Electronic Entertainment Expodition 2011

Nintendo just rocked my smurfing world.

This. But really hard.

You could try reading the article right above your post in which the first people you use the controller are saying it actually works well. "The tablet itself appears large, but is actually quite comfortable to grip. The two sliders both being located at the top of the tablet make holding it considerably easier."

I did and I won't be convinced until I hold one for myself. The opinions of someone else don't amount to much as far as how it will feel in my hands when you consider I have a friend who finds the original Xbox controller comfy.

I also have no doubt that it's as comfortable as it can be compared to a tablet or something similar, but that's not what I'm comparing it to. I'm comparing it to a standard controller and I really have a hard time believing that will sit as comfortably in my hands as a Dual Shock or 360 pad.

Yes, let's condem it before you yourself can try it. Despite others saying it's surprisingly comfortable. I'm not saying anything you've said is invalid, it's just why not show a hint of optimism before you try it, rather than just sounding completely jaded?

Nintendo contiues to be the pioneers and risk-takers of the industry.

...but the actual technology behind it is freakin' awesome and I don't doubt for a single second that it's the future of gaming. It makes total sense for the tablet/touch technology to be applied for gaming purposes. In fact, I'm surprised that it's taken this long for the major players to jump on board.

I'm really excited to see where they go with this.

Totally! I was really eager to see what Nintendo had to show, since they seem to always be a step ahead of the rest in terms of innovation (whether good or bad). As Miriel said, I'd probably wait for the next revision of it to consider getting it (much like my feelings for the 3DS)..

Super Mario 3DS looks pretty awesome too, I'm loving the racoon suit Mario is sporting.
