It then won't be next gen *enough*. That's why they've been sitting on that "transitional" keyword for the past couple months. It's the backup plan in case the system is too fast for "on par".

This. I'm expecting this to happen as much as I don't want it to. People are gonna complain regardless.
He'd scare the crap out of people, but never, ever hurt a fly. Very much a gentleman, and women friggin' loved him.What a nice dog.
Even though I still have a fear of dogs from an experience as a kid, he looks so friendly.
And he was the best gaming buddy I've ever had. 12-hour marathon? No problem! He'd be there on the couch next to me, or at my feet on the floor.
I fully expect various gaming media outlets to do side-by-side "Guess the Wii U Screenshot" articles.

So I've just found out that I don't have to work from June 1st to June 5th ^_^

Either that, or it'll be deemed a "half-step." Which is quite powerful, but still, it's Nintendo, so let's use it as an excuse to sneer..

well next to what? every fan boy going to say that when Wii U out and other two are not it only when other come out we find out really, I really dont give a shit as long as the games are good
But if anyone think a game that looks better is better need a slap, I'll play a game that looks like shit long before i play a game that plays like shit we dont get this BS with handholds
I think everyone imagines the execs at MS/Sony sitting in a boardroom somewhere smirking and nodding their heads at one another knowingly, going "we're going to destroy Nintendo with our next hardware" As if it's in their nature to be inherently bent on power, and not in their nature to be inherently stupid.
So I've just found out that I don't have to work from June 1st to June 5th ^_^

Lucky guy! (I've taken the 5th & 6th off. Gotta watch the reaction & analysis. So much fun!)
If I were a betting man? Tuesday, June 5th, 11AM, PST.
Just going off of past Nintendo patterns..
Want mine? I honestly played the Paper Mario series and didn't like it, but I still have it. We can swap, if we aren't too far away.
Texas. You?

Well dont let him near any cops on duty.
No worries on that; he's passed two months ago.
But we lived about one block away from a police station for much of his life, and the many officers who met him over that time period adored him.
I must be missing a news story here..Yeah, that was sad.
(yep. I see it in the OT now. ouch.)

Wait I thought Microsoft & Sony planned to go on the 3rd so Nintendo will be on 4th? :/
(I have to watch all of them)
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
I've managed to play a good deal of them at least briefly - i'm terminally addicted to collecting 3DS though - i really am enamoured by the platform and as -fucking annoying- as i find some of the fanbase it doesn't detract from -my- enjoyment of the platform because i've managed to detune people out
#go-me! I went into this elsewhere but the disaster out here in Japan, a weekend+ of changed circumstances, and a lonely hotel room helped reinforce a bond between me and the 3DS. <3 <3 3DS <3 <3

Are you guys planning to use your GAF handles on your Wii U account?
Yep, probably the same as my XBL tag: "Cabbie D". With a Golden Sun avatar.
I will use my powers for evil, probably.
Wait, I know I will.
That's sad to hear. I know your pain bro, my dog just passed away 2 days ago.
I miss her, so much.

I always take the 4th (or the whatever day is Sony/MS conference) off...
Which is sad lol...
DCharlie

i'm almost certainly going to end up with a US and JP machine so i'll likely go with the usual
DCharlie (or DCharlieJP)
and
DCharlieUS
Yup!
Those two will be going on the 4th, although I forget what times.

I doubt it'll be anywhere close to a half step. *shrug*
I've been skeptical throughout, way before others jumped on that bandwagon. Now I'm more certain than ever.
DCharlie

been saying for months that the power is largely a non-factor - as long as a certain HD baseline is met there is little/no reason for Nintendo to go to the "half step"
tick the base boxes and then just get the content out. The upgrade delta for Wii only players is going to be absolutely NUTS.
Get out while you still can.

