Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Dishonored Dev talks about the Wii U. Be warned, it's depressing, predictable news.

Yup, few posts back.
I don't even know what it is. Some games just pass straight over my head.

Hey guys, has anyone posted about this new game I just heard about? It's called Dishonored?
Nope I must've Myst it.
Than I guess Nintendo will have to convince him.
The reason why he feels that way isn't because motion controls didn't work. Its because they didn't work 100% of the time. Those who played SS know very well what I'm talking about. Whenever you have a pretty lengthy session where the controls work for you, the entire idea behind the Wiimote comes to light and it shows exactly why the Wiimote could and should be a superior control method to pretty much any genre (other than fighting games, that is). But as soon as the controller misreads a gesture, its over. In the back of your mind you will always wonder if the controls will work for you when you really need them, you just can't trust the controls.
For me, it took a lot of practice to understand how the game behaves for me to finally understand and enjoy it to the fullest, but there are those that won't give it the same chance I did, and that, IMO, is the Wiimote's biggest problem.
That said, since the problem has already been identified. A new, improved Wiimote could have elevated all this nonsense and finally showed the true potential of Motion controls.. but eh...
I'm really hating them right now...for them, I mean Nintendo...
We will get Wii U news...Eventually lol.
probably after the launch, yes....HAHAHA
They confused everybody way too much with all their Wii U related statements - they should keep their mouths shut now and deliver an amazing game instead
That's crazy talk...E3 2013 lol.

Wait for September. Maybe Nintendo Direct next month, but I think it's more likely that Wii U news will be saved for an actual press event.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
The trouble is, as others have said, the other formats version of Darksiders II is coming out soon. A lot of people won't want to double dip. If there's something major about the Wii U version they're not allowed to tell us, they'd do well to mention it now.
Wii-U's big reveal e3 2011
Quiet for a year
OK guys we have the big RE-reveal at e3 2012
Nothing new really (what? NINTENDOLAND)
OK, RE-RE-Reveal at the August Nintendo direct
Look at all these Japan only games yay.
hmmm howabout we do a RE-RE-RE-Reveal at the September conference?
Here's all the games we've already told you about but here they are again along with their e3 demo's for you to see again.
OK, nevermind just buy a full 1 pager in the Sears Christmas ad in December

Hey, as long as they announce TimeSplitters 4 for release by the end of next year, I don't care how they manage their timing before the system release.

I'm convinced that ZombiU is going to shift over 1m units not to far after launch. Think Red Steel sales and then some. It's going to get an absolute shitload of marketing from Ubisoft and I'd put good money on ZombiU being one of the select few titles that Nintendo are going to match marketing money for.
Assassins Creed 3, Arkham City, BlOps 2 and Darksiders 2 should do okay but the other hardcore title I can see selling like hotcakes is Aliens Colonial Marines.
The U is going to have 4 system sellers imo - NSMB U, Lego City Undercover, ZombiU and Aliens Colonial Marines. 3 at launch and 1 in the launch window.
You're going to have more than a few executives from publishers kicking themselves when they realise how much money Ubisoft are making after showing strong support to a Nintendo console launching with a 2D Mario game. The console is going to sell gangbusters. Supporting any reasonably priced console at launch isn't much of a gamble tbh, if you release even a half decent game with decent marketing you'll make money on it due to there not being a great deal of competition.

I would cry glorious tears of joy if all of those were announced. Hell just for a new Earthbound alone I would pay 599 for the console day one.

I try not to fantasize about things like this. It makes reality a bitter pill to swallow. E3 2010 was pretty great, though, Skyward Sword hiccups aside. Everyone just seemed suave, comfortable, and charming. E3 2012 felt forced and awkward with the lines.

wth is RE6 doing in a dream list? Game will be an even bigger insult than RE5.
But the only things that really were new from these are Project P-100 and arguably one of the worst looking Wario games ever made. (Though just like Nintendoland, the Wario game really just is a compilation of tech demos that were also already shown a year ago)

If they could just say something. To frequently get weird answers from developers telling they are unauthorized to talk about their games is just crazy. It's like Nintendo is afraid of something, I don't remember a radio silence this great between E3 2006 and Wii's release the same year.

I suppose people just expected something on the scale of E3 2006, especially after Nintendo's year-long silence. Reggie sounded much better at E3 2006. The message and the potential of Wii was so great. It was an easy sell, and Nintendo pulled it off brilliantly.
Conversely, Wii U is a bit harder to showcase. Judging by that Luigi's Ghost Mansion demonstration, that was pretty apparent. However, Nintendo could have sold the audience on Wii U much better than they did. I understand they focused on launch games, but I don't agree with that decision.
I think Wii U's launch line-up is stronger than Wii's, but the actual conference was pretty weak.

If everyone else can openly talk about your system, what do you have left to surprise people with?Rösti;40311138 said:
That was E3's real problem. Nintendo made some great game announcements, but we already knew they were coming. If it was all kept on the downlow, people would have blown a gasket at Pikmin 3. Instead it was "Yeah, we knew Pikmin 3 was coming - what else is there?"

I need more info.
I've seen a lot of people hoping it would be made, and it would seem interesting.
