Yes, issue 73 of Nintendo Gamer is already on sale. Issue 74 however with the Assassin's Creed III for Wii U feature will be released tomorrow.
Easiest way to get it probably will be through iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id451442315?mt=8&affId=1621074&ign-mpt=uo=6
Bring them some cake
I'll be visiting Austin in July for the Symphony of the Goddesses, so I'd be tempted to do that. I wonder what kind of cake they like? German Chocolate? Carrot? Tiramisu?

Joke aside, this indeed looks like Retro is doing a new FPS IP, the first one for Nintendo since Goldeneye/Perfect Dark from Rare.
I like how, in that quote, it references a mythological "xbox/ps3 demographic." As if they're some cartoonishly monolithic entity. What do they mean by that? 20something males obsessed with boobs and blood? Middle-schoolers desperately trying to look bad-ass? Middle-aged women who like to exercise with Kinect or Move?
It definitely bugs me when all Nintendo fans are summarized as X, and seeing it done to owners of the other machines kinda bugs me also.

Apparently, Ubisoft's "Your Shape" will come to Wii U

Maybe with a USB Camera for the system ? A stand to maintain the padlet and use its camera ?

Not really Pachter level bullshit:
If publishers don't support a platform, that platform won't have any (positive) effect on the stock price - it's an obvious and logical conclusion.
Ah come on...almost 3 months until E3 and it is already so hard.
So many hype trains, so much awesomeness to be yet so my disappoint in the making!
Certainly that was implied in the Iwata Asks at last year's E3. regarding Wii Fit.

Yes it's the more likely solution. Maybe this stand will be shipped with the system, or available with the games which required it. Or a way to put the padlet vertically without any additional stuff.
btw, this news about Wii U Your Shape may put some interesting lights to a small leak that i intended to do in april. There's maybe a news in the news if you like.
Some comments from Sakurai related to Pit, SB, 3DS and Wii U. Don't know what it says but its fresh. And in Japanese. If someone can translate... > http://www.gamememo.com/2012/03/22/3ds-wiiu-sumabura-pit/
I think it's basically stating that Pit will make an appearance in the future Smash Bros on 3DS + Wii U.
Don't know if it's good enough in terms of how much resolution/mpixels you expect from a built-in camera. But it's good enough for facial recognition.

This would be such a waste of talent. With Prime they've shown their skills as a developer for Action Adventures, not FPS. WiiU will get all the shooter games from 3rds now anyway. At least for quite some time.
75 days, and there's still so much that we don't know. I'm still struggling to see how they're going to fit it all into one show. If I get my wish, it'll be 90 minutes rather than 75. 20 minutes spent on 3DS items of interest at the beginning, and then 70 minutes of Nintendo Juicy bliss. Little-to-no blue ocean stuff this time around.
It's what I first thought but you never really know with online translations, depending the tool I use to translate it says one thing and the opposite. ^^
Even the 3DS camera is good enough for facial recognition.
Well they also did Geist on the Cube...

I'm really hoping it isn't some generic FPS with Retro and Nintendo's name slapped on it. I dunno why, but I just don't really have high hopes for this, I guess we'll see in the future.
Reading the above analysis about the Wii U not driving publisher sales, I'm wondering: has Nintendo said anything about making the development process more affordable for this upcoming generation?
I know that they made some notable moves regarding free middleware, but I'm slightly worried about them losing their superior position over the competiton regarding affordable development. After seeing so many studio closures from 2006 onward due to high development costs and associated unsustainable business models, I think Nintendo should keep a laser-like focus on this angle.
{Also, an E3 prediction: Nintendo will go for an element of surprise by showing either a teaser for the next Zelda title, or one for the next Mario Universe game.}

I've decided to stick with my iPad 2. Not quite sold on #3, and I'm trying to stick with this one until #5.. unless #4 has something absolutely incredible that I just have to have. My current one goes absolutely everywhere with me, and does a fine, fine job.
Not to mention right after launch we should, hopefully, have the next Call of Duty as well. If so Treyarch should just rip off whatever EA is doing with Ghost Recon Online as far as the touch screen menu interface is concerned.
Don't believe Rare is working on a FPS either for this reason. So many are already coming out and it will launch around the time of the biggest CoD as well. I do wonder if F-Zero is a possiblity given that they did help develop Mario Kart 7. It's been dorment for a while now and Retro has shown itself able to develop in different genres already. The spot would be open for a sometime on the Wii U since Mario Kart 7 just came out. Nintendo isn't likely to have 8 out for few years.

Could be worse, could be a generic Gears rip off. We could really do without that. If it is a FPS, then I wouldn't mind it being like Perfect Dark. That game was anything but generic. And the weapons in that game were so imaginative, and fun to use. It's one of the things I like about Conduit 2.
I don't recall Nintendo saying much about it. I suppose its because Nintendo has to bite the bullet now. Iwata did say that Nintendo isn't going to bother trying to get "drawn into the expensive tech race" with Microsoft and Sony. As this would put developers in the position of having to risk massive resources and long development times.

Exactly. There are different things that a person can focus on and I think too often the general application just leads to confusion.
That's why I changed because hardcore to a lot of people here is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I doubt we're going to see another Zelda until at LEAST the E3 following this one.
I'm okay with a new IP from Retro
I guess Zelda will continue to spin into mediocrity for a little while longer
EAD Tokyo 2 and Koizumi is our last hope
From gameswelt.de, a video interview of art Director Han Rhandawa : Darksider Wii U seems to be confirmed for launch...
Are we talking 1 or 2?
This worries me more than most things regarding next generation. I hope that Nintendo can convince developers and publishers that, yes, there is a better and smarter and non-suicidal way of running a business. I hope they can lead by example to show that not every game has to be a multi-million-dollar budget blockbuster that requires several million units sold just to break even. Nintendo has to hold-onto that high ground.
That was expected, though.
He says 2.
He is not allowed to give any details about this version, but he is pretty sure that this will be done when the Wii U launches.

Will 3D games (with glasses) be possible / likely on Wii U? I mean the PS3, and to a lesser extent 360, both have these. I'd like to see what the extra performance of Wii U could mean to 3D gaming with glasses.
(I don't mind wearing them, haven't minded since the SMS).
(I don't mind wearing them, haven't minded since the SMS).
Unless one of the Wii U's secret features is a 3D on the subscreen
2, eh?
Hmm.
I'll have to think about it. Maybe I can clear my mind by watching a movie.
Oh, look - Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is on. I've never seen the first one, but that might help me clear my mind a bit..

On the Wii U? More than likely. But I would think there's at least a possibility of a Zelda 3DS making an appearance, considering Ocarina of Time will have been out for a year already and that engine is just sitting there, waiting to be utilized. EAD typically has a small team break off from the larger development (in this case, Skyward Sword) in order to prepare for future projects, and if Grezzo offered asset support, they could at least have a trailer prepared.
Fingers crossed, anyway.
Anyone good with Japanese want to mention Medusa and Palutena as playable for Smash 4 on his twitter real quick?

I say Zelda 3DS is possible.

such unneeded hyperbole...
