Nintendo teaming up with WWE to release a Nintendo wrestling game?

I don't see how that "isn't very encouraging" - Nintendo's head of R&D basically said he couldn't talk about Wii-U before E3, but on the question of whether developers will be able to make things look cool with shaders on this different system, sure, they've already got plenty of experience making things look cool on lots of different systems. They already know how to do so. And Miyamoto was basically saying don't worry, the Wii-U uses the same shader systems other platforms do.
Just to clarify on this one point, no one will ever let MS hear the end of it either. The PS3 and Xbox community aren't hand in hand; they hate eachother as much as they hate Nintendo. I don't mean to get too meta about this, but between the two, RROD is a mainstay in the arsenal of PS3 fanboys and MS critics.
I think the root of the problem, Tom, is that everyone and their mother can write game journalism. I'm not sure how much better it was in the early 2000's but I can tell you most of the tabloid shit is written by a demographic and generation Nintendo isn't intended for: jaded assholes.
Well if it's going towards the competitors, then yes. People will ask questions about the absence of title x or y on Wii U.
What's gives me pause is that asking this might be misconstrued as port-begging around here, even though it's sometimes an intellectually sound question that a normally curious person could ask.
To prevent a further decline in stocks (it was down 0.75% when NASDAQ closed on the 26th of April) I believe they would want to tell their investors something genuinely positive and also something that is easy to understand about Wii U. Radio silence could add even more fuel to the recent Nintendo hate articles and without proper communication from Nintendo that is what investors and analyst will consort to. I believe it would be wise of Nintendo to perhaps not provide a full spec sheet but at least give perspective on Wii U's technical capabilities, and perhaps mention key partners.

Just talking about people in general. I don't care if Crysis doesn't appear on Wii U, but I can understand why someone would think that's weird.

I'm personally hoping to see a new face tonight. Whether that be a new Japanese lead dev being introduced, or artwork of a new character from a new IP.

TS4 Wii U exclusive. Bank on it.
I still remember the first time he said this, and my first impression was, "wow. What a sane, sane man."
"I'd rather die than be seen with a 3ds." is an actual statement by a 'mature' gaffer. The world is full of 16-year-olds, or otherwise people whose self-esteem stopped developing at about that age. Those people also happen to be the core target demographic of a certain industry. So it's nothing short of ironic that despite all odds, nintendo tend to prosper amids that industry. Which is part of the reason I respect them as a company, even though I might not like some of their business moves.Amen!
For a crowd that prides itself on being mature, they sure do come-off as incredibly insecure.
I'm not that outta the loop. I knew it was a mmo just didn't know it was a action rpg instead of turn based. >_>
Moar like Homefront 2 and you will like it
I haven't seen that statement, but I've seen some in the same vein around here. A few years ago, I would've gotten into a tiff with them over that, but now I know enough to just not care.
I'd love to hear more about the network, particularly the community stuff.
