I think the biggest hurdle for me, personally, to buy the Wii U, is the fact that I might the Wii on launch day terribly excited about all it promised - A new era of gaming, where we wouldn't just be pushing buttons, where no gameplay mechanics could be created around this exciting new controller, and really at the…

I like that voice is built into the controller, and that you've got maps and stuff on it. Though what i'm not looking forward to is everyone in games like that having a voice. It's bad enough when only a few people have it.

uhh. There is fast travel in NV. I thought the travel distance was fine, I was still running into things all the time, and if you keep an eye on your navigation thingo, it points out all the map items you are close to that you haven't visited.
