The controller is one of the worst things I've ever layed my eyes on. I can only imagine it's price point.

I hope they release it in black at launch, or at least have the option of black or white. I hate not having my gear match.

The name makes me think of the Huey Lewis song Do You Believe In Love.

There's a part where the background vocals go "whee-oo-oo-oo".

The controller is the ****. I mean that literally. I HATE it! You can't bank on margins with consoles. History shows if you price them too high, there will be no interest. This is especially true for Nintendo that caters to "casual gamers". I suspect this console will have to be a loss leader or Nintendo might price themselves out. I know I wouldn't spend my money on Nintendo without knowing what MS or even PS is holding in their hole cards.

I wish the machine had more horsepower....HD is great and all, but I bet it wont compete with latest generation games on the PS3 or Xbox360. Disappointing as always. Nintendo has been a disappointment since the N64, all because they backed out of CD based market (PS1).

Nintendo should start developing games exclusively for the PC

Depending on the price, I may buy a Wii U just for Zelda and Mario Kart in HD.
