The most interesting part is that i think Ubi won't just put virtual buttons & some sort of 2D inventory for it. They intend to have a real, proper use of the DRC for the title. Grain of salt.

Third parties probably like using the DRC for different angles of the same scene because it involves common usage of the rendering pipeline, so you can get much nicer looking scenes on both screens, since you're not doing to full rendering jobs at once.
I'm a good actor. Even still, it's sad that the majority of Gaf thinks of us this way.
Well, this is the Wii U thread number 4 already - would be more suprising if they thought anything else of us :lol
It is common policy for firms to reevaluate their strategies regularly based on new situations and economic realities. The fact that Nintendo is as self-sufficient as it is actually gives it more flexibility in changing its strategy.
Yeah, it's an idea already talked about for a Spiderman or a Mirror's Edge 2 Wii U, with an internal view on the DRC for immersive & very precise gameplay, and a 3rd person one on the TV for a broader perspective & appreciation of the stage.
The possibilities of gamedesign thanks to the system setup are so interesting and numerous.
lol at the rumors relayed by some french websites talking about Android on Wii U.
wow, vg247 speak of that also
and lol at me if this more than very very unlikely scenario happens
wow, vg247 speak of that also
Is that the same site that said Nintendo-Epic are collaborating on a Metroid title?
link? for the fun
Yep. They qualified this rumor of "not very likely" though.
The same for the others, they are cautious, it's already that

I'd be quite pleased if they announced an Android based UI, I discussed it here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36868260&postcount=403
I actually (and this is a point of personal shame) wrote to Nintendo over a year and a half ago telling them they should look into putting Android on 3DS.
Implementation is free, as is forking it for your own purposes, and for their own private software eco system they can have their own software (retail games etc) run in something other than Dalvik VM -- Android allows for that...
They could even write their own store interface, and not necessarily use the Google Play market. Think Amazon Kindle Fire. They could ask developers to tweak (for control) and resubmit Android apps to their own store and it'd be a great way for them to gain a lot of apps very quickly.
I've long felt that in terms of UI design, Nintendo have been trying to reinvent the wheel and they just haven't had the staff to do it well.
Yup. The general rule is skepticism until proven otherwise..Oh I definitely doubt any of them to be true
You know what I would like to see on the Wii U? More arcade VC games. Arcade games are probably my favorite. Most of my XBLA purchases were classic arcade titles like TMNT, Pacman, etc. I would love for Capcom and Konami to release their fleet of beat-em-ups on the Wii U VC. To this day I hold my breath for Capcom's Dungeon and Dragon arcade games to make it to the VC. They were amazing and I want to experience both of them again.

For Rayman? No gimickery needed for that title. Just make sure that I can play the game entirely on the DRC, Ubi.

What, in this thread? Come now, we define HYPE based on vague guesses here!
Also new Wii tie ratio is 8.54. In case it got lost in all the madness, I wanted to re-speculate that due to pursuit for an audienced mixed at least slightly more towards the dedicated gaming audience) at the same point in its life, the Wii U should have a higher tie. Mind, this doesn't mean higher software sales, just a higher ratio of software sales to hardware sales.
also I posted chartz but nobody cared, woe is me!
Hell's wrong with y'all? We spent last night (and a little bit of today) thinking of interesting ways to use the DRC*, there's been a ton of new financial and outlook information. All of this totally dwarfs the approximately two tiny terrible rumours that appeared today.
* edit: okay, there were like two people here doing that, but it was fun!

Oh of course a classic & solid 2D platformer is enough, but we need to think outside the box for every genre with the padlet, even this kind of game could implement an interesting & fun use of the DRC
Wat crappy rumors
The Wii U will be "hardcore" and feature 25ish threads, its OS will be based on Android, every Nintendo IP will be developed in cooperation with Epic and will use Unreal Engine 3, and the main focus of the system will be tv & video on demand streaming.
It's awesome !
Only for the fun of it....
Is that the new hardcore (hartkor)?

You ignored half the stuff I listed. We've also recently have had Warren Spector praising Nintendo's policies regarding keeping down software budgets, information on Ubisoft's biometric feedback title being completed (and then that information almost immediately disappearing from the source), a discussion by Sakurai on Super Smash Cousins*, TimeSplitters 4 allegedly seen in the wild, confirmation that Nintendo is aggressively pursuing digital delivery of retail titles. Some guy posted interesting charts concerning how well software is selling on Nintendo's home console platforms compared to the equivalent previous-gen transitional period, and Pachter wants to string up Iwata by the balls**.
Are you helping, or are you just complaining?
edit: I don't mean to attack with this. It's just that… IdeaMan and I both made a really concerted effort last night to raise up the morale and interestingness of the thread by discussing interesting uses of the DRC. There were quite a few really nice posts thrown back and forth on the subject, but nobody gave a crap about it at all -- people just want to bitch about polygons and such then complain about how nothing interesting is happening in the thread. Also, I have to design a car dealership for my class project, so I'm bitterer than usual.

Yep probably. Ya know a lot of people rip on Hip Hop Gamer, but he's alright in book... he was one of the first people to leak small details on the Wii U last year.

I also would like more arcade games for Wii U's digital store. There are so many great arcade titles that should see reissues, Cannon Dancer, Legend of Hero Tonma, Psycho-Nics Oscar, Quake - Arcade Tournament Edition, R-Type Leo to name a few.
The ratio between arcade titles launched on the Japanese Virtual Console (on Wii) over the European and North American Virtual Console is sad. 77 titles in Japan and 18 respectively 19 titles in Europe and North America. If only the Virtual Console could be region free at least.

Hey your forgot the news about Rayman Legends
For the bold part, well, i've seen that the "Wii U gameplay ideas" thread is like 6 pages long since nearly one year
These kind of discussions will surely be more active once the E3 will deliver a lot of footage of titles using the system features well.Rösti;37309446 said:
I didn't know the amount of Arcade Virtual Console games were so low in Europe and NA. I wonder why Nintendo keeps dropping the ball on VC content. They're kind of doing the same thing on the eShop. Apparently it's been three months since we received a GB VC game. =/

So the financials came out today, still no official word on when the conference call is?
I'm not looking forward to this day only because I have a midterm in a few hours. Honestly, I would be content with whatever little news we get out of the investor meeting.

I fully 100% expect Ubisoft to be "all in" at this point. As in, if it's multiplatform the U is getting it. Period. Day and date release. For at least the first year wherever humanly possible. I'm so certain I'd take a "pick my avatar" bet.
Getting back to Rayman, you could mirror the game on the uPad and have context sensitive touch actions for environmental interaction, attacks and whatever else. If done right it'd add a lot of fun to the game.
I think about 8 hours from now.
I don't recall him leaking anything.
I, for one, appreciate the game ideas thrown-up thus far, with my favorite one by far being the game were you have one screen showing your view while the second screen shows the view of the predator that's hunting you. I think that's the kind of game that could make me shit my pants; I could see it moving lots of systems if a studio were to make it their big holiday headliner title.
And I'll continue to harp on wanting a RISK game for the U. The idea of playing some all-nighter games with some of you guys sounds fantastic (although I could see my other half getting pissed if I were to blow 10 hours on a RISK game on a Saturday night, haha..)
I'll make a point of coming-up with a game idea this week. Be on the lookout.. it can take some time for me to get started, but once I get a concept and start fleshing it out.. hehe.. fun times, indeed!
(but know that your game ideas aren't overlooked over here in my crazy corner..)

One of the complaints about the Wii U presentation last E3 is that it doesn't offer a consistent philosophy. They showed the "guy playing Mario, family wants to watch TV, game action moves to DRC" thing first off, then they started talking about getting multiple views at once with two screens. The concepts cannot always work together. We have no idea how Nintendo will handle this. Sometimes, as in the examples of "inventory on DRC", you can manage it by making the game act old-style when running only on the DRC. But in meaningful examples (as in Psychic Prey or Sword/Shield Combat or even Base Jumper Action Sim) where the DRC takes on a completely separate role and two simultaneous screens are present, you can't just shift to a single screen on a whim.
I find this post somehow awesome.
Seems 2K Sports is working on something for Wii U.
Thanks for those links.. I now get to forward them to friends in making my case that this "damn" system has great potential for some crazy dope-ass gaming concepts.

Ah, whoops. Btw, your speculation there on it coming to Wii U is basically based on the studio that's making the game, am I reading you correctly?

Hmm, maybe I should bump it with some of the stuff posted here recently. Mods won't mind, right?
It is now 2am in Japan. Give these guys a bit of time to wake up.
The answer is probably along the lines of: If you had to placate investors, what would be the best time to have them call you up and ask you questions about your business plan? I personally would guess mid-morning (9 or 10) or maybe early afternoon (right after lunch, when they're fed and happy). That equates to 8 or 9 EDT or noonish EDT.
meltdown averted. I get to keep my account now.

De-hypery: The only real caveat here is that these games probably won't be made, but we'll get a lot of HUD on that controller screen! :O
