I'm hoping that the Wii U comes packed in with some of these demos that Nintendo has been showing off here at E3. Battle Me is particularly fun, and makes great great use of both the Wii remote's best function (I.R. pointer controls), and some of the more interesting features of the Wii U controller as well.

I've also been a sucker for little super deformed versions of Metroid characters ever since I first played Minitroid, so that helps.

Wow the thing doesn't even have sticks it's psp like nubs? I wasn't interested before and this just makes it even more crap. The sad thing is I don't really care how disappointed nintendo has made me.

Hah, love the sigh at the end. I'm excited and disappointed at the same time. I have a feeling the Wii U won't see a release till holiday next year.

Damn, those are just nubs. This whole time I was thinking they were proper analog sticks.

Did you get to play Chase Mii? I think you'd love it even more: it's pretty much exactly Pac Man Vs.

@Lk404- I did get to play Chase Mii. Just finished interviewing Suda51, then I'm going to try to get it up there.

Whoever's disappointed in the nubs obviously hasn't tried the 3DS nub, which is amazing. People keep saying that's what this is like.

They think that it's like the PSP's uncomfortable pushed out nub.

The 3DS nub is amazing. I trust in Nintendo for the controller to feel natural.
