:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I've always had this problem where I somehow cant't ever properly get into a game unless it's on a handheld system. Now I'll finally be able to play a bunch of Wii RPGs I've been otherwise meh about! Too bad it doesn't have backwards compatibility with the GC...

During the conference I was like this:

But right now... I don't know, it may not be an awful idea. The biggest flaw is that you can only use one 'tablet' controller per console, that kind of defeats its purpose for multiplayer. And looking at two screens is fine on a DS with small screens that are attached, I wonder if looking down to the controller will be a good idea while playing on a TV.

Also, the name sucks hard. And also, the console itself looks like a cheap Xbox 360 clone. I hope they work on it and I want mine to be anything but white! I love white consoles and I went all white with my Wii, PS3 and DS, but I don't want my Wii U to look almost exactly like my Wii.

I agree that not supporting GC sucks, but I'll keep my Wii and I still have my GameCube, so yeah. What bothers me is that I use GameCube controllers for every Wii game that lets me do it (Mario Kart, Smash, Tatsunoko, etc.). But since Wii U will support Classic Controllers, I'm definitely buying a couple of these:

Classic Controllers, but kind of cube-controller shaped. Looks awesome, and it's Hori Image

As long as it gets games I want I'll buy one. It's a Nintendo console, I have still to not buy one. And it's getting a Tekken game so I really have no excuse Image

Wouldn't new Smash Bros have been enough in the first place, though? XD
