#130194 The Wii U should have some kind of 3DS player

Of course, don't forget that this peripheral, if it ever comes out, would likely not be out for at least a year and a half, by which point the 3DS will have been out for more than 3 years. Someone who hasn't bought a 3DS at that point certainly isn't going to buy one now, but if they buy a 3DS Player for Wii U, Nintendo might actually have found an additional market!

In Canada, fines are anywhere from $15,000 for a single title to $140,000 for multiple offenses if I remember correctly. This applies to movies, games, hardware, etc.
A lot of smaller stores sell games and hardware before street date because this is the only way they can make money. A mom n pop games store might sell 500 copies of Halo 4 two days before launch because once it comes out, everyone will go to EBgames / Wal-Mart / wherever they buy games to get it.

The only market I can see for this is the crowd that wants to play GameCube games because they can't do that on their Wii U. Of course, that is a feature that Nintendo could take out of the Wii Mini or whatever it's called.
Given that the console hasn't been announced and the Wii U hasn't been out for more than a few weeks, we just don't see this happening. Then again, more bizarre things have happened before.

This will probably be the Wii's last remodel ( excluding color variants and bundles), considering they've cut pretty much every corner they can. The only thoughts I could imagine for another remodel would be to make the console memory smaller, which sounds possible. But not for an entire new remodel, maybe in the really late days of the Wii ( 2014ish?), they downsize the memory.
Nintendo will continue selling the original Wii (in full-size or 'mini' form) until holiday 2013. They'll probably announce final production just after next holiday season this year and kill the console so that they can compete in every market - last-gen and next-gen - against Microsoft and Sony's consoles (assuming they're out next year). Also, after that season, Nintendo will be able to say that the Wii has surpassed the 100,000,000 mark of units sold, assuming they can get another two and a half million out by then. That should be doable because they've been doing about 3-5 million units per year for the past little while.

If you read the wording closely, it says that it's a Canada exclusive through the holidays. Which means that it will be brought to other territories at the beginning of the new year I presume.
Or it means that it won't even be in Canada after the holidays. At which point it'll be worth even more.

It probably won't be able to play GC games because the "family edition" removed support for it. So while I can see them making it even smaller... I don't really see a point. Maybe to save material costs while they ride the death out? :/ It's probably a fake rumour.
That's true. It might also be a surprise with perhaps two GC ports instead of four, and just a single memory card slot. Then again, I might be out to lunch. Of course, it would probably cannibalize their own sales if they made GameCube games available on the Wii U Virtual Console/eShop. Then again, how would we manage with controls? Even the Pro Controller doesn't line up with the GC controller unless you remap all the buttons to be inverse (analog on the top, buttons on the bottom).

I figured I'd give you guys a little treat. We're putting up our Pro Controller review on Eggplante tomorrow morning (around 2AM EST), but you've all been great conversationalists, so here it is. You won't be able to find it online, but here's the link directly to it!
Enjoy and please let me know what you think in our comments on the site!

nice little review
.
On a side note, would it be possible to use the Pro controller with pc games, like you're able to do with a 360 controller?
We haven't tested anything yet, but our guess is that the USB cable only draws power, not data. Also, drivers would have to be written to utilize the buttons. You can't connect it wirelessly since it uses a Wii U-specific frequency for data transfer, but theoretically, it would be possible if the USB cable carries data.

I've got articles coming discussing the real pros and cons of the GamePad as a TV remote as well as plenty of game reviews starting tomorrow!
Should I keep posting them up? I don't want anyone to think I'm just here to spam!

Either way, you need to keep in mind that IGN's review is in fact a review in progress, and you'll notice they're not really commenting on hardware and rather making vague impressions at this point.
Nintendo has actually embargoed the media from releasing hardware reviews until 12:01 PST on Sunday morning, and there's no way IGN will break that.
It is dangerous to read a review of a product half-way through, because there is a lot that could surprise in the first few days. Of course, there is also the fact that IGN is just one site. Imagine if all you read was GameSpot's Skyward Sword review and how you might think the game isn't nearly as good as it really is.
