Here's everything you need to know: http://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#download_rom

So Super Mario Bros. will be public domain by year 2061. Interesting.

TV Tuner size more or less, isn't it?

Spoiler

torne was pretty successful so yes

I could see some third party selling a TV tuner attachment for that screen. Very appealing for houses with only one TV. Or for those who would want to bring the TV with them into the kitchen, the deck, etc.

 

[BlackJace]

So, uh, what's going on guys? I already know about Beamdog putting down the Wii U, but anything else interesting?

their version of achievements/trophies are called Trophievements.

How rude.

 

[BGBW]

Reading this article on IGN about what could be in an F-Zero Wii U got me thinking about the play coins.

While the article mentions that maybe winning races might earn you Play Coins to unlock content because you can't carry your tablet controller around with you like the 3DS, I immediately wondered if maybe Nintendo would look at allowing Play Coins on the 3DS to sync to the Wii U. You get home and your coins are automatically transferred (Option of course) or you fire up the Play Coin area of the Wii U and can transfer them from the 3DS.

This would give even more reason to carry your 3DS with you.

/randomthought

Could be cool. I just want more games to take advantage of the coins first.

Could someone explain the difference between Yamauchi Nintendo and Iwata Nintendo? Yes I know the Wii/DS were obviously the turning point of the company, but I'd like to know in more depth how they were distinct in how the business was operated.

Why the hell would he post that now? Does he expect Nintendo's conference to be 2008 bad this year?

Yamauchi was like pre WW2 US.
Closed off, hated everyone, wanted to be completely independent, pissed people off.
Iwata is more like post WW2 US.
More open, tries to help out, even if it means disaster for them.

lol he is either doing it for the lulz, or just to point out that things can always go south. Both valid excuses.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Sigh nothing new... is the third thread still alive?

nothing new, this thread dissapoint me u__u

Two words.. stock holders.

I'm still iffy on what power other stock holders have when the majority of the stock is apparently held by current employees and the Yamauchi family.

So Super Mario Bros. will be public domain by year 2061. Interesting.

Unless they disney the law, which is probable.

For all we know he came across it as a suggested video like I did the other day.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

that's what what they want you to think

But it still hurts, man.

I know man I know. At least the Sony 599 was hilarious. This one was mostly cringe worthy.

[bgassassin]

Another nice find by Rosti.

It looks like they're pushing asymmetric local a lot. This is interesting, but we're exploring one of the areas where I want at least some strong element of "more of the same".

Also, my friends are very resistant to change. I need Nintendo to make truly wireless Classic Controllers for them to play with.

You would think they could just disable the screen or at least have a random static image or something for the controller and allow four to be used in that manner.

So, for the first one, basically it could be used for an interactive TV show? Doesn't Conan do this with the iPad?

*Reality show performer finishes their dance or song*

"Fans at home! Now is the time to vote! If you like "______" call 1-XXX, send a text to XXXXX, or vote from you Wii U controller now!

I can see it now.

That's not nice. Tuna has been posting and discussing since the first thread.

I dunno. Nintendo is sure money on the years when they have lots of secrets to drop; if anything, I'd imagine that new console years are the same, but on steroids.

Nayru knows they probably have enough for three conferences..

 

[radioheadrule83]

I think its good he posted that.

1) it's still funny

2) it'll be the perfect contrast to a launch year E3, which will be the complete opposite

It's irrelevant what I feel about the video but I think others won't like it very much.

 

[AzaK]

I'm still iffy on what power other stock holders have when the majority of the stock is apparently held by current employees and the Yamauchi family.

I'm a stock holder and I went to Tokyo to ask Iwata directly to hand over Wii U info to prove that it's going to make the $50 in gains I'm expecting. He kicked me in the nuts and put my head down the toilet. I came out with the understanding that I have less power than the tea lady.

*scrolls down*

*sees this image quickly*

*keeps scrolling*

I"m so desperate I'm trying to read hidden information into that post.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Hah, my friends will not want to play on a device that's not explicitly shaped like a sixth-gen controller at all. That, and three Classic Controller Ultimates would probably cost like $150 less than three Display Remote Controllers.

Would be interesting to see what the dates are for different parts of the world. SMB being public domain in one part but still illegal to download in another.

I'd like them to use a heavier plastic with a matte surface if they end up making another Classic. Other than that they can make it any shape they want.

Well, in retrospects, it's hilarious, but on the moment, man. A lot of people felt betrayed that day.

If Iwata did that, I'd hate to know what Yamauchi would have done to you.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'd like it to be made of PlayDough, it'd be the world's greatest customizable controller.

Yes, but then you'd be tempted to eat it.

They probably click, too.

It's probably public domain in a bunch of countries that have not signed onto the Berne Convention.

Now how would this look from the side?

That, and to remind you of the glory of the Gamecube.

Now how would this look from the side?

I'll do that in a bit.

 

[Redford]

Would not want. I just have a preference for concave.

Plus, they'd have to be raised up pretty high if they were going to be that diameter.

 

[Massa]

Anyway, emulators are perfectly legal.
It's the roms that are illegal.

Nintendo doesn't agree with that.

As for patents related to Wii U, here's the most recent I believe: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph...s1=Nintendo.AS.&OS=AN/Nintendo&RS=AN/Nintendo
.

pdf link here http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2012/0088580.html

Have they always drawn the Wii U controller like that in patents?

other nugget from the patent?...

Note however that the touch panel is not limited to those of the resistive type, but may be a touch panel of any type including, for example, a capacitive type, etc. The touch panel 52 may be of a single-touch type or a multi-touch type.

Maybe I am wrong but I thought the Wii U touchscreen was only resistive.... perhaps it was updated?
