Wii U Speculation Thread The Third: Casting Dreams in The Castle of Miyamoto

In the vein of DK64? I'd take a waggle-free DKCR2 with shameless nostalgia exploitation and the ability to choose from several different characters (Donkey, Diddy, and Dixie at the least) over that.

I did love DKCR, it's actually one of my favourite 2D platformers, but I've always prefered 3D platformers/adventure games. DK64 wasn't perfect, but it was a fun game and with some improvement, could be very cool (Banjo-Kazooie was definitely a better example of a 3D adventure game). Imagine a Mario Sunshine-like game but without the FLUD gimmick and set in the Donkey Kong universe.

Plus I still think a DKCR game on 3DS is possible.
 
Was Netflix for Wii U already confirmed? If not:

Senior Software Engineer - Game Consoles
Netflix - Los Gatos, CA

The Nintendo team develops the Netflix application that runs on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS. With over 25 million customers, we are using our virtuous circle of device ubiquity, accelerated customer growth, and content buying power to grow internationally.

Semi-confirmed, but good to see a real confirmation. It seemed more like common sense than anything since Netflix is on everything these days.

All I hope for is we can watch Netflix movies on the controller's touchscreen. I think it would be neat.

Seems like common sense, really.
 
I hope Netflix launches here in Australia before the Wii U's launch. Stupid Netflix and their stupid "We don't allow peasants who can set up VPN nyeeeh.". -hmph-

Actually most of EAD Tokyo has been working on something else since SMG2, only a small portion of them did 3D Land.

YES! It'll probably still just be NSMB Mii at E3 but my very cautious yet very gleeful optimism for Super Mario Universe sometime within the first year of release has just been greatly heightened.

I thought that EBgames listing of Donkey Kong Country 3DS was proven false?

It was. I was just trying to think of a 3DS game they might reveal (besides a Zelda game), and thought DKC was a good candidate. Plus the success of DKCR makes more DK games likely.

Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid Rising, and Bioshock Infinite being ported to Wii U seemed like common sense, but developers are already making excuses on why those shouldn't happen.

Sometimes companies can surprise you with things that come as common sense to the rest of us lol. I mean releasing 3DS without a second analogue stick? Really?

They probably are just focused on finishing what they've started on PS3/360 and focusing all of their resources on that.

....and perhaps NDAs.

I'd like to smack Kojima in the face with my 3DS. "Hey, why'd I give you money for Snake Eater 3D then, hmmmm?! I'm using the circle pad and buttons sooooo much that the "awkward" giant touch screen between them keeps screaming at me that maybe I should've bought a more "UNIQUE" game!"
 
I just heard about NG3's 3/10 from IGN. Dammmmn. That's kinda chipped away at my hype. I'll still pick it up on launch day.

And Kojima's quote about an original U game? ZoE reboot or a good MGS exclusive. Thank you. -tips hat-

Who says anything about MGS Rising? Wasn't Kojima talking about his next game? I don't think that Platinum would be stupid enough to say no if Konami asked them to do a port of the game. They did ask Kojima about Project Ogre, he said no.
I actually think it will bite the publishers in the ass later. While Ubi, Activision, EA, Warner and Capcom will enjoy the fruits that will come from the seeds they will plant during the launch window, everyone else will hastily be trying to integrate Wii U in their dev pipelines. It's not rocket science, launch is a great time to capitalize on games craving fans. I mean Capcom shipped a million copies of SSF4 3DS. Even if the first round of games will sell half of what PS 3 versions will sell, that's still some relatively easy money. These people are just reluctant to spend money and resources to integrate Wii U into their dev pipelines. I wonder why...

No! No more fucking MGS games, put that series on vacation. A new action game for next gen is better :)

Holy crap haha! Well that's one Wii U game to scratch off the hype list. The ironic thing is Team Ninja said they would use Wii U's power to its full potential on this game.

I love how we've been calling the next 3D Mario "Mario Universe" since we learned the name "Mario Galaxy". And now that the next console is called Wii U...

It is inevitable.
 
Oh God, watching some Limbo gameplay, the game isn't gross, just horrifying. Kids drowning themselves, using corpses on trip wires, -shudders-.

Yeah the NG3 scores aren't too promising. A shame since the last NG game I played was NG1 and I loved the hell out of it. I was pumped for the new one. Blech.

I just hope tecmo doesn't blame the platform if a bad game performs poorly.
 
It hasn't really crossed it off my list, I'm just now cautious, seeing as Team Ninja seem to be really pushing Wii U it my get a little improvement, they have anywhere up to November.

Also, when Team Ninja said pushing the U's limits, trust them. DoA:D looks phenomenal (and jiggly.)
 
That Zelda demo.
hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng hurry up nintendo

Also, that leaked list (lolyeahrite) had Okami HD on it?
HUH
HUH

It's such a hilarious list. I just...I want to know what was going through the mind of the person that wrote it up.

Were they thinking, "Alright...what sounds believable but super exciting at the same time?"

Or was it more along the lines of, "Let's see if those dumbasses on the internet eat this up. Oh god, no one's going to believe this shit! Ok, just one more dream game and...done!"

Or maybe just a "I'm going to be so famous!"
 
My excitement continues to build. Im a pc and ps3 guy right now. I was a Xbox fan. Moved on since they abandoned exclusives. Im so ready for the next gen to be now. I feel that Wii U will deliver for the hardcore.

Yeah lol. That site was approaching their 1 year anniversary so they probably wanted a big attractive story to celebrate it.
 
nothing will matter after WiiU launch, I think even if this thing power is just level with 360/PS3 the main way this will be ignored is saying but the chip has to run two screens!

and that will prove true running two screens takes lots of power

but what will make the WiiU huge will be the gameplay...

I was playing San Andreas last night on my macbook when you press V to change camera views if you are in a car or bike one of the viewing angles looking like a bird's eye view or helicopter cam view. Imagine having a view like that during a chase mission?

your HD TV has the Main normal view mode while the pad has he helicopter view of the chase mission. You'll never get lost chasing someone

So all in all when gameplay on two screens really starts to shine people will shut up just like the DS overcame its low power points and sold like hot cakes. WiiU has a chance to be a monster regardless of not having the same level of power as PS4/720

I WILL BE SHOCKED! If SONY and MS wait a year or two to copy the second screen thing.

yeah i think Nintendo has to dedicate all of their development to FPS and mature games where blood splatters on the screen in order to get the developers backing and win over the fans again. cuz what better way to put yourself as an equal with developers nowadays but to make FPS? i mean, they ARE the genre that made gaming...

Honestly, I expect them to stick to their excuses. And when they see other publishers like Tecmo ride the WiiU gravy train, they can expect upper management at their publishing companies to come smack them and their middle managers around and breathe down their neck for being pigheaded morons and making it look like they're leaving money on the table.

Freaking out about this IGN score is ridiculous. They're doing it to seem more "hardcore" than other journos by pandering to the pre-existing NG fan base who have been shitting on it since the reveal at E3. Pay zero mind to IGN's reviews, as you normally should.
 
ISHFOISEHOISVIOERHIGS. So pissed about NG3 apparently being shit. Last time I said that it was with Duke Nukem: Forever, and well...
Also, tell me. What's your reactions to the villain (those who have finished). He looked kickass in the promos so, should I chuck the hype in the bin? D:
 
Im not a huge Crytek fan. I do trust that they know hardware and they said they liked what Wii U is coming up with on the hardware end. I for one believe them. So time will tell whats going on. Then the Gaffers can shut up and stop speculating. lol
