Different placement of things, slightly larger, maybe different shape.

I actually like it better than the Wii which is overrated in design.
The Gamecube was the best designed system ever because of its size though and because it was purple.
With that said, the redesign likely won't be drastic at all and isn't going to be the reason anyone will buy it nor should it be.

New unique colors never done before would be one of the few ways I think could help the system in sales.
Then again, what do I know, everyone wants the same boring black once again.
A variety would help some though.
Not sure what you mean by ignoring them. They'll have games that will cater to that crowd if that's what you're implying. I just don't think Nintendo's helping their case with the Wii U name and, if they stick with the same design, their current known design for the Wii U. I'm sure a lot of people will be confused because of this.

If it looks radically different though and the name is different(which I am sure it won't be), the fans of the Wii wouldn't have any connection to it though except for the Nintendo fans.
I didn't mind the Wii U console design, but the size and shape was a little unwieldily. Hopefully the can shrink it a little, particularly the length of the console.
Exactly. That's what drives me crazy about people who think the Wii brand is poison. There are 90 million households filled with Wii Remotes and peripherals. This is the first console I can remember that actually allows the transfer of peripherals to the next iteration.
The value prop is brilliant.
My dream Metroid on Wii U is the bones of Other M's third person gameplay combined Prime's visor modes. M:OM's pixel hunt visor mode was shameful, but if they could integrate the level of polish from Prime, it would be great. They could have the visor gameplay on the DRC. Recapture the atmosphere of the original titles and we've for a winner.

I don't expect a redesign besides subtleties but I wouldn't be shocked if it has its own unique color we haven't seen before.

What are you watching?

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
IN all seruousness, I'd like to see a two tone casing in grey and white, with a touch of color trim... similar to what the Wii U E3 exhibitor representatives were wearing:
Notice the blue trim between the white and grey. I think that could look slick on the case, with grey base and white top.

Ok, let me rephrase my question.
Why are you watching that?

I would not mind spending some time with her to discuss the WiiU.

I would be all about that. Especially if the blue outline/trim lights-up.

BY2K... This is an intervention. We're getting worried about your G4 watching habits...

Im only noticing the girl, dont know about you.
Agreed. I hope it gets a whole makeover tbh (not just slight improvements like the controller)
I just want to know what people expect from E3, that's all. Is that so bad?
Plus, turns out they weren't really discussing E3 at all, more like rumours we heard off before E3 that might get confirmed at E3.
A console redesign, thats all
A question we've been asking for the past 5 years.
My guess is this old adage has something to do with it: "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".
Except most news outlets can't even stick to that.
That's what she said.

I don't think there's anyone left at G4 who's capable of relating videogame information that aren't otherwise rage-inducing
I saw that xD

Yeesh, guys! I was away for two and a half days, and look what you did:
I had to spend all night catching up so I could fill my news summary. Only thing I couldn't put down to a specific post number was that weird Star Fox Metroid thing. Are people taking that seriously?
At this rate, thread's done on Tuesday. Please let me have at least all of Monday to finish up my thread starting gif.
So soon we see if IdeaMan was secretly permajuniored by some mischievous mod who didn't tell anybody, eh? Let's hope not and that he gets uplifted like the rest of us.

It is a redesign that has been public for months but few people realized it

No one is believing the Metroid/StarFox thing, really.
I'm kinda shocked at the number of people who want to believe, haha..

My guess is because it's Retro.
They could pull off any odd concept.
If it was a rumored Team Ninja game, do you really think people would want to believe it???
Considering Paul Gale posts rumors that end up being false anyway, I wouldn't believe that for a second.
Precisely.
The only reason I say "wait and see" on such a thing is because of the studio involved in the rumor. Otherwise, I'd think that such an idea is dead in the water.

Less than 373 hours remain. Not too shabby.
You posted today, I'm seeing here.
