But I want to believe!
I'd buy the WiiU version just so the map can be constantly displayed on the controller screen and stop being a hassle. Instantly the superior version.

actually TS4 is more apt considering it's apparently been in development forever and we haven't seen shit outside some art. Versus 13 has only been in 'full' development since the release of FF13. And we've seen plenty of gameplay already.
Hm I don't recall seeing it before 2008. Was it really in development for that long?
Regardless, we're probably not going to see it released in a long time.
Oh lord, can you imagine.
lol questioning this guys logic is like asking why Justin Beiber has a job

well that's when the art was leaked, but it implied that the art has already existed for some time otherwise some dude wouldn't put it in his resume lol. Which means development probably dated back and even more, then died and picked up at random times from then to now.
I still would still put Versus above it as a Duke Nukem qualifier. I mean we might see something this E3 regarding TS4
Are you really that eager for another classic GTA, on your Wii U ? This is what the system inspire you ?
IT'S IDEA TIME !!
Imagine the same peripheral as used in this project, but for a surf/kayak/sea sports title, with awesome wave effects, sexy girls & chill out music. You would attach the padlet on the handle, and transform it to a real paddle, and control the badass grim protagonist, an idealist and lonely surfer girl, bitter against the society and who prefer fishes to mankind, with movement of the peripheral in front of your tv. The DRC would play water sounds of course ! Add an alien invasion surprising twist at stage 5, featuring some nasty cyber-sharks mounted with lazors, and you'll have to stun them with the same paddle, used as a hammer, while your friend control the board direction thanks to the wiimote.
It will be called: THE WAVE RIDER !

Don't say that about haptics yet.. it could still be a reality, and I'll keep on hoping until it is categorically ruled-out!
Yep. Nintendo still has a few things up their sleeves. Let's just hope this feature one of them.

I think with the way the internet / twitter is now we will basically know the final specs of Wii U at least a week before E3.
Was it a french site that leaked 'Project Cafe' before last years E3, im sure that was at least a week before the event.

I've learned from a scoop earlier in this thread that wanting haptics and being potentially disappointed in its absence is a Justin Bieber level failure of logic, so it's apparently totally beyond the realm of reason.
I'm getting the impression that the "last surprise" on the controller will just be pulse-sensing.
But at least that will leave us open for a groundbreaking "Are U Dead?" title.
But seriously, I'm totally on the HapHype boat. You guys have seen my master Wii U purchase equation, right? That one feature alone is worth a hundred bucks to me (well, if it's the Senseg electrostatic stuff and not the tiny motors stuff).

Posted a thread about it, but I think it could (potentially) be related to Wii-U:
Ubisoft's Innergy has been completed. I could potentially see this being shown at Nintendo's E3 2012 conference along Vitality Sensor/Biomoetric Feedback Nintendo has been working on.
Edit:
Link.
Sounds like Nintendo Ninja's to me.

I agree with you there. They are probably looking at GTA like they looked at Resident Evil for Gamecube and will do any means necessary to get it. Not that I think they'll get it exclusively (even timed), but if it doesn't show up on the system at all then the Wii U definitely has problems. Not just because it's a big game people want, but because it would be a symbol that 3rd parties aren't on board.
As long as it runs / looks better on Wii U, or has some meaningful exclusive content or really interesting use of the tablet screen, it will be a big win. If it's not there (and assuming it gets announced on other platforms at E3) then everyone's gonna wonder what kind of support this thing will have after all.
wow i'm sry i missed this. thanks

I have not seen your purchase equation. Can I take a look at it?
Also is it true that they only have one feature on the controller left to reveal? I'll gladly take both Haptics and the Pulse Sensing. I want my Eternal Darkness 2 (hope it's one of the titles being developed) experience to be amazing.

Ohh, the reason Ubisoft are so supportive of the Wii U could be down to the shared vision they have on this technology.
So, Retro could be behind an Eternal Darkness title which makes use of this sensor whilst Ubisoft may launch with an exclusive Wii U fitness esque title.

how many hours left until we get some numbers from Nintendo's Finacial reports?

Pretty much what I'm thinking, except Silicon Knights will be developing Eternal Darkness and Innergy is more of a relaxation-aid software.
Do Silicon Knights have the power level to be developing such a title?
I'm low on candidates for who else could be, Retro seem like good general all rounders for these kind of titles. Unless Nintendo is doing something crazy and getting the Amnesia developers on a port/exclusive title.

does anybody remember reading this article about nintendo prohibiting developers from utilizing two padlets at the launch of the wii u?
http://www.01net.com/editorial/546244/la-wii-u-acceptera-plusieurs-tablettes-mais-pas-au-lancement/
it seems the controller is more costly than most anticipate it to be.

I hope to God that Retro isn't working on ED. I want a new IP.
Don't remember seeing this but I hope they're able to use two now.

I'm sure they would get some help from Nintendo like they did on the first one. Besides, Denis Dyack has said he is developing their most requested title/going back to their roots which only could be Eternal Darkness 2 or a new Legacy of Kain (which is pretty much out of the question considering Silicon Knight's relationship with the owner of the I.P.).

