Wii U Speculation thread IV: Photoshop rumors and image memes

Investors' meeting is on the 26th (probably 25th in our time zones). I don't know the exact time, but it'll be hard to miss if you're on GAF those days.. we tend to make a spectacle of ourselves around such events. :)

Nintendo Direct? No clue.

I expect to get some good information out of this meeting. Just throw us a bone or two Iwata!
 
Does anyone think that Sony and/or Microsoft will try and dilute the Nintendo hype at E3 by showing off something from their next gen? Either alpha unit content or some CG trailer? You'd think they'd want to not be lost in the Wii U hype if they can help it. Especially when there is all this 'Wii U is not next gen' bollocks. If they show something graphically superior to Wii U the gaming media would suck it up like mad.

If anything, I think we might see them pull a Nintendo and show hardware but no screens - just to get that initial buzz.. just enough to take some off of Nintendo, but not enough to overshadow the upcoming products for the upcoming year.
 
This is pretty minor, but I wanted to point out that it's "Super Mario 4", not "Super Mario Bros 4". Somebody a while back suggested that it could refer to 4-way (4-display?) multiplayer. This would be really interesting in a 3D game, in the manner that you describe.

It was "Super Mario 4," damn. Ah well, I'm sure Nintendo have been experimenting with more extensive 2 player co-op in 3d Mario regardless. Hopefully they're able to nail it down cuz it's something I'd love to see.
 
Can anyone type up a dream list of Wii U titles that people are hoping haven't yet been announced for the platform due to NDAs?
 
So close yet so far away.

I still remember the glory days of E3 happening in May..

Bah--the move to June is much better.

One of the benefits of being a teacher--no having to take days off to see E3.

Not sure what people want, but I know what I want.
 
You all know the part of the El Mundo's Miyamoto interview when he talk about Super Mario for Wii U

There's an interesting line also:

I'm working on several projects but I think I can not speak for all [laughs]. Some are small but important projects for Wii U. Also a new 'Pikmin', which will use high-resolution images of the console, and a Luigi's Mansion for 3DS.

So Pikmin as the big important Miyamoto project for Wii U
And several other "small but important projects", i read Nintendo Network titles, maybe bundled demonstrations of the Wii U asymmetrical gameplay possibilities like Chase Mii, etc.
+ its monitoring of the development of other games.

The quarterly earnings release is around close of business on the 26th JST, or very early in the morning EDT. The briefing itself is the following day in Japan, which should mean around 9 PM EST on the 26th.

You mean a fantasy list or a list of games that are realistically possible?

TimeSplitters 4
Civilization 6
Day of Reckoning 3
Resident Evil 4 II
Space Harrier 3 (or Planet Harriers 2 I guess)
Strider: Re-Cyphered
New Bonk's Adventure
"List Wars: The Revenge of NeoGAF" Wii U exclusive title

How long is a piece of string?

Here's a likely one that isn't often mentioned: Overstrike. New IP, lighthearted shooter, EA...gotta be coming, right?

Isn't Overstrike PS3 exclusive?

And goddamn, haven't heard about that one since it was announced.

Oh.

RE6
GTA V
Timesplitters 4
Crysis 3

Haven't been following that many games though. I would love Fallout 4 on the Wii U.

Mostly what you listed

I would do anything for Day of Reckoning 3. :'(

It's EA, of course not! It's Insomniac's first multiplatform game.

And goddamn, haven't heard about that one since it was announced.
The announcement was really premature. Insomniac had two games releasing a few months after the trailer debuted, so it doesn't surprise me that we haven't seen any gameplay footage yet.
 
This afternoon Nintendo confirmed to Eurogamer the El Mundo report, and promised more information soon.
"In a recent interview, Mr. Miyamoto confirmed that a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii U system will be shown at this year's E3 Expo," a Nintendo spokesperson said. "We'll have more to announce about our plans for the E3 Expo at a later date."

Meanwhile, Miyamoto was quoted as saying to El Mundo: "I'm working on several projects but I think that I cannot talk about them all [laughs]. Some are small but important projects for Wii U. Also on a new Pikmin, which will take advantage of the new HD screen resolution, and on Luigi's Mansion for 3DS."

Shouldn't we have a separate thread about Nintendo actually confirming a new Super Mario Bros. for Wii U and that it'll be revealed at E3?
 
Did he confirm Super Mario Bros. or just a new Super Mario?

Miyamoto's interview says a new "Super Mario" game, the Nintendo PR rep said a new "Super Mario Bros" game.

Also, I heard a rumour that Nintendo might make a Zelda game for this console as well as a mainline Pokémon game for their portable!!!!(edit)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I get incredibly sad when people say that there were no good Wrasslin' games past the N64 era. Usually, it's because they only had a Playstation 2 and didn't realize that the good games just stayed with Nintendo.

Same here. I think it's because after No Mercy people moved onto Smackdown series, which was alright, but leagues below No Mercy. I think Day of Reckoning is the only game that came the closest to No Mercy for me.
 
Cool. Not surprising or anything, but I definitely think this is going to be a launch period game.

As most of us were saying yesterday that Nintendo needed at launch. Smart move if true.

Yup. The 3DS launch was a catastrophe for Nintendo- if anything they will probably overcompensate to make sure that doesn't happen again.

I think Nintendo figured that out after the 3DS launch. Mario is a system seller for them, so they need it out as soon as possible. They could have up to a year head start on Sony and MS and games like Mario will allow them to build up a lot of momentum before those two consoles launch.

Still waiting for AceBandage's response to the news. He was pretty adamant it wasn't happening.

To be fair, though, it still may not--it could just be an announcement for next year.

I already said I'll believe it when I see it. And even then I don't expect it at launch. We saw SMG at E3 06 and it wasn't at launch.
They don't need Mario at launch.

We the fanatics would win big if that happened. Any doubt about taking a whole week off would go out the window.. hehe!

And, thinking of the longer term, Nintendo needs to come out guns a'blazin' and get as many sales as possible before the NUTs are exposed.

So, news about a new Super Mario game for Wii U and Miyamoto readying his staff for his retirement (though of course he will certainly remain a board member). We are getting somewhere.

Definitely feels like things are moving today. I'm loving it. Slow, rainy day at work, so this is perfect!
