LOL, I thought that was a joke at first. I didn't realize that Nintendo's prototype was literally just two Wiimotes taped to a touch screen. Doesn't look too advanced there, does it?

So this was the original prototype?? Hmmm....

Didn't one guy create something like the picture on the left? I remember the video was him in his garage and he was playing some shooter to show off the tech.

i...i dont even.

innovation at its best.

looks like my friends' ghetto rigged wii u.

That is pretty weird-looking, and unwieldy... they pretty much did glue Wiimotes to a 3DS.

Wow. Just, wow.

THE WiiDS LIVES.

If only we could see the initial prototypes of the kinect and move. The move probably had a pretty funny looking prototype.

oh~ prototypes eh? interesting, touch screen, wiimotes, nuchuck and gun with screen.... creative!

Interesting to say the least. They all start at some shape or form. Not the most flattering, but it got the job done.

Did MacGyver put these together? :P

That's actually kind of funny. Takes us through the literal evolution of the idea.

Thank heavens they didn't keep that button layout...

It's just a tablet with two Wii-motes slapped on it.  I'm glad they changed that.

Hahah nice. Origin stuff.

Im glad the didn't make that a permanent design. That looks uglier than the Wii U game pad itself now.

O_O intresting look galde they made it the way they did and not use those what ever they are lol.

They sure came a long way from THAT, didn't they? O.O

This is actually a cool process to see.
