I kind of think there should be a forum-wide competition to guess the price of the Wii U. Considering the price of the 3DS I can only wonder how much this will cost.
Nope, The Wii U is an entirely new console. Although, you aren't the first one to make that assumption; due to the console itself not being seen except in press images, and the fact that the console does look a lot like its predecessor.Isn't this just an ADD-On for the Wii? I hope so, because my mom can't afford to spend 400 dollars on a new system.
Controller aside, the only thing the WiiU seems to have over the Wii is HD graphics.My guess is going to be $349-$399. I think it'll be on the lower end personally, but I doubt that it'll be that much more expensive than the Xbox 360 launch. They'll try all they can to avoid getting too much expensive, or they risk losing people like Sony did at the PS3 launch.
It's been 5 years since the Wii, and they can't exactly upgrade to HD graphics in a firmware update.Did they really have to go an make a whole new system?
The Wii's hardware was seriously out of date. They got a lot of mileage out of the system for their time, but it really is starting to show it's age.
As awesome as the screen is, that controller looks very hefty and awkward to me. :/
It already was when it was released, but once the others were pushed, the Wii fell behind, and not just in resolution:

The Wii failed at many effects, as you can see.
As Zeta said, while Nintendo shown off the upcoming Skyward Sword, the Wii U thing was merely a tech demo.By the looks of it, that's a LoZ game on the controller touch screen. Could it be Skyward Sword, or was that confirmed to be Wii (original) exclusive?
Just because the graphics are not that great doesn't mean it isn't good however. I think some games looked amazing on Wii, especially games made by Nintendo.
