Hmm if its an external bump on your neck, and not in your throat, then I have no idea man. It's probably nothing TOO bad.

Sudden lack of IdeaMan in thread responsible for cancerous growths… confirmed.

Didnt they say in an earlier interview that Wii U online would be account based?

Yeah, we've known that for months¹. Being account-based does not preclude the existence of friend codes, if that's what you were wondering about. Unique identifiers are used in every account-based system out there. Whether or not you have to ever manually key them in is what people should be potentially concerned about, but the fact that they happen to still be called "friend codes" does not mean anything in this context.


So anyway:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/12/crytek-boss-reveals-timesplitters-4-faces-numerous-hurdles

Welp, I guess it's time to pack our bags, face the truth, and give up.

Spoiler

NEVER! Keep fighting until Cortez can fix whatever happened in the past that caused Call of Duty to be more popular than TimeSplitters!

¹ I believe Iwata told us about the accounts waaaay back in that Q1 NintendoDirect.

It feels weird being in a Nintendo community thread where all the love, peace & happiness is replaced with tentative words and broken dreams. =(

Give it time. After self-hyping for a year, this disappointing E3 took a lot out of us. Especially when held-up in contrast to the Nintendo that pulled-off that 2006 showing; plenty of us, myself included, mistakenly came to the conclusion that Nintendo knows how to properly conduct a new console blowout and that this E3 would've been a slam dunk. My, how things have changed.

Easy prediction: as more and more games are announced and as we draw closer to Launch, you'll get to see some of the spark come back. Launch excitement is hard to contain, and is often contagious. Especially if we find out more about games coming from Japan.

But we're gonna need some time to digest all of this. Or, umm.., a lack of "all of this."

 

[Thraktor]

ME3 Wii U is so weird. The multiplayer is fun, but the campaign is almost worthless to anybody who hasn't played the last two. A bundle pack of ME2/ME3, like the monkey suggested, would be ideal.

I've played the first two on XBox 360, and don't pay for XBox Live, so in theory the Wii U version would appeal to me for the multiplayer, but there's no point in me waiting five months to pay (probably) €50/€60 for it on Wii U, when I'll be able to get it for €20 or so on the XBox 360 much sooner. Free multiplayer (and hopefully slightly better graphics) will have me buying Assassin's Creed 3 on Wii U, though.

One could assume that such games would be rendered at 720p and not 1080p (as in the Dolphin emulator), for best possible stability, and thus probably wouldn't be that worthwhile for too many people (that aren't casuals and actually care about visual fidelity). That's if you mean Super Mario Galaxy or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess anyway. I really don't see casuals buying those games only for a higher resolution. Older titles like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask could be interesting to play even in 720p, and they would probably sell well because of their legacy and similarity to that of Super Mario All-Stars: 25th Anniversary Edition etc.

The hardware perhaps has something to do with why no HD collections have been announced, maybe performance is insufficient when Wii games run in high definition. By that I don't mean I think Wii U isn't strong enough to run such, but the architecture may hinder things. Of course just speculation on my side, perhaps someone can elaborate on this matter.

The Wii U shouldn't have any problem running versions of Wii games in 1080p HD. Unlike relying on processor-intensive emulation (as Dolphin does), developers can simply take the source code they have for the Wii version, and simply rework it a little for the Wii U. CPU code would probably be able to compile and run on the Wii U with almost no changes, and while GPU code would require a bit of work, Nintendo and AMD could write up guidelines on how to port TEV code to run in HD on the Wii U's GPU architecture and, aside from a handful of games (eg anything by Factor 5), the process should be pretty straightforward.

I think you also underestimate the potential demand for HD rereleases of Gamecube and Wii games. The HD collections we've seen this gen have been dirt cheap to make and generally sell several million copies a piece, for franchises which are far smaller than Mario and Zelda. I think Nintendo could also go the route of doing HD rereleases as download only for the mid-level franchises, and then go with retail releases for, say, a Sunshine & Galaxies HD collection, or a Wind Waker/Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword HD collection. It's potentially a great source of income for Nintendo this coming gen.

 

[StevieP]

Is that worth writing about? Im not buying the weaker CPU comment.
I am buying that not all developers are created equal.
And the human tendency of blaming someone else for their own lack of competency.

If it is indeed Broadway again, the CPU *is* weaker in most ways. However, the same guy just posted that it may not be broadway (see above) so all the doom and gloom may not yet apply. If it isn't broadway again, it would have to be something like a 476fp or 470s, no? And if that's the case I don't see how one can consider it *that* bad.

I've been pondering recently on the notable absence of gamecube compatibility announcements clashing with the announced wii compatibility. While I've been discarding this just as a PR matter, I actually had a forehead-slapping moment just now: it's absolutely possible for wiiU to be wii-compatible, but not cube-compatible. It's all a matter of how much the CPU can be down-clocked.

Considering the way they did GC emulation before (i.e. it wasn't really emulation, it was turning the Wii into a GC via downclock+memory card ports+GC controller ports) I'd say they just don't want to spend money on putting all the GC equipment on the Wii U again. Like they did for the $99 Wii. They will have to retool the GC games to accept Wii U pro controller input or something (and save to flash) which, of course, costs money and will likely be reflected in price. I will miss the Wavebird, though!

Especially weird is seeing EatChildren so beaten and broken - kinda wish Metroid x Star Fox was real. Even though the East Coast of Australia would have been obliterated, that might have been funny (unlike the conference).

Let's be fair. E3 was a shit show. It was terrible for all of the big console manufacturers, but that same level of terrible shouldn't have accompanied the (major) reveal of a new console.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

I might not always agree with you HylianTom but don't deprive us of the right to see that pup of yours. =P

I can't say that the conference inspired much hope and confidence but, whether it's because of the general Nintendo favouritism (which I like to [naively] think isn't a synonym of stupidity) or the exam season-inducing hallucinations, I think the launch period could be rather interesting.

Being a loyalist to a corporate monolith is a very curious thing but it's curiouser to do it together!~

 

[Glorified G]

How much do you expect GCN VC games to cost?

NES - $5
SNES - $8
N64 - $10

Do you think these prices would get lowered?

I think this may be the most ideal.
NES - $2
SNES - $5
N64 - $7
GCN - $10

But of course it's Nintendo, so we'll see

NES - $5
SNES - $8
N64 - $10
GCN - $15

I hope gc games are $15, but I wouldn't shocked in they went $20 or more.

Tell me when someone makes their own code, rather than just porting it from the PS360.

What difference would that make? Would the shitty cpu somehow be better?

Yeah, we've known that for months¹. Being account-based does not preclude the existence of friend codes, if that's what you were wondering about. Unique identifiers are used in every account-based system out there. Whether or not you have to ever manually key them in is what people should be potentially concerned about, but the fact that they happen to still be called "friend codes" does not mean anything in this context.

¹ I believe Iwata told us about the accounts waaaay back in that Q1 NintendoDirect.

It wasn't so much in reference to friend codes or anything like that gamergirly was referring to, but this quote:

GM: Can you download a game right away when you see it on your Miiverse? Will you still have physical games too then?

Cindy: Yes. What we said is that every game for the Wii U, and this is true for the Nintendo 3DS too, will be available in both packaged as well as digital. It’s really about choice. What I remember as a parent, I prefer the download because I won’t lose the disk. But some people thrive on [having the physical game], to each his own.

GM: Is there a way you can play your games on another Nintendo, for example if I go to my parents’ house and want to play on their console?

Cindy: You’ll have an account system so you’ll be able to access your account anywhere.

So...my games are tied to my account?...?!? (If this is old hat and already known, pardon me, I just did not know that.)

I just haven't heard anything about the games being tied to the account, as opposed to the system. The context makes it seem that it is account based and you can access your games anywhere you want to log into your account at.

The only information I found about it is from Nintendo's website for Wii U that says:

Nintendo eShop: The digital storefront for Wii U will be available at launch and offer a variety of content for people to download and enjoy. Consumers will also be able to purchase and download select games that are also available at retail stores.

It doesn't mention though whether the games are tied to the account or system.

EDIT: Thank you for the friend code information though GameplayWhore!

 

[Donnie]

The comments I received weren't from a guy that looked at a simple design doc with a list of console specs. The source from whom this info came is a developer (core tech) who worked on porting his studio's code from their PS360 build to WiiU directly. I believe the expectation was to see a drammatic speedup, but after performance tanked they realised that the CPU performance on the devkit was well under par.

Which is what you'd expect when trying to drop code that's designed for a pretty specialised type of CPU (Xenos is built around floating point performance) onto a more standard design. There's plenty of CPUs far more capable then Xenos overall that would also struggle with very floating point heavy code (a Phenom II x4 for instance). Not only that but they're also no doubt dropping there sound and I/O work on there, when WiiU has dedicated hardware for that.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

What will this thread be then?

Absolutely delicious sunshine~ =)

.. also, do you guys think the Wii U's initial launch (as projected thus far) is weaker than the Wii, Gamecube or Nintendo 64? It only suddenly dawned upon me that I really quited enjoyed the Wii's launch software let alone its launch window software (is a filthy, hippie Wii Twilight Princess guy) though I couldn't explain how much the general buzz around the Wii's launch contributed to this.

Surely, the Wii U launch doesn't look /that/ bad? There just seems to be a lot of untapped potential.

I still say that on paper, the Wii U is one of the stronger launch line-ups ever.

Sequels to 3 of the biggest games of the past generation in New Super Mario Bros U, Wii Fit U and Just Dance 4.

Ports of some of the most critically acclaimed games of the generation in Batman Arkham City and Mass Effect 3.

Major 3rd party release in AC.

New exclusives in ZombiU, LEGO City Undercover and Project P-100.

Revival of a classic franchise in Pikmin.

Single player, co-op and multi focus.

Its well-rounded.. again on paper.

It really really really lacks that killer app though. That one game that folks rally behind.. as a sign of this being a new generation, and why we need this console.

I'll be around, especially during work days, haha! On my days off, I'm currently re-igniting my love affair with Super Mario Galaxy.. ahhh..

As we get closer to Launch Day, I'm going to get antsier and more unable to concentrate on gaming, and I'll gravitate to GAF more and more. So I'm taking advantage of the relatively slow (news-wise) summer.

What if that was it.. what.. if Nintendo pulled out their big guns?

I've considered that dark possibility. The current state of this thread is downright pleasant compared to what it would be in such a situation (and I might add that the mood/discussion in here certainly seems to run counter to the "mindless Nintendo fanatic" archetype we hear about so often).

If those were Nintendo's big guns, I'd love to know what the heck all of their many studios have been doing over the past year or two if they weren't making Wii games..

It's a pretty decent launch lineup that hits most categories. There are a few key areas in which it is weak, such as racing and Japanese-style "role playing". We know from mentions from the on-highs that there are more games planned for the launch window than was revealed, and a couple have popped up since E3 ended. But saying any more than that would just be me fanbegging.

There is just no way that is true, especially given Nintendo's expansion lately. If Nintendo followed this same strategy in 2006, the only first party announcements would have been Zelda, Excite Truck, Wii Sports, Wii Play, and maybe Super Paper Mario. Pretty sure people would have been just as angry.

And only 3 of those made it out at launch.

I believe Super Paper Mario would have been outside their launch window since it was an April title, if memory serves me right

 

[Shadow Hog]

Speaking of VC, I wonder if they'll apply any upscaling? Not to the pixel-based games, mind (they'd have to resort to shitty emulator upscaling filters, which never particularly appeal to me, although if they had a good RF filter for blurring the image I'd be okay with that), but kind of like N64 games on the first Wii; they're clearly running at a higher resolution than they were to begin with.

1080p Super Mario 64... kind of want. Admittedly it'd make the game's various shortcuts even more glaring, like how Mario's model severely loses detail when the camera gets too far away from him, but on the other hand, the resulting image would be so crisp!

Well put. The only thing missing to me are major online multiplayer games, but I think those will be filled.

Add in BLOPS2 (and 007 Legends?), some EA Sports games, and something from Capcom/Konami/Square-Enix.

And isn't the Japanese event Wed and Thurs? I expect to hear from the other Japanese companies at that time.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

By virtue of my own selfish predilections, I'm really interested in what Japanese third parties have in plan for the Wii U. I've developed a very strong affinity with Atlus over the past generation (due to their fantastic DS output) and I'd be interested in what they have.

When one thinks of the 3DS launch, those screens of publishers committing to the 3DS (with vague titles regardless) was really effective in inspiring confidence even though many didn't come to fruition. I really do wish that something similar had happened with the Wii U where Nintendo provided a list of vague titles -- maybe just a tease to incite the imagination.

[QUOTE="HylianTom]On my days off, I'm currently re-igniting my love affair with Super Mario Galaxy.. ahhh..[/QUOTE]
You're a good man Kaptain. *salutes*

Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 64 compose some of the most prominent titles in my pantheon of games. The Wii makes all of those extremely accessible, the handsome little rogue. If the Wii U can manage a few games with the calibre of SMG2, I'd be a particularly happy person.

But saying any more than that would just be me fanbegging.

A trip to Subcon both literally and metaphorically would be welcome -- take me with yoooouuu~ [6-1 booooo]

ALSO, maybe I should really stop procrastinating on property law wasn't there supposed to be a London Nintendo event today? I'm in Aussie-land so I'm not entirely sure when that was meant to be. I suppose it'll just be E3 stuff but it'd be nice to see some more footage.

 

[BlackJace]

1.5 GB just feels like an off number to me. 2 GB would be fine with me. I wonder what's stopping them from putting in an extra .5 GB of RAM.

Yeah, I'm expecting a recap of what we've seen along with a generic RPG and some weird mini game collections. It would be nice if I'm wrong.

 

[Eradicate]

I thought everyone would be excited about having linked games/accounts to access games on any console? I guess not.

