Alright, gottcha. I'm just of the mind that a real HD Mario is by default a sidescroller. I love the Galaxies as much as anybody but Nintendo needs to figure out a way to perfect the camera and bring the same tile perfect accuracy and non-floaty controls to a 3D game. That would be cool, that would be the perfect 3D Mario in my eyes.

Indeed. He actually seems to think it's all really cool. But I think he just has an enthusiasm about his entire job that very few, if any, in his field can match.
On a side note, while I know that man can't bear me any children, I'll be damned if I wouldn't want to try, if you dig my lingo.

Lol yeah. Does he normally have good nintendo coverage or is he just enthusiastic about everything? I liked his Darksiders 2 interview and in his ubisoft interview he basically confirmed splinter cell blacklist for the wii u
Sorry. Mirror's Edge just wasn't very interesting for me. It was like my character was trying to visually navigate the original Steel Battalion controller through interpretive free running. Mirror's Edge was a strong idea, but it's not a strong franchise. A second attempt is just throwing money into a pit.
it was a first-person platformer. i think only like 2 or 3 of those have ever been done. and man it controlled so well (on the 360 at least).
it's a game of deception- it points you on this path and you kinda just go ahead and do it. and then you play the time trials and do a speed run of your path and whatever. then you learn there are ways around the level. there are secret areas to reward you with a shortcut for your skill and ingenuity. it's classic platforming presented in a new way and i thought it was fucking brilliant. it looked and sounded pretty great too.
He mostly loves Sony but goes nuts over everything and anything. Every game he reviews he says is the best game of the year. I don't think he has ever hated a single thing.
Totally agree, it was Trackmania, Super Meat Boy, Trials, Lost Levels quality speedrunning in first-person perspective. Control wise it definitely could have been a bit better, imo, but otherwise the time trials were one of the high points of this generation.
I'd love to see a Wii U version or sequel where very subtle movements of the gyro, sort of shifting weight physics and better air and fall control could contribute to this formula. Maybe only applicable to casual runners, but if you learned to master the weight-gyro stuff, it would open up totally new paths and potential strategies.

Just out of curiosity I decided to check out the fees that Apple imposes on developers. From what I gathered (surprisingly easily), developers are given 70% and Apple takes 30% (no charge when apps are free though).
If Nintendo has indeed dropped the percentage of revenue taken from downloadable software from 30% to 15%, that is MAJOR news. Though Nintendo's tough (and long, relative to other platforms) approval process and the other fees related to becoming a licensed developer as well as the requirements to even apply will always be large deterrents, such a change would definitely ensure that the Wii U was pretty well off when it comes to download content (this already seems to be the case w/ the announcements so far)(especially now that they've gotten rid of the download # requirement and advertisement seems to be done for free upon release). Unlike the 3DS which even with this change would still suffer from a lack of engine compatibility (not even fricken Unity supports the damn thing ): ), the Wii U has no such problem and so can benefit fully. I'm excited for the Ushop's future if this is a permanent deal. If anything, it'll certainly be more attractive than Live of PSN for the most part.
I'd really love for a developer to have a tell-all session regarding 3DS and Wii U e-shop development one day (some like Jools have made small comments, but didn't say too much).....

Thing is, aside from the 30%, it costs USD$99 to develop for iOS and while there is a lot of shit on iOS, there's some great games that would be awesome on other platforms if it wasn't for the shitty way platforms holders treat developers. Then go look at the eshop and you'll see rubbish at worst and passable at best and I wonder why Nintendo approves shit like that and devs thT want to make great gam get a hard time.
Xillia was mainly done by the people who made Hearts. ToH was the first game of the third team... so we had Team Symphonia, Team Destiny and Team Hearts.
But there aren't any more teams, only leads/main directors with all staff being shared or working on all games, they are not 'separated' anymore.
Alfa System didn't work on Tales of Innocence R, 7th Chord did (the developer of the Keroro RPG that used the Hearts engine).
Except that I don't agree with plasting WiiU to every big first-party.
F-Zero should remain very hard difficulty and imo the perfect name could be F-Zero UX
I got overly enthusiastic when miyamoto said F-Zero would be a good idea for WiiU and written this http://pastebin.com/p2mqzfWX (in english too, but i have it littered with other translation comments currently)
Somebody needs to FAX this to Nintendo HQ in Japan or USA depending on where you are, shouldn't be that hard, and I'm it would probably cost a something to send it over 9000km from my place.
Star Fox needs more aerial stuff, don't turn it into zelda/adventure, I rather have Star Fox Adventures 2 as a separate IP and StarFox only for air. StarFox really in open space could prove spectacular, actually driving by planets and stars, with the motion cockpit-mode controler it would be awesome, oh the possibilities are HUGE.
EDIT:
English http://pastebin.com/0JFdMrwS
However it's not the perfect final version since i was doing in some text doc I saved elsewhere and cant find it now, it's pretty much the same except some word arrangements that I had done to parse the translator properly and retain sense, i had to pre-translate certain parts or they will not be properly translated when i put the whole text in ..etc

You summed up my feelings about Mirror's Edge in a couple of paragraphs.
I would have ranted too long, and lost my point somewhere in between. You're aces Ani.
er, thanks. i've talked about it so much that i've pared it down to those points in particular. of course, i could always bring up examples to back up my points, but that would take effort.
mirror's edge, portal, and valkyria chronicles are the only three games i played where i honestly thought, 'whoa. next-gen.'
F-ZERO is such a phenomenal franchise, and I would love to see it back on the Wii U.
I can imagine it now... great HD graphics and a silky smooth frame rate (what they achieved with the Gamecube assures me they can squeeze all the power form the Wii U they can), vehicle customisation with the GamePad, hectic 30 player online races...
It just saddened me when Iwata gave those comments about the series and it's place on ninty's next console... sure, it gave a hope they'd think about making it, but it pretty much confirmed that nothing was in development...

