great new lil system cant wait to see the sort of games what come with, controller does look abit wierd but the whole idea is amazing i dont believe i cud really play any games on it due to the postioning of the buttons but it will be some fun to play, i am a hardcore game who knows everything there is to kno about the console wars and all the game etc etc, there whole idea was to catch peoples imagenation, yes Orignal? pointed out they dont seem to in the console war, nintendo's word were "we have decided we do not want to compete and know that we always come 3rd in graphics with the likes of sony and microsoft but our whole inttention from day one of nintendo was never the graphics but the gameplay and stories which went with it and just to have fun because thats what a games console is" due to the fact 360 and ps3 have gone for the more entire multimedia system i/e dvd player, cd player, and console plus web acess machines, nintendo's are strictly games console yes it will be able to play dvds and cd's but there main object is for the player to experince a gaming experince there've never had. aswell they are advertising the console by telling ppl that this console will be going online where you will be able to downloading onto a memory card or somet sort of storage devise every single game from nintendo's back catalog that mins nes all the way through to gamcube.