More speculation news:

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/353349/ea-holding-fire-on-two-unannounced-wii-u-games/

EA is planning to reveal more things soon. Promising a bigger line-up for the Wii U than ever for the Wii.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Japanese event? I've not heard anything about a Japanese event. Why do we need a Japanese event? TGS '12 is only three months off, and disregarding that Nintendo doesn't attend that, their third parties could...

...actually, "three months off" might be compelling reason for there to be a Japanese event.

 

[BlackJace]

That's good I guess, but it sounds pretty standard. I know that Xbox does this. I don't move around to peoples consoles very much, and when I do, it's a hassle to download the games on their system for such a short time.

As for EA, that's nice. Hope that's true.

I honestly have no idea what Nintendo/EA/ATVI play is at this point.

But, it does seem to speak to the fact that E3 is no longer considered a major show for many.

 

[wsippel]

Japanese event?

I actually don't remember seeing any confirmation that such an event will be held or when - but assuming such an event does indeed happen (supposedly this week, was it?), I have no idea what to expect. After E3, I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[lwilliams3]

It means Nintendo is leading the way with future console design.
Which is good, considering the WiiU might become the baseline console to code from.

The system is strong enough to get current gen ports from the HD twins,
but wont deliver much in performance boost. In some cases might not
even run as good. But we currently do have some games, AC3 as an example, that have been ported which do show slight improvements.

This is what I'm getting from the lastest info as well. According to some statements from Bgassassin, the PS4 may be similar in design, but stronger. The Durango may or may not be bit different. This may mean that downports/up-ports between the Wii U/PS4 will not be as difficult compared to how it could have been. The Durango seems to be the one that will be a bit out there in RAM and design so far.

 

[Spieler Eins]

I actually don't remember seeing any confirmation that such an event will be held or when - but assuming such an event does indeed happen (supposedly this week, was it?), I have no idea what to expect. After E3, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Iwata supposedly said that their would be a special introduction of the console for Japan one week after E3. However, I can't find any links for that anymore.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

the 1st party exclusives are one reason to buy Ninty Hardware the other one is (for me) its never breaking...NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii all are still working...

It's why I'm sticking around. I had to replace both the Xbox and the 360. Just not interested in sitting down for a big game and watching my hardware fail. MS needs to pick it up next gen.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Nintendo said that they were going to schedule a followup event to show off the Wii-U games made by Japanese publishers, because for some stupid reason they decided to only show Western-developed games in addition to their own at E3.

So we don't know a date or anything like that?

 

[Eradicate]

Madden & Fifa...

Probably! I don't know if they'd just suddenly reveal something "new." I'm sure anything else would be based on one of their franchises or a port.

I honestly have no idea what Nintendo/EA/ATVI play is at this point.

But, it does seem to speak to the fact that E3 is no longer considered a major show for many.

I get that impression too. It just doesn't seem to carry the same importance with them as it used to. E3 has to change. Plus, with it being so easy for news to spread through many other channels, I think companies want to dictate when to show things off on their own terms, not just based off an annual event.

Speaking of which, the Japanese press event thing is either this week or next, but I think it is later this week. I've seen the news on it somewhere, but I've been scouring so much news, this stuff gets lost.

And yeah, even though other companies do it, Nintendo hasn't. I think as Spieler Eins said, having that insurance there is nice (especially with the VC content). It's good for showing off retail releases too. I'm just glad Nintendo is doing it now.

 

[Sadist]

Such a weird, weird situation.

I reckon one of them is FIFA '13. The other one being MoH Warfighter or NfS Most Wanted.

 

[gamergirly]

Wonder what the two EA games are going to be

you really don't have to do any wondering.

FIFA and maybe MoH? I don't think its Madden- Peter Moore seemed to hint that would not come out until next year.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Actually, what are the game genres that need to be filled?

I'm guessing at some of these, as occasionally the info is not very detailed and occasionally games straddle genres. Genres which are undersupported are in red.


Action: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, Ninja Gaiden 3, Assassin’s Creed III, Tank! Tank! Tank!
Adventure, Linear-ish: Darksiders II, Ben 10: Omniverse
Adventure, Online: <like ten games rumoured but nothing confirmed>
Adventure, Open world: LEGO City: Undercover
Batman: Arkham City

I had to replace my PS2 twice (result didnt buy a PS3) the XBox 1 is still running good the Xbox 360 had to be replaced once.

So maybe I can stay with the WiiU alone this time.

[IdeaMan]

Another entry in my grand scheme to create positive threads about the Wii U to help build the anticipation for the system before its launch:

EA deny neglecting the Wii U and will announce 2 additional games for it this summer + "unprecedented partnership" + their explanation of their discretion on the console this E3

Yeah, it was posted the day of the E3 conference. It's fake.

why did I have to see that? :*(
