What if in Japan, Nintendo sets up an infrastructure where they establish Wii U Server systems (capable of streaming to multiple controllers) in transit systems and other applicable public places. These would be capable of streaming video services, e-shop titles, demos and 1 or 2 featured games (Monster Hunter), that people could connect their Wii U controllers to and play (providing they had pre-existing save data). Making it a tethered portable if you would. Similarly, they could transmit to Wii U compatible NFC tokens to download content to users that they can unlock once at home (Pokemon, etc). I know its unlikely, but it seems like a way to really push the systems popularity in Japan.
That was my original stance, but I think because we had the Wii Zapper, Wii Speak, Wii Balance Board, Wii Motion Plus, WiiMote Plus
People may confuse it with a peripheral for the Wii
Wii U comes with dubstep confirmed?
Seriously, I read that color has WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB.
In their defense, I still think this would have been a positive thing, and clearly so did certain developers.

solution: redesign the Wii logo with the i's as bullets, dotted with blood spatters

Yes, Nintendo is definitely pursuing a "darker" strategy here.
Hey, Ubisoft, if you're lurking, you should totally "borrow" this idea for one of the commercials for the hardcore exclusive you're undoubtedly bringing to the WiiU.
Not Rayman 2.

playing Kid Icarus, it definitely would have benefited with another stick. The game is unplayable for me without the stand.

Shouldn't that be Lamecube Nofriendo anyway?

Launch the Wii U in black. Then people will crave the white version (Japan only). Then, 2.5 years later, release the white version.

Will the Wii U run crysis?
The answer is no.
Someone did a project cafe mockup of the wii u controller in black. It looked sleek as hell, much better than white.

Nothing new. Just talking about how Kidtendo needs to choose a better shade of gray for the Wii U logo.

No way. They need to upend the teatable. Make it laser sharp, like the glowing disc slot of Wii.

Perhaps "blacker than the darkest pitch" will convince the hardcore gamers to come to their side. Truly, that is the only obstacle remaining!

You're both right. Hold on while I notify President Fils-Aime.
No, it needs to be launched in grey.
Those are beautiful.

That red one is sexy.
Bring back the red logo, Nintendo!

Since I skimmed through some pages, was this posted a couple days ago?
http://www.computerandvideogames.co...ard-to-seeing-what-we-can-do-on-wii-u/?page=2
So if this wasn't demoed at E3, would this be lumped in with games like Crysis 3, Epic Mickey 2, Tomb Raider, etc?

Thoughts?
Edit: lol redesign night, red looks sweet enough to lick.
The latter one is pretty nice, but I think it's be cooler if you changed the "Wii" to a gray colour. After all, that's one of the HD colours.
Probably not considering they announced it as a Wii U title. The titles you mentioned were never announced for the Wii U. Seems like they're under NDA like everyone else until E3.
Wii would be gray and the U would be brown. Brilliant.
Lol battle star reference?

Of course, they could always just relent and call it Wii 2 with minimal damage. They could even tie in the fact that they (hopefully) get 2 tablets operational in some titles. I don't buy into the argument that people would think less of it next to a higher numerical PS4. If anything, consumers are weary of the trend that the more numerical sequels = the more decline in quality...which is why Wii U is probably the best choice.
I don't think the bolded applies beyond movie titles, honestly. iPad 2 begs to differ.

I like it in that purple.
Wait, is that even purple???
Midnight blue perhaps?
They should call it "The New Wii".
I honestly think it would be, since noone can say anything they always have to answer with either "we're not doing it at this point" or "we haven't considered it because *insert any reason here*". And people interpret those in different ways.
Basically at this point it's best to wait until E3, and just as one example that might encourage optimism for the games you mentioned possibly coming to Wii U, Warren Spector was in the developer video at Nintendo's E3 conference last year talking about Wii U, so we know they've got dev kits but may not have been ready to announce EM 2 then. Considering the apparent ease of porting from the 360 to the U, it would be surprising if they didn't do so after at least a year, but they have to deny a Wii U version either way as they would be under NDAs.

I'd buy the silver one in a heartbeat

Yeah, 3DS's problems seemed to be more a mix of the game draught and the obscenely high introductory price than anything to do with the name.
I understand your opinions. I do fear that "U" as a "modifier" isn't really describing something new or advanced, like um, "Advance" did with the Gameboy line, though. GBA didn't have that name problem, but that was before Nintendo started with all the SPs, XLs, Lites, etc. etc. I can see how an uninformed consumer would be confused by 3DS, though I wouldn't have predicted it at the time... And as was said, 3DS had its own problems before it caught it's stride so it wasn't just the name.
Keep in mind too that tons of Wii games have used Wii in the title with a "modifier." Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Music, Wii Party, etc etc. Not to mention hardware components like Wii Sensor Bar, Wii Remote, Wii Balance Board and so on. So it's understandable that some people are thinking the Wii U is some tablet controller coming out for their Wii. Anyone on NeoGAF wouldn't have the problem distinguishing, but a soccer mom or Average Joe might get confused.
The Gameboy name was very valuable when Nintendo switched gears in calling the DS the DS. So "Nintendo U" still isn't out of the question and hey, I like it. I don't know that it's really going to be a big deal if they stick with "Wii U" but I see the problem. Hopefully they work on the logo more and launching in black (or that silver mockup) might not be a bad move either.

And that matters exactly how when the system sells well?
There are still folks who call most game console "The Nintendo"
And I refer to the 360 as the Xbox all the time.

I don't know why, but I suddenly believe it should be called the Nintendo Get Off My Lawn.
