But my TV isn't for watching. My TV is for video games. Why don't you understand this, Xzibit?

Speaking of, the free Four Swords game in the fall for DSi was unexpected.

Now I just have to wait until I know how I feel about a console aimed at people with a family and cable TV and $200 to blow on a controller.

Whaaaa? Is it gonna come to the 3DS too? Since that might be a reason to buy one. XD

I watched the whole Nintendo conference and I saw jackshit on any unreleased Zelda titles. What the hell?

I really liked Four Swords, both the ALttP extra and the GC game but they had a big issue. Not everyone has enough GBAs and ALttP games to play or not enough GBAs and GC-GBA cables :/.

Now, the game'll be free and, all that you need is a DSi? Heck, if that works with the 3DS I'm sold ^_^.

I welcome the return of what the GC-GBA cable started but....seriously, a new controller? The 3DS would've been able to handle that kind of things, right? And you would have 3 SCREENS instead of just two, just sayin' :P

You didn't see flying chocobos and childhood-friend Zelda? That was new. Link actually has a personal reason to give a crap about saving Zelda from the get-go this time. And we got a Holiday 2011 release window.

EDIT: http://e3.nintendo.com/zelda/ Here, have a new trailer with both of those things and new monsters.

Something about this and I'm not sure what, hence why I quoted the whole thing reminds me that WiiU is a terrible name and I hate it.

Edit some more: Oh, look at that, Wii U only supports one touch pad controller at a time, meaning any multiplayer is either sharing the touch pad or using Wii remotes. So there goes any hope of new Four Swords type multiplayer games. But at least it all looks as pretty as the PS3 and Xbox now, that's what's really important.

Also, no Pandora's Tower or Last Story or Xenoblade outside of Japan. Awesome.

Keep on editing: Ha ha, I'm the maddest boy in the thread when it comes to the toys I actually want to play.

Well, "Wee" and "Pee" are normally interchangeable.

Anywho, I'm thinking the Wee Woo's controller is gonna be hella expensive, what with the entire bit for the new console waving the damn thing in our faces, and the actual console in question as an object in the background that you probably didn't notice.

It's like the 360 and Wii had a little baby.

Honestly even though a lot of my friends are gushing over the Wii U my big beef with it is, if I already own a PS3, why exactly would I want to purchase the Wii U? It sounds like most of its major third-party titles will simply be ports originally designed for the X360 and the PS3. Sure, I imagine the Wii U will eventually get its Smash and Zelda titles, but I don't understand how that really makes Nintendo any more competitive because it's still appealing to that same group of loyal Zelda / Metroid / Mario gamers and it's not really expanding to compete with Microsoft or Sony.

I think the biggest way this is going to backfire on Nintendo is when Microsoft and Sony undoubtedly push out the X720 and the PS4. I imagine that'll happen only a couple short years after Nintendo's Wii U release and it'll be the same mess as the Wii all over again for Nintendo -- the third party developers will migrate up to the X720 and the PS4, develop games for those, and Nintendo will be cut off.

Also what is up with Nintendo and their horrible naming conventions. At least Sony just named their new one Vida.

Mario and Zelda.

This will happen before those consoles are released, actually, since all the third party support seems to be ports of games that will be a year old or older by the time the WiiU is available. The people who want those games will have already played and beat them.

They have to keep selling Wii Remotes until the WiiU's successor comes around, since those are the only input for other players, so it makes sense to keep "Wii" in the name. Doesn't make "WiiU" any less awful, but that's just how it has to be.

Also, "Vita," like the hammer-knight.

And I'm still gonna buy this thing, probably, if it costs less than a used car.

Can we just call it the Wuu?
