I really doubt it.

I think we'll be lucky if its current stuff as opposed to early 2012 and 2011 ports.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure Madden is one of them.

 

[Redford]

It's strange that Nintendo were showing off the black controller so much at E3 and on their site but a Nintendo rep said that it's only launching in white. Hopefully it's not another of Nintendo's currently typical "We love the core, we love you!....SUCKERS!"

The black controller was the most fascinating thing about that entire ND for me, so they did the job well.
Probably are going to screw us though.

 

[Touch]

So is TGS still a thing or what? If so, what can we expect from Nintendo?

Also that black controller is really nice. Though there is no way they are launch with multiple colors.

Does anyone know what this says?

I know this is kinda old, and maybe got covered already by soneone else, but it says:

Nintendo Ltd

Private Viewing of Wii U

and at the bottom:
About Entry: Limited to people invited [prior to the show].

 

[GameplayWhore]

I think there's a pretty good chance that it'll launch with black only, as a way of differentiating it from the old&busted. I suspect that they're mulling this idea over as we speak.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Like you people are going to have a choice. You'll get whatever color isn't sold out.

I'd be happy with either white or black.

Ahh that must be the Japan post-E3 thing. Probably will be nothing, though I suppose there is a chance a Japanese third party game gets shown.

I think that's unlikely given they are still going after the casual crowd so strongly.

Nope. Black is too sexy. If it's sold out when I'm ready I'll wait.

I'm certainly wanting black at the moment, but I may end up with white to avoid fingerprints. However, black does avoid sticks going yellow...

I'll be aiming for black, assuming we get them down this end of the globe.

An entire planet has chosen the hue of the Super Famicom. There must be a good reason for this.

Yeah, we don't want that. Black Wii U is the only way to avoid that problem.

Nintendo of Australia have upped their game recently imo, I'm sure we'll be fine. Apart from price... but that's not really a direct fault of Nintendo lol

My GBA is pink because it was the only one they had.

It doesn't say

BUT

It reads like something you'd found outside a convention hall, rather than a general ad.

So, soon?

Yeah that's another nasty. NZ$6-700 it'll probably be as it's usually 2xUS straight up

Black WiiU was a dream come true but the Black Wii U Gamepad is so awesome the screen just melts into it when the lights are low

 

[Agent Unknown]

Journalist (entertainment, not directly game related in my case even if I was in the gaming press more than 10 years ago).

Ah, I see. Hey, when you play NSMBU would you mind confirming whether or not the game absolutely requires the player to shake the Upad in order to take advantage of power up features (Tezuka said in an interview that shaking the Upad gives you a burst of flight with the Squirrel suit so I'm hoping it's not mandatory since shaking it would potentially be a lot more wonky than shaking the Wiimote obviously :/ )

 

[Kokonoe]

I'm not into Call of Duty, but I just realized the Wii U Gamepad could make those missle drop killstreaks more interesting.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

there is a locked event Friday right?

 

[udivision]

I think there's a Paris press event this friday, not sure when the japanese one is.

 

[roddur]

Looks like you can add this to your list:

Sacrilegium

....
Sacrilegium is slated for a Q2 2013 release on PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U.

but there is no Wii U logo in their official website

 

[Seik]

Black Wii U or bust. I'm not settling for a white Wii U.

If there's no black one I'll take a white one that's for sure, but if there is any way to preorder a black one I'm all in.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

if Nintendo is crazy enough not the have that black WiiU at launch then I am crazy enough to keep my money in my pocket until they do have what I wanted

don't tease me at E3 with it and go purple on me

 

[Terrell]

Seriously, "white is for appealing to Apple-loving casuals" is so 2008. If anything, they should make it aluminum/black with aluminum trim to appeal to casuals now.

 

[AzaK]

Well that's not what Miyamoto thinks. Mid-end of last year I remember him mentioning that white is the best colour for broader appeal. I guess I should have said "mainstream".

But yeah, Nintendo wouldn't be able to afford to make something as sexy as an Apple device without charging the earth.

I'm crazy enough to buy a bundled WiiU. Come at me, Activision or whatever shit will end up in there.

PLEASE go purple! White and black are boring colors...in fact they aren't really colors at all Especially black, every damn game system ever made except the Super NES has been available in black at some point in its life.

As they should be. Everything should be available in black.

As expected. Crossing my fingers for an FPA.

Whatever Retro is working on I hope it is not sci-fi. Fantasy, contemporary or historical would be my preference.

[BD1]

I was reading some of the MGS threads on the discussion board, and it was making me nostalgic for Metal Gear.

I know Nintendo is getting killed right now for a launch lineup of ports of old games, I really hope Konami announces a Wii U port of MGS HD Collection. Maybe with HD version of Twin Snakes added.

It would be right in line with Kojima's normal level of support of Nintendo platforms.

heh, I just noticed a funny detail in Pikmin 3. When you throw a rock pikmin at a glass wall he'll keep attacking it by running back and forth and doing a flying leap into the wall. You can spot it starting at 40 seconds into this clip:

That sounds like after a few weeks people will be crying for online player interaction. I really like the idea though. The item demand idea sounds very interesting.

I really hope it comes to fruition. It initially sounds like my kind of game.


Also a poster by the name of Dark_Link92 pointed this out. Nintendo Gamer is claiming the triggers are analog.

http://www.nintendo-gamer.net/2012/06/12/wii-u-your-questions-answered/2/

Are the GamePad triggers analogue (I don&#8217;t know y&#8217;see) &#8211; if not why not? (Mandlecreed)

Yes, the ZL and ZR buttons are analogue. I didn&#8217;t see any games that make use of this yet &#8211; there are no racing games to speak of yet on Wii U except for one of the mini-games in Sports Champions (which wasn&#8217;t there) but they&#8217;re clearly analogue triggers as opposed to the L and R shoulder buttons, which are just digital.
