I went to best buy today and had some time with the wii u, and I must say that I'm very impressed. The Gamepad is surprisingly light and comfortable, the touch screen is very fast and responsive, the resolution of the screen is pure HD, just beautiful. The buttons are smooth to press, the motion control embedded in the controller is really responsive, kinda sensitive but not a big deal. They only had Rayman Legend demo playable...and it was awesome! The controls are great, the animation is very slick, looks great in HD and just pure fun, a rarity in today's gaming. Bottom line...The Wii U is a force to be reckon with.

Agreed 100%! I played at the GameStop demo kiosk, and I was too extremely impressed. I'm glad Nintendo finally noticed graphics have an impact on the gameplay. Although they are not everything, it's a very nice addition. I was very surprised at how fast the touchscreen and the tv synced. It was impressive how video was sent wirelessly so fast. Can't wait to get mine!

Are you referring to the gamepad's screen? That's not HD.

Yeah, I was just about to ask this. The only thing that is in HD is the TV, the Gamepad has no ability to go beyond 480p, if that.

It's very tricky to the eye when you first see it, I should have said it looks like it's pure HD.

Eh idk about that, my Vita's screen looks much better.

I liked the Wii U demo station experience, not that big of a fan of Rayman though. But getting to hold and see the GamePad was awesome.

I think bestbuy cleaned the screen up real nice then.

Yeah, actually getting to hold it and see it was awesome, it just feels right.

and the demo tv is so bad you cqn't tell.

and the demo tv is so bad you cqn't tell.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that, I tried it in target an I thought the tv sucked, almost grainy like quality. Can't wait to test it on my tv.

The Gamepad doesn't need to be in HD and comparing to an actual handheld system like the Vita is apples to oranges.

The Gamepad doesn't need to be in HD and comparing to an actual handheld system like the Vita is apples to oranges.

The OP brought up HD not me. They're both handheld devices, sure the gamepad isn't a handheld system per se but it's the selling point of the Wii U so I think it's fair to compare it to other screens on handheld devices.

I was responding to the OP's claim that the screen looks like it is "pure HD", a claim that I don't think someone who has used many handheld devices, such as the Vita, would make.

Your right, I haven't used a handheld device such as the Vita, but like I should've said, "looks like pure HD", from MY experience and mine only.

I just got to try out the Wii U today and with 'dat screen', I beg to differ.

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

I still havn't tried the Wii U, but my spider sense tells me that it's awesome.
