Unlikely that the form factor of the Wii U will change radically before its launch.
President of Nintendo America Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed that the Wii U and its controller on display at E3 this year were "quite near final" in terms of their designs.
Aesthetically, the Wii U unit is consistent with the familar, white, minimalist design of its predecessor.
It's a little bigger. But according to Fils-Aime, speaking to VentureBeat, "The size is driven by the componentry and what's inside... when you compare it to any of the competitive systems, it's still dramatically smaller."
Fils-Aime also took the opportunity to stress that the controller was not a portable device, and was very different to a tablet in terms of functionality.
"It is a connected experience to the base console," he said. "It talks with the base console. It interacts with other Wii accessories whether that is a Wii Remote Plus or a Wii Balance Board."
Are you happy with Wii U's design? If anything, what would you tweak?
