From the article
I love it how AMD likes to steal credits from ATI
And ATi stole credit from ArtX
Hands on impressions seem to be very positive.

I'm assuming the wii2 is connected to a tv so how exactly will that controller work in games? It can't be practical having to stare at your control every 2 seconds.
I can see how it will be useful for maps - in games like COD rather than pressing select to show the mini-map you could just take a quick glance at the screen. But apart from little things like that it'll just distract you from the game.
*edit*
After watching that Zelda video the screen on the controller can be pretty cool as it essentially means you don't have to keep bringing up different screens on the TV. I can see it being a pain in fast moving games though!
And that Zelda is certainly a nice looking game!

Why would it be a pain in fast moving games?
The screen would be used for something else, weapon/ammo/team commands etc in those kind sof games.
Console looks excellent.
I will be buying one on launch for sure!

What I mean is games where you press select to look at your inventory and it pauses the game. If the screen is used for your inventory then you'll have to take your eyes off your tv which may mean you die or whatever. And yes I know you could pause the game before looking but that defeat the whole object really as you may have well just pressed select and paused it anyway!

For the Wii U? It's proprietary but based on 50GB Blu-ray.
Really? on the IGN recap they said it was a simple DVD drive..

Hmm, Reggie was asked on GTTV about the disc. He said it's definitely not Blu-ray but their own format which has ample space for HD games. So I guess it could be a DVD drive... I read about the 50GB Blu-ray on one of the news sites. Could be wrong.

So what we've learned is .. no one really knows
LOL, yes. One clue is that the games support uncompressed 5.1 surround sound (PS3 does u/c 7.1, Xbox compressed 5.1) so they must have lots of space for that.

Hmm, my initial reaction is that I don't think it wil be as popular as the Wii once was/is...

The video of the robin does look impressive for a console and so does the screenshot of from Zelda.
However, if this console doesn't completely crap on the ps3 and 360 from an enourmous height then there is something seriously wrong with it, as the 360 and ps3 are very old technology now.
Nintendo need to get this console out significantly before the other two. Nintendo could sell a lot of consoles that way. On the flip side Sony and Microsoft can steal any good bits from it for their own consoles.
Personally I loved the Gamecube but thought the Wii was a POS. I wonder how this console will turn out. It needs to come out sharpish as the Wii has no purpose anymore now Play and Kinect are out.

, but i am very fond of my DS so have little doubt they can make it work!
I think that feature is going to be very popular. Imagine coming home from work and all you want to do is play Zelda on your wii u but your wife wants to watch x factor or eastenders... what do you do? You lose every time, right? At least now you have an option.
£300 max I'd say.
If the controller thingy is really good and sells the console, what will sony and ms do? They can't just go and stick a screen on their controllers, can they? They're just now trying to do what nintendo did in 2007 with motion controls.

What's the built in memory?

Looks good to me. I will be getting one for sure. I always love new experiences. Buy all consoles, keep and enjoy for a while, then sell on. Minimal cost really. Why miss out?
Only platform I invest in, in terms of buying digitally is pc. Never have to worry then

I wonder how many are going to buy it after getting burned by the wii. Theres got to millions out there that bought the wii and only used it for a few hours and then eithier put into storage or sold it.
