So this is what Nintendo think hardcore gamers are like?

Neat tidbits here and there, will be good to see them extended at the conference.

[Crazybone126]

Well, let's actually talk about what they discussed.

To me, the Nintendo Network is practically its own social network. And what they're doing to ensure that, globally, people are connected with one another is brilliant.

PS: If you're expecting Nintendo to gloat about their system specifications, then you're looking into the wrong company. Even when they were on top of the home console power lists, they never gloated about their system specs. They usually just release a system specifications list much after their E3 conference without making much of a fuss about it. Tuesday is going to be about the software, not the hardware.

Wow, I am NEVER going to write like that ever again. That's just...woah.

The social network is interesting to me in how are they going to regulate it. Look at the Wii codes that you have to put in do they have another system for that?

Same thing with the video chat.

I expected social features to be a big part of all three next-gen consoles so thats not surprising.

[Crazybone126]

And the creation of the Wii U Pro controller was simply just to shut the people who saying "Durr, it's controller looks SOOOO uncomfortable, and why is there a screen in there anyway" up. So now, they have a traditional controller.

[solidsnakejej]

Well to be fair it looked incredibly uncomfortable, though it looks better now.

Yes it does interesting but he brought of one of the pitfalls and then left it at that. What about people posting spoilers?

It is a cool idea, and reminds me of playing Demons Souls except you will know who is talking and it won't be pre-made messages, both are potential positives and negatives. What needs to happen is there needs to be a way to turn it off if you don't want to see what everyone is saying, and filter it to only your friends if you desire, probably both will happen though, it's to obvious to miss.

[Crazybone126]

I'm sure they have an ability to turn it off. He just didn't address it because, why? He needs to sell you on the initial idea prior and let you know what the feature is/does.

[solidsnakejej]

Best feature, Porn curtains so you can surf privately.

Could just let us use our 360 controllers since the Pro controller is identical.

[Crazybone126]

And the Xbox controller looks like the old Gamecube controller layout.

Inverted analogue sticks.
A D-pad below the left analogue.
Pressure sensitive shoulder buttons.
A green 'A' button.
A red 'B' button
An 'X' and a 'Y' button.

The Wii U Pro doesn't have inverted analogue sticks, and I'll be honest, that's gonna feel quite awkward considering where the front facing buttons are.

The Xbox controller excels at shooters, but falls short of say, RPGs, fighters, or action beat-em-up type games that don't use the right analogue stick as a means of combat. The Playstation controller with its non-inverted analogue sticks, on the other hand, is perfect for those types of games, so that may be their thinking behind the Wii U Pro controller. Have non-inverted analogue sticks, but also the accessibility for fast-paced shooter-type games.

I realize there is no reason to address it. And I said it would probably happen, it would almost be impossible to overlook that.

I also think that control may be awkward to use, too. But I think it is really only meant to be a cheaper alternative to buying another WiiU tablet control. We still don't know what they cost, but I still can't see them being cheap.

I'm going to copy your post to another forum crazy bone, this'll be fun.

I like this time of year.
