You're the one who uses a GAF theme.
Everyone? I knew they would have digital downloads, but didn't expect it for every "major" title.
They have to have some sort of HDD scu, bundle, or accessory. I know the Wii U will have SD and USB support and some fairly high memory capacity, but if I buy all the major releases as digital downloads that should fill up fast. (I guess other USB HDD will work, but won't Nintendo want to cash in on there own option?)
The hell does that have to do with this!?

Man, one of the most obvious things why the WiiU will be successful just came to my mind.
Its a home console version of the DS... The best selling handheld console ever. Games on DS can get an WiiU sequel. Maybe we see some kind of DS VC once they kill the system off. Or DS remakes for WiiU...
They should call it Wii DS

Me too
We just need an algorithm to search easily news/a standardized & very flashy method to present them for us to spot them in a glimpse while browsing the pages/a way to tag posts as "NEWS".
Well, with the digital launch of NSMB2 in digital at the same time as the retail launch, it was clear that Nintendo was going to do this. and with the inclusion of retail codes, the barrier that ware the brick-and-mortar retailers is not there anymore.
Offtopic: BY2K, thanks for the tip on userscripts for NeoGAF, I'm liking re:GAF a lot!

Regardless of what Nintendo decides to do when it comes to sharing the technical specifications of Wii U, it will be interesting to know how they will answer question regarding the machines portability in connection to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (and also Xbox Durango and Orbis). And also if it is indeed more powerful than these systems. They have said they don't focus on specs but just saying that a few hundreds times to journalists and analysts from varying companies ought to become rather tedious.
While I definitely can see myself doing some reverse engineering on Wii U to find out its true capabilities, it would be nice to have a spec sheet so I at least could choose between knowing perhaps not all details but a good share of them and opening up a box for a hefty sum of money to know everything.

I don't get why they don't just call it Wii 2
Second wii, people will get that it is a new wii. Plus the 2 can be for two screens.

No.
They won't focus on the retail scene at E3.
It'll be about the games and the experience.
We'll learn about the rest in the fall.

I think it is likely that we will get that detail once the price is announced.

Once you remove the heat spreaders and the thermal compound, the WiiU will reveal its secrets to you:Rösti;37442753 said:
- An IC bearing the IBM logo and a part number no google-indexed IC database will give you a meaningful info about, and..
- An IC carrying the AMD logo with a part number surprisingly similar in information value to the one above.
You will be able to lookup the sdam part numbers, though ..perhaps ; )
Hmmm... guess there is no point in going back to my Iwata edit then.
I'm pretty sure details about packaging usually come in the form of press releases. Don't remember them ever focusing on that aspect during a stage showing.
The same reason the Xbox 360 wasn't called the Xbox 2
PS 4
XBox 1080
Wii... 2
Or not.

"Wii DS" has so much potential for confusion.. but for some strange reason, I really like it, haha..Man, one of the most obvious things why the WiiU will be successful just came to my mind.

he explains why Wii U was chosen, but Wii 2 is simply a better name business/marketing wise imo. No confusion whatsoever, retains branding, cna also be cutesy with the 2 screens because we know nintendo loves cutesy bullshit (hence the U).

I don't think Nintendo themselves ever mentioned it.
Just a lot of talk around it from journalists.
Wii U is likely the final name.

As much as I hate the name, I think they're sticking with it.
I'll eat 10 hats and put it on YouTube if specs are revealed. The rest we know already because Iwata said those would happen.
In the bright side Nintendo can create a worse name than Wii U.
I'm still partial to Nintendo HDS, or at the very least, Wii HDS. I can even picture a logo animation where HD and DS merge.
What about a one-time magnetometer calibration? Wii U asks you to raise the controller up in front of the TV and hold it for a few seconds, then it saves the magnetometer measurement. You can redo the calibration from the Wii U Settings if you move your TV or hook up to a different one.

I understad. I think that Nintendo decided to keep the Wii name due to the brand recognition. Although, personally i dont think that the name matters that much to be honest, as long as they get the idea of the console across to the consumers.
I read the article now, and the "specs" that were mentioned earlier is referring to the final design of the Wii. It is more about the final looks and functionality of the WiiU rather than hardware specs.
Same here. Even if they just changed the "U" part, I'd be content. The "U" part reminds me of lazy texting abbreviations, which I loathe.
Sure, but IR is significantly more reliable than motion (and gyroscopic pointing a-la WM+/Move) and vastly more accurate than dual-analog.

They'll never release a spec sheet, and as blu's mentioned - removing heatspreaders is going to give you bupkis in regards to information. The only way you'll ever get specs is if someone leaks them again.
Yup. Wishful thinking on Patrick's part.

Alright fine. I prefer dual analog controls but I hope that those who prefer IR get what they want.

I'll gladly buy one for you.
and add a bottle of chocolate syrup to make it more edible
I'm pretty skeptical anyone in the media would have any sort of contact that would know about a name change.
