MGS3 did not come out on the XBOX.

also, p.s. KOJIMA IS THE GUY WHO APPROACHED SAKURAI ABOUT SNAKE BEING IN SMASH BROS. WHY WOULD HE HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST NINTENDO?!
[CONSPIRACY_THEORY]It was his son who pushed Kojima talk with Sakurai, he clarify this to note that Nintendo systems are for kids.[/CONSPIRACY_THEORY]
 
Super Mario Land -> Super Mario World -> Super Mario Galaxy -> Super Mario Universe

Do it Nintendo. Do it!

I think it's time to step away from the whole "BIGGER IS BADASSER!" philosophy. Maybe go small with "Super Mario Innerspace" (then again, that's probably basically Bowser's Inside Story).

Then since we're at small scale, we can have the inevitable sequel, "Olimar x Mario Fusion Saga"

From the official site:

If projects like this one already come with Wii U/3DS version I don't know what to expect from the big players...

I wonder if that's the final case their going to go with. Looks way too similar to a Wii case.

I thought they'd learned their lesson with the 3DS branding. This isn't a good sign for alleviating product confusion, really. :/
That said, it could very easily be a mockup by the devs.

Well, it could be that they told them to just use Wii case design for their mockup, but the final design might be different. Maybe they just used Wii because Nintendo never gave them specifics on Wii U cases. Whatever their reason for using Wii cases, I hope it's not final.

The logo looks a tad fucked up, or maybe I'm just wishing it to be tentative. Pretty disappointing they wouldn't make the case look any different.

Edit; Nvm, thanks Thrak.

Jett Tailfin is a retail game? I was hoping stuff like that would be download only for a few dollars..rather than cluttering up the shelves.
 
I'd be shocked if Konami doesn't bring some titles over to Wii U, the same is true for RE6. I'm not expecting Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamic's comments were as clear and harsh as possible - they don't want anything to do with the platform itself (and I wouldn't mind if this backfired on them).

What was the Crystal Dynamics quote? I must have missed that one.

Edit: Never mind, now I remember, MDK2-WiiWareGate.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
EA press release just went out- no mention of Wii U. I guess the embargo is still up!

At this point, we're either looking at a monumental failure by Nintendo to secure content, or a set of cast-iron NDAs in place to make their conference as explosive as possible.

Great stuff either way :)

I'm so confused.. I have no idea what to believe regarding the embargo. :p

I thought maybe it was lifted with the DC fighting game unveiling, but nothing from Konami last night and nothing from EA, which, if you look at the PR, absolutely confirms an embargo- I mean they have all their sports games listed, with many listed for Wii, with no Wii U mention.
 
Sorry for the extra posts, guys. Just woke up and am catching up on the thread.

Something like this?

Or maybe this is to your tastes:

LOL! You're amazing, nice work! Both are fantastic, second one is better due to slower reveal. Man, this is already one of my fave gifs ever, thanks! Hey, maybe when you get a chance you could E3/Iwata-fy this one (Iwata hair toss gif is one idea of what they could be sitting down for):

So that's how the final Wii U packshots will look like..

Extremely disappointing..

Fixed

I have no doubt this is the final Wii U case design. Just like the 3DS cases are hardly distinguishable from the DS. Nintendo doesn't learn. They need to change the overall design and case color to differentiate between the new system(s) and it's predecessor.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!

And we already know that FIFA is coming on Wii U, done by a specific team. So...

This won't be the final case design.

C'mon guys, the fish game thing boxart is very badly put together. It's just provisional until Nintendo reveals the real thing.

I'm expecting them to be the size of PS3 game boxes (or Blu-Ray in general), really.

I think 3DS box design is also way too close to the DS one.

In the UK the 3DS boxes are thinner and the 3DS logo is on the right instead of the left.

If that Wii U box art is legit then I don't mind TBH, as a gamer, but that box art in general is bad. For the casuals however, Nintendo should try to differentiate Wii U from Wii.

No doubt? Not even a little?

It's not official because the logo is pale blue instead of the darker blue from the new logo.

The logo itself is fake. Whoever made this just took the Wii logo, put a blue rectangle next to it and cut a "U" inside the rectangle.

Same in the US. There were some funny pics of stores having their 3DS games upside down on shelves so the 3DS logos was on the same side as the DS ones.

I agree, the 3DS showed they need to do a much better job differentiating the Wii U from the Wii. The name and design thus far doesn't indicate they know that.

I think it would be a good idea to reduce the size of the cases for the Wii U games (PS3/blu-ray sized or smaller). Kinda like this

It would definitely leave more space for my shelf since I stack cases on top of each other rather than side by side.

In Endless Ocean 3 you will play in a fictional universe set in a mythical underwater world.

Your character will be a Merman/Mermaid researcher sent out to write a bestiary of the mythical sea creatures living in the seas.

You will be armed with a trident to fend off attacks but the game will feature mild peril like in EO2.

There may be a giant enemy crab.

slap on some cell-shading and you've got yourself a winner! :p
