I think we'll see slight console changes. Only Iwata and co. know right now.

and this is awesome, Nintendo is leak proof these days. The ninjas are worth every buck they get paid. I bet even the Ninjas habe informations about WiiU.

who is saying no redesign?
Ideaman stated that there are new WiiU Devkits which have the exact same form as the WiiUs @ E3 2011. This could hint to no redesign

IdeaMan is saying that since the latest dev kit looks like the original design but with special coloring, just like the final Wii dev kits, that chances are the deisn isn't gonna change.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Maybe he will take my suggestion and use the Twitter to start randomly stating Wii U performance specs.

If we'll see a completely redesigned Wii U(very extensive changes) tonight, then it was hidden to third-parties, as they supplied the latest dev kits with drive integrated, like the luigi Wii dev kits, using the design we saw at E3 2011.
It's not impossible huh
Did your sources know what the 2011 Wii U looked like before last year's E3? Did they?

How often do dev kits reflect the final retail form factor? Always?

I do want it in BLACK
This, just give me black at launch. The Controller would look waaaaay better in black.

I think it would look a lot better in black. Helps hide that odd form factor.
When we get to T-10 hours to E3 everyone can watch this to fill the time:

They're out Apple-ing Apple in secrecy.
Basically he's saying it'll either stay the same or it won't. I bet he's right.
Sadly, it seems like we are doomed to only have white, at least at the launch release anyway.
Miyamoto Interview from Game Informer June 2011

I really don't see the harm in just sticking to two launch colors - white and black. Nintendo's done it with the DS and 3DS too. Well, 3DS now has a shit ton of colors to choose from now. I don't recall what the situation was like with the DS during the same time frame.
Gah, I was hoping for a redesign
Why? the case looks fine! minimal, clean and neutral.

I find black boring, because every damn game system after the SNES has been available in black. I'm hoping for shiny gold, and shaped like a triforce.
It's a possibility that these latest "final form" dev kits they received are exactly like the E3 2011 units, but that the consoles for us we'll be in a different color, with small alterations. It's the scenarios 1 or 2 of my post. They are the most likely.
A complete overhaul, a redesign (redesign means a very different design, not small changes or different color), if it happens, means Nintendo kept this hidden to third-parties, and maybe they will supply them again other dev kits with this new form.

Not a fan of pink, but I'll take that over white. Indeed.
Last appetizer before the Nintendo direct
About the square button near power on the Wii U controller
You may remember this post (also in the leaked DRC picture thread) where i detailed some modifications that appeared on the updated Wii U "padlet".
There are more evidences that indeed, this button is to switch directly between the TV and the Wii U controller. This will avoid the need to go to the interface, choose an option, etc, it will be instantly.
Now, will it work for every games, especially for titles built using two screens simultaneously (TV + controller) ? I hope we'll have some answers tonight
But this feature is already cool, imagine someone in a rush to not miss a tv show while you're playing, by just pressing a button, your game is on the DRC !

He was great. Actually cared about handhelds.
I really want to know where they did that study, unless they are basing it on Apple Products. Consoles are for the TVs, most TV sets are Black, it goes more inline with everything in the living room. Once Black Wii's came out, we were selling them like gangbusters, and when given with a choice between black or white, 90% of consumers at my store chose black. To the point that Nintendo pretty much has only been making Black Wii's here in the US since Last Holiday season.
