How is Skyward Sword doing bad? I thought it sold a few million worldwide already?

It did. It's probably somewhere between 3.5-4million, which is respectable. To all those wanting to change it into Darksiders/Elder Scrolls/LTTP (of which you all say you're sick of the formula anyway) ... why? Those games and series' already exist. Let Zelda team do what it does.

Hmm, so Apple is making a major announcement on Wednesday. So what if the announcement is a joint Apple/Nintendo announcement that the iPad 3 will have circle pads and buttons on the sides, and will work as an upgraded Wii-U controller? That way Nintendo could claim that their console's resolution is BETTER THAN HD (rumors have the iPad 3 screen resolution at 2048x1536). This would explain why Apple chose to do their announcement smack dab in the middle of the GDC schedule.

Clearly this isn't going to happen, at all... but why in the hell would you need a tablet with such a high resolution? That's crazy unnecessary on a capacitive screen.

Hah...what if indeed...

I said pages and pages ago that it would be great if nintendo allowed apple to have their dedicated channel on the wii u. Some people thought that was a terrible idea but eh *shrugs*

Apple likes its walled gardens just as much as anyone else.

Ridiculing somebody's work before anybody has as much as seen it is a bit rich even for gaf. Developers might have perfectly valid technical difficulties even when generally 'up-porting' something. What some non-technical staff might have said does not necessarily void such a scenario and make it good only for laughs. Let's stay civil, people.

Yep, this.
 
wooohhooooo, fresh news soon !

Well, not so fresh & exclusive & gamebreaking & worldshattering & universechanging, but still !
 
Can we forbid people from giving meaningless hints and teasing from now on?

I'm getting sick of it. Big time.

Well, it's a speculation thread. So I can get away with it :)

But hey, at least the temperature isn't cold!

two things.

1. Skyward Sword is really not doing that great globally
2. Some of the GDC Wii U titles are pretty hot

Haha, there were no clues there. It's just cool to see how things have improved since E3. The controller does spark some creative ideas when teams have the time and budget to play around. I think it'll have a good launch lineup (better than 3DS for starters). Though it's still too early to really tell what'll hit launch vs launch window

for those of you who keep asking, this is what harker said.
 
Good news everyone! I now have a solid internet connection! Let the re-hype begin!

Also, this teasing from IdeaMan and John harper had better be worth it!
 
It was just meaningless teasing, once more. We won't hear anything until E3 and people will just barge in here, telling us they know things, but they won't tell us and laugh.

And it's starting to get on my nerves.

By2k is about to shank someone for the betterment of this thread. Stop teasing or you'll pay.
 
Hey, it's not a "you'll say wow news" huh, i just warned you while translating a part of the article :p

A canadian french article about the Wii U being the center of interest of GDC attendees

The teasing & hype-building part:

"Since the opening of GDC Monday morning, It's the Nintendo Wii U which is usually in the heart of conversations, notes the media monitoring agency Clara, which closely follows the show in order to see from it the main trends. "Of all the subjects analyzed, it's Nintendo and the next Wii that generate the most interest of the developers attendees", noted the agency in a statement.

that

Harker previous tease

= Wii U positive news, more possibilities of leaks (maybe not images or spec sheet, but interesting bit of data concerning their development process on this new support, some of their ideas concerning the padlet, etc.), good impression & anticipation building in the professional circle.

I do agree with this.

Either tell us what you know or shut your pie-hole about it. Info-dangling has the same effect as intentional trolling sometimes, and we all know what the MSRP for that is...

You and Terrell been hanging out together?


A response to someone asking "who is John harker".

Someone who should have kept his mouth shut if he couldn't be bothered to mention if what he knows about is behind closed doors or not.

"OH GUYZ I KNOW SOMETHING AMAZING BUT CAN'T TELL YA" -> 20 pages of Speculation -> Nothing -> "OH GUYZ I KNOW SOMETHING AMAZING BUT CAN'T TELL YA" -> ...

Damned hype cycle.
 
Shovelware is a *necessity*
You have the highest number of consoles sold, you get mountains of shovelware. That has never changed and it will never change until it becomes way too expensive to develop it.

You know when you don't get a lot of shovelware? When your console sells like shit. And who wants that?
