My opinion changed to "probably not." Why?

How did they manage to be stupid enough to start with a good design, but them end up making it worse? This has to be a first.

I don't see much of a difference, really. I'll get used to it regardless.

The old one had analog sticks, grips on the sides, and the buttons and D-Pad in more usable positions. The one from E3 is worse in every way.

People are starting to talk about the Wii U. I mean, normal people that normally don't know what the intercourse  is going on in the industry.

The tablet makes them think "omg futuristic".

I wouldn't be surprised if people really like the darn thing.

I can see the tablet/DS Stylus type of thing working better in games than the Wiimote ever did, at least in conceptual design of games. Traditional controls for us who like them with a touch screen/tablet to shake things up a bit or just be a general use map/item thing like the DS used at points.

Yeah, here's hoping it changes a bit again before E3. I know the Wii remote changed a bit after the TGS it was revealed. Okay maybe I'm delusional.

You're not delusional. The Wii Remote did change compared to the Revmote.

The GameCube controller went through several prototype designs as well. I expect both the console and the controller to look slightly different at E3 this year.

Also, for the record, I still trust the E3 impressions saying that it was comfortable.

 I agree that there isn't enough known about the console yet. Aside from that fact, I think it'll do okay. As far as I can tell, it probably won't be a flop at least.
I dunno hao 2 put imgs heer :(

I miss the time where you could just hold a thing with buttons to play a console game. No arm-swinging motion controls or looking at a second screen in your lap every now and then.

Those were simpler days.
I really hate how I've made more than 12,000 posts here. Thankfully this swaying, moving Chandelure makes it all worth it.

You should have bought more GameCubes, then. :p I guess you're not looking forward to this.

I've heard multiple devs praising the WiiU like mad. I don't have any specific quotes, but so far it's been very well-liked.

I'll definitely get a Wii U (eventually), but I still hold my Gamecube near and dear to my heart.

I still need to know how they plan to appeal to core gamers this time around.

Smash Bros using a tablet is going to suck dick

We just need a Gamecube controller made specifically for the Wii U
I think they did that for Wii, but it wasn't really pushed
YEAH
