Now that nintendo has given you all the appropriate buttons and clickable analog sticks, and its now just like a PS3 and 360 controller, are you finally convinced to get a WiiU? Or is it still pending E3 conference?

I just need to be assured that the WiiU has a proper online service and can co-exist with the 720 and PS4 without being left in the dust.

other than that ..........................

Going from gimmick to practical is a nice and a much needed move. This doesn't look a failure on the hardware front as much as the 3DS to me at this point. But ultimately it comes down to 1st party exclusives (new exciting IP's as well) and a few 3rd party exclusives , and good online. Hopefully this is just the first step in the right direction towards a Sony-like gaming utopia.

It could have the best controller ever designed, it still needs good games. As of right now I dont want a Wii U.

How far have expectations gotten that you get excited when you find out that a console has analog sticks...

the button placement is still junk. I have no doubt it will be the most uncomfortable controller ever.

I agree it looks awful it actually seems like it might be the first Nintendo system I don't buy.

Did mommy drop you on your head as a child? Some of the stuff you spout just seems a bit, slow. Didn't know the so called "HD Twins" had that many games that were actually in HD.

No reason to get one in a hurry anyway because most of the games coming out are on other consoles like Assassins Creed 3.

It wasn't an expectation, it was a fact: Wii U controller used circle pads. Now they have analogue sticks which is what most people wanted.

No, It will take more than just a redesigned controller to make me buy a WiiU.

I'll wait for E3 to decide if the WiiU is convincing enough.

At this point I have no interest in any next generation consoles whatsoever. Particularly MS or Sony. All I want are games. That's it.

No, it is the size of the controller that is my point. I hated the original Xbox controller it assumed you had the hands of Bach, massive. This one, I am not a fan, at all. There will need to be something very enticing for me to want to get a WiiU. I have stayed away from the Wii and there are 2 games I am dying to play on it, Xenoblade and The Last Story and normally when a console has a game I want to play on it that is when I buy it. PS1 - Final Fantasy VII PS2 - Final Fantasy X PS3 - Final Fantasy XIII Xbox - Knights of the Old Republic Xbox360 - Mass Effect So the fact I have held off buying the Wii with 2 great RPGs on it certainly shows my reluctance to the Wii. If WiiU can play Wii games, then I would consider it, if they upscale.

must have some weak people around here..look at the size of cell phones now days. Kind of silly too if you ask me. The WiiU controller looks pretty cool. Has TONS of features,options,and might change things up for the better. AND also, watch MS and SONY follow suit just like they did this gen.

It hasn't changed my thoughts. I always thought that it had analog sticks and the big reveal is that now the controller is exactly what I always thought it was.

MercenaryMafia
That's precisely where my hangup is. I think the 360 and PS4 will run through the WiiU when they are released. I also think dev support for the 720 and PS4 will be far greater. I wouldn't be surprised to see the WiiU's initial software sales for non Nintendo franchises flop causing a mass exodus of dev support.
