Wii U
mariocaseman:
Ok, so who watched E3? What does everyone think of Nintendo's new system, the Wii U? It looks cool to me... The controller looks a little big though..
Arseen:
The name is Wii U?
Wii uu, wii uu, wii uu, the ambulance is coming to pick Nintendo designers to looney bin. ;D
EDIT:
Stupid name aside, after watching the two videos here, I'm so going to get the console:

Hope it comes in black too from the get go.
EDIT2:
Maybe they will drag Zelda Skyward Swords reale back so it will be released with the Wii U.
1080P Zelda, where you play with old Wii controller, OR BETTER YET GAMECUBE CONTROLLER, and use the new controller as map and quick menu for items, and as secret finder, maybe as camera....
Droolz....
But hopefully no stupid gimmicks like the star throwing in the demo video.

i am excited for the wii u but disapointed they didnt really give any info about the system itself. great ill be able to buy hard core games on it that com eout this year on ps3/360 but, what are the system specs , hard drive? will it finally have an acceptible online feature ? im really excited for the 3ds games even though most are remakes , and know i will buy wii u on launch day but wish they gave out more info
mariocaseman:
I wonder if the Wii U will be backwards compatible with GameCube games? They said it will be backwards compatible with Wii, but they did not mention GameCube :(

I'm really hoping for Gamecube compatibility. While I never bought a Wii, that was a HUGE selling point to have all the controller/memory card ports available, especially when it gave the ability to use Gamecube controllers in Wii games. Even if I'm required to buy an attachment that enables GC controller use, I will be happy. I know that GC hardware isn't exactly common anymore (shame, I still need 3 wavebird controllers...).
