The biggest thing I'm upset about with digital-only is going to be the lack of collector's edition content. I mean, sure you might pay extra for DLC or a season's pass or something, but what about that cool journal from the game, or statuette, or even that gold Wii Remote? Gone

#138188 CNN interviews Reggie Fils Aime.

Don't forget that CNN doesn't necessarily "slip up" so much as the poke the fire a bit. Even the slightest bit of controversy is big news.
Not that Reggie would ever do it, but if he was the type to get super mad and yell that Wii U is better and storm off screen would be bigger news than a little interview like this.

#137659 An honest Wii U review (finally!)
Posted by
on 24 November 2012 - 07:34 PM
I think the problem with console reviews is that, for the most part, we have to review the potential of a system. As a piece of hardware, Wii U is a great concept, but not the best execution. However, it is not the best execution because the console is not the best, but because the games to utilize all its features have not been released yet.
A similar thing happened with Wii MotionPlus controls, where Skyward Sword was the first game to reaaaalllly make proper use of them. It is very much up to software developers (other than Nintendo, of course) to make use of the Wii U's capabilities to make the console itself a success.

Don't forget, the Game Boy Micro came out a year after DS when they stopped making GBA games, but that was also a pretty big failure so who knows.

#135298 Automatic Update

Wii didn't have automatic updates.
It had updates on the disc which you had to do in order to play the game which came on the same disc.
I think Ecorsbie is referring to the notification (via the blue light) that updates were available. The Wii lights up when something is ready to be downloaded and installed.

#134943 Nintendo Says It’s Not Making Anymore Wii Games

I predict seeing a lot of dual-discs coming out in the next year or so. A game with a Wii disc that also has some sort of (very basic) functionality for he GamePad. They'll be transitional games that are made to bridge the gap between Wii and Wii U. They will not be by Nintendo however. There is little reason to buy a Wii U if you can get Nintendo's latest on the Wii. Smash Bros. Wii? Nope. Wii U? Certainly.

I had the chance to meet Reggie at E3 this past June. The first thing he did was whip out his 3DS and say, "Okay, are you Eggplante?"
Really awesome guy. Here are a couple of pics!

#130955 Wii U Unboxing

You opened it up at the wrong side. Supposed to open it up with the little holes in the cardboard. That was hardly a review anyway.
It wasn't a review, it was an unboxing. Nintendo has embargoed all reviews on Wii U hardware until 12:01am PST on Sunday, November 18th. It's also why you won't see any visuals of the Wii U turned on from anyone other than Nintendo themselves until the first software update is released.

#130950 Anybody who wont get wii U at launch day?

It is very much necessary to remember that Nintendo has had Wii U in development for about three years, if not longer. That includes salaries of a research and development staff for three years, in addition to prototype manufacturing (each prototype can cost anywhere from $2000 to $100,000, believe it or not), design, software development, and testing.
Then there's actually building the Wii U itself and hoping to make some money on it.
