Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Anonymous internet IGN guy is full of shit, unsurprisingly.

So, this September conference...has September actually been specified or are we just guessing September based on what Nintendo did with the lead up to the Wii?

A lot of them are. Luckily the Nintendo team (Richard George) is relatively solid, even if Audrey Drake's writing comes off as amateurish to me. She wrote an article about how NSMB2 will be better than NSMBU because of the focus on collecting coins, and a few days ago she said she was pretty disappointed with NSMB2. Hmm.

I digress!

Audrey is an amateur she got the job because of her myIGN blogs and she's been complaining ever since....

Seeing as I've held the controller I'm not worried it was light but it still felt durable in the hands plus since the screen isn't glass no worries about cracks....

It mostly happens the week before TGS and TGS is in Sept.

Make since, TGS is sure to have a lot of Japanese WiiU games that we dont know about

The more I think about it, the more I think we may get some Wii U news out of the August Nintendo Direct. Assuming it's after 3DS XL/NSMB2 launch, what 3DS shit do they really need to talk about? It should be all about Wii U at that point.

they're going to show us Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion footage, aren't they

No Wii U stuff on that ND, I'm pretty sure of that

It's going to cover whatever 3DS games come out in the next two months, so probably those and Art Academy. Also Pokemon. If NoA has any inclination to release any of the remaining Wii games, this is pretty much the last place to announce them before the Wii U comes out. Maybe an eShop title or two. There's your twenty minutes. Of course, there's nothing stopping them from making a longer Nintendo Direct with Wii U stuff, but it doesn't seem necessary if the fabled September conference is coming up.

"Hey, remember these 3DS games we announced at E3?" *shows footage we've already seen with release dates* "Btw, you should totally buy a 3DS XL!" *advert for the XL* "Also, get excited for WiiU, we're about to reveal more info...OKBAI!"

Don't forget, Nintendo showed off Zombi U and NSMBU for the first time in a ND.
They've also announced or teased plenty of games (in Japan). Also consider the 3DS XL announcement. It's pretty clear they view these as important marketing tools now. I don't expect anything huge, but a small video tease or a screenshot of a new game could be possible.

Also, they will talk about Animal Crossing 3DS, which is coming out in Autumn.

20 minute demo and overly long explanation of 3DS Wara Wara.

I actually have a bit of faith in Nintendo Directs. They always yield something interesting. I'm not sure if we'll see Wii U stuff, but I think the color will let us know if it's strictly 3DS related.

I don't mind seeing little things. The remote control capability shown in the Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct was nice enough. I'd be content with glimpses of small features like that.

remote control feature looks silly. Cos I cant imagine it working. I guess it would work in the same way as an iphone remote control app, ie not at all. I have 3 different remotes for my tv that I use. Youre telling me the Wii U will replace all of them? For all international cable providers??

Pick up the Wii U remote. Press Wii U power. Press TV power. Play Wii U.

I don't think it's really made to replace all your TV remotes, but since it can be used without turning the Wii U on, then if it's fully featured enough to do so, universal remotes with screens are around 300 bucks, I don't know how you could complain about that feature.. There's only a few brands of set top boxes out there, so it couldn't be that hard to have codes for all of them.

If you've never used the remote app on your iPhone, you probably don't have your computer hooked up to your stereo...

You're probably right, Nintendo is going to add a feature that doesn't work. I do share your worry about the multiple remotes though. I hope Nintendo doesn't pull a Nintendo and only allow for one device support. I would love to use the controller for a universal remote. I'm curious to see how it's handled.

Here's a Patent Application published today, which seems to demonstrate local multiplayer session(s) using WiiMotes, where player-1 is using the TV and player-2 the Upad, as main screens.

I hope so, yes, it wouldn't be that much work. Be nice to see them branded or skined for the different providers.

If the Wii U is app centric and as easy to develop and publish for (within reason) as Android then TV platform providers could make their own.

I think it would also be nice if you could make your own custom remote control interfaces. Sould be easy for Nint to provide icons, graphics etc, draw your own with the touch screen, and if there aren't maps provided, it should easily be possible on the U pad to point your cable remote at the pads IR sensor, press a button and map that button onto your interface.

It really seems like more possibilities appear every day. I really hope nintendo can capitalize on them.

This part was lame, I don't do this. It also doesn't jive with the rest of your comedic post, it comes off serious not playful ribbing like the rest. Pretty lame dude.

neat idea. But again, if it hasnt happened yet on the app store I dont think it will with the Wii U. You know they really should make something like this for iphonepads..

lol dude, you just described game publishing 101. This shouldn't surprise you , also xbox live had a digital release of crysis 1 after crysis 2 was released for it.

And 3DS! If they want the uPad to be integrated into the livingroom, they need to make the remote thing universal and very intuitive and customisable... to the point that people might actually get a Wii U for that feature, or swing the deal for them.

That was just after trying the 3DS XL for the first time.
