I don't know what to make of that to be honest... it does look awesome. But I was so confused as to whether the Wii-U was a console or a controller until the EA guy mentioned the HD graphics and stuff. Some crazy shit happened!

I also want a 3DS very badly... I may have to reconsider asking for a new Computer for Christmas and get one of those instead. Choices choices... Watching E3 always makes me really envious of rich people, I want it all! :p

Most. Confusing. E3. Presentation. Ever.

Even the Kotaku guys are confused as hell.

Really? From what I saw it's a game with stupid characters, retarded jokes and humor and the worst voice acting I've heard in a long long time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is dazed after that.

BTW: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/t...-next-console/

I like how the first person on stage to refer to it as a console was the EA guy.

The fuck is a Wii U?

And also announce that it featured High-Definition graphics... shouldn't that sort of information actually be told my Nintendo themselves?

Swiss army controller and its hardware peripheral.

"Wii U"

Milking the social aspect as much as possible, I see.

Well, looks like I'm just gonna have to buy both the PSVita and 3DS. Wanna play that Luigi's Mansion 2.

Luigi's Mansion 2 pretty much just sold the 3DS for me.

Luigi's Mansion 2... almost forgot about that. That makes me SO excited! I need a 3DS for that :D and the new Smash Bros... and and and

I don't know what to buy, a 3DS, a Kinect (Yes, I'm interested in it now. D: ) or a PS Vita.

I'm not going to buy a Wii U or a PS3, Xbox is my main console and I plan on staying as a one-console-man.

I'm selling my DS lite. I need a 3DS!

Holy shit, Luigi's Mansion 2? Damn. I wanna play that.

Wii U looks shit.

Where does it look shit?

Ugh what is it trying to be? Next-gen PSPDSWiipadHD is what!

It looks.. odd. Not sure if I dig the controller. I mean, why have a screen on there if you have a TV? Seems pointless.

Looks like someone cross-bred a GBA and a Wii Balance Board.

I trust Nintendo, I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on it.

Oh, I do, too. They're probably the most reliable gaming company these days. I guess "innovative" is the proper noun here.

I'm genuinely interested to see what exactly Halo 4 is about. It looks neat, but it'll probably be MECHA GRAVEMIND or some shit.

Halo HD looks laughable. Don't get me wrong, I love the first Halo to death, it's just that transition from the original version to the remake made chief look dorky. I should watch that trailer again.

Wii U? Ehhhhh. Okay. Since it has the Wii library and all. I remember being fucking NUTS about the DS and the Wii back when they were announced in their respective years, but not so much this time. I'm most interested in the Vita. I'd like to see what they do with it.

Is the Wii U gonna be like the first 8th generation game system or something? Or is it a 4th 7th gen console? I'm confused about that.

Wii U looks to have a ton of 360/PS3 ports as its main attraction.

Why would anyone who owns a 360 or PS3 want to buy the Wii U? It really seems Nintendo is just trying to play catchup with this, and not thinking very far ahead, especially since they will likely be in a similar situation to what they have been, when the PS4/Nextbox come out. A non-multitouch tablet that is about as powerful as 360/PS3 doesn't sound too exciting.

This will not work for FPS

I have to agree, I mean, Kinect works. It's literally quite amazing. The Wii U is like the unnecessary halfway point between Wii/Move and Kinect.

And I read on IGN that there's a nunchuk-like peripheral that is held up and aimed at the little screen on the main Wii U controller in order to aim on the system itself or something. What the shit is that?

I dont even know what that second paragraph is trying to explain. Though the ME3/Ghost Recon Kinect features definitely looked cool as hell, and they look to be fixing the space problem with some lens add-ons. I think MS went in the right direction, though Im still mad at them for almost completely forgetting the 40 something million 360 owners without Kinect.

It's a shame Nintendo doesn't see what's happening here. The Wii was a product that in no-way on par with it's same gen competitors, the only think that it had an edge on was the new motion tech. Only to have that 'borrowed' from them, improved upon and released on both other consoles, making the Wii almost absolute if it weren't for the exclusive titles.

The same is going to happen here. Once again Nintendo feels the need to pioneer in everything. They come out with a new concept. Competition looks at it, waits out it's flaws and a couple of months later come up with their own version, leaving Nintendo to bite the dust. I'm not going anywhere near the Wii U, that's for sure. That controller looks horrible.

A couple of months?

Surely you mean three or so years, by which time the wii has made a huge profit.

NEITHER DO I!

So the Wii U's 3rd party footage is all from 360/PS3 trailers. Way to go Nintendo.

Square Enix have said that there will be no Kingdom Hearts news at E3 despite saying there would be on their website. We have to wait until the Tokyo Game Show.

Trying to say that the Wii U can produce them graphics for them games?

And I knew people would hate on the Wii U but I can see why, I don't wanna get into a console war again because I would happly get a Xbox and PS3 if i had enough room and money.

Nintendo wants to attract more of a hardcore audience such as the Xbox and PS3 players.
Its more like a Next-Gen Wii HD with better third party support. In no way its a PSP but i guess its like a DS.

I understood that comment to mean that they were taken from the 360/PS3 trailers and didn't say a fucking thing about the Wii U.

Ninja Gaiden 3, fuck yes. Nothing like killing giant, ridiculously hard bosses!

Still alarmed at lack of Half Life Ep 3. Wat u at valve, making another Left 4 Dead DLC? Get off your fucking hole and make a real game.

Also, anyone else notice the Halo: CE remake has the same animations as Reach with reskinned enemies? I loved how the swamp level looked, I'm looking forward to it more than Halo 4. It was a trilogy, keep it that way.

Call of Duty didn't impress me, as always.

I wanted to see more of Mass Effect 3, though. Oh, and that zombie tropical island thing looked sweet.

I agree. It's clear they borrowed that idea from the PSP-PS3 and the iPad, but it doesn't look remotely comfortable to hold at all. How are people supposed to play Call of Duty or Mario Galaxy 3 on that monstrosity?

Ok I'm not going to lie, as watched the Wii U trailer I went from hating it to being intrigued in what they will do. If you watch it's actually an interesting platform. But I did laugh at 1:25 when it said get new views and it showed her looking down at a gold ball in the dirt. GRREEEAATTT!



Oh and lets not forget the Zelda HD trailer that they added in as well.

So for me, the two things I will take away from E3 is what the Wii U becomes and of course, Tomb Raider!

Tomb Raider looks brilliant, I was well impressed :D

The same here, the graphics are absolutely stunning and having a gander at a younger Lara - how she became what she is today - will provide a much needed background. The only thing that threw me is how did she get her hands on an iPhone when - if this is a back story - it should take place before 1998?
