Nintendo wants to use the Wii U name but some trademark troll is giving them grief over it for whatever reason and they've got a backup plan in case they can't use it.
Rumours of it being weaker than PS3/Xbox 360 untrue, Nintendo annoyed about them.
Haptic bio feedback considered, not decided
NDAs stop publishers from talking about the console and upcoming games much, making it difficult for Nintendo to get the news out
Release date possibly November 18th 2012, no decision made
I kinda was hoping for an earlier release date, but I guess they scheduled the release date in November for a reason...
Also, I sure am glad the rumors about the WiiU being less powerful than current gen consoles is untrue.
