Just these controllers are going to be a gimmick, and make the price too high or the profit too low. If they were smart, they added an iPhone/iPad app for the second-screen stuff. Everyone they want to sell a Wuu should have either of those laying around.

Great Idea, but I don't see Nintendo supporting their greatest threat!..  (iPhone & iPad app games)  The iPhone & iPad are eroding the profits of the Game Boy very bad!

I'm not blown away, but let's wait and see, it's Nintendo we're talking about.  ;)

They want the hardcore crowd back, which means better graphics, online and 3rd party support. Plus they always got their own titles, which will sell no matter what, so slim chance you'll ever find a Nintendo titel on an ipad or whatever.

At the moment, i'm happy with all the upcoming 3DS titels: Mario Kart 3D, Super Mario 3D, Paper Mario, Metal Gear, Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid icarus, Star Fox, Resident Evil, Zelda..... The drought is over, let the fun times begin!

It would have been better for their profit if they had included normal controllers, and put a 10$ touch-screen-controller App in the Appstore, to use the iPad or iPhone as extra controller for the WUU.

Yeah I agree. That controller _has_ to raise the price a lot...

Gonna be very honest: I haven't touched my Wii since last summer !!!
I loved playing Galaxy 2 though during the rainy holiday we had in last year's summer....

Even my son has barely touched it since...the DS get's played a _LOT_ though...upgraded to a new Acekard 2i so that I can play lot's of homebrew ;)
