Someone add a question about converting one of those USB 2.0 controllers to 3.0. That's all I'm asking Nintendo, just convert one of them.

 

[BY2K]

We already got an answer. Yes, yes they are.

What, where?

 

[Touch]

Probably already posted, but I didn't see it.

Reggie's on Fallon tonight with the Wii U. Oh, boy.


What do you guys think will happen?

Nothing and/or Nintendoland.

 

[schuelma]

Nothing and/or Nintendoland.

I hope Reggie has enough awareness not to do that.

 

[Touch]

I hope Reggie has enough awareness not to do that.

I hope so as well. But lets face it. What else could he possibly show?

 

[TheCongressman1]

Source?

This, please!

 

[jwj442]

Anything that was easily possible. So I'm surprised they are refusing ports now. Reggie acts like this E3 was their biggest success, which is his job, but I hope behind that facade they realise that they fucked up and act accordingly asap.

While it's buried in PR speak, both Reggie and Iwata have said something to the effect of "our message was confusing at E3 and we will adjust our presentation of the Wii U based on feedback."

 

[BlackJace]

Analog triggers? Sweet if true.

 

[Somnia]

They are showing off ZombiU tonight on Fallon.

 

[GameplayWhore]

The analog triggers story was retracted.

D'oh!

Hopefully they view my twitter message (or others if others posted it as well) and they mention it.

So, this video's a bit old, but have you seen it yet?

"That makes me uncomfortable."

The Nintendo UK boss also said as much in an interview recently.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall of the Nintendo meeting room when they put the final approval on the E3 presentation

Oh okay. I guess they are going to try to push this game as the "ice breaker".

I can see it going over pretty well. They can do the zombie face gimmick with Fallon.

I haven't watched Fallon is awhile. It would be funny to see Quest Love zombified though!

One of the gaming side threads it was said that USB 3.0 would be largely useless for a gaming console. I don't know anything about that stuff, but is that true, maybe?

Since Nintendo is relying on external HDDs for expansion and we won't be seeing a successor till probably 2018, it's necessary.

What would be sacrificed by going with 2.0 and not 3.0?

I guess you'll know soon enough.

A question for who?

 

[Lyude77]

A question for who?

Jimmy Fallon/Reggie. You ask it on twitter using the #nintendotwitterqs. I would do it, but I don't do Twitter.

 

[AzaK]

Jimmy Fallon/Reggie. You ask it on twitter using the #nintendotwitterqs. I would do it, but I don't do Twitter.

So Fallon is going to ask Reggie questions? I think that basically means they will be non technical and pretty mainstream like what colours it will be. I doubt he'd ask them why GTA V ain't coming.

 

[japtor]

Read/Write speeds, aaaaaand that's about it.

Basically faster loading if you have a downloaded game (or install cache if they do that), and I guess faster saving if there's anything big to be saved like videos or some big user created stuff.

 

[Lyude77]

Yeah, probably. It says he'll use some of audience's questions though*. I bet he'll choose the "What games can you confirm are launch day?" or something. That would at least clear up some confusion.

Edit: Actually, Fallon will probably ask him stuff like what games he's currently playing. Sigh. I mean, that's okay, but I know it's going to be like Mario Tennis Open or whatever the latest title Nintendo is pushing. I don't think he's lying, it's just a predictably boring question.

I'd like to know the answer to the colors.

Rumor going around is Fallon will confront Reggie about Pikmin 3 not going online.

He should confront Reggie about the lack of games on Nintendo systems which involve the particular minority of bald hispanic men

I didn't even know what was going on. I was just saying because of the other post.

Optional installs. I would like to be able to use this properly.

I always thought they taped these things during the day?

They usually do. Should have been taped like 7hrs ago.

 

[Lyude77]

That's going to be a disaster. I hope Reggie can find a way to avoid being really angry or raising his voice, haha. Maybe we'll get to see if Pikmin 3 is a launch title, though.

I'm surprised no techy people in the audience hasn't leaked what's was talked about.

Oh boy, another "news blog article" thread with regurgitated information that's cherry-picked and spun into something with a different meaning, and made-up information to go along with it. News-posting GAF has gone down severely in competency, I swear.

 

[Agent Unknown]

WOW, Fallon's show just started and the entire opening was an 8-bit tribute to Mega Man 2's opening! It was some of the best fanservice I've ever seen. Gets settled in for some skits, Roots and Reggie.

 

[Agent Unknown]

It's a NEW SYSTEM, Jimmy!

 

[sphagnum]

Fallon's already confusing the audience about the Wii U. He just said it's a "new system" but that you "use it with the Wii."

Wonder if Reggie will clear that up.

 

[Ryoku]

Never mind.

Yeah, typical troll bait bullshit thread.

SMH, I don't know who to blame any more. I thought Fallon was a gamer. He doesn't know that the Wii U is a new console by now? This is not good. Brand confusion ahoy.

Yes, very disappointing, now the first part of the interview will be Reggie wasting more time explaining it's a new console.

so much confusion

just change the name

Hes also not the only one to mane the mistake. Blame Nintendo and their message, not Fallon.
