u r 100% right EC, these quotes from their website from the gaming community about their Mass Effect version:
“It’s almost blasphemy to call this game a port. The controls are so good that it’s virtually impossible to tell that the game was originally a console release.”
Game Daily
“Demiurge went one step further and geared the gameplay experience for the PC, with an intuitive new interface that feels natural, unlike any number of console-to-PC ports over the years.”
Game Zone
“Revisiting Bioware’s space epic Mass Effect for its PC debut was a must; this is the way the game was meant to be played”
Ars Technica
“All I can say to PC-owning Mass Effect virgins is: I’m jealous. I wish I could play it for the first time once again.”
Videogamer
so WiiU version is actually in good hands
btw I was concerned about the gaming being pitched to another team and being in development for a shorter time than the other versions which might lead to a delayed wiiU version
No, I do not think EA has confirmed anything. I suspect they will, but nothing has been said like with Ubisoft.
It was an appetizer, I guess. I wanted more concreted information on the network but I guess by the end of this week we should know everything.
I think they wanted to introduce the feature they did show, including the new controller, because third party games will be shown today possibly with that new controller.
HD NINTENDO TODAY!

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
And why would they mandate that? I'm asking that as somebody who fully intends to do some upad-only gaming.

OMG when will we see Dragon Quest X Wii U version?
dat Miiverse alone will cripple Japan D:

Yeah, more or less I agree.
I'm a little scared about the new Classic controller ( I hope it will be just for local multiplayer for those who don't have CCPro from the Wii), I'm quiet happy about the new controller, I'm quite happy about the use of it as a remote universal controller, I'm quiet happy about the integrated "Postbox/Twitter" communication interface.
I hope they'll show tons of games, tomorrow...

I...hadn't thought about that. This isn't likely to launch with the system is it? Japan, and the world in general, can't handle something like that on day 1.
Doesn't the new controller sort of promote the idea that you won't need a second screen for every game? I mean they called it a controller for multiplatform titles, obviously they are expecting some devs to ignore the screen for the most part.
Honestly not every game needs the screen and having pad only gameplay is huge... laying in bed playing Wii U on just the controller, sounds like a huge selling point to the system.

I thought it was just a poke at "hardcore gamers" honestly. That's how I took it, at least.

dunno about launch but when the miiverse hits all platforms all those moble hands in Japan talking on the miiverse about DQX
man this social thing when crazy popular games is kinda scary to think about, at least people will be alone together T-T
Maybe I am still confused about it, but does this mean the WiiU will support all the following:
1. WiiU Gamepad (Tablet)
2. WiiU Pro (classic controller)
3. WiiMote/Nunchuck
4. Wii Classic Controller
?

And they haven't even touched their socially connected achievement system yet
Balance Board as well.

Pikmin 3 is 27 hours away.
My body is not ready.
8years was not enough time to prepare.
At least two locations and four unique models as well as button prompts. Not impossible for it to be a mock up, but in my opinion it does seem excessive for something that was probably on screen less than 2 seconds total.

A marketing bullet point that directly contradicts the major bullet point of the system - asymmetric gameplay?
Re the usefulness - some games will allow upad-only play, some won't. A normal gamer's reaction is to deal with that. I too intend to take full advantage of upad-only gameplay, whenever possible.
They have to clarify.
What we know up to now is that it is compatible with all the peripherals of the Wii. And that the Gamepad is the main controller.
It seems that the new Pro pad could be an alternative for the local multiplayer for those who don't have the Wii remote plus / classic pad

this would be smart and welcomed
I don't think 4 has been confirmed and I don't think it will be for anything on the U, Apart from backwards compatibility with the Wii games that used it.

So we're about three hours from the first of the big three's conferences. Anyone else eagerly awaiting the inevitable 500 errors?
Also, if they do close Off-Topic, I wonder if Gaming Community goes with.

With all the different controllers, and 3DS on top of it, I could see a conductive mat charger being quite handy. Dont know the specifics on those things, but they seem to cater more towards an eco-system of related products such as what Apple or Nintendo could offer.

I already had an error
not sure why the avatars have not gone down yet... what is a good site to watch all the conferences today while NEOGAF is down?
They said all peripherals are compatible, so CC will be

All I want out of Tuesday's conference is a new Metroid...that's it.
Everything else is just a bonus.

Sigh that's probably true ):
I just hope Nintendo doesn't pull an N64 with the Metroid franchise...

Will we have any "leaks" today/tonight? I remember recently we've had leaks and early reveals on IGN/Some Newspaper but I can't remember if they were on the same day as the conference or the day before...

2D Metroid on the Wii U? I think that'd be suited to the 3DS, but I'd get it anyway. I still haven't really decided which Metroid I prefer over the other.

This would be perfection.

Why not a have Retro Studios develop a niche JRPG strategy game instead? Both would get the same reaction when you present the idea to Nintendo. Truth is the studio costs money to run, they want some returns.

The thread title is really fitting, I guess it's the only place that have not been invaded by haters and trolls...
It's pretty nice to be back and enjoy E3 with you guys and gals...
May our fallen brethren and sisters who didn't make it watch over us from heavens as we conquer the E3
And fuck you Nintendo for surprisingly announcing a ND while I had banished myself!

I doubt it, Nintendo has been keeping into their secrets very hardly this time.
I could kill someone at Nintendo if they'll propose their mor important titles without the Gamepad. especially Metroid with its visors...

I was thinking about this last night. Any projected release date for CARS yet? Maybe that will be the launch racing game this time around.
EDIT: Nope, March 2013.

I must admit, nintendo touched my soul when they said they would try to guard against spoilers. That shit went beyond gaming for a brief moment with me.
