Wii U Speculation Thread The Third: Casting Dreams in The Castle of Miyamoto
- Thread starter AceBandage
- Start date
Whatever. Just give me goddamn pikmin 3 by the end of the year. Considering they'll be launching close-ish to the holidays and they have titles like Darksiders and Ninja Gaiden in the bag for launch, I think they can afford to back off a little bit themselves. They have to really bring it by the end of the year though.
Ah something I forgot to say (strange in me nowadays XD).
Ideaman and me talked via pm and we "exchanged" info about wii U. I think that he has good info in some ways, but you have to understand that this info can be subjective too (for example in the perception that his "friends" can have about the machine), just like mine.
I'm not trying to legitimize him (only the mods can) but I think it can be interesting to hear what he wants to say (or his connections allow him to say).
As always if I can help him or correct him in some ways I'll try to do it.

This sounds promising enough, any indication given of when some new details may come?
By the way, lherre, I have a question you should be able to answer without breaking the NDA: Excluding the controller and its functions, do you personally feel Wii U incorporates something as revolutionary as what its predecessor brought when it was launched, this being a greater paradigm shift, or is the main focus from Nintendo's side preventing other interesting features from being implemented?
lherre, can you share some details about the audio DSP? Capabilities, buffers, maybe even a manufacturer? Most people don't give a fuck (and probably don't really understand how a DSP differs from a mere codec to begin with), but I worked in this field many years ago and am always curious about such things.

Hopefully a new IP from Monolith or Retro?
Apart from that, Nintendo hasn't had a good record in recent years(bar a few exceptions) when it comes to establishing "new IPs", so I wouldn't hold my breath.

if steel diver is an example of an effort to establish new IP then they should feel ashamed of themselves.
Well it's definately not that far fetched if we're talking about the 3 new IP's thing.
When they revealed the Wii at E3, they showed Disaster and Project H.A.M.M.E.R and when they revealed GameCube, they showed new IP's like Raven Blade, Kameo Elements of Power, Pikmin and Eternal Darkness.
The idea of Nintendo doing new IP's is not that unrealistic.
The article doesn't say there will be 3 new IPs by the end of the year, just that there are 3 new IPs in development and that nintendo will publish 4 games total by the end of the year. It also says nintendo will show 10-11 nintendo published games at E3. The new IPs might not be hitting until next year, though it's likely at least one will be a launch title. I only put DQX in there because I couldn't think of anything else. Who knows when that game is coming stateside...
It's Mario & Hayashida festival 
Another late GDC interview
An interesting part about how Mario is heavily linked to what new hardware bring to the table, from that you can continue to speculate about the new opus on Wii U
Concerning a mario level editor ! DO WANT !!
And this post concerning the unlikely Galaxy 3, and speculations on the kind of universe & gamedesign of Mario Wii U

They can't announce platforms. For all we know, NO UE4 FOR PS4, PS4 BOMBA

it takes time to get those big guns polished up and they are going to want to space them out
as long as Pikmin 3 does not end up being the major Holiday WiiU title I'll be happy if they have more than NSMBMii and Pikmin 3 as the AAA titles for 2012
the rest will all slip into 2013 why not since dungo comes out fall 2013 anyway so the really big WiiU titles need to be next holiday
I don't think that this a question of money. Rockstar just don't give a fuck and wants to sell as many units as possible.
Well...yeah? Nintendo have a little savings account which they've put a modest sum of money in each month. They've kept this up for about 150 years.
I was under the impression that they're talking about new IPs from Nintendo itself, not a third party exclusive.

The article's fine, his predictions, however, are not...
my wild guess is:
1 franchise to show up the controller potentials (let's call it Wii U Play)
1 franchise for the extended market (something casual on the vein of Brain Training / Wii Sports / Nintendogs.... and i'm betting more on a pet sim, it could work great with AR and a touch screen)
1 core franchise for core gamers (no clue on this one... what's miyamoto current hobby?)

Not buying there will ever be a level eiditor for the main Mario series.
I always said they don't want anyone messing with their "baby" as Nintendo has a huge ego there and wouldn't want anyone stealing their thunder and taking the focus away from the actual game they made themselves.
Excitebike???
Terrible example, was hardly a monumental franchise so no one would care if others modified that game.

that doesn't fit into the 2x = 5x equation at all. We have to solve for X.
I already did, x = 1.
I can totally see this. A franchise for each market of gamer.

New news?! The Mark Rein comments and....?
Most likely. I also think it's possible that monolithsoft could have a new franchise, or maybe retro. Whatever core franchise they show will most likely be in house though, crafted under direct supervision of Miyamoto's laser beam gaze.
lol, I'm intentionally trying to hold back on posting in this thread so I don't end up on the posting wall of shame again.

miyamoto is busy planting in his garden thinking up ideas for pikmin 3, what a waste.
Thanks
I hope it will alleviate further some doubts concerning my informations, after the wall of text of justification that i've written before. I tried to "make my informations" legit through lherre actually by talking with him since one week in private, as i didn't want to directly legitimate me because it could endanger my sources and i want to protect them. Myself, it's not the matter, the information is
And of course, as i said in my very first message, it's not 100% truth, it's second-hand knowledge, in a specific context, with a lot of variables, so you must take that with a bit of caution.
Now we can have more fun with less of this little bad thought that some are questioning my informations

totally agree...
but i don't really think we'll see all 3 of them at launch... we'll surely see something about them at E3, but i think they'll be released more likely in the launch window or during the first 6 months of the console life

one question and if you answer it correctly I'll believe you?
Is the WiiU HOT?
i'd be fine with some old info too... what did he say previously?
I've gotta say.. having no expectations for this week - especially in comparison with last week - is making this week much more satisfying thus far.

Only if you touch the GPU.
Miyamoto to make games based on Shoedini, Hoveround, Liberty Medical, and Snuggie concepts!
