Take that wind sock off yo head, son.
lol, exactly!Zelda needs to be cyber steam punk set in a futuristic classical era drawn in an anime style and look realistic.

And thats why E3 is gonna be the shit.I'm pretty blown away how games like Dark Souls looks for an open world game with tons of things going on in the world. Even skyrim looks quite good, not as much stuff going on in it to me but still looks great. I use those as examples because they're open world and still manage to look great. Now imagine what a game like Mario could potentially look like...which isn't really open world and has a console that is stronger than last generation...
....it was a trick question. You can't picture it. No one can![]()
You, what is truly sigh worthy, is that journalist and critics and core gamer have already decided that WiiU is totally underpowered and that Zelda demo is nothing special at allI WANT a Zelda with the same style of that tech-demo... It is simply amazing... All the details, the lightling... Imagine a full game like that. I hope that they don't make a cell-shaded Zelda and they do something like that demo. And if it was a launch title, WiiU would sell like candy.
For 3D Mario, I think Nintendo's focus is on performance, not super minimalist graphics for maximum clarity and performance (this has been the focus of Mario Kart). Galaxy 3, or whatever Nintendo is cooking, will probably perform similarly to Galaxy and at 720p. And it will, of course, make crazy good use of the hardware available for really big things.
I hate to say stuff that might come across as snide and condescending, but Nintendo-only gamers who don't buy other systems really wont know what hits them when it comes to the Wii U. It's a scary awesome new world for Nintendo's IPs and pretty exciting. If they deliver game engines and assets that make excellent use of the hardware, you're going to see Metroids, Marios, Zeldas and more looking like nothing you've seen before.
I'm curious to see how NSMB Mii ends up looking. As much as I hate the art direction, I don't expect it to look like last year's demo. That was using assets ripped straight from NSMB Wii. It would be tremendously disappointing if that's how the game looked, and it ran at 720p with no anti-aliasing :/.

Do you think that we may see an updated tech demo of Zelda on Wii U? Or should we assume that Nintendo shits on techdemos and just shows real games?

Yea I can see that having an effect like castle crashers. co-op goodness.I want a "new" Zelda in the style of AttP aka four swords adventures with full online integration.

This looks beautiful. I'm super excited to finally play a Zelda game in HD. E3 2014 can't come any sooner.

I'm saying E3 2013, with a late 2014 launch. You have the safe, and likely right prediction, but I think Nintendo will go after E3 2013, because of Microsoft and Sony next-gen.
The idea of a Zelda or Mario game at a visual level above the 360's capabilities blows my mind a bit. I'm not sure I'd want or need much more, to be honest..
We're gonna be blown-away..![]()
As long as it's a Wii U shop or 3DS eShop title developed by someone other than the main team, then I wouldn't mind. I'd rather have the main team focus on a full fledged Zelda title.
If Nintendo goes for the jugular, they're gonna make me tear-up. Evil mo-fos.We've waited for this our whole HD lives my friend. It's going to be amazing.
We're gonna see a new Zelda this E3. Good enough for me.
Like I said above, don't mess with the main-line series, just do a spin-off. If it happened it would be a full retail release though, and sales would reflect that.

I have a feeling that they're going to show a 3D Mario title next E3, so I'm not expecting a Zelda title just yet. I would love for them to surprise me next E3.

I captured that image from an old Doom 95 shareware demo I found on Id Software's FTP server: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom/win95/doom95.zip
Purely techincal speaking, havnt people analyzed that Zelda tech demo and says that it isnt as impressive technical as it might look? Regardless of that though, it looks great.You, what is truly sigh worthy, is that journalist and critics and core gamer have already decided that WiiU is totally underpowered and that Zelda demo is nothing special at all

Yes, on GameTrailers. Search Pach-Attack!.Where can I watch this? On Gametrailers?
If it's anything like their 2006 E3 we just might. I'm thinking that they may possibly hold off showing it until next E3 to offset MS and Sony's console reveals, but who knows. I think NSMB, Pikmin 3, possibly Retro's game and whatever else they have cooked up *cough*ED2*cough* will be enough for me.I am expecting a 3D mario in some way at this E3. Because they HAVE to deliver no matter what. Even if its just a 20 sec trailer or just screenshots. Just for the "Shock and Awe" and to tease usThen it will be radio silence with a tidbit at TGS and a full reveal and playable demo at E3 2013. Release would be holyday 2013, when the competition release their consoles!

