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):

Seems pretty cool.

 

[Hoodbury]

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.

Can you share or are you NDAed up as well? I'm guessing it's Capcom related?

From a Dusty Cartridge interview with Katsuhiro Harada, courtesy of Kevin Cassidy:

Speaking about the Wii U, many people are worried that it isn’t a next generation console, mainly saying that the graphical horse power of the Wii U is comparable to the consoles of this generation. What are your thoughts on people saying that the Wii U isn’t really a ‘next-generation’ console?

I’m a bit reluctant to talk about the Wii U specs, when I mentioned something earlier it got totally blown out of proportion and twisted. However while developing Tag 2, since it’s very graphic intensive because of the multiple characters on screen, there was still some power left over for graphic capabilities so the graphics chips seems to be pretty decent. But to be honest, that’s not really even relevant because people seem to be focusing too much comparing the raw specs to other hardware. You really have to be looking at the capabilities and what features it has. For example, if you’re playing Tag 2 on the Wii U at home and your parents get mad at you for taking up the TV too much, you can just take it to your bed and start playing there. Being able to take a high end game and play it in your bed is something that’s really unique so that’s the thing people are kind of missing.

So, the graphics chip is now decent, isn't that also the general conception of the CPU? It seems he is also trying to escape the question by mentioning other totally unrelated features of the console. Perhaps he's trying not to create another storm. Also, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 doesn't strike me as very graphic intensive, at least not what was shown from the Wii U version. Sure, there are some nice looking textures and shiny lights...

How many multiple characters are we talking about?
Also, interesting that he said that you can take the gamepad all the way to your bedroom.
The actual reach of the gamepad hasn't been confirmed, has it?

I think that's why he's not trying to say anything, when the said the clockspeed was a little bit slower everyone went crazy and we know devs can't talk about power so he can't really say anything about that.

Interview with Tomorrow Corporation (Little Inferno)

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/07/interview_tomorrow_corporation_little_inferno

NL: Are you planning any features exclusive to Wii U?

Gray: We’re tinkering with some features, but one thing we know for certain is that it will be the only version to exclusively have a Wii U logo.

NL: Are there any multiplayer or community features planned?

Gabler: We're planning to offer local cooperative multiplayer, like World of Goo. Fire is more fun with friends, kids!

NL: Do you have any interest in developing for 3DS?

Gray: It seems like it could be a good fit, but we won’t know until we have some time to tinker with it.

NL: Are you hoping to launch alongside the Wii U?

Gray: We’re planning on releasing Wii U, Windows, Mac and Linux versions when the Wii U launches.

So the the game will release when the Wii U comes out, nice .

IN. MY. VEINS.

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.

Spoiler

Yes I'm acting like the game is being made

although i enjoyed gx music, because i liked the game the music should go back to it's roots.

Slow day at Neogaf again.

 

[Loghorn150]

<sob>

However, even if publishers to go the whole "Bigger, faster, stronger" when the next 720/PS4 come out, Wii U may very well be downport friendly.

I highly doubt that neither PS4 or 720 will be tons more powerful than Wii U at all anyways, especially considering Sony's current financial status & Microsoft focusing more on making the 720 an all-in-one mediabox & kinectbox.

I think/hope third parties will be more smarter next gen than they were this gen. I think ignoring the Wii was a mistake, especially for the companies that went bankrupt because of the cost to make games on the 360/PS3.

I completely agree with this. Most of the 3rd party publishing & developing studios would still be around today if were to focus most of their efforts on the Wii (& not being biased towards it), & focus less on PS3/360.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Wait, how do you leave over graphics?

Only thing I can come up with is that the Wii U has resources left over that the other two don't have. I just hope it's actually used. I really want to buy this game, I had so much fun playing the first arcade game.

 

[Sadist]

First the August one.

 

[AzaK]

Not for me. Nintendo sucked whatever hype I had left at their E3 conference. I'm not spending any emotional energy on those fuckers until they show me they are serious. It's their turn.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

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.'

Sorry that sounded weird.

I'd been up for a good 23 hours at the time.

I was just meaning to say "I agree."

 

[Sadist]

You need to sleep monkey man. Sleeeeeep

 

[ArynCrinn]

Agreed, I'm pretty lukewarm on anything ""Nintendo conference" related after the disaster of E3. So I'll just get hyped about the few titles that interest me and shut up about how Nintendo's blowing it with these reveals.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

First the August one.

Well I'm not getting my hopes up for that one since it seems to be more for the 3DS (As far as I can tell) so if there's Wii U tidbits in that one, I'll be very happy.

EDIT: I guess I should clarify that it isn't so much hype as it is hoping that Nintendo has SOMETHING to show for next year or even a few more launch titles. They need to have something that will turn heads or at least get people who are on the fence about the system say "I want that now." I'm not going to let the hype get to me again like I did for E3 because A) That would be impossible and B) It would do no good. I just want to be assured that Nintendo really did learn from their past mistakes of the 3DS launch.

 

[Meelow]

I want to be hyped but I'm scared too after E3, even though the Nintendo Direct afterwards was amazing.

 

[schuelma]

Screw it, I'm getting hyped for the Japanese conference. Those regularly deliver and there is clearly a lot left to be announced, unless you really think Tanks! is the extent of Japanese support since last year.

 

[Sadist]

I'll wait just a bit more before boarding the hypetrain.

Shocking Alberto's comments are hopefull, but what are the chances of those games/rumours being reveiled during a september conference?

Edit: no love for upsidedown Miyamoto?

 

[Meelow]

Two Tribes possibly hinting at the Wii U version of Toki Tori 2 being in 1080p?.

A certain chicken with duck feet looked super awesome today in 1080p!

I think Nintendo will focus only on 3DS for the rest of the year, next year we could hear something about Wii U games.

Joke post?

 

[TunaLover]

Joke post?

No?
I mean they will talk about Wii U games that are ready for launch, but nothing new, no new games, I'm not expecting megatons.
And I think that there are other games in development, of course, but Nintendo will not show them, at least not in this early stage.

 

[Father_Brain]

It's not just going to be a Japanese conference. They have worldwide launch details to announce; you can bet that there will also be events in the US and Europe.

 

[Meelow]

No?

I really doubt that, if they didn't announce 2013 games this year that could hurt sales.

There are absolutely going to be new 3rd party games announced for Japan. Iwata himself has confirmed it and the absolutely zero no information on any Japanese games besides Tanks confirms this.

 

[TunaLover]

We have info about Ninja Gaiden 3, Tekken U, P-100 and Tanks!

 

[Meelow]

I know what your doing...Your saying this so everyone will have very low expectations and than at the Fall Conference Nintendo will surprise us and we will forget about E3 .

 

[Linkhero1]

Not for me. Nintendo sucked whatever hype I had left at their E3 conference. I'm not spending any emotional energy on those fuckers until they show me they are serious. It's their turn.

Same here AzaK. I haven't really been following anything Wii U related since E3 until recently. Here's hoping they don't disappoint in the months leading to launch.

 

[ohlawd]

This.

TunaLover... we're aware of your little scheme

TunaLover's hypemeter kinda died during E3.

 

[TunaLover]

>_< That´s impossible, you guys will never have your hype low, no matter what happens.

I do, I learn the hard way.

[BlackJace]

Hey guys. Long time no see.

Yeah, I wouldn't put it as strongly as you AzaK, but I'm still waiting for Ninty to play ball. E3 did nothing.

They DO seem to be getting things right with the 3DS though.

 

[Meelow]

>_< That´s impossible, you guys will never have your hype low, no matter what happens.

I do, I learn the hard way.

Well it seems like Nintendo is going to treat E3 like Microsoft has been treating it soon, but we clearly know Nintendo Direct is targeted for the core and Nintendo's Fall Conference last year was really great.

 

[chris3116]

I don't know you but I read some of your posts and what I understand all you want is Zelda or Metroid and you don't like Japanese games. How do you have emotional energy to Nintendo before E3?

E3 2012 in overall sucked for the "core" gamers (and I hate this word). E3 is now for the mainstream press. You don't think that Microsoft or Sony conferences were good. They weren't.

 

[Nibel]

To those of you who will participate in those Wii U events: post some impressions in this thread, will ya?

 

[Meelow]

Are any of you guys also annoyed that some people are hating on the rumored $300 price?, seriously they act like it should be $100.

 

[Redford]

I miss pre-E3 WUST, and all the regular posters that are now MIA. :'(

 

[JordanN]

I'm more annoyed at the people who said Pikmin 3 has gamecube graphics.

Looks like Iwata was right. If people can't tell the difference between Wii U and Gamecube visuals, PS4 and 720 will look identical to Wii U.

Lol I know right?, it's like "wow I didn't know GameCube games can look that good" lol.

Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pikmin 3

The annoying thing is people act like "well we didn't see a game that looked better than PS3 and 360 games at E3 so I guess the system is on par with the PS3/360"

It's really stupid, people got to look at games like Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360) and Halo 4 and see the huge difference, they look like are from completely different generations.

 

[Redford]

As long as there's more branded trash.
