I dont think they waste money tho, the manage there money pretty good, which is why they can afford to support WiiU and Vita, unlike EA you dont see them closing studios left and right and firing people and as far as I know they are not in debt.

Didn't they do up like a whole new Prince of Persia and then just can it all after years of development?
I still expect Watch_Dogs to hit WiiU, but just because they rated it doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things.

It's PC, iOS and Wii U, right?

Didn't Ubisoft say a Wii U port costs them roughly one million dollars for them to do?

I posted this in the Tantalus thread, but I think here is ok too:
It seems the game they're working on it's an enhanced port of a AAA game, like Deus Ex.

I wonder by them saying not hardcore do they just mean its not a game thats about killing or shooting. If thats the case something like Kingdom Hearts 3 could fit.
I wouldnt consider Minecraft publishers as a top notch publishers they are Indie right?
That would be odd. Outsourcing an already outsourced game. And not a top notch publisher.
It either has to be something that isn't announced yet for anything or maybe a remake of a GC/Wii game.
There's no way it's a Japanese game. It'll be a western made game.
Yeah, right. That "absolute top notch publisher" discards Minecraft.
top notch... notch... hmmm... lol

Seems unlikely; and would be a waste of their talents based on their work on DE and ME3. Not really a "top notch publisher" either as was said.
So a port of a western game for a "top notch" publisher, but rated less than M and/or "not hardcore"? I'm not really coming up with a whole lot..
I think you're right; that's what I was thinking of. The rumor was the Wii U version getting delayed (with no mention of the others).
And as for cancelled games; I think Aliens was the only one.
Me either, but that's apparently what it is.
Which is why I'm thinking either unannounced or a much much older game.

Yeah, can't help but point it to being Minecraft, but as said, Mohjang isn't top notch (top notch would be like Activision, Ubisoft, etc).
A denial of it being Minecraft would be very helpful.

Lol yea I went thru all the games from last year and all the none M rated games are either on WiiU or Sports games or indie games, so no clue at this point

Btw, do you think Nintendo could go and help promote Project Cars on the Wii U? Being that the Wii U doesn't have GT or Forza, it's the one first party that could do so... Also it'd be interesting if Nintendo worked to publish Watch Dogs in Japan or something. Ubisoft could do it, but maybe Nintendo could help with the advertising.
That could at least help Nintendo keep Watch Dogs and Project Cars on the Wii U for 2014.

Doubt it's unannounced, the port is a complete rework, kinda odd to call an upcoming all-new game that on Wii U.

You all keep forgetting that the lead dev's name from Mojang is Notch.
Could just be a complete coincidence though, we shall see.

Non M-Rated AAA games...
-Brink
-Portal 1&2 and Team Fortress Wii U Edition
-Batman Arkham Bundle: Armored Edition
-Overlord 1/2/Wii game Complete Edition (not AAA...would be cool, actually)
-Goldeneye Reloaded Wii U Edition
That's uh, all I got...

The image of Nintendo themed hats in TF2 is in my head. It fits so well.

Damn son!! Really intrigued by this one!
Could it be Nintendo or Sega?
3DS, GC port?
That is a way for Nintendo to get SW out quick.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon HD? 
I'd prefer Sonic Generations out of the potential family AAA games.

AAA you say.
Not rated M you say?
It's this, clearly...

Yes it would.
Another GameCube remake would be sweet.

Has it been made clear whether this is a 'late' port or something made along side other versions of an upcoming title?

Guy says it's akin to the work they did on Deus Ex, soo...
Do you have any evidence to support your bet, or is it just pessimism? Watch Dogs was just rated by the ESRB this week. The Wii U version is specifically mentioned in the rating overview. I haven't seen any talk about Project Cars being axed either.
It's obviously a port from a canned sequel featuring a character called Jade.
Ok maybe not, but the fact that it's an assignment like that of Deus Ex, but not a game like Deus Ex... hmmm... What could it be? What are the non realistic/violent AAA games that came out some time ago on other platforms?

Sorry but I hate this, this is how wrong rumors are spread, and even more doom and gloom spreads for the Wii U.
A dev from Project Cars recently spoke about the Wii U version and for Watch Dogs it has been rated, plus there is no rumor about it been pulled, like others say, it would be unwise to pull it while it seemed it was far in development.
About the Tantalus game, it is a sports game, or a Sega or Nintendo game.
The only things that fit this in regard to upcoming games to me are the following.
Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts 3 or Kingdom Hearts 1+2
Everything else that is upcoming that would be a port and classified as AAA is M rated. These have or will get a Teen rating and that significantly limits things. We know FFXIV is coming to the PS4 (already on the PS3). It would be on the Xbox but Microsoft is likely the one stopping that because of how they want it to connect. At least that's what I recall reading that was why it wasn't on the 360 when FFXI was in the past. Wii U already has Dragon Quest in Japan so it can run an MMORPG just fine. Kingdom Hearts has Nintendo connections as well. It's had releases on the GBA, DS, and 3DS. The mainline games are just missing. It would work well on the Nintendo home console.
These are also Japanese games. Specifically Square Enix games. Tantalus worked on Deus Ex which is also a Square Enix game. Possible they could be doing more work with them. I am realistically leaning more toward Kingdom Hearts though here.

Kingdom Hearts would be cool, but b/c it's Square I doubt it.
I agree Square Enix wouldn't likely allow an outside studio to mess with internally made games like those but the list is tiny. Ubisoft have their own internal studios to do ports. Same with Warner Bros and Activision. Capcom's only non-M rated games are fighting games I believe and those certainly aren't coming to the Wii U. Take 2 (2K and Rockstar), Bethesda, and EA don't give a damn about Nintendo hardware so even if they had a game that would fit it wouldn't be a possibility.
It was rated M.

It's 720p.
Official screenshots are 720p and I think Konno himself confirmed it.
Can't wait to see more of X. I wasn't a huge fan of Xenoblade, and yet, I still think it has tons of potential to grow as a series.
From the screens and video, seems like a mix of Xenogears and Xenoblade, which is a good thing. I hope they try and put a deeper story in the game, a la Xenogears.

Most likely mid February. We had one on December about games for 2014 and NDs usually happen every two months.
We have been getting NDs every month recently, so it will be one this month, plus the investors meeting so news will come out either way.
When is the investor meeting?

Well, there's the FY13 Third Quarter Earnings Release on the 29th of January. As Aquaramine pointed out here, big changes could be coming. Nintendo probably wants to have something exciting presented prior to the investor meeting so that they can devote time after to more important things (rethinking strategy, reconstruction etc.).
But if a Nintendo Direct broadcast doesn't happen in January, the earning release and the investor meeting will provide a lot of interesting things, so we don't miss out anyway.
