Yeah, jimbojones in the IRC mentioned that as a possibility. I think you're both right.
It's likely also a charging unit, considering the video chat will eat through batteries.
Neat.

stand, as above said, but anyway, closer look:What is this? .. hard drive? It's about 10 pixels off-center so it can't be part of the TV stand.
Does anyone have a screen of the dashboard with the menu in the left corner?
They said that the "Miiverse" or "Miiplaza" will be the first thing we'll see when we'll turn on the pad or the console, but I saw in the video also a parte where they were showing this manu bar on the left part of the screen...

The console itself here looks a bit different than what we saw at E3 2011. Though I didn't see any large differences when the white version was shown. It looks almost as some kind of expansion (like the 64DD) is attached to the console, or it has some kind of line that continues from the disc loader.

The only thing strange about it is that it's clearly from a game engine instead of being CG. So, team took the time to at least code that on some engine.

It is possible, however unlikely, that the port is for charging only.

It's good to hear that the mods are aware of the trash invading all WiiU related threads. I hope they start cleaning it up soon because I'm sick of seing it. Reading this thread is a godsend compared to reading anything posted in the main forum.

stump made a thread about it actually; guess he wasn't ready to say the least lol
and it's 'bloober' team now, btw
god bless who-ever decided to move this thread to community;
at first I wasn't happy about becoming idjits, but I now am happy that we become idjits
The only sidedown is that we won't see OT VII before the show, lol
in the right corner there was the "square" area, but in the left upper corner there was some sort of blue window with different dashboard elements

It sure looks like a placeholder. From the horrible textures, to the low poly models, this would be absolutely embarassing as a current gen game.
It's just meant to portray a popular genre. If anything this would be part of Killerfreaks (with the london theme) but for that it would have to look worse than the version of last year.

It could be a internal demo Nintendo uses for testing.Like others have said if it's real we'll see it tomorrow,or Geoff Keighley would ask Reggie about it.
In the video the zombie game is called "Shooter" and yes that is its icon.

I will put forward that some of the time, what is seen as trolling here is simply somebody posting a contrary opinion, such as "that 5x IGN rumour is exaggerated" or "many gamers want controllers they're used to". These people are often attacked right off the bat or are answered with "lol junior" instead of reasonable attempts to debate their points, so they lock down their positions into stubborn mode and become incredibly defensive.
NB: my phone originally tried to correct "they're used to" with "they're hard to".

The horrible textures about match the amount of effort I expect Ubisoft to put into an exclusive Wii U game.
We'll see, though. One more day!

Yay! Great job. I was curious about the different icons on the left...I'll study it a little bit!
Yes, in the video I was "Kill the zombies!" as one of the messages that pop-out!

I doubt they want to make a game to compete with their killer freak oneThe horrible textures about match the amount of effort I expect Ubisoft to put into an exclusive Wii U game.

btw, does those messages have dislike button?

I'm implying the Killer Freaks game may have turned into this. Something a bit more generic.

Hell even Red Steel 1 had better textures and character models (in places)
walking fiend

why should they stop using a very famous icon and instead opt for a generic shooter?
I think it's extremely unlikely; and plus, I believe even killer freak we saw last year looked better than this. It looks like HoD for wii.
maybe it's just a mod for it or something.
Not sure how you can decide on the quality of textures there, the images are clearly low quality with lots of artifacts. Polys are certainly low in places though.

I don't know if it's real, but it's more likely than I originally thought when I saw the video. It was so quick I assumed it was just some CG bullshit.
As I said, we'll see tomorrow (or today if it's Ubisoft!)

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Just the idea that the zombie game was real and representative of the type of graphics the system can do makes me shudder. That would have been a horrible decision by Nintendo to use a real game that looked like that in their trailer.

The hands are stiff for crying out loud. They stick off like a piece of wood.
This is a placeholder, through and through meant to show how Miiverse will be integrated into single player stuff other than Nintendos own games.

Even though you are right with the artifacts, it's clearly that the textures are nothing splendid..
You only have to look at the police zombies and at the zombie "boss". It's disappointing at least if this is a game.

I am pretty sure there's no way that game being a 3rd party one; so maybe an internal download game or someshit; hopefully, no game at all

That's a Mii with an emoticon applied basically.

Maybe it isn't a real game, I have no opinion on that, just saying you can't evaluate textures from low quality artefact ridden images.
Well I should have been more clear. I only play Madden and their NBA offering so I don't know how well the golf, FIFA, and other games translated.
But for Madden they did try, but to me it became more of a pain than intuitive or fun.
I do see plenty of potential for sports games in general with the tablet gamepad though. Especially for local multiplayer.
You can decide the Mii's mood when you post on WiiU plaza. You know emoticons and stuff.

Thank the lord for back problems, no work today!
Stupid work, my back hurts so much.

You know, I'm starting to think more and more that we won't be able to transfer over virtual console games from Wii. Instead, they'll try to sell us on achievements and this "Dark Souls" style hint system for all the old games.
I'd probably buy a rebuy a bunch of old favorites for achievements alone.

Yes you can. The textures on the zombies faces are awfull. Even with the artifacts you can clearly see that they are low quality.
If this is what Killer Freaks turned into... then holy shit... cyberheater might just get to keep his avatar and be right about it.

Riiiiiight back problems are you going to have these same "back problems" tomorrow
J/k hope you get better soon.
Knowing Shin'en's programming abilities, this game will probably look like Unreal Engine 4
