Wasn't there a rumour that a Tales of game was coming to Wii U? And today there is a teaser for a new Tales of game, no title given... hmm...

Would be too much, no? Wii U can't have everything.

I'd say at best it would be a PS3/WiiU game. After Xillia's success its pretty clear where the fanbase is.
 
Katsuya Eguchi, that name sounds insanely familiar from a dev point of view. Isn't he a big guy from the F-Zero series an one of the directors of Star Fox 64?

Nintendo is ready for E3.

Wish I could find a gif of the whole thing.

I really wish if The Avengers wasn't such a brand new movie if only to get a gif of
Tony Stark strutting into his place and having his battered armor (old Wii) disassembled with "Body not quite ready yet, one sec" only to reappear after the free fall sequence of rearmoring in the new one (Wii U) with a "My Body Is Ready, How about U?" catch line

I think Sony will go big on PS3/Vita and that going to fail vita need it own games so yeah should be a easy win more so if other next gens are no shows and MS will be all os and stars no one out side USA will know and bad acting

but then if they don't show next gen every fanboy will call what ever they show for Wii U as weak
Click to expand...
They'll call it weak, regardless.

We Nintendo fans get to enjoy a drama and excitement-filled E3. Indeed, we get to see the best kind of E3: the New Hardware Blowout E3! And with a company that actually realizes that keeping secrets for the conference and for the week is vital for their showing to be good.

Let 'em think what they want. Won't hurt my enjoyment! :)
 
If it weren't for the IdeaMan bashing and banned member eulogizing, this thread would be 1/4 of the size. I honestly think that you guys are doing it to pad the thread so we can rush to another one before E3 hits.

Oh, and also, this thread killed the "My body is ready" meme for me. Glad it will only be a few weeks before we will probably get a better one.

Kind of feels like that doesn't it?
 
The Spike broadcast and developer roundtable stream is finally got me giddy excited for this E3.

I'm not getting anything done that week...

I agree. This thread should be a good source for Wii U news, but it's full of bullshit banter and Nintendo fanboyism.

If this thread moved slower and has less off-topic chat it would be much better.
 
I hope they show at least one more Wii U game running on PS3/360 hardware so we can get a repeat of last year's "look at how ugly and Wii quality the graphics are!" one last time.

edit: yeah you guys spend more time chatting about gifs or random bullshit than actual wii u speculation
 
Not to be a dick, but who is honestly expecting something from MS?

Unless they drop the bomb with teaserfootage of their first Xbox Next title. Allthough, that would kind of steal the thunder from Halo 4 I suppose. I expect cool things from Sony. The Last of Us should be amazing. I'm still convinced they'll have some Vita revival (yes I know how stupid that sounds) at E3 because I'm betting on TGS '12, but they could have some awesome stuff.

These threads are designed to keep all the nintendo crazies in one place. I think there should be a permanent addition to gaf.

Haha, I expect certain fanboyism, but GAF has standards about OTs which doesn't seem to be upheld so much here.

It's a shame because it discourages good discussion a lot of the time.

I really don't even know what could be said if something like this happens again. Meanwhile, I just realized that I want to see two things in the Wii U library at E3, a fast paced fighting game and a platformer/adventure game. I have a massive itch for the latter that needs scratching and I'm currently addicted like no other to the former genre. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom 2: Tatsunoko harder anyone?

Not aware of this source so did not want to make a new thread for what may very well be bullshit news but FLCL game supposedly in development for Wii U / 3DS.

I would love to see how this turns out, but I'm not holding my breath.

Actual Wii U news?

Aliens CM won't be playable at E3 on Wii U

Interesting. Does this perhaps coincide with the new devkits having slight increase in power?

IdeaMan is now a full member. I DEMAND a thread! :)

Haha. Indeed he is.
 
There is a video of the Giant Bomb crew recording their impressions seconds after the conference ended and straight up saying "the graphics looked in between Xbox and 360, like really early 360 titles." One of them pauses like he's unsure of that, then decides to just go along with it and nod his head anyway.

We'll probably get something similar this E3.
 
Nice to see 3 video sessions of juicy Wii U stuff!

Does anyone know if Spike do live streaming for us lowly, non US folks?

I never read or visit the community forum, so I guess this thread is my last Wii U speculation thread. :(

Same here :( When a thread goes to Community, it goes there to die. Just being moved there lowers post counts like 500%, because people don't see it anymore except a very small number of people who go searching for the thread that just disappeared. I don't want to only talk with a few SuperPosters.

…wait, so my post count will go from around 600 to around negative 2400?

He is the Animal Crossing, Wii Sports, Wii Music guy. He did direct the first WaveRace and Starfox games, and was one of the directors on Yoshi's Island.

Sounds about right.

At this point, I don't get too angry. It's more comedy fodder than anything else.
