The controller seems a bit stupid, but it also seems to have a button layout that hardcore gamers are more familiar to.

It also looks really uncomfortable.

Remember, you can use all previous controllers that the Wii had.

The good third-party support looks promising. I wish Nintendo announced something it had in development for its own system, other than a new Super Smash Bros. game.

Overall, I'm relatively pleased. It looks like Nintendo is handling itself fine.

I'm kinda hoping that Zelda game showcased wasn't just some tech demo.

I also think announcing Smash first is a good move for Nintendo. It implies that Smash will be among the first few games released, and even announcing a SSB sequel will make people buy this console.

Also...
Nintendo 3DS version of Super Smash Bros was announced as well.

The control looks great and the buttons are well placed, the only thing that makes me doubt is the fact that they don't have an angle
And stuff like this

Will make Local game, more like LAN, which is one of the best things about it (for some games and little tvs)

But since it's too square like it might be uncomfortable since i like having my hands in an angle.

People who have tried the controller so far said that it is still comfortable, but we'll see. At least is it is rounded a bit instead of being just a pure prism.

I'm excited. I'll probably get one if I have the money, which I probably won't because I'll be in college when it comes out. The new Smash Bros. game makes me really excited.

I'm SO FREAKING EXCITED about the Smash Bros. games coming out. I'll buy it for both consoles, even if it turns out to be the same thing. Super Smash Bros. is and always will be my favorite series, and they could release a polished version of the original and I'd be just as excited.

Yup.
Announcing Super Smash Bros first for the Wii U was a good move for Nintendo.

They know the series is a console seller.
I'm just hoping they make the gameplay a good balance between Brawl and Melee.
Fast and also a good air game.

Check out IGN's video of the Wii U. The Zelda demo looks insanely awesome. I'm so excited for Smash Bros.

Does New Super Brothers Mii have all new levels? Or is the only difference playing as a Mii?

Considering it's a new mario game, it has to have new levels.

There's even an easy level creator that we average people can use.
I don't see why they couldn't make new levels.

Chances are it'll end up as a full game.
Kinda like what Luigi's Mansion used to be.

I'm guessing the Ad Campign will be something like,

"Wii would like U to join us" *Cut to Family playing Wii U*

What does everyone think the US price is going to be?
I'm guessing $300 or $350.

Hopefully it comes out a bit earlier than that.
