I just wanna say that seeing is believing. Nintendo fooled me once with the Wii and as such i'm remaining very cautiously optimistic until E3. No bullshit. Competent online. Relevant third party support. The whole nine, man.
The NST revival really interests me. Anyone here have any idea what they are working on? Surely they aren't working on Mario Calculator 2.
I saw someone on GAF suggest the Donkey Kong Country franchise was shifted there...
Nintendo aiming for mature audience confirmed!
I think it was relayed yesterday or before that a lot of indie developers were talking about the Wii U during PAX.
One of the title considered unofficially for the future Wii U digital distribution service is Hell Yeah !, a project from the little parisian studio Arkedo

Did you even read that thread before it got locked?
I did. What was the problem?
I think it's because it was pretty much the exact same rumor as we heard before, and that thread is still on the front page.

Did the other thread quote the anonymous developer?
I dunno. I think they'll keep-up the hardcore output, but they'll up their level of casual/non-gaming focus. If they do it at E3 or another similar event, we'll get a peek at some psyches. Some fans will begin to act like jealous siblings, upset that Daddy is paying too much attention to their baby sister, "Casualita."
It was too good. And who knows? It may be possible. I'm incredibly skeptical of it happening, but thought that entertaining the possibility was fair game.You succumbed to the temptation

They actually stretch back to Gamecube launch with NTD.

The Playstation 3 doesnt account for all of those loses. It is a part of it, but far from the only thing.

Even if MS focuses only on Kinnect, MS will rely on third parties and Live to sell software and hardware.
I'm a huge fan of Yu Suzuki but, what I get from his interviews, is that he's really not interested in such projects anymore.
An interesting but non related to the Wii U interview of Brian Fargo concerning the success of the Wasteland 2 kickstarting
I just hope this new approach of funding and developing games will be involved, at least through Nintendo Network, for the Wii U.
Kid Icarus Uprising was in its own kind a fanpressurestarting project, if a lot of gamers and members of media haven't insisted at every showrooms and conferences since many years to know if Nintendo will make something of this franchise, we certainly wouldn't have seen the release of this game.
How about a community funding/probe/feedback pool/board/poll page where we could fund a Nintendo revival of an old IP, a new and original one, etc ? It would be very interesting, fresh, trend-making, it could create and nurture-to-the-point-of-selling-the-project-through-retail new software, gamedesign ideas, intellectual proprieties, new universes/backgrounds, characters, in a more reactive and less financial-risky way.

I've been out of town for six weeks. Did I miss anything?
Nothing of importance, no.
I asked a few pages back what you all thought about the kickstarter concept, and if anyone saw it as being significant as related to releases on Nintendo's upcoming hardware. No real responses.
I'd be game to put-up some money for good Wii U games. If there are any that are particular favorite genres or historical or fictional settings with certain gameplay dynamics, I'd be willing to put-up a really good amount of money over the course of the generation. There are certain genres of gameplay that are historically under-served on Nintendo home consoles, and this would be a promising means of addressing those insufficiencies. Especially if developers offer great donation bonuses; I particularly like the "Give X Amount and we'll name an NPC after you!" offers.

Does anyone know which team within Nintendo is responsible for developing the Software Development Kits?
So I'm reading something about Nintendo getting ready to announce a huge financial loss. I have a feeling we're going to hear some interesting news at the next Iwata investor's meeting about the Wii U lol.
All of this bad news can't be good for investors right now. Iwata may need to announce something news related on the 26th this month.

Yeah, there must be cool incentives for crowd-funding/kickstarting. In Project Cars for example, you can have opponents named after you, advertisements room reserved for you, etc.
And of course, you must have your name in the credits.

Wouldn't that just be multi-platform :/

Sony and MS execs put on fake moustaches and posed as anonymous devs claiming WiiU can't keep up with PS360. This is now widely accepted as fact.
OS/apps reserved RAM in WiiU is at least 512MB or more, for the time being (Ideaman).
Gearbox seems to be rather excited.
Vigil has now put out 3 statements. Two of them being WiiU > PS360. One says it's on par. Of course the latter is the only one given any credence.
Former Sega hotshot now working for Nintendo.

That is okay, if the rumor about the PS4 is real, the estimated cost for that machine is around 200 as well. (though that is without the ~$35 tablet controller)
Doesn't sound promising to me, but the way it's presented makes it seem plausible too.
I'd rather have Nintendo selling a cheaply made console for a cheap price. I can't imagine a $300 Wii U doing particularly well against $150 PS3s and 360s.
EDIT: Failed to keep up with the hype train. AGAIN.

Four GameCubes duct taped.
Funny part is that report saying how Nintendo cut production costs to please investors, and now there's reports that Nintendo is getting ready to announce a big financial loss. Seems like interesting timing.

Yeah expect Wii U news april 26th at Iwata's investors meeting.
Cutting production costs to maximize profits is Nintendos main concern with the Wii U. They are cutting costs in the Wii Us hardware to build back confidence in investors. Nintendo wants investors to view Wii U as a less risky proposition.
Why a manufacture company could have access to that info.?

Ye but it has a harddrive istead.
Really doesn't make sense if they are going to post a loss, we will see though, I think the rumors of the other consoles having low specs is more interesting than the Wii U having low specs.
Uh, no batshit insane monsterhouses anymore?
MS would go all out to please 3rd parties, that's what Alberto told us.

I think Nintendo has proven more than once (and to the chagrin of many) that specs don't matter but a few days ago I made a post wondering if the early troubles the 3DS had hadn't made Nintendo gun shy about the Wii U.
It could mean that they've made big changes to their plans since last E3 and console won't be aimed at recapturing the hardcore gamer anymore. I mean if the specs are really as low as some of the new rumors are then it can't be, and it's probably one of the smartest things they could do.
Don't know for sure, but i remember an article with low-brow logic that said they could afford to keep losing the same amount of money every year until 2055.

The expected $838 million year-end loss is two-and-a-half-month-old news, actually. It's from last quarter's results.
