 @Killer6b9 You just summed up the way I have felt for the last six months!

 @superkadeemxnon-HARDCORE as hell!!!

 @Tripwolf If Nintendo isn't your thing it isn't your thing, but a joke?  Every other first, second and third party developer wishes they could craft games like Nintendo does.  How many other Devs put out games on a consistent level that break the 10 million mark?  This gen Nintndo has put out over 5 games, off the top of my head, that have broke that number.  Wii Sports by itself has sold more than the entire Halo franchise.  I am not saying it is better than Halo, just showing a certain point of view from a sales based industry.

 @Tripwolf 

Nah, the only jokes are those who trash a system and company before even giving them a chance to do what they do best. 

 @thereal-15-cent "I couldn't even tell if it just an accssory for the Wii or a whole new system."

I've never face palmed so hard.

 @Mr_Bodywave The comment you just stated is invalid, how many Nintendo DS dual screens have been sold? Way more then the other companies combined, just in case you don't know this....there has been almost 175million dual screen systems sold, which require you to look at 2 screens. Here is just one website that shows these sales...

So I do not think that having a 2nd screen will hinder your game play unless the person playing is incompitent of doing so. You also better bet your bottom dollar that Sony and Microsoft will follow suit with this....mark my words. They copy everything else.

Now do not get me wrong I loved my beloved 360....all 4 of them....damn RRD...and still enjoy my PS3...both of them....and still a few of the older systems that I decided to hold onto, but to have a closed mind about 2 screens when it is already a proven victory is just ludicrous.

 @Mr_Bodywave 

I don't see how interacting differently with games is such a bad idea. So what if someone is only looking at the GamePad, if that's their role then that's fine as long as it adds to the overall gameplay experience, like with Rayman Legends and New Super Mario Bros U. 

I don't think intense games like Bayonetta or Aliens will use the dual screens much outside of maybe a map or inventory, but slower paced games like ZombiU and Monster Hunter would work just fine.

 @saltbalsak 

Why would you want to play Wii bowling with an iPad? That doesn't make any sense.

 @robertico7 Lets just hope they don't screw it up... I'm already expecting an excessive amount of DLC.

 @okassar I agree with the naming of this 'second iteration'; very confusing indeed. It was confusing to gamers for a while...... it's going to be interesting to see how this goes.

 @nintendoboy16 

That's actually a terrible commercial and doesn't show hardly any gameplay. I wish Nintendo would do some decent marketing.

 @alkaline_DnB I hope you did not mean that like it was a good thing.

 @Strider8009 The one with the baby?

 @UnwantedSpam 

But Unwanted Spam, those who would care about ACIII or ZombiU probably are already aware of these games and know what the Wii U is, at least in the US so there really isn't a need to advertise to them. 

The UK ad was better but they're just starting with advertisements, we'll probably see some geared more towards "hardcore" gamers later on.

 @Suikogaiden 

Your comment doesn't make any sense. Nintendo brought the industry back from a total collapse and dominated the industry through the 80's and early 90's. Their only commercial console failure was the Virtual Boy. Their last console, the Wii, a console that many predicted to fail, was WILDLY successful. While Sony and MS were losing boatloads of money on hardware, Nintendo was outselling both of them combined.

If you ask me, it's pretty "childish" (bad business practice) to react to a changing market like the video game industry by giving people more of the same thing: better graphics, more storage, more of the same games. Sure, that stuff is great to have and will satiate gamers initially, but where do you seriously expect your customers to be a decade from now when you haven't given them anything truly different to experience? Nintendo seems to be the only "adult" here who can figure out that long-term success has more to do with gameplay than console specs, and that hardware without *compelling* software is pointless. Sony and Microsoft think that powerful hardware makes software compelling. I think that's extremely short-sighted.

I always get excited about new hardware, but I rarely get excited about new consoles anymore because they're all pretty much the same thing anyway. Nintendo usually excites me because I see them trying to challenge the current standard and I see the potential their ideas usually have. I think the Wii U will attract industry vets and challenge them to be more creative with new styles of gameplay.

 @Suikogaiden 

Child of the gaming industry? Ahh, you must mean how they want to please everyone, are open to explore different ideas, follows their own rules, and are not boggled down by the "standards" of the industry.
