Even if its not permaban, how many trolls got banned when the whole "Wii U is on par with Xbox360" bulls*it was going on?

Why Ubermatik got permed is still a mistery to me.

It is not exclusive to Nintendo stuff though. How many got banned for joking/trolling the Vita relating to sales and game support?

Even if many comments can be understood as trolling, i think that many of them are just ment as light jokes.
 
So as a side note... If they're going to offer HD up ports of GameCube games, what do you think about possibly paying forr Wii game HD "patches" maybe with some added content like levels or whatever?

Personally (pretty sure I've said this before) I hope they redesign the case with an internal HDD that snaps into the bottom of the unit with a SATA interface. Would cut down on cabling/bulk nicely.
 
As much as you all say E3 will make GAF hell on earth, I don't think it will be "shit", at least in this thread. I think right now, we're at the lowest point, maybe starting to come out of it, but we all seem a bit irritable and argumentative over stuff we'll soon know.

I know I don't post much of anything with substance most of the time, but I enjoy this Nintendo community here, and you're all pretty much the best Nintendo fans I've met since Nsiders. :) Guess what I'm saying is we've got nowhere to go but up, and E3's going to be great.

Yeah, these Wii Speculation threads have been great fun to read, and remind me a lot of the ign nintendo boards prior to the gamecube launch. I honestly mean that as a serious complement.

They basically waited until they were forced by third-parties and the market to make those changes, though. And we still have mandatory friend codes that both people have to enter as well as no online account. Plus they didn't bring the one thing Wii had over the competition to the eShop (gifting). :/

Yup. Nintendo don't do anything until they are dragged into doing it kicking and screaming.

A large portion of us likely used NSiders back in the day. :P
 
Here's my button placement attempt
though the aesthetics may be questioned, imo, it looks functional and easy to use
In the original controller you need to free your hand from the controller to pause or select the home menu and in the long run it could be a little annoying doing so.

This way, you only have to stretch your thumbs a little bit more and their placement don't interfere while using the circle pads.

btw... since some people have sweaty hands/fingers I added a soft texture on the circle pads to avoid your fingers slipping from them.


Oh well, we'll have to wait to see what happens with it.

I like it. I'd say just get the power button more out of the way (perhaps on the bottom). It would suck to accidentally hit it while meaning to hit minus or home (which will perhaps be used to quicksave games ala Wii VC titles?)

The + and - buttons should still be next to eachother, or at least not next to the power button.
 
Not sure if the controller design has won me over yet. Not a big fan of the pads or the buttons used, though I can't complain much considering the buttons on the Wiimote were small too.

Announced for a Halloween release at Nintendo's September Wii U launch details conference. I'm calling it.

If I remember, the reason Fatal Frame 4 didn't come to the US was that NoA wanted another round of bug fixes and Tecmo wanted more money to go back and do more work on a game NCL had already signed off on.

And the commercials should look something like these.

Get some people with a Wii U controller moving it to look around and showing their reactions. Should sell pretty well.

DCKing said:
Well sure. But HDDs aren't really going to rake in the profit for them, and the Wii U isn't likely to sell for a loss. Furthermore, if Nintendo would have seen the HDD as 'standard equipment' for the Wii U now or in the near future, they would have added USB 3.0 or eSATA ports.
Click to expand...

Well it's not official yet that Wii U won't have one of them so we'll see.
 
I tried venturing into the Wii U launch lineup comment thread and wow what a cluster.

The hate in the thread is overwhelming, so I'lll stick to this thread where things are calm.

I din't think the person is commenting on a specific title, but more around the kind of third parties that are supporting WiiU with launch titles that might be out of the norm.

Things like RE6(my speculation) and AC3 at launch are not typical, and having those big name titles day 1 make the upgrade to WiiU more appealing.

I actually like them being on either side like that. Seems like they'd be easy to hit and distinguish.

I imagined the controller on my hands and tbh I think it would be comfortable using those buttons the way I placed them so idk.

Those commercials are great! Never seen them before, but what a great way to advertise a survival horror game. Most scary movies these days do the same type of advertising.

So Nintendo is really gonna release two NSMB in a year, huh.
Click to expand...

So far some options seem to be:

A) New Super Mario Bros Mii delayed until next year
B) A "technically multi platform" New Super Mario Bros on both consoles that are "sort of" the same game, allowing for interaction between the two games and perhaps cross-platform multiplayer.
C) 2D Mario on the Wii U is going to be a different style of game, despite the demo we saw last year.
D) Yes, Nintendo is really gonna release two NSMB in a yearh, huh.

Only thing of note after that is "#8969, Plantronics (headset company) hiring for possible Wii U peripheral development"

Again, Nintendo is very much a fluid company that is completely open to change.
They just don't change exactly what you might want them to all the time.
Click to expand...

