The console itself reminds me of the old PS Ones. (Not the original Playstations but the smaller ones they made.)

I am alternating between thinking it's ridiculous and brilliant.
I guess I'm just going to have to actually play one to find out.

Also, whitty, would an OP with content be too much to ask for?

At the moment, yes. I'll get on that later.

Eh. It could be really cool, and it could be really, really bad. The screen on the controller, while innovative, could end up sucking massively if its not integrated right.

My comment on it (ripped from a message I sent to my friend):
"New console is called Wii U. Don't like the controller that much, it does have the fabled display on it, but the screen seems way too big for my liking. It displayed an art program and it acted like a wacom cintiq. They also showed that the screen can show unique menus or gameplay elements the or screen can show what the tv would show (or each player can get a part of what would be a split screen). Though he did say that "it is not designed to be inexpensive", which is kind of bad to hear. Also the 3ds and wii U will work together somehow.

Announced games: darksiders 2, tekken 4, new assassins creed, batman archam city, Dirt, ghost recon online, metro last light, ninja gaiden 3, an alien (the movie) game, and a few other new games announced for wii u. Also battlefield 3?"

New Controller: The new controller incorporates a 6.2-inch, 16:9 touch screen and traditional button controls, including two analog Circle Pads.

It includes a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, rumble feature, camera, a microphone, stereo speakers, a sensor strip and a stylus.

Storage: The console will have internal flash memory, as well as the option to expand its memory using either an SD memory card or an external USB hard disk drive.

Other facts: (GTTV interview with Reggie)

Sounds neat but it doesn't change the fact I haven't even found a normal Wii game that I want to play.
