Gee...
I wonder why.
Best new series from this generation hands down.
As long as we exclude Gears of War and Uncharted and Mass Effect.

Ghost Trick was the actual answer.
Still haven't played it unfortunately and I'm reluctant to buy it on ios
you never played valkyria chronicles
edit: i never played the psp spinoffs
edit 2: i want the skies team to make something for consoles again
edit 3: valkyria chronicles 2 or skies 2 would be fine
if ghost trick was a series, there'd be more than one entry, wouldn't there? otherwise i would have totally mentioned mirror's edge. that thing is the best part of this generation.
I'm playin it right now on ios, it's amazing

Played and beat (the original, not the PSP games).
Loved it, but NMH had so much more charm and awesome.

Yup, one of the first things I thought of when seeing the U controller was using it as a Camera Obscura. And having a Pip-Boy in the palm of your hands would also be full of Instant Win with a large topping of Awesome Sauce.
And I think it's about bloomin time that Nintendo came up with an actual name for the U controller too.

Too short of a game if you ask me. Beat it in 4 and half hours.

So, when talking about launch/launch window titles, don't forget Pokemon!
Not an MMO, but the console battle simulator that comes with each mainline RPG.
By the time Wii U comes out, it'll be around two years since BW were released, and the traditional 3rd Version (the Crystal/Emerald/Platinum equivalent) will be dropping in September this year (possibly for 3DS).
The sim is relatively over-due and although probably originally developed for the Wii, it's almost certainly switched over to the Wii U.
Who knows, maybe it'll even incorporate some of that NFC stuff into its design...

Ever since we hit February, I've gotten stir crazy about what to expect and this is pretty much my request to anyone in the know at current. :lol
I really don't know where to ask this, but this is the coolest and most active Nintendo thread here, and I don't really want to make a thread for this so bear with me, please.
Is there any way to know if my Wii Remote+ is a counterfeit model? I was pretty sure it was an original one but I have my doubts now. I bought Red Steel 2 and the speaker makes a nonstop buzz sound, even if I lower the volume completely. A bit of googling seems to indicate that it's because it isn't an original controller but I didn't find many similar cases. This is the only game where this happens, I bought this remote a month ago with Skyward Sword and WiiSports Resort. Now, the remote works well, aside for this issue on Red Steel 2 but I'll be pretty pissed if this isn't an original one as I got this from a retailer I've been buying from for a long time. The box says it comes with 2 AA batteries and it didn't come, and now that I think about it, it seems very plasticky, but maybe it's me being paranoid.
Here's a couple of pics with it and the box, can't take more right now, anything I should be looking for?

One middling step closer to her being in Space Channel 5 Part 3 to replace Michael Jackson. Admit it, Space Gaga would be hilariously awesome.

I'm actually most interested to see what kind of art style Nintendo can pull off with a more powerful console, considering how stellar SS's was. I'd like a stylized Metroid more than a Crysis-style Metroid, I think (Although Crysis looks amazing.)
But when it comes to gameplay, more than Zelda and Metroid I'm looking forward to an excellent "bridge" game. My buddies, my wife and I all enjoyed NSMBWii immensely. Not sure what was with all the hate. It's one of the only games I've gotten my wife to play more than a couple hours with me. That, and Wii Fit.
Think there will be another early-life strong-selling peripheral like the Balance Board?

Looks legit to me, but I got the one that came with SS, so I can't say for sure. You could probably contact Nintendo customer support about it.
Your "Home" button is blue instead of white, unfortunately. Looks like a fake.
EDIT: Though I know nothing about the fakes. All I'm saying is the home button is suspicious.
EDIT 2: The power button is also white instead of red.
don't... know... if serious

Which becomes irrelevant when you consider the best thing about the game is time trials.
Guess which IP between NMH and Ghost Trick WON'T come back, next-gen.

Souls is the best new series this gen, not debatable.
The one owned by Capcom, obviously. I really don't know what's happened to them.... it almost makes me miss Inafune, as crazy as that sounds.
Pokemon Snap 2!! Its made for that controller and that panoramic idea

Grasshopper seems to be unaffected by sales flops while Capcom is Capcom.

