This is actually electrostatic haptics. The other video, cool as it seemed, was just a bunch of very tiny rumble packs.
edit: Watch the video at that link into the actual tech explanation. It's fuckawesome in principle.
I don't expect the Wii U's launch to match the pace of Wii (price is one good reason), but Wii U still needs its killer app at E3.
Blow everyone's minds at the conference
Watch stampede the following day
Gonzo launch sales
E3 2006 needs to happen again
E3 2012 confernce
Reggie-
New Metroid, new Zelda, New Mario, New Original FPS, racing simulator, Pic-min all avaible from day one. Thank you all for comming, I hope you enjoyed the the conference but before you leave did I mention that Day ONE IS TOMORROW!?

If my mother is typical of most mothers- and she really is- they have a tendency to be scared by technology from the outset, so the act of simply buying the thing can be super stressful, especially given how retail duders love to try and make the additional sale of things mums buying for children won't know shit about. (Actually, my mum is pretty good about just buying the thing and getting the hell out traditionally, but I've read plenty of clueless-parents-at-retail stories to know better than to assume my mum is altogether typical in that regard.) Nintendo is good at making clear-to-understand pieces of hardware, but that only goes so far with some folk.
And yeah, the lack of supply issue probably aggravates more so, you're right. I didn't even consider that, I was just thinking about technophobia.

Wait.. available for demo on the show floor, or for purchase?
I'd love for them to do a surprise-release in late summer. August or September sounds really good, although camping in hot, humid weather with other hot, humid Ninthings might not be as pleasant as camping in colder weather. But it would certainly throw the competiton's countermeasures into disarray a bit.

That would be amazing. Releasing a system immediately following E3 has never been tried before, and there is certainly no chance of it backfiring at all!

Features a collection of masculine, strong willed men and not herbivore. Everything a Japaneese women really wants.
You know this needs to come with an extra wireless accessory?
They're already tackling the annual CoD (is it Blops 2?), wonder if they'd fight a two front war like that for the sake of sticking it to Nintendo. My intuition tells me yes.. :lol

Oh, but of course! No need to preorder. You can go to Best Buy at noon and pick one up.

When do pre-orders usually go up for Nintendo stuff? After E3? I can't remember for the Wii or 3DS or DS or anything...

wait until GAL GUN WiiU is announced :3
I think,this time around, Nintendo is threatening enough for them to take counter-measures. Gone are the days of Wii60 and "we don't consider them to be competition."
Cool, I'll wait until after noon so I can sleep in a bit.
Once a firm release date is known.

For purchase. Two weeks before we would get reports of mysterious yellow boxes with a question mark being supplied to retailers all over the world.It would be displayed behind the counter locked. Viewable by consumers but untouchable; nobody would know whats inside untill day one.

well that's boring.
Wii was Friday, October 13th. Too soon before launch for my tastes.. I was antsy waiting for that day. After getting a preorder, I was more relaxed..
Nintendo announced the release date in mid-September.
Rule 34 has to do with google? We were having a laugh.

I'm probably going to insert my penis into the Wii U anyway, might as well make a LOVE PLUS game to make it seem slightly better for the jury
Man.. I could see a series of news stories about attempted GameStop burglaries in that event..

No, you're allowed to lack tits and still be in this discussion. I was talking about Rule 34. That's the one about it being sexy and on the Internet already.
edit: no fair, you edited your rule number before I clicked reply

I was hoping for 2 months early at the least.
Same here. I was a much more relaxed guy with that preorder receipt in my safe at home..

Wait, weren't you telling a story earlier today about how you camped out for a Wii?
It would be the most shocking move ever pulled in the game industry. The other two companies would be like, "what the hell just happened.. were fu**ed"
Also nintendo should stream there conference on MTV channel, or some other channel. At the end of the conference... Nintendo should moneyhat the main tv programs, to make a emergency type news broadcast saying that the Wii U is being released tomorrow with that that and that game.

Nah.. I camped out for a Wii preorder. It was in October.
Holy shit, you camped out for a piece of paper?
I just went to the store an hour before opening a week after the system came out. There were plenty.
I get the impression that Microsoft, umm, owns that TV channel. Especially after their 360 launch festivities.
Just a hunch.

I see, I was beginining to wonder why one would preorder a console if you still had to camp out for launch, other than to make the retailer happy as shit for getting your money even faster.
Oh yes. Lots of us did. To have it over and done weeks in advance was a big stress relief. When I went in to pick up my stuff, the shop had it all in one big bag for me. It was a nice experience.
(and the store only had a small portion of the price: my deposit. I paid the rest on Launch Day.)

I showed up at Costco an hour before opening on launch day and walked out with one. I was one of the lucky ones.

MTV is Viacom and they do have a long-term advertising relationship with Microsoft.
Having said that, Reggie Fils-Aime was Senior Vice President of marketing at VH1 (also Viacom), I'm sure Nintendo have the means and contacts to work with them too.

I Want them to have the console in landscape rather than portrait. Both my PS3 and 360 are in landscape and my Wii is the odd one out. I'd also like them to have 2 different coloured SKUs, a black U with a blue light would match my telly and PC.
I'd love to see them try that kind of thing, if only for the exposure that it would get among the demographic that Nintendo is seeking. But I have a feeling that the content would annoy me to no end, hehe..
Would be cool if the disc light could change colour.

I really hope they don't keep the circle pads on the controller if they're just like the 3DS one(s).
I'd send my Wii U account emails, just to get it to light-up.. haha..
You ain't alone, I remember when I first got my Wii I was always asking my girlfreind to send me something, anything, to make that light pop on. Usually pictures of her cat :lol
Anyways, I'm hoping you could take the controller into your room and use it as an alarm-clock type thing. Have little updates you could scroll through while the Wii sleeps.

Uh, YEAH...so any sympathy I felt for him/his company regarding their experience or any perception that he was only being blunt and honest just got tossed out the window. It's one thing to gripe about a personal experience with Nintendo but way to advertise your game to me the consumer by slapping me in the face and telling me all those countless hours I spent on my Wii were just with party games and my system is only a toy. Seriously, what's with the huge spike in deliberate ill will being directed at Nintendo and its fans lately by devs?
Not sure, but it makes me only return the sentiment toward such developers. Those poor, poor babies..
