Console looks like an Xbox with Wii stuff slapped on. Controller looks like the new PSP, minus the back touch screen. Looks cool though. I'll buy it, assuming the ?new motion sensing technology? is at least as good as the playstation move. |

Well, I know I'm a Nintendo fanboy and all, but this really does look incredible. The name is a little suckish, and the whole idea of a tablet controller struck me as dumb when I first saw it, but after seeing some of the implementations of it I am completely sold. My only issue is that it will be crazy expensive. |

Price will most definitely be an issue. But meh. Some of the full HD teasers they showed during the presentation (like for Zelda) were downright sexy. I blew the ps3 and 360 out of the water. |

The controller seems like a good tool and a gimmick at the same time. :/ It also means things like hide 'n go seek is possible since one person can use a controller. (like in the example video) I really like that you can draw on it though. That sold me. I predict many a philosopical indie game exploring the ideas of a "new window into the same virtual space" |

Aside from the name it looks pretty good, definitely looking forward to seeing what people do with it. |

Seems like pretty good hardware, but I don't know if it will have a strong enough line of games to back it up. You can only have so many Zelda, Mario, and Super Smash Bros. games before they get boring. The games that have been announced on that page are not too exciting for me to begin with, and certainly not enough to justify buying this. tl;dr > Too early to say what'll come out of it, but I'm not really excited yet. |

whitty wrote: Price will most definitely be an issue. My thoughts in a nutshell. Especially for the controllers, I thought wiimotes were expensive but these things seem like they'll net at least $120 or so each. It's pretty much a big smartphone with joysticks. They also seem quite gimmicky, as few third party developers will likely use it to any amount of it's potential, having to program in all those functions. I could be wrong though, if the API Nintendo provides is really good it could be used quite a lot (at least in a basic way, like the inventory view for the Zelda game). Edit: Also, lol, weeoo. |

Right now, I haven't got any reason to really anticipate this. If, at any point, there's a good line up of 3rd party games, I'll definitely consider getting it. Until then, lolno. |

Say it fast and it sounds like WEEEEEEEEW. With the console doing the processing, looks like it could be an effective (if limited) handheld machine. I mean, if you don't need a TV, still could be good. |

Oh, right, my bad. Also, whitty, would an OP with content be too much to ask for? |
