Even if the WiiU guts were leaked here it would had been lost in the endless threads of posts.

This is a question that gaming scientists have pondered for centuries. Imagine Beyond Good & Evil, for instance, being released in a week where there was nothing else coming out - instead of reality, where BG&E was released in the middle of a horribly crowded time period.

Oh, what may have been..

Stupid publishers, we should send them back to school. They might get smarter. :P
 
Games deserve a summer holiday too. If you're playing during the summer period you are in fact impeding on their worker's rights and could be taken to court by the unions.

WHAT a Nintendo fansite run by NintendoGAF?

I´m in! I´m soooo in... I will moderate in the forums. Can translate german -> english and english -> german if ever needed!

I had a similar idea a few weeks ago, as few people in here propably know... So let´s make it happen :)

Hell yes - it was after the trolls doin' their thing up in here when that rash of "on par" articles came along.. I almost forgot, like my mind was blocking it out. :P

This man needs to be The Mod. Yup Yup!
 
If you're going to do a site, I propose a solution that works this forum in.

1. Create a login system that uses cURL to accept a GAF username and password, passes it to the GAF logon script, the server checks a page (such as userCp / profile) and does a quick xpath query to verify that the user was logged in okay, and thereon-in sets an auth token / cookie and allows the user to submit content to the site. No userDB needed per se... it'd be like signing in with Facebook or Google the way you can on other sites. The only way it would be insecure is if someone was able to tamper with the way our server resolves the neoGAF address, and then served the site pages as we expected them to appear... not really possible without a huge amount of effort / hacking.

2. certain usernames ARE added to a DB as these guys moderate / approve the news content so we're not bombarded with content by GAF denizens

3. Nintendo threads such as this one could be aggregated on the site, with significant posts linked directly
 
I just had a thought...

Could it be that NSMBMii and the 3DS "2D Mario" are one and the same game?

It would be released as a 3DS and a Wii U game. But each version can be transfered to the other console and played from there.

So Buy the 3DS version and play it on the 3DS or the WiiU. WiiU would render it in 1080p and the 3DS in its normal resolution.

NSMB isnt graphically demanding on the hardware so it could be done.
 
It's possible, but I hope not. I would also question the strategy. Sure, it's easy money, but in the long run there would be more profit to be made from creating separate NSMBs for each system.

You know the point of the website would be to put all Wii U news in one place that is accessible, unbiased and sensible in its reporting, right? So it would maybe make it easier for you...

Come on now, guys. I realise you mean well, but a NintendoGAF-run fansite is in no way going to be "unbiased and sensible", by the sheer fact that it's going to be run by a bunch of Nintendo fans.

I mean absolutely no disrespect, but such a website is not going to be unbiased; it's simply going to be biased in the other direction to a lot of the rest of the games media.

Is there any reason you couldn't have a situation where two Wii U consoles are running in the same room, connected together through online(or LAN) play? But, one console sends an image to the TV set, while the second to the tablet, that also controls the 1st console? So... in that case you have the full power of a Wii U powering each screen.


Also, the controller has a camera... so the developer could program the game to stare at the player. When he's looking at the TV set, the view on the tablet is low-quality... but when he glances down, it shifts the power to the handheld screen, while the tv set runs in 8-bit color. The player would never catch on!

This game had me thinking of something a little simpler.

Imagine a local multi-player game of Metal Gear Solid 3's fight with The End where both players are playing with their own tablets, and using the television screen secondarily to find and kill the other player over a period of time. Obviously you can't reproduce the image 1:1 to the screen/tablets so with the tablet taking priority, the television screen produces heavily distorted images which allows players to see spectator cams but heavily erratic. The 'cameras' might be blacking out, going into SNES style visuals, no sound, fuzzied screen like an analog television set. Both players use these cams to try find where the other player(s) might be.


That would be awesome. Like fighting The End on MSG3 all over again but unique each time. Also with a little hint of interactive 'Hunger Games' in there for good measure. ;)

Just putting that idea out there for any stalking devs to use.... make this!
 
NSMB2/SMB4 - I would be happy with whatever they do as long as I see a couple of things.

*Bring back Wart as the main villian.
*Give us a wider selection of characters to play other than Mario/Luigi/Toads #1 & 2
*Boomerang Bro. suit in 2D
*Make Mouser a boss battle again
*Koopalings betray Bowser to work with Wart since Bowser abandonded them all those years ago.