Yeah, Nintendo is incredibly quick to change to what it perceives to be shifts in the market, and it certainly takes risks with new ideas. It just doesn't seem to want to be just like everybody else, so it does not put a priority on things that competitors have already done.

Hardware connectivity is one of the few things that we actually have official information from?

It might be subject to change but in that case it doesn't make sense why Nintendo has been so oddly detailed in what kind of USB and AV connectivity the Wii U has.

I see many dropped Upads in the future if the game requires you to look around with it.

I agree that they were rather detailed about it, and is very likely not to change. But one can continue to hope.
 
shadyspace said:
So you shouldn't fix what's not broken.
Click to expand...

If that was the case, then we should still be using NES controllers instead of adding buttons and analogs and other features every generation.

It's entirely possible that Nintendo R&D found that player accuracy increases or risk of "Nintendo thumb" decreases when the analogs are above the buttons. Or they just like to be different for differentness sake, and there's really nothing wrong with that unless there's something specifically wrong on a case by case basis. On this one, the jury is out save for the natural Human instinct to distrust things that are new and different.

I don't get why some of you are making this out to be something unsurprising. I can't recall Nintendo ever doing something this closely "Activision" before, correct me if I'm wrong. The sales incentive doesn't change that bafflement.

Edit: bolded the wrong part.

Super Mario Bros 1 to 2 in Japan.

Yup. But doesn't really affect my argument if we look at their recent history, especially when we consider what followed SMB2.
 
DCKing said:
I used to think they'd sell it at a slight loss, but a recent rumour that said they weren't going to sounded rather plausible. $299 for profit is my guess.

You mean other than the unlikelihood that the manufacturer would have that info at this point? (especially the info about pricing and business strategy) And IIRC, the info supposedly came from Canada, not China. Also, has the BOM for a console ever leaked before release like this?

Frankly, it was one of the sloppier fakes.

That was sort of an arcade mentality back then.

I don't think anyone had a good grasp on how home console development needed to work.

Super Mario Bros 2 today would qualify as a ROM hack, and there is less than a year between the two games. But yeah, this was such a long time ago and in a different time, so it doesnt really apply today. I just wanted to say that Nintendo had done it :)

I hope I wasn't giving this impression. I was just laying down all (well, a bunch of) the possibilities for 2D Mario going forward, given what we now know.
 
Cabbie said:
Aye, thanks. I try to keep my universal statements in check. :P
Click to expand...
No worries, just wanted to mention it as a "fun fact" :) Also worth mentioning that it was only in Japan, Europe and USA got a completely different game. Even if it was basically a ROM hack of Doki Doki Panic, it was still a brand new game for almost everyone, and most of us had no idea that it was based of another game.
 
Watching SM3DL gameplay and I feel like I'm missing out for the first time in a while. I need another 3DS...

Ironically Nintendo is the most successful game company ever, so maybe it's not the one doing it wrong.

Well despite objections made after your post, you'd have to wonder if it was actually Nintendo that had it's head on straight.

While their competitors focused almost solely in online infrastructure, Nintendo toyed with an experiment on the Gamecube in the form of connectivity. This was, of course, seen as a crude gimmick because how could anybody ever want that when they can play shooters on the internet.

Well, the lessons Nintendo learned with connectivity between two screens were put to use a scant 3 years later, along with a touchscreen, and this was, again initially thought to be a stupid gimmick that nobody would ever want because who would want that when you can play neutered PS2 ports on the PSP. The DS needs no description as a monumental success, as it is the most popular video game system ever, and Nintendo took all the negative licks for the touch-screens in electronics that have become very omnipresent today.

The lessons learned on the touch-screen, and from WarioWare Twisted provided the basis for the Wii's motion control which was, again, thought to be a stupid gimmick that nobody would ever touch. Obviously both the Wii and the DS made Nintendo countless billions of dollars and probably made half the entire industry's revenue, despite said industry wishing to shun Nintendo (or at least the Wii).

Who's to say Nintendo wasn't investing in the right ideas all along? Maybe it was the others who were dragged kicking and screaming into alternative controls? At least that's what the market would indicate.

Just imagine how I'm suffering. I have… a GBA SP.

My plan is to buy every other portable Nintendo system then get all the games from the skipped generation on the cheap. So 3DS is on my plate, but I'm holding back to see what the inevitable(?) revision offers.

I love my SP! (I ordered a custom black-and-gold one on eBay last year. It serves as my Tingle Tuner when I'm playing The Wind Waker.)
 
I just had a thought: The Wii-U could potentially make system link LAN parties a bit easier.

From what I understand the hardest and most expensive part is probably lugging over a monitor or TV for each system. With the Wii-U though, every player could potentially just stream the game to the touch screen, meaning that each system brought to a LAN party would only need a power source and potentially system link cables (or whatever).
