Support NeoGAF

[onilink88]

After playing Might Switch Force I'm FIENDING for a high quality 2D game on the 3DS. The 3D effect makes them look incredible

Have a few screencaptures of Muramasa in 3D; it looks phenomenal. Would kill for a 3D port.

So that's the Tokyo street demo, eh? Pretty neat stuff. I weep that I might not get to see a Trauma Center/Team incorporate such mechanics, though.

There’s one thing I would like to know how Nintendo is going to tackle, and that’s FIFA (and similar games).

Single player, no problem. Online multiplayer, no problem. But local multiplayer with Wii Remotes will not sell this game. They can’t count on everyone buying Remotes AND Classic Controllers either. Seriously, how can this work on Wii U? They need the main line EA Sports games.. and it must play like the PS3/360 versions. "Wii-pointer PES" is great, but it’s not what the average gamers want, they want „normal” FIFA with all the features and gameplay that they’re used to. The only solution I can see is to release a smaller uPad without the screen (uController), but that would kill all Wii Remote support.. they can’t have uPad, uController AND Wii Remote..

Who cares about FIFA? I'm more concerned about Smash Bros. I can't play that series without any other controller besides the GC controller. Even using the classic controller makes my skill drop down by 40%. There better be some way of using GC controllers for the next Smash Bros. or else.

THIS.
I hope the Wavebird signals can pick up on the WiiU

Prepare yourself for disappointment

 

[ugoo18]

Indeed - it was a good way of showing off the differences between the systems. Given that the Wii U could be 10X+ more powerful than the Wii, showing off that kind of difference in such an obvious way would go a long way to a) shut up detractors b) get old fans excited.

I agree Samus would have been better, but Pikachu is more popular.

True but if they do that again Link's change will be amazing if that Zelda Wii-U demo is anything to go by.

Yeah, this is what I'm personally hoping for as well. As soon as they announced that GCN accessories won't work on Wii U literally all I could think of was "SMASH BROS. NOOOO" and I turned on the game and retried it with the Wii Remote + Nunchuk and the Classic Controller Pro and was all "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO".

We're all doomed.

Damm that reminds me i gotta get good with the Classic Controller or WM+N now before the Wii-U releases same thing in Mario kart but that will be easier.

One would think the CC Pro would be a fine replacement but it really really isn't (after having used it myself). The GC controller is PERFECT for Smash Bros. Can't play it any other way.

Probably not. :/

Don't they sell CC's that are shaped/set out like a GC controller (Im pretty sure i've seen one like that somewhere)

EDIT: Either that or GCN controllers that plug into the Wiimote like a Classic Controller.

Retro should handle Zelda and Zelda team should make third person Metroid. It would be good for the teams to shake up old habits. Koizumi should do whatever the hell he wants.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

Been playing through Crystalis for the NES lately and imagining how awesome a (still 2D) remake of the game would be on the Wii U! Update the graphics a lot with modern water graphics and particle effects while keeping the gameplay 95% the same and have all the inventory on the controller screen to make it less of a hassle when it comes to switching between elemental swords and such... the game would be a thing of beauty.

 

[butter_stick]

Retro should make something new.

It was already remade once for GBC by Nintendo Software Technologies...

[The Mana Legend]

The Punchout Wii developers should make a new StarTropics.

Retro should make new Mega Man when Nintendo buys the rights to the franchise in a year.

Monster games should make a new F-Zero.

 

[atbigelow]

That wasn't really much of a remake. It had slightly enhanced graphics and a botched storyline. And worse music.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Someone actually tracked back some comments I made about Konami recently, so the faucet for me is closed off for a little while.

What did you reveal again?

 

[Deguello]

One thing I've been milling around in my head that would deal with Nintendo's "new IP problem" comes from an opportunity presented by the fact that The Zelda guy said that Motion Controls will be in the future for Zelda. That's cool, SS was awesome, Want moire of it. But that leaves the skills of making a Zelda game pre-Motion Plus a little fallow.

But, hey, hire a bunch of new guys and just make a game using the old style of Zelda controls, but with new characters. Bam, instant New IP. (though really, nothing will shut those guys up unless Nintendo cancels Mario and Zelda forever, and that ain't happening.)

