E3 2011

[dsheinem]

so it's a big handheld? An ipad with less functionality but better controls and better games?

I thought they were working on a new console?

I see no disc drive or cart/card slot...

I can't imagine there's very good battery life on something like this...

They're demo-ing games on the live stream on Nintendo.com. Can anyone tell if that's a Wii by the TV or if it's the new console?

[AppleQueso]

that is still a monster of a controller

Xbox controller? Atari Jaguar? Step the fuck aside

this is the new king of HUGE CONTROLLERS.

@dsheinem: it's a new console, with a crazy huge controller that has its own screen that comes with it. They're basically putting the DS concept into a home console.

Best conference ever. For any company. This is just incredible.

are you serious?

I hope not, lol. This is the worst E3 I've ever seen. I think even Microsoft did better this year. Wii U is complete and utter shit. it was supposed to be more powerful than 360 and PS3 combined... well it still just looks like high res gamecube graphics. and where the fuck is the actual console, I want to see pics and specs of the hardware.

Yeah, though it may just be a redesigned Wii based on Kotaku's cryptic remark: http://kotaku.com/5809482/the-is-the-fi ... -the-wii-u

Soooo.....

No Dreamcast 2 announcement yet?

Any Keith Apicary sitings?

[AppleQueso]

It's apparently a tad more powerful than the PS3, from what I've heard. I don't think we've been shown much of anything to really give us a glimpse of what it can really do.

Were there any announcements on new Wii games (not Wii U)?

[NeverGoBak]

Guys, they clearly said it's a new console, they're just putting a lot of focus on the controller. It's the most out there feature of the system. Remember ROB? They never focused on the console in those commercials either, though for a much more justifiable reason.

Also, 3DS is suddenly a must-have, can't believe I even considered the PSV being better.

Didn't you see that game with the bird? Graphics seem to have plenty of power. Besides, you can't argue with handheld Smash Bros. and Mario with Tanooki Suits and Music Boxes. The other sites I'm talking about this on, and my IRL friends are all pumped. I think it's just you guys who aren't.


EDIT: In all seriousness, a handful of the confirmed 3DS games can probably beat out Sony and Microsoft combined this year(In my mind), doesn't even matter what you think of Wii-U.
