I'm not liking it. The controller is massive and I haven't seen anything revolutionary about it.

Sony or Microsoft make a tablet to work with their consoles, and Nintendo is screwed.

I can see the promise, but it's just so amorphous. It's all dependent on where the developers go with it and that didn't work out so well for the Wii. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 09:57 5
- The only stand-alone thing I saw on the gadget was a game of Othello. This isn't innovative. Sega had the VMU with hyde's beloved Dreamcast. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 10:08 4
  - and that was pushed by the system, it wasnt stored on the controller. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:08 3
    - The Wii U isn't storing games on the controller either, it's pushing video from the console. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 10:26
    - Dude, seriously? If that tablet doesn't work independently, even on a minimal level, they're gonna get roasted. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 10:13 1
      - yup. its not a tablet, its a controller -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:29
I wouldn't call it revolutionary but it does follow a natural progression for them and integrates their products well - oblique Jun 8, 09:56 4
- its not portable, its tied to the base system. they keep telling reporters that. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:02 3
  - Not portable in the sense that you don't take it out of the house (that's what the DS/3DS is for) but in the home? Have they said whether or not it - oblique Jun 8, 10:04 2
    - the games have to be on the WiiU for it to be played on the new controller. Reggie said that during an interview with g4 yesterday. - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:05 1
      - I think people are confusing the controller with a console itself rather than thinking of it as a display for the real console. - Ender Jun 8, 10:25
I hate that controller so much. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 09:56
My gut reaction was that the controller is clunky. I wonder how my son's little hands will, uh, handle it. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 8, 09:56