 

[A.KU.MU]

Retro should make something new.

Yeah... like Metroid Prime 4.

Spoiler

 

[TunaLover]

What did you reveal again?

Konami couldn't convice Kojima Productions to start Project Ogre on Wii U, or something like that.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Konami couldn't convice Kojima Productions to start Project Ogre on Wii U, or something like that.

I thought he said something about Castlevania, too, but maybe that was just a prediction.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Konami couldn't convice Kojima Productions to start Project Ogre on Wii U, or something like that.

Ahhhh yeah. That just happened, weird how fast that stuff travels.

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't done anything about Ubisoft always leaking stuff. Or maybe they have, it's been a while since the last French scoop...

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So there IS a chance Project Ogre could be on wii-u? Yesh!

 

[Terrell]

Konami couldn't convice Kojima Productions to start Project Ogre on Wii U, or something like that.

That says more about Kojima Productions than anything else. I mean, didn't they pawn off one of their own titles to Platinum?

That's right, I went there.

 

[TheExplodingHead]

Gameplay-wise, Platinum developing Rising is a huge improvement.

 

[maeda]

Gameplay-wise, Platinum developing Rising is a huge improvement.

Let's just hope Konami can convince Platinum to make a U version of Rising

 

[Hiltz]

Platinum Games can handle gameplay well but they need to improve their storytelling. Then again, the same can probably be said of Kojima Productions.

 

[Terrell]

Gameplay-wise, Platinum developing Rising is a huge improvement.

I can't dispute that. My point remains, though. They can't manage to design a hack-and-slash game. Couple that with their refusal to multi-plat a game despite being designed on an engine they built so they would STOP being a single-platform developer.

It just makes it seem like Kojima wants to do many things. But he can't. And multi-tasking his team is one of those things he can't seem to manage.

So at this point, I expect nothing from KojiPro on WiiU unless it's this new ZoE that he keeps talking about wanting to do. Which would have to be an exclusive because LOLmultiplatLOL.

 

[lherre]

thanks for the concern boys

 

[Lupin the Third]

thanks for the concern boys

Glad to hear all's well for ya!

 

[guek]

thanks for the concern boys

Spoiler

glad you're ok

 

[Freezie KO]

Let's just hope Konami can convince Platinum to make a U version of Rising

You mean I'd have to buy a Metal Gear game? Unsure of how I feel about this.

 

[EricDiesel]

Hey, Metal Gear is awesome. Absurd and mostly stupid, but awesome. And Metal Gear meets Ninja Gaiden's combat? Sure, why not?

 

[Raynes]

So there IS a chance Project Ogre could be on wii-u? Yesh!

 

[AceBandage]

So, somehow this page made it to GNintendo under the title "RUMOR: Project Ogre could land on Wii-U"

I've read it and the previous page a couple times and I can't see where RMC would get that.

 

[BY2K]

And now I fully understand why GNintendo is banned.

 

[AzaK]

thanks for the concern boys

Ahh welcome back.

 

[ugoo18]

Was there ever any confirmation or basis to the rumor about Project Offset coming to the Wii-U, i know the game was cancelled but if i remember correctly last year there was a rumor that it had been picked up by Nintendo or something like that.

We'll find out about some software functions that would be overshadowed at E3 like Netflix, Virtual console, or social network support. Any hardware updates or games will wait until e3.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I bet GDC will have the small tidbits, maybe about the OS itself and what will be on it or something, and then E3 will be 1-1.5 hours of laying out everything everyone needs to know.

I want a new MGS with MGS4 gameplay and an entire set of actual levels

It doesn't even need to Solid Snake

All I'm saying is that I'd like a game that plays like MGS4, and possibly has Shadow Moses and Solid Snake

Spoiler

and fix the CQC controls

didn't kojima say he'd like to make an MGS game where you play as the boss and the cobra unit during world war 2. Would be the bombbbbb.

 

[apana]

Retro Studios should make the next Final Fantasy game.

 

[BadWolf]

Nah, he just said it was an idea they had after MGS4/PW when they were thinking of what to do next, which ended up being Rising.

The fact that he told us about it probably means there's little chance of it happenning.
