Apart from the Pokemon games Nintendo has done nothing for me in terms of gaming.

It's SUCH A HORRIBLE NAME.

With that said-- I'm actually quite excited for what is in store. Regardless, Smash Bros. is going to be on both the 3DS and Wii U, so no matter what, I'll buy each of them.

They couldn't get a working console prototype ready for E3 because they spent months and millions of dollars researching the best possible console name.

Then apparently they took the resulting report, burned it, and peed on the ashes. I'm right there with AdrianHD, such a horrible, horrible name. But how will this work? The new Wii U comes out in 2012, followed by the new MS and Sony consoles in 2015. So yet again Nintendo will be behind the curve and most likely losing out on big name releases because their tech is outdated.

Meh. So the footage was from other platforms. I get it. You've seen one 1080p reel, you've seen 'em all. Though a game like Uncharted always dazzles me when seen on any TV 180hz or higher. The controller is still a rock ass innovation, just as the Wiimote/Wii was. I think that Nintendo needs to follow thier systems release with some great titles. The franchise favorites, Zelda, Mario, etc. won't be enough. It's the same reason I'm waiting a long while before I get a 3DS; what games will be available that are worth making the investment?

You are very right that this could be an amazing console. I really am looking forward to more asymmetric gameplay.
However, when they decided to show a "demo reel", I don't think they should have fudged on the system. It's just frankly a cheap move. Maybe the developers of the games signed off that their footage could be used from another system, but if I was Sony or Microsoft, I would be pissed that my system is being the one to promote the next generation of the opponent.

Happens a lot of times. Even sometimes, if the demo is pre-recorded, the person will be holding a PS3 controller but it'll be running on a 360. I forget which game that happened to.

Also, I got to mention: I DO like the controller, but the circle pads annoy me and the fact that the right circle pad is above the buttons is supremely annoying.

They could do some cool stuff with Controller/pad . A motion tracker in aliens colonial marines, but not every game is going to use it very well. And it becomes an add on gimmick. With no system specs and a sometime next year release, this seems rushed. Without Development time and program testing, this games are gonna end up being bargain bin junk like 95% of the current WII "games"
