I like their Xbox 360 looking controller. If I buy one I would definitely be using that more than that weird tablet thing. |

So far im happy with the design choices they have made. The analog sticks look great and they CLICK which is awesome. Also the new "PRO" controller will be sweet for the new Super Smash Bros. and some third party games like Call of Duty. I don't expect much from their online, what they showed was cool but i still don't see it being as intuitive as Xbox Live. |

The pro controller looks nice, analog sticks are awesome, Wii u controller as a remote will be awesome. The mii universe looks nice, I hope it's supported. |

Is Japan's Aprils Fools on a different day? Or is this something lost in cultural translation? Cos this has gotta be an elaborate joke. Right? Be interesting to see how they navigated the patent infringement minefield on this one. The best part? Nintendo fanboys praising their innovation. Always ahead of the competition!

Handheld Games Are Great
|
Everything looked great. Except for that "Game Video" it was just hilarious. It did get it's point across though so I guess it was fine. The tablet is fine I will use it though I am glad they have the "pro" controller some games are just better that way. It also means that not all of their games will be focused on the tablet which is good. The miiverse looked great IMO I am sure It will be fine, if it is at least as good as the system on the 3ds I will be fine with it but I am sure it will be better. All in all the Wii U looks pretty good. Much better than the wii in anycase which I did enjoy to some degree.

Now, I didn't see the conference itself so I won't comment on the things I didn't see, but in all reality the pro controller looks alright. I mean, really it's an xBox 360 controller with the right analog and face buttons switched. If anything it's more like a sleeker OnLive controller. Can't wait to see Nintendo's full conference on Tuesday. |

Im not a massive Nintendo fan as some of you may know, but i quite enjoyed the Direct Pre-E3 show. I fell asleep towards the end so i think i missed some stuff, hangovers are great huh? ![]() Anyways, i was blown away at how similar that contoller is to the 360. Controllers get copied and ripped off all the time, sony ripped off the SNES controller, microsoft ripped off the dreamcast controller...so in the end im not all that fussed about Nintendo completing the cycle by ripping off microsoft. The 360 pad is currently the best on any of the consoles so i see why they did it. I just hope the D-pad is up to scratch though, the d-pad's on the other consoles at the moment are just awful in my opinion. I cant seem to find it, but i remember seeing a mock make up of the wii u controller and it was just a 360 pad with a screen in the middle...funny how things turn out haha. (Edit: Just realised MS pretty much copied the stick/button placement of the Camecube contoller to some extent...weird.) Being able to carry on your games without the TV being switched on is a fantastic idea, something i think we were all hoping the VITA would do in some repects. Though its something i doubt i'd use that often, its great for kids that want to carry on gaming when thier parents want to watch tv...or vise versa. How that would work when its a game that utilized the 2 screens with different images i dont know but i guess we will see in time. I was kinda hoping here would be some 3DS interactivity or at least some adapter coming out further down the line. Being able to play GB games on the snes and GBA games on GC has always been an amazing concept. I think that social interaction is quite amazing too. The message board style thing isnt that spectacular, but docking the controller and sitting down to have a video call with friends and family is a really nice touch. I really liked the idea of posting for hints and assistance rather than just looking up an FAQ online. It will be great for new titles and i think it will really add a sense of community to the Wii U gamers. Im actually quite impressed by the console from what i've seen. I dont wanna jump on the bandwagons of hating it or praising it as the 2nd coming of christ and start riding nintendo's balls but...im impressed, and im looking forward to more information. In the end though, the console is only as good as its games and how well the games utilize these functions. Kinnect looked really impressive until we saw the games for it, Wii seemed amazing until we all decided we would rather have a normal controller etc etc. I dont say many nice things about nintendo but...im excited.

I am not happy with the placement of the second analog stick. Will be a while to get used to it seeing how I have been playing games with the analog stick at the bottom for the last 15 years... |

Yeah, then you actually get the thing in your house and realize that its the exact same controller except with a screen. |
