Last I heard they really were planning to let you use the 3DS as a controller. That was back in the "wild speculation" phase though and doesn't jive with Nintendo's goal of making you have to buy redundant crap from them.

It does if you have to buy four of them.

(BTW, the word is "jibe".)

It's not a matter of, "This is an obnoxious thing to do," it's a matter of, "I don't expect people to read what doesn't interest them, let alone discuss at a prompt."

"Especially if it requires me to wait 30 seconds while a goddamn slow-ass plugin loads just to read it."

Yet another advantage Chrome has over Firefox. PDFs load quickly. I'm not sure whether it's native rendering or better interaction with Foxit, but there's very little delay.

THAT CONTROLLER. HOW WILL YOU USE THE STICKS WITHOUT WISHING YOU WERE BORN WITHOUT HANDS?

Smiler · « **Reply #24 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:51:24 AM »

NO SERIOUSLY NINTENDO HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE THE WORST PLACED CONTROL STICKS EVER?

Ziiro · « **Reply #25 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:14:21 AM »

It's a feeling they're familiar with, I'm sure.

NexAdruin · « **Reply #26 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:20:55 AM »

Looks to me like the control sticks are in the same position relative to the other buttons as the control stick on the 3DS. You just don't hold the controller in the middle for whatever reason.

I wonder how much it weighs. Holding a screen from the top is one thing. But doing that for a while? Eugh.

Turns out all of the Wii fitness games and waggling was to strengthen your arms and prepare for WII U.

That controller is the ugliest, most unplayable goddamn thing I have ever seen.

It looks like it was designed by committee: It has everything I WANT, but implemented in an incredibly awkward way.

Ziiro · « **Reply #30 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:37:11 AM »

I'm waiting to see the details of the hardware before passing any judgement. Besides, it still won't be out until next year. They have time to fix the ergonomics of the controller.

I'm still going to call it the Super Wii, but that's just because that would be the best possible thing to call it, not because I dislike the name WiiU.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #32 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:52:41 AM »

So... it's basically the Gamecube/Gameboy Advance Connectivity thing again... except without the need to purchase four Gameboys.

And a touchscreen.

Ziiro · « **Reply #33 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:01:31 AM »

That's a win, in my book. The problem with the system used on Gamecube was the need to purchase the connectivity bullshit as well as four gameboys. My biggest concern now is how they're going to price this out.

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #34 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:17:33 AM »

Judging from the way most of the demos shown in the video had one pad and three remotes, I think they're going to be expecting the one pad that comes with the system to be the standard, with more pads being an increasing extravagance. But that's strictly speculative.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #35 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:21:47 AM »

Why did they not call it the Wii DS. That is what this thing is.

Wouldn't that just make it the Super Super GameCube?

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #37 on:** June 07, 2011, 11:05:55 AM »

That's too many syllables.

Super Duper Gamecube EX Plus Alpha+

Or WiiFat.