Blockbuster AAA game's are shallow most are about 5 hours long and You move onto next, i can see that getting worst with next gen, Too many game devs think games are movies makers and dont think about the gameplay

So I'm assuming that everything can be played on the controller? I hope so. Who needs a 3ds when I can play , OoT , SM64, Starfox 64 on the controller while I watch TV or on the toilet (bathroom is in my room)
Seriously, this guy's five minutes of notoriety are up. He's said his piece, we get it, move on (not being hostile to you, axis, just speaking in general).
Who's ready for the next industry crash? I am.
It's not the hardware that has to be "revolutionary". It's the software - the application of the hardware. Nintendo has proven this time and time again, with WiiSports being the latest example in the console market. That this particular person can't come up with an engaging application for the hardware says less about the hardware and more about him as a developer (with a grudge).

Trent Oyster: I'm having a hard time thinking outside the box(what I hear him saying).
I hope this isn't the Wii all over again where developers few and far between make inventive use of the controller and the rest just halfass it.
I mean I don't mind less ambitious uses like maps and huds and the like but hopefully, there are ingenious ideas as well.

So it's haters gonna hate
Unless Nintendo pulls a miracle and ends up with the most powerful tech of the 3, haters will say well their games and third parties are better
U can't win cuz they want Nintendo to lose

It amazes me how uncreative some developers are. But I guess if you make a living porting games and making cheap rip offs, you really aren't one for originality...
How dull is this bloke.
Surely by providing this TOUCH SCREEN TABLET controller, then Nintendo is moving itself into both these markets?
So, somewhere out there is someone with a Wii and no games to play on it because you bought theirs!
I'll probably stream it at work. If I state home I'd be on NeoGAF all day spazzing out.
Probably not, I will likely use my go to handle that I've used for about 15 years, as boring and un creative as it is.
He's bitter that's for sure.

Either companies are going to learn to keep budgets more reasonable for most games or this whole thing just blows up in everyone's faces. I honestly can't see it going any other way. Games are selling less and are costing more to produce. What could possibly go wrong?
And seriously, this Oster guy is a shovelware creating dullard. Stop posting what he says. He should probably stop complaining about Nintendo's policies and concentrate more on, I dunno, making quality products? How's that for a business model?
I really don't see how that's going to be possible if they actually use the tablet for anything useful.

I am not sure if this is the case with Nintendo platforms.
I mean, let's say RE: Revelation; it sure sold poorly, I guess life time will not be 500K? However, I also think the budget (at least excluding marketing) has been low too
For Virtual Console titles, it's more than likely that they'll be playable on the controller. There's no reason to believe that won't be the case.
For Wii U titles, Nintendo said last E3 that it's going to be up to developers how they use the controller. They're not going to make demands on how it should be used - if at all. For their 1st/2nd party content, I gotta think they'll let you play with the controller alone. 3rd parties can do whatever works for them.
For when you leave the house.

Its probably sold about 500k so far
I don't have the link to the survey handy, but most people actually play their portable games at home. Not trying to shit on your point or anything, but just sayin'.
That's the all purpose of the thing so it's possible, but like saif just above, it's up to the developers. You code what you want, you just have the interface and button layout, you do whatever you want. It just like the 3D slider on the 3DS. I think developers can very well use it for something entierely unrelated to the 3D effect. Vice-versa, look at the d-pad functionnality in SM3DLand: pop-in or pop-out 3D. Programmers can switch off the 3D by pushing start or A if they want!
Now, for the Upad: A 3 way switch can be the norm:
- Mode normal: Action (1) on TV, action/menus (2) on Upad;
- Switch mode A: Action (1) on Upad, action/menus (2) on TV;
- Switch mode B: Action (1) on background on Upad; action/menus (2) in a popup on the Upad (just like the one player mode in Four Swords Adventures); Dashboard or nothing on TV.
Push the switch again and you're back to "mode normal".
I think he's enjoying that new spotlight he's in.

Perhaps all the publicity will give a little bump to mdk2 sales so he actually gets paid for it lmao
