I'm kindof annoyed that Intelligent Systems are working on a 3DS Paper Mario, because it means they're not working on one for wiiu :-(

Edit: wow, half an hour with no posts? The bans have weakened this thread! D:

I don't see how it being on Wii U would enhance it. I'd rather like seeing a Fire Emblem game with high production values.

The chat is dead too. :/

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
When do you guys expect retail stores to start taking pre-orders?

Yeah, I suppose. I think my enthusiasm for the game has been dampened a bit due to the fact that it was announced at E3 2010, and we've only had like, one or two trailers (that don't show much) since then. Still buying it day one though, since it's Paper Mario.

But c'mon Nintendo! Give me something!

Can anyone tell me where this originates from?

It's okay. They can make one for Wii U after the 3DS one.

Come on now, that would be too easy!

It has to do with Ocarina of Time and EAD doing the darn best they can with 64bit textures and limited polygons in rendering a busty female bodess.

Ive had mine on order since E3 last year. (EB in Australia). Just been putting small amounts on it from games Ive bought and returned for store credit in the event I didnt like them.

Nothing but a placeholder price though.

Also, are there any personal quirks or jokes we can expect by the trio of executives? (Iwata, Fils-Amis, Miyamoto).

I fully expect Iwata to to come on stage and say: "I present, Wii U" - and hold up 3 little purple lunchbox consoles taped together. Well, that's my hope.

I'm also holding off on any ps3/360 game purchases right now, and have sort of been doing that since mid last year. Any word I wonder if more recent games like dragons dogma might be getting a port? Its really just the same games listed at e3 last year still, isnt it.

I refused to get my PS3 repaired since near the end of last year, so I've been holding off. I'll likely by any good games released since then on Wii U if it gets some ports.
 
Said it before and i'll say i again: we nintendo fans need to step our fucking game up and put our money where our mouths are.

Resident Evil 6
Tomb Raider
Half Life 3
Bioshock Infinite
Bordernlands 2
Assassin's Creed 3
GTA V
Aliens CM
Darksiders II
Call of Duty: Blops 2
Cloudberry Kingdom
Castlevania LOS2
Rayman Legends

You tell me that out of all these titles that could show up on the WiiU, some of you can't even find three of them appealing? We have to do our part.

Wii wouldn't have been my main platform this gen, if a list like this would make me giddy. Either it's a unappealing game in my book or a defilement of a series that I loved (RE6, Casltevania...) that I'm not going to support in a hundred years.
I thought this HD gen was rather terrible and in most cases the complete opposite of why I have this hobby. So, uh ... sorry, I'm not going to start support this mess just because its on a Nintendo platform now.
All I need at this point is Nintendo HD glory, or some of the 3rd party content that made the Wii more bearable in that regard (wacky shit like No More Heroes). Well okay, gimme Rayman Legends.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Yeah, places in Australia are taking pre-orders. We were taking them at JB HiFi, while I worked there.

So...hate to be that guy but (apart from tragic permabans) has anything interesting happened last 2 days?

Weekends are usually pretty shitty for news and leaks. This week is the ramp up to E3, so I think we'll start getting some more serious hints and news then.

Would buy in a heartbeat: Half Life 3 (obv)
Would probably buy: Darksiders II, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite - all 3 have potential, but not yet convinced TR is unique and exploratory. Bioshock irritated me, and Darksiders I'm not 100% on yet.
Would try a demo: Resident Evil 6, GTA V, Aliens CM, Cloudberry Kingdom, Rayman Legends - didnt like RE5 or GTA4, Aliens is a gearbox game so not sure, Rayman platforming doesnt feel right to me and NFI what Cloudberry is so benefit of the doubt to it.
No interest whatsoever: Bordernlands 2, Assassin's Creed 3, Call of Duty: Blops 2, Castlevania LOS2 - all seem highly derivative to me. CoD is not fun, AC1 was rubbish, and I didnt like the LoS demo.


Oh, I see, sorry. I wonder who was in charge of that...

There are so many sides of gaf I have nfi about. Internal politics and whatnot I guess.

To "step up our game" is such a silly comment. I want to buy whatever I want.

RE 6, LoS 2, Rayman Legends and Aliens CM sound pretty cool, but I don't care for the others that much. Sure, I'd look into Darksiders II and BioShock Infinite but I'm not sure about both. Apparently I'm in the "BioShock it's okay camp" and posted my thoughts about Darksiders allready. AC III is a € 10 title at best.

Can we expect subscribers to reveal what NP is about tomorrow?

Hopefully. For them to go this long without posting the preview really makes me think it is Wii-U related. The only other option that isn't Wii-U related that I can think of is Mirror of Fate 3DS is the cover and they are NDA'd until the the Konami conference for the Castlevania reveal (which is the 31st or 1st, of the top of my head).

My bet now is on a double reveal of both Lord of the Shadow 2 for Wii-U, and Mirror of Fate 3DS.

stupid college projects >__> I will not able to see Ninty conf. directly... u___u

I'll be in the same boat, though because I'm actually working this year during the summer. I'm going to try my best to stream it or live blog it at work though! Don't want to miss out on any of the E3 fun.

I wonder how many games are still unannounced for Wii U
my huge backlog and the current Wii U's third party lineup is enough for me to keep me busy at least till mid2013 D:

Damn Nintendo, have mercy D:
