The only thing I know is that it's an open world game. Have we heard much about it?

One of the strangest videos to have Wii-U stuff.

Whhaaaat? This guy is more or less famous on Spain (on a bad way). People always look at his videos to make fun of him...

Anyway, regarding the video, 2 things:

It seems that when he is playing Aliens, he doesn't use the stick. Why he would be using the pad? It also seems that the movements on the tv does not reflect the movements on the pad.

And...is Battlefield 3 confirmed for wii u? did we see any videos?:O

It seems you never actually see him controlling the game while holding the pad in his hands, he could easily pick up a 360 controller while the camera is panning

Yeah i saw that but how did he get his hands on that WUPad, if it is one.

That, I do not have an answer for! It's shitty quality, but doesn't it look like the newer pad with sticks?

 

[lednerg]

That could be a piece of cardboard taped to an Android tablet. It's hard to tell because the video quality is so bad.

True, the way he holds it it looks too thin. Devious yet insane.

 

[callhitman]

its a fake pad he is holding. He never pushes the buttons or anything. the video is not live footage.

 

[TheCongressman1]

That, I do not have an answer for! It's shitty quality, but doesn't it look like the newer pad with sticks?

Nah, it looks like the older model. I'm guessing it's an ipad with a cardboard shell. I don't see how a guy like that could get his hands on a real unit when we've seen next to nothing of it for a year.

We know it's not real footage, it's the unit itself that's in question.

 

[lednerg]

And I love how Aliens: CM is just going to display the logo on the screen while you use the motion tracker on the TV. I could've done a more convincing fake.

 

[callhitman]

Its all fake. The unit is not in question. Just another guy trying to get attention.

 

[Disorientator]

You can't see Miyamoto because he's taking the picture - with the team hard at work and that Pikmin 3 billboard in the background, it was a photo opportunity not to be missed!

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

"Medium", whatever it is, sounds like the next Sadness in the making.

ha! my thoughts exactly!

 

[cyberheater]

Well. I for one have to congratulate Nintendo. E3 is nearly here and not a single significant leak. You're Ninja's are strong.

 

[Naked Prime]

So no one is thinking new Legacy of Kain or Soul Reaver from Crystal Dynamics?

Edit: I expect this will put salt in Dyack's wounds. I don't wanna see a broken Dennis unviel Eternal Darkness 2

 

[TheCongressman1]

Its all fake. The unit is not in question. Just another guy trying to get attention.

Yeah? I think you misunderstood me. At least one person wondered if the controller was real and where he would have gotten one, and I didn't see anyone considering the footage. That's all I was saying.

Obviously he doesn't really have one. There's no way.

Really nice blending on this. Great job!

I would cut off my left arm for a new Soul Reaver, but I don't think it's a priority for Eidos at the moment..

 

[Fabrik]

It's funny that Nintendo is one of the biggest video-game company in the world and they don't have a single billboard at E3. They just don't need them, they're already awesome. lol

I'd love a new Soul Reaver.

You monster.

 

[Mpl90]

Things are getting awesome here. Wii U's showing will be GREAT, AMAZING, from today till the end of the E3!!!

P.S. After AC3: Liberation for Vita, I'd like to see an AC for 3DS. I think we'll see it announced due to the fact we had them on DS AND above all due to the possibilities of connectivity with AC3 on Wii U...but still, we'll see.

 

[Naked Prime]

I thought Edios (SE) was making a new game announcment? I remember reading it somewhere.

other thisngs I'd like:

Capcom Gotcha Force sequel. NFC Capsule borgs in Japan
Wii U Water Sports (combines Wave Race, Endless Ocean and Steel Diver)
Battallion/Advanance Wars mixed with another franchise (Star Fox maybe)
A new Clock Tower would be nice (2 players)
Eternal Darkness 2 co-developed by SK & Retro
Built in "Mario Paint"
Mario Kart Wii U Trailer
Blue Tooth Headset support
Wii U Classic Controller

EDIT: Club House games Wii U and a Deathnote MMO (yeah I went there)

 

[canvee]

How do you guys think Nintendo should market Wii u? What message or theme do you think they will use?

 

[Mpl90]

If you don't know about Wii U...U will.

And then, NINJAS EVERYWHERE!!!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

when to sleep and them only able to lose 5 hours

THE WAIT

 

[Gahiggidy]

You can keep yourself busy by signing up for checkbox bingo and then study your cards.

 

[abstract alien]

Eh...limited resources on top of sucking...

