that controller is going to hurt the hands after a few hours

 

[Klo]

Why would it possibly be? This thing is slightly higher spec than the PS3 and 360, it will probably be exactly the same as the other two in all fairness.

Ok, let me rephrase. It won't be any better than 6 year old technology.

Looks interesting, but anyone know the actual hardware specs and can use use this new controller on existing wii's?

 

[Tom84]

didn't realise how big that thing is, it's like holding the balance board!!

Thing is, are games developers going to put in a lot of extra coding for a cross-platform game when only one console takes advantage of it?

 

[point decay]

Exactly, it allows the developers to now consider the WiiU for cross-platform gaming.

I think the controller again is going to seperate it from the XBox and PS3 which is the best part.

The developers now get some new tech to really play about with again which will hopefully see some fantastic designs.

 

[Zhokel]

Yes there is a new console,

See here: http://uk.kotaku.com/5809482/the-is-the-first-picture-of-nintendos-new-console-the-wii-u

More details on it soon apparently.

And personally, I'm not really impressed. Nothing there was making me want one personally. Ah well.

here you go explains all.
so basiaclly Nintendo being clever knew that releasing a traditiional console would never work at this time so they kinda created a mega HD ipad.....again really clever

 

[aidan444]

Not trying to troll here, but what are Nintendo thinking? They're releasing a new console mid 2012(If reports are true) that is capable of the same graphics their competitors could do 5 years ago, not to mention that the games shown there will all mostly be available 6-12 months earlier on other consoles.

Not to mention Sony and Microsoft will probably tease/show their new consoles roughly same time this thing launches...

PC?

PC is similar to Xbox.
