I'm seriously not liking this at all. My parents aren't going to care for this, I don't care for this. You have to question who wants this at all, in lieu of a proper next-gen hardcore console, or to replace the Wii or Kinect that's gathering dust under the TV.

It could turn out to be AWESOME, but for now, I'm very sceptical.

I agree, I'm not interested in this at all, and the only reason I got a Wii was because my mom wanted Wii Fit.

Not interested. I'll reserve final judgement for when I have one in my hands but I hate the name and am not fond of the idea/concept.
The controller looks like a Ben Heck mod. Hate to think how much it'll cost as well.

Not even 10min after the show floor opened Nintendo reached their line capacity for the day. Long ass line to try out, we weren't too far off from cutoff point. Well try to catch it tomorrow morning

Looks interesting.

It's made by Nintendo so I'm not going to throw it under the bus without having some first hand experience with it.

No way Sony or Microsoft release a new console in 1-2 years.

They said when Kinect and Move got released, that those added 3-5 years to the lifespan.

Totally agree, however with the listed functionality (including playing the game on the new controller) it seems to be more like a handheld Wii. I'd still like Ben Heck to do that even ;)

Did they mention how much those controllers were going to retail for? Those things look expensive to replace.
