel / game selection menus)... they seem to have this horrible penchant for using redundant dialog boxes. The last few Zelda and Mario games have suffered from it as well. Their over-riding thought when creating a new UI should be - how can I communicate something as clearly as possible and mitigate the need for the user to press the A button a million times.
I've no doubt they'll come up with something fun. On the online side, I just hope they have outside help with various conventions and UIs...
Don't worry. We won't go for your PC.
This. I'm not expecting much above a map, hud, or item selection screen.

If that's all we get, I'll be extremely disappointed. There's no point in designing a controller with a 6 inch screen in it only so that people can put HUD information on it. That would be a huge waste of resources. Hopefully Nintendo has thought this through well enough.
If no one but first party developers use the screen for something substantial, then this was probably a big mistake.
Edit: I'm not against some games making minimal use of it, but if the majority does, I don't see the point.
Man, I hope that we will see anything from Kojima on this. Remember the "First-Person-View function" in MGS3's cutscenes? Now imagine him using two screens for a cutscene to show different point of views for example - on the TV screen the "important" POV and on the controller a POV which shows some nice details.. or which is always in first person.
Again, this is such a great device for creative minds.
Again, this is such a great device for creative minds.
Is it bad to admit that I know nothing really about the PS3 lobby? Heh, sorry if I coincidentally swiped some ideas. But it could start with the traditional (but hopefully cleaner) Wii / 3DS style menu. Just I think this would flesh out the Mii concept quite a bit and if they put the work into it, it could work as their bundled app, sort of an Animal Crossing reworking that could keep people turning their systems on during droughts or just fun to mess around with.
Do these numbers include pack in games? I know when i was buying a wii i got 3 pack in games with system, extra controller and wii plus. I didnt own one third party game for the wii.
I can see more third party exclusives games using the controller more extensively. I think most multiplats will stick to hud or map on the controller.

I think it'll have a good variety of uses really...
general utility:
- use Wii-U as handheld for old Wii games or new Wii-U games
- playing touchscreen apps and games, drawing etc.
- use of the camera in apps and games (hopefully they add an outer facing cam too), video chat etc
- web browsing, using the screen as a zoomed scrolling window to the page that's on the TV.
- browsing media on the tablet and flicking them to the TV screen to share with a wider audience (this was shown in the unveil video)
- maybe something surprising like DS emulation
- possibly Universal Remote functionality
in games:
- asymmetric gameplay and alternate viewpoints, examples: first person display on DRC when held up, aliens scanner, detective-mode in Batman, gameplay view on DRC / cinematic view / replays on TV, etc.
- use of gun shaped remote holster to turn it into a gun with scope, think new gen Super Scope / Silent Scope.
- inventory / map / HUD
- persistent OS messages and notifications
- drawing gestures, think Kirby Canvas Curse, LostWinds, Yoshi Touch & Go, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan / Elite Beat Agents, Mario Paint, Colors 3D, Brain Age, Swapnote etc.
