You know what... I have a flippin' gripe to pick with Nintendo on the Wii U and 3DS. What sort of fascist (yeah -- I went there) BS is it to have limited plays on demos!? It reminds me of when I was a kid, and you couldn't just go out and buy any game on your lemonade stand fund. So, what did you do? You just played a demo over and over until you could actually get the game by raiding your piggy bank, or getting it as a gift. The demo was your way to slightly ease the pain of not being able to get this game that you really wanted. So, what's the flippin' point of limiting it?
Of course, this doesn't really affect me, because I only need one playthrough of Monster Hunter 3 to see that it's some unfun, bastard love-child between Dynasty Warriors and Devil May Cry. :|
Nintendo finally admitted in a round about way that people are confusing the Wii and Wii U.

Heh... my friend thought it was just a newer Wii. Maybe it's the way video game consoles work now that are confusing people? You almost always get shrunken down variants of consoles, and in a way, the Wii U sort of seems like a shrunken Wii. Of course, it doesn't help that it can actually play Wii games, since the console uses somewhat similar hardware.
Oh, and I have to call BS on that kid playing the Wii U on the Gamepad in his bedroom. I can't even walk into my flippin' kitchen, which is about 20 feet from the Wii U, without it complaining about the signal being poor between the Wii U and the Gamepad. I tried going upstairs with it so I could watch a download while I was on my computer. Did it work? Nope -- it disconnected before I could even make it up the stairs!
I also don't like the lack of an Ethernet connection on the Wii U. It's my only non-portable device that isn't connected by wire to the Internet.