All good ideas though. Hoping for a worldwide released Fatal Frame U. Looks like Nintendo is handling the series now...

NMH has been replaced by Lollipop Chainsaw.
How does Grasshopper sustain itself with so many flops like NMH and SotD? Not saying they're bad games but they hardly lit up the charts. Lollipop Chainsaw looks to be another bomba as well.

They don't set their budget phaser to "stupid".
edit: NMH sold perhaps 400000 copies. At an ASP of $30, that'd be twelve million dollars gross. Maybe they get a million of that. Is it crazy to think they might be able to make a game for substantially less than a million dollars?
ShockingAlberto
Member
Because
A) NMH wasn't a flop in the perspective of the budget.
B) They work with publishers to pay them regardless of sales landmarks. So they won't become super-rich if they get a hit, but they put food on the table.
C) Grasshopper works on a lot more projects than you would think. Fatal Frame IV, for example.
LOLno.
As excited as I am for it, cuz it looks like it could be fun, the games industry doesn't need another zombie franchise. It's getting out of hand.
Gimme my fucking crazy assassins killing each other plskthxbai.

So a Metroid game is almost a sure bet for the system.
I can already see the touch tablet being used for maps
and also using it to "scan" the environment. It could
also be used as the interface/controls for Samus's ship.

I'll keep an eye on Lollipop Chainsaw, but right now it feels like something that rather should have been a special stage or two in No More Heroes 3. (Which hopefully is already in the works for WiiU, I neeeed it)
Ah, it makes sense when you put it that way. Didn't know they did contract work for games like Fatal Frame IV.
Just curious but do you guys roughly know the budget of NMH?
Didn't Suda kind of confirm the plan to develop a No More Heroes 3 for Wii U already? I can remember an interview where he hinted at it.
EDIT:
Yeah, found it and corrected my statement

Suda says a lot of things. Marvelous has not had much luck with the last three games and I doubt Ubisoft is eager to bankroll a new one.

Yeah, he kind of hinted it unofficially.
They asked him whether he was going to develop the third episode of the series on WiiU and he answered yes, of course or I'm looking forward to it, something like that.
But NMH should be the Grasshopper's most profitable (own) game/IP or did I miss some others? Plus it seems like he asks the PR girl in the video for permission to talk about it. Some positive signs for me. Though I could live without a NMH3, because NMH2 ended it pretty well.
Well, here's hoping good things with his work with WB Games.
More than anything, though, his problem is mainly who publishes his games in JAPAN.
Marvelous and ASCII are not exactly in a position to really promote, and they were the ones who published the vast majority of his work. The only real deviations from that were killer7 (which was promoted heavily enough to make him a celebrity in the industry in the first place) and Fatal Frame IV.
Lollipop Chainsaw has backing from Kadokawa Shoten in Japan, who, while not quite the biggest game publisher ever, are a major media conglomerate in Japan now (buying many smaller game publishers including ASCII, opening a movie studio, etc.) and have the ability to really push a game if they feel that there would be a payoff for doing so (they own enough magazines and TV spots to promote it in). So we'll see how that turns out.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
I was having a similar discussion with brain_stew several months ago (yes, the gpu can, and most likely does, keep other things in there besides fb), until he reminded me there was the uPad screen to be serviced (1.5MB minimum). So yeah, there's a sufficient number of 'distractors' that would hamper 2xMSAA@1080p.

Well of course not, since MMV owns the franchise.

That's an option. It does take an extra fb clear but given the small size of the uPad fb that should not be a problem. What might be a problem is the fact you'd have to wait for the main fb to get resolved to main ram, before you can start with the small fb. Same with the next frame in the main fb. With partitioning you don't need that.
Is the 1T-SRAM really necessary for backwards compatibility though? I'm really not into emulation at all, but Dolphin manages most games just fine in PC's without low latency memory pools. Most problems Dolphin has don't seem to have anything to do with low latency memory access either, from what I understand.

Fucking Dolphin, it has warped the minds of everyone regarding emulation.
I'm tired of reading "But Dolphin does this and Dolphin does that". Dolphin doesn't emulate anything, not accurately at least. It's just a hack on top of another hack. You can't load a game on Dolphin unless someone has made a bunch of game specific hacks that makes it play correctly.
