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.

All they gotta do is make Pro controllers compatible.

The only real critique I have right now is that the assembled controller looks goofy as hell. I need to hold it in my hands before I make any real judgments.

cartridges are cheaper to produce than blu-rays. it's funny seeing people try to argue from a position of us living in 1995

blu rays are still cheaper, but cartridges are definitely better for a portable system

It looks pretty big for a portable device to me, but then I guess people carry tablets around with them so maybe I'm just not used to the idea.

What I'm really concerned about is probably how none of the people in the video had it in a carrying case of any kind when they go meet their friends in the abandoned warehouse or under a bridge to play real basketball followed by video basketball (as you do).

Anyway I'm really happy for more games and hairstyles in Splatoon!

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 The stationary part will be outdated when it is released and the mobile part a year later...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:
Maybe they'll backport Wii Sports?

yeah i know how is nintendo going to compete with all those great telephone games such as "Rub The Screen" and "Touch A Colors"

the docked controller looks silly but i bet it will grip and feel exactly like the pro controller, just with the button-pad instead of d-pad

Yeah, I think it's likely more comfortable than it looks.

I might spring for that Xbox-clone controller anyway, though, if only to have an actual d-pad.

How about user replaceable batteries for the main screen and each of the two little controllers? HA HA HA probably not, have fun when leaving it plugged into your TV most of the time means you get 50% run time off the battery inside six months.

It's in the box so it comes with a controller, but everyone will buy a pro controller to use at home

They didn't show it being one, and if the home/portable split is supposed to be identical, that would be extra functionality you wouldn't have in the docked space.
