Now this is something I had realised when engadget posted the Wii U pictures. I asked my self why they never took a picture of the back but from every other side numerous times and Eurogamer has confirmed that Nintendo is not allowing press to take pictures of the ports at the back for some weird unknown reason.

Go Nintendo specualtes Nintendo's back panel I/O is not the same in the final version. I agree and wish to see optical audio out!

Optical isn't really a major deal unless you planned on running the audio from the Wii U to a surround sound system. The sound quality out of the HDMI is almost as good as Optical anyways.

Unless you have an external sound card for use with a gaming headset which is a very enthusiast thing to do especially with FPS games like call of duty. That's why I want optical, so that I can use my gaming headsets with it. Otherwise I'll either stick with stereo or buy some converter to extract the audio from HDMI and turn into optical.Optical isn't really a major deal unless you planned on running the audio from the Wii U to a surround sound system.

Maybe they still have something up their sleeve. I doubt it, but it is always a possibility.
Never under estimate Nintendo! lol

Okay, if you said they couldn't show the back of the Premium Wii U. what about the Basic white Wii U?
I don't recall seeing pictures of the back of the Wii U in general....hmm...

I assume you mean Stereo out of HDMI is almost as good as real surround over optical?
Seeing as surround out of HDMI is superior to surround out of optical, because its completely uncompressed PCM.

Maybe they have 2 USB 3.0 slots in the back and don't want anybody to know for some weird reason ?

Those picture look sleek!!!1 But that is strange about the back, I hope Nintendo does it add an optical port (with at least one usb 3.0 for my harddrive) for the system.

It's a portal to the real Nintendo Land where Reggie will direct you through the park and before you go on a ride he will ask you, is your body ready?

Hmm maybe there's some importance behind it but I'm starting to think Nintendo likes to keep things secret jsut for the heck of it...
"So if Zero Suit Samus is fanbait for guys, where is the fanbait for girls? Why isn’t Captain Falcon wearing a thong or sporting a chest twice the size of his last model? Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.
That, my friends, is why the design is sexist."~Angelo M. D'Argenio-4/17/2014

Maybe they just want something else to reveal before launch.

Maybe it's the same as the dev kits, and Nintendo just wants to give everyone more reason to jump on Logi's hype train.

I like the portal idea. It's a magical portal guys. This information is true until debunked.
