Yeah, I remember Reggie (subtly) trash talking the PS3 for its removal of OtherOS back in E3 2006/7. Nowadays, they don't do it. Bad PR?

Hmmm, thanks for the response.
That keynote is my favorite talk on the industry as a whole. It was very insightful and meant to try and reignite the passion in traditional game design rather than simply bash mobile gaming.

More that it's a sign of fear.
When you have to trash your competition, then you've already lost.

Somehow I've been removed from the hype train which is not cool. 
Anyways, here is an interesting article on a potential Wii-U App Store.

Well, mostly because there's no real information there.
It's pure speculation and just reposting of stuff we know.
I mean, we can discuss an App Store from Nintendo, if you like, but it's not going to be some huge thing for us, simply because it's not really gaming related.

And then Blur never charted and got the studio closed.
So, what have we learned?
NEVER INSULT THE MIGHTY NINTENDO OR PREPARE FOR ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION!
Well, I'm just saying. I mean, they'll have some basic apps like they do now. Maybe entice some neat little programs. It'll never be the size of iOS (thankfully), but for the most part it'll be pretty boring. It's the games that come along with their online store that are most interesting.
just don't insult to anyone.
It makes you look mad and desperate
But yeah, Nintendo is a bitch with class

Ah, it was DDR3 I was thinking of that had the density change! My bad, I was getting my DDR3 and GDDR3 mixed up! Looks like we'll end up with 1.5GB of GDDR3 then, can't see them opting for DDR3 despite having 2 pools of eDRAM to pick up the slack.

It could have some odd resolution, though I doubt it.
480 is just easier to translate to for developers.

I know it's probably been mentioned before, but I'll be pretty bummed if we never get a World Ends With You sequel on Wii U. It's too perfect.

depends how open Nintendo is. If iOS developers could get their big titles on the wiiU app store, it could be a significant market for them, and a big bullet point for Nintendo.
It will be as big as they want it to be. Problem is they probably won't go balls out and it'll just be some tame shop of some sort.
anyway more pixxxx:
viewing angle looks decent

^^^^ I hope the steel bar is for a wrist strap.
lol I didn't know it was a USB port
it doesn't look like it.
I need my glasses! where are my damn glasses!

I just realized how much not looking at pictures has been helpful in the wait.
Ouch. Those are pretty.
This is going to be a long wait. I'm a pretty patient guy and don't usually whine for news, but we've gotta get something this week.. right? Right?

Now that is the HDMI port that probably won't be on the retail units, right?

yeah there is no point of it that I can think of, once they get all the streaming tech done it becomes useless.

Unless they do this weird thing where they use Mini HDMI for 4 player with the controller...
Hmmm.
Actually, that might not be a bad idea. Bundle each controller with a Mini HDMI cable.
-Pyromaniac-

I wouldn't even mind if they kept it, might come in handy one day for something, doesn't seem obtrusive.
meanwhile in fantasy world:
Would it be possible to charge through HDMI?
If they did do something like that, I'm inclined to believe it'd most likely be a proprietary port that's designed to act as a charging cable as well as a video feed cable

Not entirely sure, honestly.
But it would be quicker and cheaper to do it via USB, regardless.
I hadn't seen that New Super Mario Bros Mii pic before. Nice catch. and yes, nice viewing angles.
I still hope there's going to be some kind of charging dock for the controller, even if it's an optional accessory.
I guess they're finally being nice to lefties?

Doesn't the 360 GPU have a 128 bit bus with 512MB of GDDR3..? I'm pretty sure it does...so why can't Nintendo do the same..? Developers are used to working with 128 bits of bandwidth so it would make more sense to follow suit, wouldn't it..?