well, I have a very simple mind; if someone think this is possible, just show me a game looking as good.Purely techincal speaking, havnt people analyzed that Zelda tech demo and says that it isnt as impressive technical as it might look? Regardless of that though, it looks great.
Something along the same lines as the Four Swords on the 3DS with online integration and a bit more challenge would be our best bet. I think it would be pretty fun to play with friends. I haven't played any Four Swords titles before, so this will be pretty interesting if done right.

Funnily enough, as true as this is, it's also my biggest worry. Looking back to at the start of this generation and you see the same stuff you see at the start of every generation: developers fumbling as they try and get used to the tech. As always, the best looking games come later on in a system's life, when developers understand the tech and can better optimise.
This is Nintendo's entry into this level of technology, and though I expect they're preparing the best they can, I hope they can avoid launch title-itis. Because, fact of the matter is, it's going to be hard to take launch title games with hardware growing pains and put them up against heavily optimised graphically demanding games like God of War: Ascension and Uncharted 3. Or even Halo 4.
It's easy to say that Nintendo has the skills and talent to do it, but the proof will be in what the show. I hope they can do it, because the hardware obviously will allow them to. Their biggest hurdle will be jumping into the deep end, and not going through the same learning process that everybody else did years ago.
Personally, I think they can do this with any of their titles including NSMB. I'd be amazed if they actually have an online mode for NSMB.Yeah 3DS would be nice, and I played GC/GBA Four Swords and it was fun, even single-player had some good moments, as it had traditional Zelda game-play. I think a Wii U version would make sense though, I mean they did release it on a home console before, and the GC-GBA thing was essentially old Wii U style, so I could seem them just expanding it.
Like I said in my original post about it I think games like this would help show off Nintendo's commitment to having proper online console gaming, and if your going to try to show that it needs to be done on a home console, because it's their IP, third-parties are going to be better with online gaming, but Nintendo doing it even on a spin-off game would have some shock value to it.
I just thinking having a game with Zelda in the title, that goes online even if it's obviously not part of the main series would perk up a few antennas, that's what I like about it. A 3DS version would be fun, but a Wii U version could get some buzz, that's what I like about the idea.
I think quite a few people here are expecting this after all the hint Denis Dyack's been giving out. I won't be disappointed if it's not shown but I'm expecting it.So, I'm not alone, you expect Eternal Darkness 2 as well
One promising thing on this front is the extent to which Nintendo's been hiring over the past few years, which means they should now have quite a contingent of people on staff who've developed on XBox360 and PS3 and should be able to dive straight into a shader-based architecture like Wii U's. Plus the internal studios at least will have had a good idea of the Wii U's architecture for over 2 years by the time the console launches, so I hold out hope that they'll have some technically impressive launch titles (as I certainly don't expect any third parties to).
Even still, I wouldn't expect a Mario game to be very graphically adept. The artstyle of such a game would carry the visuals far enough to compensate for gpu intensive effects which would give EAD much need breathing room, correct? Eh, no matter, you're in a position to be a much better judge than I. I'm sure we shall see what happens in the coming months.
So how much bigger of a jump from the Wii is the Wii U compared to how big of a jump the Wii was from the GCN? I assume it's substanial.
Is impossible for Nintendo to top the 360 on a sub 100W box. Ah, Btw, the iPhone 5S will totally blowout the 360 (and Wii U) on a sub 1W budget next year!
As far as I know they've only been hiring through Retro. Who else did they pick up for their other studios?
As much if not bigger than the jump from PS2 to PS3.
Nintendo have been hiring quite extensively in their Japanese studios. We just don't have LinkedIn profiles to tell us who they've been hiring, so it doesn't get brought up much.
Sweet. Never knew this until now.Nintendo have been hiring quite extensively in their Japanese studios. We just don't have LinkedIn profiles to tell us who they've been hiring, so it doesn't get brought up much.
We also know that NST has been picking up people (including Sonic's co-creator)
