Yup.
Well, a lot of guys want to be "THAT GUY WHO CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR THE BETTER". Fame is the brother of greed. It works for some though.

Yup.

The more I think about it, the more I want to start a thread chronicling developer comments about the Wii U. You know that every time there's a major multi-platform PS360.720.4 game announced, there will be people quietly or openly wondering THAT question. Some will ask it. Others will button-up, fearing that they'll be disciplined for port begging.
Sometimes, though, it's a valid question on an intellectual level. I would hope that it doesn't have to be "hey.. you're a fanboy disruptor for asking that!" And I'd like to collect these comments and answers throughout the next seven/eight years so that we can easily look back on them collectively, with a cold, clinical eye.
It'd probably just be locked with no reason given.

Nah. He would just need to take that quote Anth0ny (I believe) posts and change the developer name as needed.
I would hope not, but I fear you being correct in this case. I think it could be a good exploration of various related topics.
Questionable on the name recogniton and talent of Sakurai. One thing I think is important to note, is that a lot of the guys inside of Nintendo get supressed by a name like Miyamoto. It is all marketing, where you want to associate the popular name to the games, even if a new generation of producers and designers are doing the hands-on development.
But even then. I honestly think there are much more creatively talented people at Nintendo. But since Sakurai was a red headed step child (HAL), he actually gets to keep his press unlike say a genius at Nintendo like Kouichi Kawamoto (Brain Age, WarioWare, Zelda Four Swords) or Koichi Hayashida (Super Mario Galaxy), and the other talented designers at Nintendo.
But Sakurai is great at packing games with content, especially fanfare which the hardcore eat up. But as far as pure design and mechanics are involved, EAD and SPD guys havfe run circles around him.

Row Row Row Remote better than WiiU? At least upad can play HD games and not just flash based crap.
Sounds like a Wiki, not a thread.

this. Also, I haven't played KI but Meteos (as well as the Kirby games he was involved with, obviously) is a tremendously enjoyable game! Almost to the point where you wonder how it pulls it off, being just another block puzzler..
It seems the man has a natural talent for creating very well balanced designs, so there is always more to his games than meets the eye.
That sounds even better. Holy crap.. why did I not consider this? Time to do some research. This could be my thing for the upcoming generation!
[Loosely related to Wii U] A summary by Gamasutra, of IndieGames.com interviews of fps developers about the genre, what to keep, what to ditch, to rejuvenate it
Let's hope we'll get some awesome, fun, addictive, and innovative shooters, on Wii U.
And i love the declarations of the Illfonic guy:
for the bold part... Wii U ? Considering their projects launched/are planned on digital distribution services like XBLA & PSN, maybe a version for the Nintendo Network ?
And yes, we need more exploration in FPS !
Also, there's a lot of Call of Duty and Battlefield criticism in this article. We can pray the genre will vary more for the next-generation and move away from this over-used, over-played, archetype/model.

Everyone is allowed to talk BS - isnt that what this thread is about?
More importantly, shouldn't GTAV be in the rumored games at thread opening?

So he's Japanese Silicon Knights before the we can do our thing without Nintendo debacle.....
Lyrical. I like it.It's no big deal. (Just a little one. >_>)
You could have said something like, "The creator of a phenomenon that has swept the world. He fought tirelessly amidst demands of closing the first WUST thread and waiting till E3 2012 for real news. Through his perseverance the WUST has taken off to heights unseen and risen to heaven along with the company these threads are dedicated to. He has fought hard to dig up any news and information to stimulate the ongoing discussions that have brought joy, tears, and anger to the visitors of the WUST threads. As a poster he is a man amongst men (and women). And as a Nintendo fan a kid amongst kids."
Not that I thought that out or anything. >_>
Good idea!
Which make me think a wiki Nintendo memes page would also be an awesome idea, if not already done?
I haven't heard people talk about the probabilities for EA support on the Wii U. John Riccitiello certainly sounded like EA was totally behind the Wii U, but with what games?
Looking back to Gamecube, I can't really remember much multiplatform that EA withheld from the platform, even as other western third party publishers backed away from the system later in its lifespan. EA Sports games are a definite but what about everything else? Warfighter? Dead Space 3? BioWare?
How could Frostbite engine affect this? It's a next gen engine (look at the difference between BF3 PC and BF3 console) that might better take advantage of the Wii U right away, so multiplatform games running on it might show off the real difference between Wii U and other hardware.

IGN posted a new "Nintendo Voice Chat" a few minutes ago http://wii.ign.com/articles/122/1224812p1.html
and I would recommend Radio Free Nintendo

When Iwata or Reggie come out first to E3 I want them to do it to this as their theme song, just strut on stage midway through the song.

the song is a swag activator

I don't know man. I think if they walked out to this they would send a clear message that Nintendo is here to win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqB9fUJogaU

Iwata can come out to one and Reggie the other.

It was always odd to me how they would say such things, go on to release a game they say was made for the demographic they thought was correct, and then ignore it all once it bombed.

I'm just imagining it and literally loling at the thought of Iwata walking on stage to either of them. Would be hilarious. And awesome, I guess?
IMO Dead Space 3 is a sure bet, EA had intention for bring the serie to Wii, but due technical limitations they bring a gaiden game.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Well, if I was the stage director, I'd push those guys out on stage to this tune....

*slow clap* 1200+ posts in less than a day.
So pumped for e3.
So pumped for e3.
Make the wiki and talk to whomever does the official "Wii U Games" thread (since that one will probably stay active throughout the generation) about keeping a link to it in the OP.
Pretty much.
I can't wait for the video that will play at the conference of all the devs talking about how much potential the controller has, and how revolutionary it's going to be for video games. Then 20% actually go on and make something worthwhile with it.

Memorable E3 moment was when George Harrison walked on stage with a song that sounded a lot like this

The Brawl release was probably my favorite hype period. I literally went batshit insane when ever the Dojo released new info. God, I can only think of a few games that give me feelings like that.

Don't forget the second tremble that morning when MH3 was announced to be Wii-exclusive out of nowhere!
Sweet, sweet times. :')

The Circus Theme just gave me an idea for a themed Mario game:
Super Mario Circus™
Browser is the ringleader of a traveling circus. He and his band of Goomba Carnies kidnap the Princess and make her play a part in one of their acts. Mario has to rescue her, but first he needs to grow an even larger handlebar mustache in order to disguise himself and infiltrate their troupe as a new performer.

Related to the interview above (don't know how to quote over mobile, sorry)
About turning the camera on FPSs and how it is frustrating with wiimote pointer.
The solution was always damn obvious: a wiimote with an analog stick that controls the camera.
Instead of a cursor in the middle of the screen, you would still use the pointer and you have both actions independent from each other. And of course, nunchuck for walking... But I guess such a combo will never come to life. Always wanted it as the ultimate precise FPS control.

My roommate screamed down our dorm that Sonic was going to be in Brawl, running down the hall with his hands over his head.
It was 6 in the morning.
Ice cold. Sleep with one eye open.
It is done.
I'll begin work on it in earnest later on this week, but the wheels are already in motion.
The title: "Because.. It's Nintendo."
It'll be a no-frills (read: free) site, but it should do the trick. I'll begin research this week, combing over news archives, going through the Speculation Threads, looking through GAF's topics over the past year.
Very exciting!
