Yeah, I'm about to be disappointed

This, and the fact that the past three pages have been utterly cluttered with rumours that were both anonymous AND old. We've had these discussions a million times before. This latest revelation may very well be bs, but at least it is something new.

It doesn't really matter if they're true at this point. He just needs to prove he *has* them to avoid getting banned.

It undoubtly will. All of Nintendo's major releases for a year launched the weekend before Black Friday. It's good business sense. Release the hottest new gadget less than a week before America's craziest shopping day.

A better idea: Wait for Nintendo to reveal the information in September. THEN ban him (that is, IF he turns out to be wrong [which is an ASTRONOMICAL possibility, imo]).

Best course of action.

Not really. :\ He's always honest. Maybe you're confusing him with Reggie?

Or... they could just pull an Apple, with a late night Nintendo Direct.
"Let's recap E3. Oh and you can preorder Wii U starting tomorrow! We will announce more details next month, stay tuned!"
You did say wow. Just not in a good way.

Wait, Batman Armored Edition ISN'T A NEW GAME??

You know, Nintendo did that so many times before with information I wouldn't be shocked if they did it again lol.
I don't know how much salt they need yet. The rumors are still working their way through my Nintendo Pessimism Filter. I think it may be clogged.

I can't even imagine what any real Nintendogame will look like on the WiiU. I still can't believe that they didn't show anything at E3.
Anyhow, none of these rumours sound reasonable to me.
Same. It is less "too good to be true" and more fanboy fantasy land. I might believe the BLOPS2 bundle... but that's about it.

Just a side thought:
I was really excited about the Wii U Gamepad. Then I got an iPad last month, and don't really care about the "wow" factor anymore. The Wii Remote was different, and was something that you couldn't experience elsewhere at the time. This Gamepad is different. There's nothing (except software) that will make consumers with an iPad, Nexus 7 or any other tablet to flock to the Wii U. Nintendo HAS to have software worth dying for, and I don't mean just their Wii Sports/Wii Fit/Mario/Zelda/Pokemon. Nintendoland is a start, but in my opinion, is not a compelling one for the typical non-Japanese consumer.

I should have PM'ed those that wanted to hear the info, and not make it public to
cause the backlash. Or conceal the info as my own personal wish. Sorry about that.
Too bad, I wanted to share more.

But these games make massive profit. How are they irrelevant?

Cool . . .that's the same gpu that I have in my computer. That seems pretty good to me. I can play Skyrim at 1080p averaging about 40 FPS with settings on mostly high. I also can play Deadspace 2, Deus Ex: HR, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 1 & 2 all at 1080p with settings on high or near high with at least 30 fps on all of those.

Bingo, jonny_boi. Why waste everyone's time with this nonsense?
So NSMB and Pikmin are no real Nintendo Games.
But I know what you mean (F-zero, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kirby, WaveRace,...). They'll come soon enough I guess, but in this era it's not easy to impress people with stunning tech and graphics. It will be all about the artstyle, detail, ... In other words, THE NINTENDO DIFFERENCE

I meant something on a level equal to Wii Sports. I'm not saying Mario and Co. are bad and won't sell. But they need the new Nintendogs/Brain Age/Wii Sports/Wii Fit of this generation to make people move from other tablets to the Wii U.
Nintendogs+cats sold like shit compared to the Ninendo DS release.
I'm not talking about this crowd. I'm talking about the general consumer. People who don't actively play video games, which is what Nintendo seems to be after.

They arent. I know a ton of people who are into those games and all of them are buying a Wii U to play them.

Pikmin was like a first glimpse, but we all know that it was a Wii game. And you can still feel it. Mario could have been done on the Wii too. And both of them can't really make up with any significant gamepad features either...
Yes, I was vague (and lazy) with my statement but I indeed assumed it was comprehendible to anyone who'd read this thread

This should pop up on the screen everytime time you boot up your Wii U lol.

And thats exactly my point. I agree with you, jonny_boi, when you say that Nintendo needs some new multimillion sellers like WiiSports, etc. That's how you keep a platform unique and alive. However, the WiiU is in a very favourable position right now, as it is launching with several tried-and-true heavy hitters, including sequels to WiiFit, NSMB and Just Dance. This should not be considered a weakness, but a strength.

CASE SCENARIO:
Sarah bought a Wii back in 2008 to play some Wii Fit and some Wii Sports. She also saw that Just Dance was a $39.99 game, so she picked that up and had fun with that. She had so much fun that she also picked up two sequels with new songs in them. She also might have picked up New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Mario Kart Wii to play with her kids and with some friends at a party, but she doesn't really play by herself much. Recently, she picked up the new retina iPad, and is having a blast playing Cut the Rope, Where's my Water, and enjoys the other non-gaming apps on the iPad, such as the cooking apps and iBooks.
Why should she now buy a Wii U? For her, she already has a tablet, and Wii Fit/Wii Sports. Her kids are not old enough yet to want to buy a Wii U.
By the way, "teh Angry birdzzz is not a deeeeeeeeeeep geam" is not a compelling argument for this type of consumer. It already occupies her time.

Sounds like the ipad is much more suited to sarahs taste than a Wii U. I suggest she stick to her ipad, and i hope she has alot of fun using it.
