Ironically, the Wii was the only console this generation to get a "regular" Castlevania game.

And by "regular", I mean not-SotN-style. Rebirth was great.

Yes, it was. I want more of that kind of Castlevania.

Wii U Speculation Thread VII: Obviously the best in the series

Spoiler

Final fantasy VII reference for those who don't get it.

Having thread titles that lie seems like a bad idea.

He figured a party game would work better. Then he tried to pitch it as a fanservice game, but had Obata redesign all the characters in a Deathnote-style. It's like making Smash Bros. but asking Ryuhei Tamura to redesign all the characters to look closer to Beelzebub - I love that manga, but that is really missing the point.

IGA could not envision a Wii Castlevania without using the wiimote as a whip and this idea kind of repulsed him.

Ahh could have been like No More Heroes where the controller orientation (high/low) decided the type of combos you had access to...
But alas

Don't forget Pandora's Tower

What does this have to do with Castlevania? Not trying to sound rude, i'm just wondering.

 

[BY2K]

Apparently Colonial Marines got delayed.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Castlevania Wii was a victim of developers not understanding what they could use the controller for (for example, nothing) and the reputation the system had as only being for families.

I wouldn't say the Wii U has wiped either slate clean.

Call me crazy, I hope Konami does something neat with Yugioh WiiU or Dragon Collection. Imagine playing a card game on upad

Yeah. Recently playing some Magic Duels of the Planeswalkers, it seemed like something where multi-controller support could be really handy. Each player has their hand and the overall playfield shows on TV.

I just had a wild idea: what if the Wii-U has 3DS guts inside? At one point when asked about support for multiple controllers, Miyamoto said that they would have used 3DS's as controllers if they had planned to do that. Imagine the huge surprise when Nintendo announces that your Wii-U can also play every 3DS game, just not in 3D! This could be a feature which drives sales of *both* systems.

Sounds like a great way to drive up the price on something that doesn't need to be a standard feature.

If nintendo releases Wind Waker in HD. What are the chances that they will add the missing dungeons back in the game.

If they were anywhere near done, they wouldn't be missing. If such dungeons were added in, they'd probably be something all-new added by people who didn't make the original.

I wish there was a way to seethe difference in 1080 and 720p for myself. Something along the lines a of a blue ray disc with three sample games switching between the modes. Also, comparisons between 60 and 30fps along with anti-aliasing techniques.

Easiest way is to hook your computer up to a 1080p screen. Find a game and play with the settings.

This sounds like borderline insanity. And not like Miyamoto, Kojima, or Suda style insanity. Just regular, non genius associated insanity lol

That's the point real RPG fans know that the FF7 being the best in the series is a lie.

maybe it's just me but I found the style of gameplay in PT perfectly suitable for a Castlevania game on Wii, while making excellent use of the controls in a similar context (ie. using the pointer and motion to control a whip/chain weapon).

Apparently Colonial Marines got delayed.

AGAIN? Even with a fall 2012 releasedate it would've been two years behind the schedule. And even more if it wasn't cancelled in 2008. (Work resumed in early 2009 with a late 2010 releasedate planned)

What about the Wii U Discussion Thread (after E3)?

Well this delay is clearly a "Oh fuck CODBLOPS2" delay.

 

[EatChildren]

It's all basically the same thing, so yeah, any Wii U general threads, dedicated mostly to speculation and such prior to the system's launch, will sit in community.

[Exterminieren]

So, ShockingAlberto has given me an idea in the Castlevania thread; NFC chips in 3DS cartridges to unlock content in related WiiU games ie. New Super Mario Bros. 2/Mii.

Does someone who knows the tech know if this is feasible?

 

[Vermillion]

Which reminds me - what are we thinking about 3DS potential use as a Wii U controller?

That was sarcasm. Why would that make sense when the 3DS itself could communicate with the Wii U hardware?

Sure, you'd just need to fit an RFID tag on the cartridge - it should be possible.

I know.

I'm trying to be positive. Maybe at some point these speculation threads will become general community threads? That'd definitely be a good thing.

Sure. Or they could unlock the content using NiN or plain old WLAN.

Nintendo's E3 conference.

The presentation, shown live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, will deliver an inside look at Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games, exclusive trailers and more. The special event will telecast on Spike TV and MTV2 as part of the Spike TV’s “E3 All Access Live” live program, which will bring you more than 17 hours of multi-platform coverage from E3 2012.

You know the thread still exists. And everybody can visit and post in it...right? The only thing that changes is where the thread is listed, and given the speculation threads continually sit on the front page of the main forum, and operate more like communal threads with general, multi-topic spread discussion, it only makes sense that they're categorised correctly.
