    We're all really just swimming in the ocean of life and there's occasionally a coral to scrape us but our fins recover and we keep on keeping on.

    Cool video. I really can't wait for E3 tomorrow.
    EDIT: Is anyone else hoping for a name change? I can't stand the name and I do believe it can go with a better name.

    Biggest part to me was when they showed the xbox-style controller. Now you can play fps on nintendo?

    The skit about halfway through is the funniest thing I've seen in a really long time. Funny in a bad way. Funny in a bad way, like Mr. Caffeine.

    Is that potentially the next Legend of Zelda game at 10:09 or is it just a demo to show how well a game could look?

    I was definitely impressed by what Nintendo showed. I wasn't expecting as much as what was shown. That WiiU Controller Pro and the entire MiiVerse thing were pretty awesome. The Miiverse in particular has a couple new features I really like.

    After tonight, I'm sold on the hardware. Just show me the games on Tuesday, and it'll be a day one purchase.

    Can't wait. This sounds like a great step forward. Screen Shots and gameplay element sharing. Also constant connectivity. Can't wait to see the games in action.

    Who in the heck told this guy to communicate to people about a new console with no English, can't understand him and no excitement... This guy didnt excite me at all.. Their marketing director sucks... People need sold on the product, not told in a way that makes u fall asleep... Wow...
  • by Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 09:26 PM
    Yeah, the WiiU seems like it's going to be pretty dang cool. I think they actually may have the online issues from the past dealt with, we just need to see the marketplace.

    Hopefully it comes bundled with the Pro Controller too.

    That commercial in the middle, though, is just bad. I can deal with it, but if they go forward with advertising like that, it's going to turn a lot of people off the console.
