We don't even know what online will look like when wii u comes out, Nintendo should really consider getting an outside partner to help them with this. My dream scenario is that i can buy all my games online and download everything. Never having to mess with optical media ever. Basically steam is doing it right, license a version of steam!

He talked just before E3 about how the Wii U had to have the same big titles as Xbox and PS. But thats what I like about the Wii, not every game is about violence and action, and yet it kicks .
@skogur Nintendo is chickening out because of the absurd current Swedish legal situation: Any depiction of underage people in suggestive situations is illegal in Sweden, and obviously Nintendo wants to keep as far away from that potential trouble as possible.
Come to think of it: it's illegal to draw a picture of someone under 18 having sex and show that picture to a friend. But the age of consent in Sweden is 15. Lolwut?!
Be prepared to lose the "not deep enough gameplay" sneers as more established gaming companies make the jump to iOS. For everything else I agree, fox news, say no more!
I hope the name means that I can buy full games online and stream them to the console. I am a bit worried about the controller, they are not giving up on the genius design of the wiimote?
Aw come on, do we have to keep optical media around? Im boycotting blue ray for everything. I just want everything to be streamed. I want to buy all my games online.
Also please no screens on the controller, keep it minimal!
I would appreciate information on 60hz or 50hz for all reviewed vc titles. The idea that I would part with money for ugly missing scanlines etc is just too absurd.
Sorry to bring uncomfortable news, but SquareEnix have plenty of their new and old titles on Apple AppStore, is Final Fantasy deep enough for you people? Interestingly they are not priced like the typical AppStore game but a bit higher.
I would love to play Pokemon and some other Nintendo-specific titles, but I already own enough handheld devices and can't justify buying another just for a few game titles. When my kids grow up I will probably get them something that can work as a phone as well.
Hard to see anything good rising from these ashes.
@11, if you have an iDevice you are set today!

The graphics in the trailer look very nice I must say. But seeing the hilarious little rabbids in action makes me want to arrange SlapstickIn3dAnimationCon, attract as many would-be 3d-physical-humor-comedians as possible, then tactically nuke the place on the first day. Enough already!
The whole vc release schedule baffles me, as well as the 50hz issues. I don't understand why I'm not instantly having access to the entire catalog of vc titles right now.
The idea that I should pay extra for All Stars, and get it on a disc instead of from the download service where I wanted it, and also get a gimped down version, is more than I can wrap my head around.
I have money Nintendo, I want to give it to you. What seems to be the problem?

Re: Talking Point: What You Want in a New Nintendo Home Console
A 'panic' button so when the boss walks in you can press it and Microsoft Excel shows on the tv instead of the game.
Oh and no optical, and when people mean 'better online' i think that means basically copy Steam from start to finish. They got it right.
