they have a picture of it in the article

[spoiler=here's a better one though][/spoiler]

it's mostly just black like the existing deluxe bundle, but the GamePad has some gold-colored Zelda-themed markings around the edge

I think I'd actually prefer a solid-color Wii U system, but I'll grab this bundle anyway if the price rumors are true and they don't screw anything up like making the system less than 32GB. I'd prefer a 3D World bundle if one is announced.

I'd especially like it if they include a Pro Controller and NintendoLand like the ZombiiU bundle

From the moment I sat down, I was surprisingly underwhelmed by the visuals. Instead of the crisp, detailed textures I've encountered this week on the PC version or other next-gen shooter titles, Battlefield 4 on PS4 looked soft and muddled. Wall textures looked half-finished, lacking some of the smaller material nuances or 3D variation. Environmental destruction was more extensive than Battlefield 3 and explosions would send larger chunks of buildings into the air, but once again, the particles looked dull. Weapon models looked great at the hip, but as soon as I raised them to look down the iron sights or scopes, imperfections became apparent.

Another contributing factor was resolution. While EA and DICE have not confirmed what resolution the game will run at on next-gen consoles, for the purposes of this demo, it was running at a resolution higher than 720p, but not 1080p. Though the difference between the two formats may not be recognizable to more casual players, after spending the week checking out games running natively at 1080p, it was readily apparent to me.
