Makes me wonder the pricing plan though XD I mean look at the eShop version of NSMB2, I hope Nintendo priceline ain't too crazy on the Wii U. I mean good for them that they don't wanna piss off retailers, but hopefully DD only games are reasonable priced.
I can't really describe it: It felt like the Wii Pro Controller - but it didn't feel right because of the design. It was too light, too "plastic-ish", too "toy-ish" - unlike the 360 controller for example. Yes, I could play good with it, but I can't see myself spending dozens of hours with that thing.
That really annoyed me :lol
It looked so good on pictures. Oh well.
It's not the main controller so im sure its pretty cheap but it might cost cheap too, CC only cost 19.99, while an 360 controller cost 39.99, so it being cheap may not be a bad thing as long as its functional like you said.
I think I'm not following you. Where is this coming from?
I'm fine the way they already are tho. Nintendo has too many IPs that could see new life on Wii U

Yea they have a lot of new IP's on Wii and we have gone over them, but a lot of older IP's missed Wii, like Star Fox, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, and Wave Race. Would love for them to come back on WiiU.
It was, I now it takes a lot of effort and time, but I hope that if they do make some new mascot, they will work as hard as they can to make him/her/it as likeable as their other mascots.
Wow, thanks for that link! If he really started working on it early 2012, then it has been 7/8 months in development, no?
Maybe that's enough for a trailer, but I don't wanna get my hopes up.
"FUN" is when you don't get bored within a few minutes of playing and start looking down on the floor or up in the ceiling instead of paying attention to the game wishing it was over.
DSP may be off the shelf so it's possible it wont undergo any changes whereas the GPU and CPU are custom so Nintendo wont give any concrete numbers till they come up with a finalized design. It may also protect against potential corporate espionage (again, both processors being custom and constantly worked on).
So am I to assume you play a game even when you're so bored out of you mind doing so, that you start doing other things instead, like look at the floor or up in the ceiling or hey it's raining outside? That's kinda stupid, why not switch to a game your having "fun" while playing instead.
Ohh, wait it seems your hung up on the word "FUN"......
Why play a game if you are not ENJOYING playing that game......
Anyway i was reading the wii u hype thread and nintendo seriously needs to announce a nintendo direct and get their wii u shit together. I've never seen so many people care so little about the arrival of a next gen platform by a major company before
I'm gonna laugh so hard if no nintendo direct is announced this week and they wait till TGS or the fall conference (assuming the fall conference is real)

If they're willing to somehow farm the development out to Ubisoft Montpellier, I will happily purchase a digitally downloaded copy of "Sonic the Hedgehog 5".
He told me that he had personally seen one work at 30 yards bit beyond that he couldn't say. He then specified that there were also no walls separating the game pad and system at the time, then added the standard anywhere in the living room line before stating that they always officially state a shorter range than what is technically possible because depending on their setup not everyone will achieve Max range. We then spoke of the wave bird functioning at double Nintendo's official range, but he would comment further...
Anybody speculating on what that Japanese support for the Wii U might actually be?
I'm expecting maybe an established franchise game or two from Capcom (MH, RE, or something, maybe even a fighter). For the most part though I'm actually expecting new IPs from a lot of those companies if they are in fact developing for Wii U. A new IP or spin-off from Square Enix maybe.

It's so obvious but I never thought about a Dreamcast port getting a Virtual VMU with the WiiU pad. I don't know why exactly but the thought of that make me giddy.
I looked at some of Sega's games that will be coming out this fall (closer to when Wii U might launch)
Jet Set Radio (Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, Microsoft Windows)
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, PC)
Nights into Dreams... (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, PC)
Sonic Adventure 2 (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade)
The Cave (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, PC) <--- This comes out 2013 I think.
There had been talks about Hell Yeah possibly coming to the Wii U:
While no one would confirm anything directly to me, games such as Sega and Arkedo's Hell Yeah and Gajin Games' Runner 2 are, at a minimum, seemingly being considered for Nintendo's next system. In the fantastic indie area (the best part of the show floor, in my eyes), almost every developer has an eye towards Wii U's downloadable platform.
Still not played Shenmue 2 yet - got it in mint condition. Was waiting to get a VGA cable for my DC, but I'd rather wait for this to happen if it was to.
Chao Garden on the Gamepad? YES!!
I'm really hyped about Wii U's eShop, it's getting tons of praise and even Sega is praising it.
Wii U event will be glorious(if they don't reveal it before with a Nintendo Direct).
Becareful with who you argue with in threads guys including myself. Im just now seeing azak got banned. Most likely happened in the sumo wii graphics thread.

First off, the game pads were tethered, no luck testing distance, however I spoke to one of the actual Nintendo employees there
Not the black shirted cheerleaders, the plain clothed guys who fixed the systems if there were to be any type of problem

Wait a minute, Cloving is banned too?! If he was, I can tell you it wasn't for that thread, the thread was closed and Azak banned while he was still standing, so I would guess it was for something else entirely.
Also of note, Azak's avatar is gone, so.... perma'd?
Well, I guess we should say thanks for the mod who banned him showing restraint and hope he learned his lesson, cuz... yeah, he went a bit over the edge. I had a feeling someone was going to throw themselves into a ban in that thread.

I thought Mass Effect 3 was built on UE3, or is this a middleware that can run along side in addition to!?!?
Edit, just read the basic overview. Sounds like a stand-alone optimisation tool
The purpose of Umbra 3 is to increase frame rate and help you get better performance out of your game.
Umbra 3 does this by optimizing critical parts of a game such as rendering and by providing tools to help with content streaming and game logic. We offer solutions that either work 100% on the CPU or use both the CPU and the GPU.
Umbra 3 builds an internal representation of a game scene and uses this data at runtime to perform efficient queries that can be used to e.g. determine the set of visible objects for the player or determine the set of objects that are within a given distance from a point.
Umbra 3 is available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, pc, iOS, handheld platforms and others on request.
