Like what? The old xbox megasaurus controller was the biggest and ugliest controller ever when it came out.

The image there makes it seem much smaller than what it is. Pull out a ruler and measuer 27cm - It's absurd how big it is.

Edit: I'm also curious as to how they're going to approach online functionality. If they're as stubborn about it as they've been in the past.

Because I personally think the PS3 is better.

Positive impressions of the controller.

It's been confirmed Nintendo is ditching the friend code system.

There's still a whole year for Nintendo to tweak and perfect things. mini/smile

Edit: I just realized something amazing. Imagine a Fallout game on the WiiU... The controller is your Pipboy. mini/eek

HECK. YES.

They won't be able to make any significant changes from now until release, and they definitely won't 6 months out from release, unless they wanted to piss off and screw the developers working on launch titles.

Okay, yeah that would be cool. Though considering how they approached the PS3, I wouldn't be so sure. The audience the Wii U is going after isn't really the same audience that is into Fallout and the Elder Scrolls, and the Wii U won't have the kind of user base the 360 and PS3 have, and even in two or three years, the PS3 and 360 will still have way more users at about 50 and 55 million each respectively. They were reluctant to go onto the PS3 because they knew it wouldn't attract the same kind of sales that it would get on the 360 and PC.

And I thought it was interesting that Nintendo's share price has dropped significantly (the lowest in several years) since the announcement of the Wii U. To be honest, that seems a little concerning since there were significant boosts when the 3DS and Wii were announced. Their stock also plummeted when they announced the extremely poor 3DS sales. Hopefully they ignore all that, since it seems like Nintendo's main focus for the last few years has been making sure their investors are as happy as possible.

I want this Wii U. And I want it now. I also want that PSVita thing, it looks pretty cool.

I wasn't talking about major interior changes, mostly just software. If the Wii U is going to have more games like Killer Freaks from Outerspace coming, it could have a chance of attracting more mature gamers to the platform. Wii had a small handful of that type of mature games, like Madworld and Manhunt 2, but it just wasn't enough. We'll just have to wait and see.

Speaking of mature games, I hope Rockstar Games gets on board with the Wii U. They probably will eventually. Now that the Wii U is capable of even more things graphically, maybe they'll start doing multi-platform games again. Their last games that were on all 3 consoles was Bully: Scholarship Edition and Manhunt 2, and those were some of their first 'next-generation' games.

It's all a matter if developers are going to be willing to put time into developing for the Wii U. Developers are either going to have to stop being lazy, or hire studios to handle Wii U versions of their games.

I'm just waiting to see how Microsoft does in copying Nintendo this time. Sony is probably gonna do more stuff with PSVita/PS3 connectivity, but I doubt it'd be as practical as the Wii U, obviously. Sony tried that before with the regular PSP, and it didn't work out too well.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

One big thing I'm hoping Nintendo will fix is their online system. Their current online system is quite sucky. Even playing Mario Kart online (which is the best online for Wii I've played) can be annoying at times. I hope they will encorporate major changes to their network. I would play my Wii more often, but I PC game more often, mainly because PC online gaming kicks everyone else's ass, (I mean, the internet was made for computers, so gaming online should be easiest with PC). Also, minecraft isn't for the Wii.

Been pretty productive in the game Garry's Mod lately. After a good amount of weeks with Minecraft, it feels good to get back and building.

Finally made a proper car. I coded some E2 and mounted a hydralic system (with a weight of 100 so the hydralics are stiff) and got it controlled with WASD. It's pretty neat.
