Awesome ideas! Hope to get around to doing one soon...trolling your friends using the gamepad is just too damn cool!

Welcome to the forum Luna!
I have been settling myself in here for a while now, posting mostly in Wii U Hardware, and games, but also like to catch the latest news on David's Blog! I also play Mario Kart 7 with some members, and come on chat frequently. Really great to find out new developments, as well as learn about new LP's and general gaming too! I have a real fondness for Nintendo, Mario and Zelda, although the range of interest in the forums here is extremely broad. You'll very likely meet people of different ages and character, and surprisingly, loyalty to different brands. It is nice to be involved here..you may even find out more words to further higher your skills in English get postin'!

Take it easy, see you around I'm sure

Just figured you guys would like to read this...

It makes a very good point, and is good for having confident opinions on Nintendo's ideas. Regardless of who or what turns up at E3, I believe that unless bigger and better ideas evolve out of no where, Nintendo really has a winner already.

i agree they will definately not go over $400, no way, especially in this economic climate, i totally see it being $300-350. but i don't think theres even the slightest chance of a bundle without the tablet controller, its the main focus of the console and i think most games will use it, if not all. however i do think they should do bundles with and without wii mote and nunchuku.

Agreed. It is ALL about the tablet controller for innovation. The hardware will rock, it will def be affordable still, because they will need to sell A LOT of them at launch. Momentum (as has been explained before by Reggie himself) is essential in this business, so steady sales will need to be achieved very quickly. It will be a knock on effect I think when the Wii U launches, the 'BALLERS' (thanks Tron) will pick it up from launch, word of mouth about quality and its appeal will quickly spread into mainstream, and to the wider communities. There just has to be enough promise for features and what to expect before Xmas 2012 so that many more people will pick it up. Nintendo will have to learn a few new tricks mind, tactile pricing first...this old dog ain't dead yet!

That's not funny! That's just scary!

I laughed at how scary it actually was

Yo dawg Brian. Add me to this list dawg. Vidya game covers and occasional Minecraft videos or whatever i feel like uploading.

Snook a peeky look and was greeted by that Skyward Sword guitar cover! Awesome! Inspired me to open up the musical cd and get right into the soundtrack

Since when is Link Zelda? *Wipes coffee tea from screen*

The beginning of Portal 2 with the "say apple" part. I'll link it later.

Yeah that was rather amusing! I don't know even to this day why Shell jumps, but great banter with Wheatly!

Another Portal 2 part for jokes, I had to reload again and again just to see the section where you first see a turret! "Hello? Hello? Take me with you, hello? Thanks anyway....I'm different..!"

You can go back and collect it later on for it to relive prophesies for you lol!

Has anyone got any ideas or speculative theories on how Nintendo seem to be managing their own brand image? There is just too much negativity surrounding Nintendo, and what, because they like to brand their business to as many people as possible? I hardly know anyone anymore that appreciates the company like I do. Even my Dad had made a point to me recently saying "You're really faithful to Nintendo aren't you?". I of course had to agree, but it was more of a moment where I noticed my own self belief in the company, and that I actually care a lot about them doing the right thing. I want to play their games for as long as I live!

They aren't spoken of much at all amongst many students I know or core-gamers, unless someone wants to criticise them. I don't think it is just because there was the lull of the Wii, or poor launch of the 3DS, but something more cultural.

If they want to appeal to a market that is now looking furthermore distant (unreachable even?), as well as newer generation of gamers having no interest, or confidence in the company...what next? Surely they can't assume they will just throw out 3rd Party support similar to what is available on 360 or PS3. A promise of addition 3rd Party support is certainly not a bad step at all, but is only really changing matters once the console is actually launched. Between now and then, some changes need to be made so to make Nintendo worth everyone's attention once more. In years to come I can expect there to be greater acceptance to the company, but I am just not feeling totally comfortable right now with the level of support they seem to have. Doesn't it bother you that people seem to negate their image?

To put it simply, the Wii U is going to have the most influence on girls than any other 'home' console has had before.  This makes too much sense after a little thought, so I made this post.  Hello.  Although the examples we have seen for the console so far have been working titles etc, the concept for Wii U kinda seems appropriate for a female audience more than the likes of the 360 and the PS3.  

Spare a few thoughts to all the factors involved in the development of the Wii U, and what it stands for in this current time.  Can you say that it isn't quite fitting?  If examples must be made, just ask...but let's discuss first!

(P.S. I posted this in the Hardware part of the forum for a reason...)
