Thoroughly Impressed.

Nintendoland actually looks like it has deep mini games. That's cool.

 

Bayonetta 2. Bayonetta 2.

 

Nintendo TV looks extremely dope for Sports and it's free.

 

I shall get the $350 edition.

I really really like the Nintendo TVii feature, the fact that you can have all that on the gamepad and its free pimp.gif
Since I saw them streaming Black Ops 2 on the gamepad I hope that you can do it for online multiplayer also, but having killstreaks and different loadouts on the touchscreen is awesome.

Hopefully we get more solid info on the launch titles but so far looks like i'll be getting the system and Black Ops 2, Mario, and Pikmin.

I'm sorry H.I., but this is "Serious Business" ,(as they say on the net), for me.
It amazes me how you have forums on forums full of fans telling you what they want yet you put out this nonsense.

i'll get it when its at a much lower price...This is something that they should have released in 2006. Not in 2012, when microsoft and sony are going "next generation" soon.

i mean a 32gb for $350 in this generation of gaming? roll.gif they're out of their mind

Huh? You're not paying $350 just for extra storage. For all the stuff you're getting $350 is dirt cheap. Not sure if you saw the conference but they gave out all the information. 

 

Nintendo Premium is DOPE. You can actually buy games with the points you accumulate. 
 

 

This looks like the best 2D Mario game since Super Mario World 2.

I'm no gamer, but if you would have told me that the game in that video ^^ was from the Super Nintendo console, I would have believed you LOL for some reason all Mario games look the same in terms of graphics.

Idk about all this.

The games are dated....the graphics are now ps3 xbox360 graphics....WiiTVii does what exactly? Lets you set up Mii's with favorites? and use an ondemand service if you have it? Well conveniently enough i have comcast and hbo on demand and can watch what i want when i want anyway and i also own an ipad so if i want to be social while i watch tv (which i never do...unless i have my fantasy football leagues up while i watch the skins play). But i am not seeing what this does for you if you have a tablet and some sort of DVR.

$300 for that...or $350....il pass

I'm curious how the controller handles and plays, it'll be like playing a Sega Game Gear as a controller, maybe even bigger.

I think the graphics being on par with PS3/360 is a good update. I mean those graphics are really good and I think PC games are the only ones that trumps that. Sure the next gen XBox/PS will have better graphics but to have a Nintendo that plays 720p/1080p is a great thing. Zelda in HD!

As for the tablet vent, well not everyone has a tablet like you and most kids certainly don't. This will give kids that opportunity and bundled with a game. Also, just because you don't use your tablet so socialize doesn't mean others wouldn't either.

Nintendos main market has been kids and familiies but with the update to HD and hopefully more 3rd party games, they hope to capture some serious gamers too.

I think you are pointing out the reasons this system isn't for you and it's perfectly fine but I personally think the system is an improvement and the price seems reasonable. I was expecting the base model to be $250 as reported a weeks back but $300 & $350 isn't too bad since you are getting a tablet-like system with it and actually plays HD.

I hear you man and i definitely think you are right this plays along with nintendo's family mantra.

Is there any word about if it can actually support more then one Tablet Controller thing?
Also are they going to make wii based games for it? ie; you can still play with the wii mote and have updated graphics games? Because tiger woods on wii is tons of fun....so was wii sports.
Is it backwards compatible even?

I'd like to know this as well. I think I remember in E3 that only one can use the tablet (maybe 2 max?) but I think Nintendo will lose out on making extra money by limiting the use of the tabletroller to one per system.

I also think it is backwards compatible since the nun-chuck controller is compatible as well.

At the previous E3 they said that it will support 2 tablets but I think it hinders the fps.
The games and controllers are backwards compatible so i'm sure they'll have some sort of Wii sports like game, I couldn't see myself swinging around the tablet as a golf club laugh.gif

This should make more sense of it.

yea its two max, but if you add a second tablet the FPS will drop by half. Nintendo could have solved this by now.

I was able to play a few games on the Wii U at E3, and it's definitely bigger than a Game Gear. I would say it's more like those touch screen remotes that controls the whole house. It's not too big, and it was comfortable to hold. The screen was nice and clean too. There was no lag either between the action on the TV and that on the handheld.
