Seriously though the little detachable things look dreadful for people with large hands. They looked small in the hands of those tiny women in the video.

Looked like it. That thing's going to have halved framerate in handheld mode. At least. Given the action-y games they showed off, that's probably not a good thing. They couldn't even make the thing look good in their announcement trailer.

It's a technical nightmare. There are so many parts. Also, loving no one's going to lug around a WiiU tablet-sized "handheld" more than like... to the bathroom. Which, if you're into taking a poo poo while collecting stars or shines or whatever, that's cool. But I can't imagine anyone actually taking that thing out anywhere. No screen protection. Where would you put it?

Also that might be their worst controller ever. At least the default one. Four buttons instead of a dpad so, when you're playing half-assed multiplayer modes that don't need a camera control, you still have buttons. Fighting games are right out. At least they showed off one that looks a little better. Hopefully it actually has some heft to it this time around.

oh and the framerate was choppy when it showed splatoon too, maybe every game is 2 frames per second. that would make sense. i'm a genius

I'm sure you'll be able to buy screen protectors or cases just like any phone/tablet/handheld, this is a strange complaint.

not really feeling it and after the disastrous wii u lifetime I'm gonna wait at least two years before feeling comfortable picking it up.

Lots of technical things should be answered by that timeframe.

I'm upset by this because I really liked the placement of the sticks on the Wii U pro controller. You mash the button with the fat part of your thumb and move the sticks with the end, like god intended. Everyone else was doing it wrong up to that point and I'm sad Nintendo kowtowed on this point.

I don't know, going toe-to-toe with phone SoCs seems like a terrible idea. I assume this is some sort of Nvidia Tegra/ARM affair. The stationary part will be outdated when it is released and the mobile part a year later... and then what? :shrug:
