This long news blackout by Nintendo could backfire.

It's certainly backfired for me as far as I'm concerned. Fuckers. I'm angry. I'm genuinely angry.

 

[IdeaMan]

Well, we could learn interesting things about Big N approach of development in those days with the conference about 3D and the AI summit with Steve Rabin of NOA. It could be relevant to the Wii U, by some stretched thinking, and may fuel the speculation.

These last days, it seems that some of you are fed up to speculate, and just want screenshots & the revelation of the final hardware

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

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

*crumble crumble*

Maybe he will come back soon and elaborate saying there were a few that looked "really hot".

 

[cyberheater]

And I tell you another thing. The next wanker that comes in this thread and teases about something he knows about WiiU but can't spill the beans because of a NDA is going to get a right rollicking from me.

Either spill the beans or fuck off. Stop cock teasing.

 

[NeoRausch]

Everybody get on board. Dissapointment-Train is boarding!

 

[Myriadis]

Even though I don't except anything interesting from the GDC, I'm still somewhat excited. Just why?

We are fed up with waiting. It's around a whole year with no concrete news. Fuck that.

Harker did more harm than good :lol

Cool, another EA Gamechangers.

 

[ffdgh]

it been almost a year since we had any info and most here will accept anything relevant?

 

[specialguy]

I have no idea if anything will actually leak, but I figure at least the odds are much higher at a giant gathering of devs and press, nah mean?

 

[BY2K]

Well, not a year now, but at E3 it will be.

 

[cyberheater]

I'm fed up. Can you tell.

 

[Übermatik]

I am now officially de-hyped.

 

[Bisnic]

I wish E3 was still in May. Why did they have to delay it a few years ago?

 

[Rösti]

One minute since the ports to North Hall were opened.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'm fed up. Can you tell.

Nah...

 

[royalan]

We are fed up with waiting. It's around a whole year with no concrete news. Fuck that.

Not only that, but they are taking a HUGE risk by betting the horse on E3...

If they don't absolutely kill E3, they might regret staying so tight-lipped.

 

[Übermatik]

One minute since the ports to North Hall were opened.

And still nothing. Someone still has to at least describe/take pics of the Nintendo booth and what it's like...

 

[BY2K]

I'm fed up as well.

 

[IdeaMan]

Please, someone, put some relaxing music on the speakers

 

[cyberheater]

I'm fed up as well.

I'm sorry. I feel I'm bring you down.

 

[Inigo]

I think we'll most likely get some information on the WiiU at Nintendo's financial year-end investor's meeting.

Will it be what GAFers want? Of course not. What it will be is something to calm nervous stockholders about the upcoming console. It probably won't be specs, but more likely a reveal of a partnership with a third party or unrevealed features of the WiiU (if there are any).

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Not only that, but they are taking a HUGE risk by betting the horse on E3...

Who says they are???

That's months away, they could give information any day they want to whether through Nintendo Direct or some late-minute "conference".

 

[HylianTom]

I'm not fed-up. Seems like E3 2006 was just yesterday, so I'm taking it one day at a time. It'll come.

Well, technically Nintendo can announce right now that they bought Microsoft, Sony, Square-Enix and the Wii U will be released in 10 minutes worldwide; along Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Halo, Uncharted, God of War...

And some will still complain that is not enough and wanted more.

But is still fun. XD

lolololololololol

It's all going to be at E3. And it's going to disappoint. Period.

That's what happens when you make the fanbase wait an entire year for ANY information. We get our hopes up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too high. If they spread it out over TGS, GDC, E3 and a bit in between, we wouldn't have this problem.

Oh well.

 

[IdeaMan]

Ok, the Flickr official GDC gallery

Maybe some interesting photos will appear there

 

[Azure J]

So I've been out of the loop since about Sunday, has anything new broken out that I should be updated on?

 

[Übermatik]

If someone could PLEASE just get us a snapshot of the Nintendo booth? *sob*

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

lolololololololol

It's all going to be at E3. And it's going to disappoint. Period.

Just like last E3 disappointed(moreso 2010's), huh????

;]

nah, just a lot of teasing

They could. I don't see they giving significant info about Wii U unless it's at a big event. But they could.

 

[VAPitts]

Please, someone, put some relaxing music on the speakers

i wouldn't try to reason, they're a little u know, challenged

 

[AniHawk]

nah, just a lot of teasing

TESTING, ffdgh. just a lot of TESTING

 

[Nibel]

No, no, NO! I won't accept this!

NEED MORE COAL!

 

[AntMurda]

What time is Koichi Hayashida from EAD Tokyo making his presentation ?

 

[HylianTom]

No, no, NO! I won't accept this!

NEED MORE COAL!

Awww.. poor little coal monkey!
(that was quick!)

 

[guek]

I feel like there's a reasonable chance we'll hear some new 3DS games announced. At least there's that...

 

[walking fiend]

Is Nintendo really good at keeping their secrets, or it's just that other companies don't care or deliberately let them away?

 

[Rösti]

What time is Koichi Hayashida from EAD Tokyo making his presentation ?

Wednesday 3:30 - 4:30 pm PST. Room 132, North Hall.

.....shouldn't he be kidnapping babies, and is his pic ax a banana XD?

 

[Übermatik]

Yeah, I reckon we'll get some 3DS news at least... but I'm hungry for Wii U info!

Nintendo really are bastards.

“I’d like to say that within five years, certainly well north of 50 percent of our revenue will be coming from digital, and significantly higher than [50 percent] of our operating profit will [come from digital],” predicted Christian Svensson, SVP of Capcom Entertainment in an interview with Gamasutra during GDC 2012.

“And certainly sometime before five years from now, every game will be digital and retail day and date [same release],” he added. “On some platforms that’s already the case, it is on Vita. In Europe, the PlayStation 3 is already that way. I wish it were that way in the States as well. But I’d say that’s an inevitability. No one is really fighting that, but the question is when that will occur.”

So, Capcom games for Wii U available through the Nintendo Network in the early days after the launch (maybe day 1 if the service is operational) ?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Maybe they don't want to take the focus away from the rejuvenated 3DS.

 

[Anth0ny]

Just like last E3 disappointed(moreso 2010's), huh????

;]

Last year disappointed me, and I was going in with a fraction of the hype from this year. We learned about Project Cafe in... April 2011. That was two months before E3.

There's still 3 months til E3 right now ; _ ;

 

[HylianTom]

Is Nintendo really good at keeping their secrets, or it's just that other companies don't care or deliberately let them away?

Honestly, I think they're paranoid about some secret feature being stolen from them. So they're good at it.

If, for example, Microsoft decides to follow Nintendo into Tablet Controllerland, Nintendo might want to hide one or two final features until it's too late for Microsoft to adapt in response..

But wouldn't that recommend everybody to have an HDD?

But that doesn't make sense in this particular case. Nintendo's committed to launching the Wii U this year, while MS and Sony haven't even announced consoles yet. Nintendo could wait until the month of launch to reveal some secret feature, and there would still be room for their competition to adapt.