Well.. F-Zero on Wii U is alive
It's no the same man :'(
In fact, that's like Nintendo are trolling me. Hm. Maybe I'm being too cynical and it means it's a franchise they consider to be valuable to the company and that will be revived soon.
I seriously think Nintendoland is Nintendo's attempts at raising a new hardcore gaming army
First they get them acquainted wit all these awesome titles, then release the games at a later date...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Ninendo should make F-Zero x Golden Sun.
Reintroduction of the franchise to new
Nintendo fans can only be a good thing down the road.
And Im betting Monster Games is handling it for a mid 2013 release.
Yoshi's Island x Killer Instinct.

Animal Crossing x Eternal Darkness
I actually had a dream like this once. The character's face was twisted in fear, all the houses were on fire, the sea and ponds were black, there was rubbish and weeds everywhere and all the animals were crying/ill.
ANYWAY.
For some reason that sounds like an intro to a Zelda game
One day i must play Earthbound, the amount of love and the reverence some people have for it makes it seem like the Game of Forever...

Actually I've been very pleasantly surprised by the good quality software that's appeared on the 3DS eShop so far. You may have a point with the majority of Wii eShop titles (although there are still a fair few good quality titles there too, World of Goo is awesome) but if the improvement shown between the Wii and 3DS eShops is anything to go by then we should end up with some cracking titles available to download for the U.
It was actually a very disturbing dream. All the sound was warped and horrible too, and there was this low organ tone throughout the experience. Also, y'know when you talk to animals and a little pipey tune plays? Every single one had a droning, moaning jumble of off pitch notes instead.
I don't know for the other countries but from a direct feedback I had by the French publisher, a few weeks after its release, they were ok with the sales. I think it should be at least the same (ok) in Germany.
Guys...

I hope this time there's a few bigger, longer tracks with huge straights for some chances at duelling it out with other races/speedy overtakes etc.

The demo on the 3DS is actually OK. If you like building sims then you might like it. It would be better with a different art style though - the gimpy true-to-life farming realism is totally lost on me.
I sent tweets to all nintendo account for that, hopefully hey noticed but i don't expect this will make a big impression, if just a few of you guys tweet that to all of em it may create some more of a substantial effect, as one tweet easily gets lost many, but this would be much more noticable.
Sweet, my two least favourite franchises rolled into one game I won't buy.

bring it.
bring it.
If we are playing the "Predict Games" game again, don't forget to add Sonic Adventure 3.
You know there is a Wii U Sonic lurking somewhere...
Also, I was thinking about Wii U's holiday lineup and Sonic ASR has the potential to be one of its biggest hits. Kart Racing, Sonic on a Nintendo platform and a Wii U exclusive character. Could be big $$.

I wish that Nintendo would show some 2013 WiiU games sometime., desperately want to see what the new 3D Mario game will be like and look like...

As I recall Nintendo has exclusive rights to Wreck-it-Ralph video games. It was part of the deal to get classic Nintendo characters in the movie. So if the movie is as big as it seems its going to be and the WiiU version (edit: of Sonic ASR) has the exclusive Tie-in it could sell very well...
They will..... in 2014.

Of course, it says "sneak peek" so it could be anything basically, but this is the first "public" US appearance of Wii U as far as I know. And as Wii apparently is not interesting for GameStop anymore, perhaps this could be the start of some campaign. Still, I don't like the sound of "sneak peek".

Also, here's something new (it's from yesterday, but I haven't seen it posted), it's a project by Slightly Mad Studios and Gamagio:
Reminds me of Road Rash a bit. Here are some screens (version is not mentioned though):

Oh, right. Well, the first public US event featuring Wii U then. Though gamescom will feature Wii U titles mainly by Ubisoft and Warner Bros, right? As Nintendo will be exhibiting at GameStop's event, maybe we get to see more from the first party titles, and maybe something new even (not necessarily games, but perhaps a look at the GUI).
So another announcement of an announcement... Rich from IGN tweeted that around mid next week he'll be able to tell us about what he was doing in Japan this week. His tweet mentioned it was unprecedented what they got to do or experience.
I guess we'll see, but perhaps we might get some type of Wii-U news next week.

Does he cover anything else besides Nintendo?

yes, he does. I know of an NDAed press tour to Japan I assume he is talking about, which happened this week and is not Wii U related. Maybe this is something different but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Ya, he said he's covering RE6 and I think there was another game, maybe FarCry. I'd have to check my tweet history if that's possible. I know I asked him that exact question when he was at e3 and he actually responded back to me.