 

[canvee]

Haha your referring to those weird phone calls right?

Anyway those "wii would like to play" commercials were brilliant at the time. I hope they come up with something just as effective. Something unique and attention-grabbing that hasn't been done before.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

BINGO!

I can do 12 hours!

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

I am suddenly reminded of the odd commercials during the GameCube period, and how appropriate they'd be about now

Who Are U


edit: this is probably Nintendo's ninja school..

 

[NeoRausch]

Choo! Choo! I just jumped on the hype train! I mean for real 'cause i'm goin on vecation... To "no internet"-land. I hope i can grab some infos at my parents house and my phone (as far the mobile net works over there).

btw: i'm going there to get married. E3, WiiU and a wife. That's going to be THE week!

 

[lednerg]

That phone message likely has to do with a (supposed) game called Medium, from the folks who gave us Sadness (or rather, utterly failed to). Nibris, now know as Bloober Team, has to date produced some unremarkable titles for Vita, WiiWare, iOS devices and PC. The whois information for http://medium-game.com/ can be traced to Bloober.

 

[Kjellson]

What does this refer to?

He said that he knew a first-part game in development that wasn't related to Mario, Pokémon or Zelda, wasn't a racing game, wasn't obvious and it would probably bomb.

 

[Shiggy]

I fear that we will not see Eternal Darkness 2 after that trial:

Not all hope is lost. Nintendo could have another team doing it.

Doing some more research it does look like he was let go. Another dev commented to him on how he always lands on his feet so is sure things will be ok.

Really Hope Dyack didnt screw it all up with this lawsuit

Like Retro?

 

[abstract alien]

Like Retro?

Hell no. After seeing those Human folks in Corruption, I never want to see them do that again. Nothing but aliens and animals for them for eternity.

Repost as it was drowned out during the Nintendo Direct announcement:

I hope Nintendo switches to GHS MULTI 6 soon if they haven't already (they used 5.3.11 back in April):

Record-breaking improvements in code speed and size on ARM and Power Architecture. Green Hills Compiler 2012 outperforms both competitors and prior Green Hills Compiler releases by up to 34% on CoreMark speed benchmarks. As an example, Green Hills Compiler 2012 achieved a CoreMark benchmark of 288.11 on a Freescale Kinetis K60 at 100MHz for a record-breaking 2.88 CoreMark/MHz. The nearest published competitor is at 2.17 CoreMark/MHz on this processor. This is a performance improvement of over 32%.

As exotic and expensive MULTI is, it seems customers actually get something in return. Well, the company would already be out of business if that wasn't the case I guess...

I've seen it the first time it was posted I was waiting for someone to explain what it means

is this an increase in hardware performance for the games or just better performance of the dev tool

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

There's really no reason for them not to support it. The Wii U will have at least a decent sized fanbase in Japan just due to how well Mario titles sell there now. So, I can't imagine that they'd want to pass that up. But i'm not sure that we'll see them announce the support at E3. I'd think that Nintendo would want to make a bigger deal out of it by having FF15 announced at one of their shows.

It's not like there are many bigger venues. E3 is where we saw such things as XIII and XIV's initial announcements, as well as when we learned XIII (and probably XI? too long ago) would be showing up on Xbox 360.

Applications run faster on the same hardware when built with MULTI 6, basically.

Thanks, your posts are almost always insightful and the shere post volume makes small bits like these easy to miss.

One hopes N will make devs switch, the performance gains are obvious. Or perhaps devs can switch themselves, the news needs to be communicated though. And tested, obviously.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ok thanks

so Nintendo went with the most expensive solution here, its nice to see they are not cutting corners in some cases

 

[Antioch]

I have no idea what to expect in terms of 1st party software anymore, beyond Pikmin and a Mario game I mean (which I don't expect to be NSMB). Nintendo usually have around 10 games when showing off new systems, so what else will there be? Of course we can look at which developers are most likely to show something, like Retro, Good-Feel, Monolith, but then who knows what they're up to. What I'm trying to say is that I've stopped trying to guess, I'm just gonna let Nintendo surprise me.

 

[suaveric]

Was this Nintendo direct thing originally scheduled for Tuesday night and then moved to tonight? I feel like Nintendo had mentioned before this that they were going to have a video discussing the hardware released after their press conference.

Nope, this is different.

You mean the discussion with Katsuya Eguchi (Wii U hardware producer), right? The Nintendo E3 site lists them separately, so no, they're not the same.

No the software showcase is still on for 6 June 6pm PT
