    While the information is unconfirmed for the time being, I think it's a curious thing that they would have three models for the WiiU. I'm assuming that they'll each have different specs, the pricier having what the others didn't.

    Says that the basic model is assumed to be about $250.oo, which, if you remember, was the original price for the Wii. The next model is looking at $300.oo, and then the third would be $350.oo. Those aren't bad prices, but they are unconfirmed, so I can't really say I would be surprised if they were a little more than that. Nintendo consoles, though, have always been the lower priced consoles of the recent generations upon first release. Specifically remembering the PS3 being $700.oo.

    I'm wondering if it will have backwards-compatibility with Wii games, and if it does, I wonder if it'll keep BC with GameCube games. It'd be a shame if it didn't.

    It'll work great for shooters. I honestly don't expect it to be poor for Smash or anything, or for the buttons to strain fingers. It's just the reverse movements your fingers make with an Xbox controller. Nothing major.
