Wii U Reveal Mistakes!

[Jayhmmz]

OK, so this will clear up a lot of things! The Wii U isn't just a controller... it will actually be a new console as well!

I copied and pasted this from IGN:

Speaking to the London Evening Standard, President and CEO of Nintendo Satoru Iwata admitted that things should have been done differently for the Wii U's big unveiling at E3 last week.

He said: "Because we put so much emphasis on the controller, there appeared to be some misunderstanding."

All eyes have certainly been on the Wii U's new controller, which has its own 6.2-inch touch-screen, with many assuming that it was Nintendo's new console – a portable device akin to a tablet.


Wii U Console

"We should have made more effort to explain how it works," Iwata said in retrospect.

He remained confident that Nintendo did not botch the reveal, but conceded that they "should have shown a single picture of the new console, then started talking about the controller."

"The console is not drastically different, and Wii U is about the controller. The console itself will be almost invisible."

Yeah, actually, they were confused, because it wasn't 100% clear that there was actually going to be a brand new console from what they presented in the press conference. The presentation focussed far too much on the Wii U pad, and people thought that it was just the pad (as a hand-held system) that was getting released, and not a console as well. Nintendo made the Wii U pad look like a next-gen Gameboy, instead of it accompanying a new console.

Another confusing console topic for me O.o I got confused about the Xboxi Kinect too? I think that's what Kinect is for? I really can't decide cause there're so many things coming out these days that I can't wrap my head around it anymore -.- SO...Are these things CONTROLLERS, ADD ONS, or CONSOLES!?

Aaah the density... it buuuurrrrns...

[Synge]

Aaah the density... it buuuurrrrns...

Hahaha

I can't wrap my head around it either :P

Edit @ Saph: Just pretend Kinect doesn't exist, it's for the best.

[Jayhmmz]

Just accept that some people didn't realise and stop being such a ****ing snob about it.

Sorted.

kinect and psmove were both add-ons. Wii U is a new console.

Why can't we all play nice and just be happy about e3?
