I hope that Nintendo allows for the use of third party Bluetooth headsets like the PS3 does.

I'd say a modest redesign is likely, the Wii remote underwent many changes during its development process. Though the controller was at E3 last year described by many journalists etc. as comfortable and lightsome, so the shown design could also stay.

What is the % of a Kingdom Hearts I and II HD remake collection launch for Wii-U?
I'm not even trying to start anything, but that IGN rumor really tells us nothing so far. If that was what being sourced as reference for the system's CPU, nothing in the article was stated regarding as much. If it's the source behind the rumor then, I'm all ears.

I'd say about -300%

Considering there isn't even an HD collection for Kingdom Hearts on the PS3, I'd say 0%.

jump_button, I have never seen anyone so authoritatively talk about things they have no idea about.

I was a big Wii hater, but I'm actually really interested in the WiiU now... dammit. Can't wait for some more E3 news!
If it's already comfortable I doubt they will make more changes, you can bet they tested the thing back and forth to make it as ergonomic as possible. Aesthetics comes second with Nintendo (not saying it's ugly actually).

What is the source of that hilarious "GameCube basement/bunker" picture (it's been posted at least twice in this thread), did somebody actually do that or is it a photoshop?
I've been playing Brawl with my Wii Classic Controller from day one and love it that way. But that may be partly due to the fact it was the first Smash game I played avidly.
I feel the same.
If Nintendo doesn't release a GC controller compatible with the Wii U, I'm getting a custom made GC classic controller.

I'd suspect any design changes would be to improve functionality more so than aesthetics. From what I've read and have seen of the controller, its already pretty ergonomically sound, so there might not be a whole lot they can or will change about the looks.

Serious or joking? Not making fun, it's epic either way.
That's the mystery! lol
It is/was a joke pic of gahiggidy's basement from years ago.
Am I ruining the mystery?!
Office space needed for applying? no problem!

We could ask Gahiggidy to put a desk and a printer in his basement before the application is submitted.

I've been sleeping so much today. Dunno why.
Anyway, can we recap -- anything important on Wii U?

Wii U is a machine, that may or may not have a graphics card, RAM and a fan.
I heard it also plays video games, but don't quote me on that.
And by plays, I obviously mean runs.

My sources (who are super duper reliable) said I can't tell you anymore, but to tell you "Cookie Monster and Big Bird say hello, and they hope to see you on Sesame Street soon."
And it blows PS4 'Orbis' out of the water in everyway, amiright?
Yep developers are gonna start making the excuse that it would be an insult to the Wii U hardware to port PS4 games over.
Your vague statements tells me that your source is legit.
Retro Studios aren't working on a new 2D DK or 2D Zelda for Wii U.
I've been playing Smash with a Gamecube controller consistently for over 10 years now. Starting playing competitively in 2008, and I've had to replace them twice due to wear and tear.
I tried playing it with the Classic Controller a couple of times. I don't like the placement of the analog stick (Dualshock style). Too used to gripping my controller N64/GC/360 style.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed, that least in the dev kits, by a confident source that the CPU is 3 core, 2 SMT
So whoever is claiming that likely doesn't have the correct information. Or maybe we don't have the right information.

The rumours have been flying by so furiously that at this point I am starting to suspect that Iwata isn't sure what's going into the thing!

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
What IGN rumors? Have I missed something?
For me, the biggest factor is the button layout. I like the big 'A' button, smaller 'B' button with 'X' and 'Y' sitting above in a bean shape.
What a great goddamn button layout.

"In real terms, the Xbox 720's raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20-percent greater performance than Nintendo's forthcoming console, the Wii U."
Probably that one.
Since moving on to other systems, I've been increasingly annoyed at how much harder it is to remember which button is which when I'm not directly looking at the controller and have to (A) mash some button for a terrible QTE, or (B) learn the control setup of a new game.

It makes so much sense!!! LIKE OMG
I thought as much.
I always loved how the thumb naturally slides from the X, to A and b buttons. Aside from using it for SNES games, I love