Those are Ubi ninjas, they are also really strict when it comes to NDAs.
O.Zen is currently only coming to PC, Mac, and iOS. A Wii U version could work, but I don't see its appeal. O.Zen is entirely aimed at the casual audience, which is probably not buying a Wii U at launch.
Well, thinking about it, it does make kind of sense. This is software you want to play while being relaxed ("Breath! Play! De-stress"), so it's well suited for portable platforms, even if they are linked to a console (as it's the case with the Wii U tablet).

If Bloomberg Businessweek is correct about the time of the earnings release, the whole shebang ought to start in fourteen hours.

Keep in mind that the earnings release itself is 15 or 16 hours before the investor briefing. There's unlikely to be any Wii U news in the former, unless there's something as big as the name being changed or (god forbid) launch being delayed into 2013.

That's all I noticed (though I've been brain overloading today). Neither Wii U specific, but both could be related to the console (if the former isn't, then I need to recruit one of your UKians to storm Crytek UK).

That I have no idea about. I heard that Silicon Knights was among some if the first teams to get Wii-U dev kits, but you might want to ask Wsippel about that because he knows those type things.
I would think that they would want to have the title release alongside or close to debut of the Biometric Feedback technology (if it actually is apart of the controller/released as vitality sensor accessory) which could be next year considering Innergy is slated for then, and that would point to an accessory release.
This is all speculation of course.

Yeah, that's why I wrote "whole shebang", as the earnings release could provide some new information (release schedule, small remarks etc.) as well. But the briefing will surely happen on the 27th of April; a day after the earnings release, as it has been before.
Although I loved the first Eternal Darkness, it's a stretch to think that Nintendo is especially excited about getting a sequel out there, with its sales and all. Seems like there would have to be a more compelling reason to resurrect the franchise.
Talk about the vitality sensor coming back or somehow being incorporated into the Wii Tablet - that makes the project make a little more sense, considering the insanity effects of the game.
As for the expense of the Wii tablet and telling developers not to develop with 2 or more in mind, I think that changed a bit after the last E3 showing with everyone wanting the ability. Even if it's too expensive to buy on it's own, having a friend with a Wii U being able to come over and use his tablet would be a nice thing.
I don't think many multiplayer applications would make much use out of showing different perspectives per person though - seems like rendering all of that data would hit the graphics pretty hard. Just thinking back to 4 player split screen games in the past and how graphics became a lot simpler during those modes. But map screens, play selection, and quiz games and the like, sure. It might not be the most used feature, especially if N's not really behind it, but we'll see.
I'd be okay with this.

To me Wii-U makes a ton of sense (which you of kind of stumbled upon) especially considering you could use it in bed. Obviously it's not currently slated for it because nothing is that wasn't announced at last year's E3.
As for iOS, how exactly would that work? Would you download the software and have to buy the accessory somewhere before you could play? That seems a bit much to ask... A Wii-U version would come with the accessory or it might not even need one considering the technology might be built into the controller (I'm still holding on to that one).

Oooooh, I just realized that my bed is technically about ten feet away from where my Wii U is expected to go. There's a floor in the way, though, but maybe…
I lose enough sleep with a smart phone next to my bed. With a DRC available while I'm trying to sleep? I'll never be unconscious again.

I would not. As it is there's absolutely nothing going for the Wii, no need to extend that into next year.
I don't think Nintendo could afford this. I'm pretty sure they wanted it out in June (initially) so there would appear to be (weak) Wii support as well as a new console to keep investors happy. If it gets delayed to 2013, their X-mas season would suffer horribly.
As far as I know this is already the case for some of the third party titles in the launch window (AC3, for example)
2k resolution...
Actually, the Wii U GPU can technically support 2K resolution. Heck, maybe even 4K depending on the lineage of the original base chip. That's why when Sony inevitably tells you that the PS4 can do 4K, technically it will be true.
Games rendering anywhere near that, however? Your GIF is appropriate.
The Wii U has an NFC reader built in.

At the last one, Nintendo revealed some Nintendo Network details, including that the accounts are per-user, not per-console. That was pretty big. There were also some game releases.
But the last one was a quarter where Nintendo made profits, and it was just a regular quarter. Tomorrow, it's a report for the whole year, and Nintendo will be reporting their first even yearly loss since they went public, so they would have even more impetus to give out some optimistic data. We'll probably see them trumpet how the 3DS is outselling the NDS on a launch-aligned basis, but they almost certainly will have to face a barrage of questions asking them to show why they think their console strategy is going to succeed.
Nonsense. They're releasing a Pikmin game in June!!
I'm actually interested in this, even though it's old, as I never got around to trying out Pikmin, and I hear this version was the best.
Anything to avoid a 3DS-type launch, if need be. I want to trust 3rd parties to have stuff ready, but eh...
could it render a wii game (or a game from any gen before) at this resolution?
