Support NeoGAF

[Turrican3]

Hmm.. I wonder if Nintendo might've changed their mind in the meantime..

Who knows

Spoiler

I hope it so

CHOO CHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol

 

[Nibel]

A year, a year without any real info on the Wii U whatsoever

A thousand times THIS.

They've presented a console for one day and since then no real valid info has leaked. All we have is speculation some of which might be true and the most of it is of course crazy talk (which is fun of course, don't get me wrong).

I expect some significant changes, really. And I'm certain that everything we've seen so far will be changed until their big show begins. E3 is going to be either one of the biggest disappointments since 2008 or it's going to blow our minds like we deserve it.

Ok, I'm steping out the train before it reach the sun.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I told you guys we won't get shit about the Wii U until E3.

A year, a year without any real info on the Wii U whatsoever.

E3 better be fucking amazing, Nintendo.

This is the year of Wii U, huh? Thanks a lot Reggie.

 

[Übermatik]

CHOO CHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha!

And yeah, I think we might be left disappointed here people. Which means 2 things - all is hype and excitement is pointless and GDC will suck, and E3 is going to be immense.

GAF is going to be on overload.

 

[Bisnic]

But but Reggie said there would be some new stuff between CES and E3!


lol reggie

 

[popeutlal]

Real news always disappoints, vague hints are the way to go here on GAF.

 

[Hiltz]

We did get vague information on NFC technology and Nintendo Network. Not much but it's something.

 

[Nibel]

A Wii U dojo would be so damn neat.
Give Sakurai a camera and let him do it, Nintendo! :lol

 

[TriGen]

But but Reggie said there would be some new stuff between CES and E3!


lol reggie

He should of said it would be the half year of the Wii U.

 

[Übermatik]

Yeah, I wonder what Reggie meant by that too. Nintendo must be announcing stuff at their own event/discussion if nothing materialises today.

 

[NeoRausch]

We did get vague information on NFC technology and Nintendo Network. Not much but it's something.

Whoa! I totally forgot about the NFC-Stuff!

 

[TunaLover]

We should get the bird demo in direct feed at least, don't give up hope guys.

 

[HylianTom]

GAF assumes too much every time (but my fingers are still crossed). GDC will likely disappoint with lack of Wii U news.

Watch.. Reggie or Iwata is going to drop a bomb without the slightest warning between now and E3..

 

[Nibel]

Watch.. Reggie or Iwata is going to drop a bomb without the slightest warning between now and E3..

That's the spirit.

 

[EloquentM]

Hype train rolling to a crawl.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Hype train rolling to a crawl.

At least there's a good chance it will overheat in the tunnel though.

 

[Übermatik]

Hype train rolling to a crawl.

So this would be the right time to tell you my uncle works for Nintendo and has seen the Timesplitters 4 Wii U footage?

 

[Nibel]

We need more coal to keep that thing powered, dammit!

 

[botty]

We need more coal to keep that thing powered, dammit!

Save it for e3, when you guys will need it most.

 

[volpone]

Goddammit. It's been nearly 7 years now since the 360 and PS3 were revealed. I just want to see all my favourite Nintendo games in glorious HD finally.

A man can dream though...

 

[EloquentM]

So this would be the right time to tell you my uncle works for Nintendo and has seen the Timesplitters 4 Wii U footage?

Lol that won't save you from a banning.

 

[Übermatik]

Lol that won't save you from a banning.

It's worth a shot

 

[Hero of Legend]

We should get the bird demo in direct feed at least, don't give up hope guys.

This, I want the direct-feed video of the showfloor version which featured a number of improvements over the conference video.

 

[Kjellson]

I can't wait to see how Mario and Zelda looks on Wii U.

Fuck, the hype is LITERALLY murdering me.

 

[ThankeeSai]

"Whilst most will hope for new information in regards to the company’s forthcoming home console, the Wii U, these presentations will instead discuss progress on the Nintendo 3DS. Similarly, the show floor will only see a strong handheld presence."

You must be the same person who told me your dad had pokemon yellow on sega genesis back in the day.

 

[Hiltz]

The Captivate event is held in April, so Capcom may have some announcements to make for Wii U.

If it's a no show for GDC. Then I'm not going to board any other train apart from E3.

 

[BY2K]

At best, we'll get a New Super Mario 3DS teaser at GDC.

 

[GameE]

At best, we'll get a New Super Mario 3DS teaser at GDC.

Why would that be there when Iwata doesnt even have a key note?

 

[IdeaMan]

So much tension & stress & nervousness here !

Hey guys, eat pink marshmallows and drink some milk

Or a cup of tea while you put your little finger up, with some british phlegm !

 

[JosephManderley]

Pretty much given up on hearing anything worthwhile from GDC now.

This long news blackout by Nintendo could backfire.

Imagine if their E3 presentation sucks, or there is a "$599 moment"? Hype killed.

 

[tsab]

We won't get nothing until E3.

That's final.

I am hoping for a Nintendo Direct on 22-23/4/2012
They do do them every 2 months right?

 

[StevieP]

I just scrolled through 20 pages (which happened in *1* night) with absolutely NO content on them. Haha you guys are bananas!

 

[BY2K]

Why would that be there when Iwata doesnt even have a key note?

There's a presentation about how Super Mario 3D Land came to be, AT BEST, we might get a 2D Mario tease at the end.

 

[Wiz]

We won't get nothing until E3.

That's final.

Sadly. Only way is if someone leaks something.

 

[Nibel]

There's a presentation about how Super Mario 3D Land came to be, AT BEST, we might get a 2D Mario tease at the end.

But do you think that a game this important is going to be presented without Iwata? Plus, the presentation isn't public as fair as I know, or what?

 

[BY2K]

But do you think that a game this important is going to be presented without Iwata? Plus, the presentation isn't public as fair as I know, or what?

That's why I'm saying "at best".

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

You have no idea, man...

 

[tsab]

Quick, someone ask Perrin Kaplan at GDC about the WiiU

 

[Sadist]

A Wii U dojo would be so damn neat.
Give Sakurai a camera and let him do it, Nintendo! :lol

Post number one of Wii U dojo:

"Wh-what's this...? It looks like something familiar! It might be part of the console!!??"

"Yes! It's the controller! Now rejoice everyone on the world wide web, I've shown you one new pic of the redesigned Wii U controller! I opted for a Kirby coloured one, but the suggestion got shot down by Iwata-san." *laughs*

 

[Jarsonot]

Guys we can't give up hope, only our combined power of belief has any chance of forcing leaks!

Belieeeeeeeeve!

 

[Rösti]

Quick, someone ask Perrin Kaplan at GDC about the WiiU

Why would Zebra Partners be at GDC? If anything, ask Kit Ellis.

Edit: Nevermind, noticed she is indeed attending, at the session BURN THIS MOTHERFATHER! Game Dev Parents Rant. But she probably knows as much as we do about Wii U.

 

[Nibel]

http://www.nintendo-universe.co.uk/2012/02/08/nintendo-to-participate-in-two-gdc-2012-presentations/

Thinking about this.. there have been even screenshots of the controller at GDC or not? This news is not accurate.

Spoiler

Trying to get everybody back on the train

Don't say that, dude.

 

[BY2K]

And Harker had to tell us some games at GDC were looking hot.

*crumble crumble*

 

[Sadist]

It's time to post this again
