I was at Target yesterday to check out the buy 2 get 1 free sale and saw a demo display of the Nintendo Wii U in the electronics section. Sadly, there weren't any demo games to try out, but it at least showed what the controller looked like and had demo videos of some of the games that's going to release alongside the launch. It feels a bit awkward which is probably why Nintendo decided to create a dedicated hardcore gamer controller for certain games. I can see the gamepad controller coming into play for a lot of other games though. The gamepad's actually really light, so the player wouldn't get tired that easily from holding it. But the ergonomic is a bit odd. For me, I guess I'm just not used to the controller yet, but at least it's not entirely uncomfortable. Those with smaller hands like children or those with much larger hands of adults maybe have difficulty holding the controller comfortably for long durations; however, I imagine Nintendo and other developers to make more use of the touch screen on the gamepad rather than using the keys. It's hard to tell whether the Nintendo Wii U will take off on launch day. There's a lot of neat games that have been showcased for the Wii U so far, but there hasn't been a true killer software for it yet. I just hope developers are more willing to support the system and create more games on it than the lack of support we've seen for the Nintendo 3DS the past year and a half. The Nintendo Wii U launches on November 18th, 2012 about two weeks from now.
