SASRT Wii U version just about certain, interview more or less confirms the obvious re: NDA:



I'm curious to see whether Nintendo has made an exception for the Black Ops 2 announcement tomorrow, though I doubt they have.

It's like they are terrified the Ninjas will get them as soon as they say something. Can't believe how persuasive Nintendo can be.
 
interesting bet

I also had worries that Nintendo does not have the experience in pushing HD to make games look great. But what does that matter when they excel in the Art

I want to see which side wins this

I'm secretly scared that retro will appear at e3 with a title so take what you will from that.

I don't get it... what can Nintendo do to them?

Does getting a devkit for WiiU come with a contract line to keep your mouth shut when Nintendo tell you to?
 
They're still limited by the amount of money that goes back to the vendor, no?

Either way, that's perhaps an interesting strategy to marginalize the used game market without actually directly locking it out.

Yes and Nintendo's portion as well. At the same time the stores shouldn't have the inventory costs eating into their margin giving them much more wiggle room with how they set the DD costs.

And I agree. GS would be less likely to price a DD too low to where it would possibly eat into their used games sales, yet because a store like WM does not depend on used game sales they would be much more likely to sell DDs at a much lower price causing people to look in that direction anyway. And I wouldn't be shocked if that allowed a WM or Target to do DD/physical bundles as well to increase that advantage.

GC: In terms of the formats the game's on, has Nintendo told everyone not to announce Wii U games? Because it seems impossible to imagine this, and various other recently announced games, aren't going to be on it.

JN: I couldn't possibly tell you. [laughs]

GC: You couldn't tell me because you know or because you don't know?

JN: [laughs] I… couldn't possibly tell you. But I agree with you, wouldn't it be a great idea to get this onto a platform like the Wii U!

Both: [laughs]

Iwata: [laughs]
 
Well of course he can't tell him, the Nintendo Ninja's were watching.

why not adjust your bet to say only EAD branches of Nintendo

that way those outside guys with some experience pushing HD coming to work for Retro do not screw you

I wonder how much hiring Nintendo have been doing in the HD graphics experience department :3

Nintendo can sue them up the ass

Haha I didn't change it 'cause I'm confident in SSM
 
Still wondering why Slightly Mad Studios is allowed to (again) publicly list a Wii U version of Project CARS on their website, though. Perhaps because Nintendo doesn't intend to include it in any sizzle reel at E3?

why work with someone who will so you up the ass :|

end of cycle PS3 games looking better than Nintendo's WiiU games is a pretty good bet, I would not bet against this possibility knowing how we are limiting the prowess of the WiiU hardware to 2x not 5x :P

Could also be how comfortable they are with saying something. Some may just be more paranoid than others about possibly breaking the NDA and are just overly cautious. Or maybe some have more restrictions about saying something than others.
 
I know this discussion is from late last night but to continue what I was getting at, the reason I think it's much easier said than done for Nintendo to win japan in both console sales AND developer support is because the way I see it, they don't only have a perception problem in the west, I think they have one back home as well.

not sure if serious?

Are you saying Nintendo has a problem with winning Japan or am I reading this wrong?
 
Fuck it, going full revolution.

By 2021, I expect to see 300,000 player F-Zero. These matches are yearly events, the winner gets showered in absolute glory.

Didn't slightly mad release a document last week with a cornucopia of wii u features contained on it?
 
I've got an avatar bet for you burnt pork.its simple, I wager that GoW: A single player will look better than any Wii U first party title. The avatar must be kept for 3 months. are you game?
I don't bet when I have serious doubt that I can win. Plus, I like you. Sorry. That game is the main reason I'm certain that many will claim that Wii U is confirmed to be weaker than current gen after the conference.

The preorder cards already leaked, at it seems like only the PS3 and 360 will be announced. It doesn't even seem like they'll announce it for PC yet.

they do. I'm not talking about console sales. I'm talking about developer support. Sony won developer support this generation from japan. I don't buy that the power difference was the be all and end all of reasons why. I'm suggesting that it's a bit of a perception problem as well.
 
Where is burnt pork? Dammit I have the perfect avatar for him. It's not even embarrassing >__>


Talking about it, I'm planning to change mine during E3 week
I have the perfect pic for all the announcements, megatons, overhype and meltdowns
it's going to be glorious.

And of course... Luigi related :P

Keep in mind that that would have no bearing on system power whatsoever, but how much money was put into the game's development. Nintendo doesn't tend to put huge amounts of money into their games, except maybe Zelda, and without those high dev costs, system power means zilch.

so if Sony is in such good developer support in Japan what happened to Vita?

again are you serious? MS is dead in Japan and even they are able to money hat projects for the 360 that hardly leave the country

you have Dragon Quest now stuck on Nintendo platforms
I won't be shocked to see a Monster Hunter 4 wiiu edition

Fatal Frame is pretty much Nintendo exclusive

lots of boobie games have come up on 3DS

WiiU is basicly a DS in its design

WiiU allows you to play your games without you needing your TV

I am having a hard time seeing the trend of a problem in Japan, just because Nintendo has everyone shushed under NDA does not mean we have to believe there is no support
 
They seem to have more freedom than others when considering things like the Developers' Roundtable and the recent AC3 announcement. But "more freedom" is still subjective.

It's still entirely possible that they were only allowed to announce ACIII for Wii U because it was already sorta-announced last E3.

I'd love to have heard the call Ubisoft got after the Rayman trailer leaked. I wonder if they tightened the leash a bit after that.
