I'm guessing that little square is the vitality sensor.

Consumer confusion is easy to fix, or avoid. Their marketing plan will have to be the decisive answer. Oh, and price. Price, I think, was the initial obstacle for the current 3DS's success.

As for the core crowd, if there were [Nintendo] runaways it was only because the other two systems offered more eye candy. I think the Wii name was nothing more than a superficial excuse to ditch Nintendo's system. Just look at the names PlayStation (such a kiddie name, almost like playground), and Xbox... an x box? What the hell is an x box. Calling it the Xbox 360 is also practically calling it the same thing. Excuses. If a gamer wants another system because it offers more eye candy ya don't have to be a hypocrite, it's just gaming, and there should be no stygma attached to it.

You think it's going to cause confusion with its name, that people won't know it's Nintendo's next console?

The most probable cause for the change might be the added click function for the left and right joystic. The addition of clicking on the slide pads might have been giving problems for proper gaming.

And I just have to say that whoever decided that a clickable joystick was a good idea, please be ashamed of yourself.

Awww I was hoping this to be a launch title for the Wii U. At least Darksiders 2 will be there.

I just have this feeling that Nintendo is just going to use E3 to hype up the mainstream audience. It's not the first time they've done it, and because they said that not all information about the Wii U will be shown at E3 I think it's just what they may end up doing. I hope I'm wrong, and I hope they show enough content for both dedicated, and mainstream gamers.

Of course I would like to see seperate titles for each of these franchises, but I also would like to see the outcome of such a "fusion" project. I can't get anymore hyped than I already am. Although if such a game were to be succesful I just wonder what other kinds of "fusions" Nintendo would allow.

How could Blizzard be having server problems when they've got so many free servers from people that don't play World of Warcraft anymore. /jab

Fair enough. I haven't had the chance to try the Pikmin games with Wii controls, but something tells me come November (hopefully) I will get the chance to.

You don't have the GC version?