Name change alert, WiiU is going to be called WiiDoomed

Perfect name for Website, it's not even 100% Nintendo-centric with this, since Wii is such a big name, it could branch out into the other companies pretty much anytime with a name like this.

IMO AREWiidoomed.com is perfect.
 
This is why Nintendo fans will never be taken seriously :lol

Ah, about the NintendoGAF project: You know, start a blog, post some stuff on it, and let the thing develop itself. If it isn't big enough anymore, build a nice and sleek webpage - and if things go well, expand it and cover all gaming related news.

Well, considering that neogaf as a whole could post there, not everyone here completely hates the other companies, and we could possibly get sony and microsoft fans to take some ownership, starting a website right now about gaming news is probably the best time from now until the next next generation that one could launch a site... I think we will see some true unbiased reporting...

having said that, I doubt we could become the foxnews equivalent to gaming.

Who put him in charge of the news? I could be much better newscaster.
I'd have a green screen and like, cars driving in the background with people walking and stuff, and it would be like, a city.

I meant unbiased in a way where there will at least be no "Nintendo is Doooomed" 'editorials', and sensible in not reporting on every random rumor as if it was 100% confirmation of anything. Maybe if it does happen it wouldn't be a completely objective website in the expressed opinions, but at least it wouldn't have completely preposterous content concerning Nintendo like most gaming sites these days.

Videos like these are why I wish I could make gifs, if anyone reading this can easily, it might be an idea to gif the part where he's swinging his arms around, and when he goes close-up to the camera saying "permaaabanned!!".

No disrespect taken.
Personally, I wouldn't mind taking the rest of games media to task for shitty Nintendo reporting and shitty attitude. Some counter-balance would be a-OK in my book. Hell, we don't even need to go out and bash the other console-makers in order to be effective counter-balance.

It's kinda sad that just straight-up reporting the news on a company would be considered radical or biased in some quarters.

Hmm. I try not to judge. But the video is kinda scary.

We're not all scary man-children, honest! Some of us are older, professional folks who love Nintendoey things in our spare time.
 
That video is brilliant. He's either self-aware, in which case he's a comedy genius, or he's just totally hyped himself crazy on NeoFuel and decided to start his own news cast. Either way I'm subscribing!

1. maybe some people post news here because they don't want that information posted on an official site, at least not directly.
2. a fact-checking website might be a good idea, but why not just make it for all video game news and rumors and not just nintendo? making it nintendo-only makes it easy to dismiss, especially if the purpose of the site is to post 'real' version of a story, or to counterbalance perceived bias coming from elsewhere in the media. it would be taken as seriously as the chartz website.
Click to expand...

This is the correct idea. Heck, I have a separate browser session running right now with 25 tabs for the express purpose of reading over politifact and factcheck and snopes to help me make sense of the world. And one of the things I am capable of doing that most people seem to lack skills at is using google to seek out verifiable data (like that chart showing when Wii third party software sales overtook Xbox 360 3rd party software sales). I could actually help with a fact checking website.

And it would actually be useful.

But, yes, it couldn't be console maker specific. No "N-facts.org", here. It'd have to be something like, I dunno, "vgfactz.com".
Or something that isn't a trolling domain but expresses at least some attempt at unbiasedness.
And then we can do fun stuff like always cite our data!

…why not just ask EviLore to open up the login table of the website, read-only, to just one specific domain and db user, so we use fewer resources? That way, we avoid man-in-the-middle attacks by taking away the part where we deliver the password to gaf's web server in plaintext. I assume it's hashed in the database. I mean, how could it not be?

The video is hilarious, bu I don't think it's intentional, even if I'd like it to be.

Hard to choose..... I'll take the one on the right.
 
Har har har! The guy at the Wii U mock-up (et al) website says he's going to post in this thread once his account clears with the mods.

Little does he know that the mods almost certainly aren't going to be bringing any more user until at least after E3.

Hey, Bear! If you're reading this, I registered with NeoGAF about two years before my account was let through! But you can go to this website, which was a recently created stopgaf solution for people who either have not been registered or are too bashful to post in this thread directly. Because, you know, we're all intimidating extroverts here…



But, anyway, my point is that Nibel finally gets credit for his copyright-infringing art. ;)
