Original design on the bottom, obviously. Looks like we're getting traditional analog sticks instead of the circle pads Nintendo showed off last year. The Start and Select buttons have been moved, and both sticks seem to have been moved outward. Not sure how comfortable this looks, but analog sticks are a good thing.

good move by shifting the + and - buttons. they were in a pretty terrible spot before.
nice to see the analog changes too, though i don't mind the circle pads.

Is it just me, or is the screen smaller?

I think the black bar on top is longer in the new design which might give this impression.

the only reason I can possibly think of for putting sticks on top would be to make it easier for you to use the touch screen with your thumbs

I mean who knows if that actually does anything but that's the only thing I can think of to lead to that decision logically


either way I'll be holding judgment til I actually try out the thing

I REALLY hope Wii U isn't the final name. I thought Nintendo realized that was a mistake and was going to change it.

I love the idea of moving the game onto the tablet screen. I think that's genius and really impressed me when I saw it last year.

Will probably not buy the console - the Wii, for me, was a mistaken buy - but my mind could be changed.

But the people who used it liked it.

The gaming media has either ignored or lambasted Nintendo throughout this generation. Of course much of that has been deserved, but to claim that Nintendo has gaming journalism in its pocket or something is pretty inaccurate.

Also, the response to Sony's boomerang was overwhelmingly negative. The response to WiiU's controller hasn't been nearly as bad.

Sony's Boomerang was plain stupid though, there was no way in hell you could actually hold this thing in a natural way.

I don't see the problem with the tablet, it's be like holding a closed book sideways or something, nothing bad.

it's a mixed bag, it has some amazing elements and it also has some amazingly awful game design, like I would expect better from a half assed fan project than some of the design issues in SS much less a zelda game that took 5 years to make. that being said I love it's aesthetic and I applaud it for finally doing something a little different with the series, but there is no way in hell it deserves better than an 8 from anyone with the flaws it has

Man you were LOVIN it back in November. Just have fun man

have fun

call it good

have fun

you wanna do it

no one will blame you

it's there, so easily within your reach

ease your brow

and call it good

Also if SS doesn't deserve a 93% GameRankings average or whatever it got, not a damn thing in this generation does.

xenoblade is the best game on the wii, not SS, and yes SS is more enjoyable at first, the problems become more glaring when you realize the game is almost unreplayable because nintendo is so intent on treating you like a mentally handicapped ape, annoying but still easier to tolerate at first, and new game+ doesn't even fix it -_-

atm I'd say yes or maybe tied with portal, I'm still catching up on a lot of PC/multiplat games though, so that's a lot of why I exempted "best in generation" and simply said I think SS isn't the best game on it's own console

I haven't played SS yet, but how many games from this gen besides Mass Effect and Zelda have you actually played, yo?

Pretty much all the big name Wii stuff and a lot of the big-name 360 stuff. I've probably played most of the super critically acclaimed stuff from this gen, and as a lone game, SS is a cut above everything. Cut above Bioshock, the Mario Galaxies, anything from Valve, and any individual Mass Effect game.

I haven't played any PS3 stuff though, but MGS4 seems to be a lot less gushed over now than it was in 2008.
