Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Exactly. Only in this case that happened with a delay, so nobody noticed it originally. It was a bit ironical too, given the original hotlink was in a cold thread, that Ace himself linked to in the fresh thread that got him banned. Basically, the whole story ended up somewhat of a double suicide.Jzero15 said:

Hotlinking in general is frowned upon.BurntPork said:
Listen if you're not going to use your own bandwidth, at least take the time to use one of the thousands of free sites. Just hotlinking is like pming someone to send you porn. Irritating and lazy.
Still love ya Ace!
Get back soon young one.

Alright, you get the point.
A portion of a Gematsu interview with Capcom's Yoshinori Ono...
G: Youre bringing Street Fighter X Tekken to PS3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, and now PC. Super Street Fighter IV came out on 3DS, so clearly Capcom knows how to create a fighting game on the Nintendo handheld. Is there a reason youve not announced a 3DS version? Or a Wii U version, for that matter?
YO: There isnt any reason in particular actually.
---------------
This is excellent, now they have no excuses, and with a straight face say, "we don't have any reason in particular for not announcing it"
wow!

I remember Ono trolling the Wii when SF4 was announced. Eh, no matter.
Now, an interviewer needs to ask Capcom about TatsuCap 2 3DS...

You gotta read between the lines guys.
"Iwata will gut me with a plastic spoon if I say anything before he's ready."
Yeah that's it.

Google searching an image and just pasting it's URL on GAF instead of rehosting it.
The Imgur Chrome extension makes not-hotlinking stupidly easy though.
Imgur.com has some excellent, easy to use tools that help to rehost images instantly.Thunder Monkey said:

And then there is this.Gomu Gomu said:
There really is no excuse outside of laziness. I say this about my favorite bandage. I just hope he can come back soon.

I agree, unless Sony plans to launch the PS4 after 2014.
The apparent costs of the controller is a hurdle too big to cross.
And the patents are probably an issue as well.
Just looking at Broadcom patents:, an old Nintendo partner:
Apparatus for position detection using multiple antennas
HAND-HELD GAMING DEVICE THAT IDENTIFIES USER BASED UPON INPUT FROM TOUCH PANEL
GAME CONTROLLER WITH TOUCH PAD USER INTERFACE
HAND-HELD GAMING DEVICE WITH TOUCH SENSITIVE PANEL(S) FOR GAMING INPUT
ADJUSTING OPERATION OF TOUCH SENSITIVE PANEL OF GAME CONTROLLER
Video data processing system with integrated high speed connection capacity
Media Controller with Fingerprint Recognition
Apparatus for position detection using multiple HCF transmissions
etc.
We can see a lot of aspects of the touch screen controller is being patented.
Who knows if Nintendo is working with them on their tablet controller.
But I wouldn't be surprised:

Because fanmade Mockups usually disregard certain requirements is my guess. Perhaps layout restrictions, content allowed on screen, ect. At least that is my guess...

How... does that even work? Nevermind, I don't want to know.

I have a question for lherre & Chopper
Besides the known unknowns (online, cpu/gpu types/speeds, RAM & price), is there a major feature about the Wii U that has yet to be revealed?
Is there something that the devs & Nintendo are not sharing that will make everyone say "wow"?

Would Nintendo even share something like that with devs?

No. Current console games don't look great. Skyrim for everything it did right was held back horribly by the current hardware. It's painfully obvious. Rage? No thanks. Textures on the current hardware are ATROCIOUS. This gen needed to die years ago.

Moving into next gen so quickly is going to kill even more developers. Considering the bloodbath this gen was, I don't know if I'd like to see that.

What we need is more and faster RAM.ClovingSteam said:
A Newish GPU, and bam! You've got games that look like the Witcher at ultra high or something. An Xbox 360 with 2 gigs of RAM would make games a hell of a lot prettier than the standard box.
They should all just choose a relatively new GPU and CPU with a buttload of RAM. Which is why I was really hoping the WiiU would have 2 gigs. The rest of it could be archaic by comparison to the other two consoles, but as long as they stayed close to the likely RAM count of those consoles it really wouldn't matter much.
I don't think most devs need a 2600 SPU part if they've got the RAM to make some pristine textures.

If they wanted them to design games with those features used they would.
But it doesn't necessarily have to be some game changing feature that will make you say WOW". Just anything in general that adds to the system that hasn't been revealed, like a motion camera attached to the sensor bar, an updated wiimote++, vitality sensor built into the uPad somehow, or a rear facing camera on the uPad.
Just something about the system (besides the known unknowns) that will add to the experience and fill-in some of the blanks.
And I'm not necessarily looking for details, because I know they can't share those. I just want to know if there are more surprises related to the hardware that we have to look forward to.
So the question came up a page or so ago and I've been kind of mulling it over...
So what do you guys think nintendo would have to do in order to "win the hardcore market" or take it from microsoft?
And I mean within reason. They simply can't subsidize a $900 console for $250, nor can they afford to moneyhat every single third party for exclusives.

Honestly, they need to jump ahead of the curve on the next big thing.
Sony had GTA 3 in the Ps2 era.
MS had a year of solid 3rd party titles then Gears, and Halo was always their trump card, but then Call of Duty blew up.
Nintendo needs to look to lesser known, but still popular franchises and see if they can get something there.
I mean hard to say now what that is.

Get a new Gears of War trilogy as an exclusive to the Wii U.guek said:
They need that big shooter franchise that becomes a phenomenon like Halo and Gears. Earlier in this generation, it seemed like alot of people were hooked into buying 360's for those franchises, and eventually stayed for CoD when it became huge.guek said:
Its not something I personally want to see Nintendo do though. If they can get third parties to bring some of the games i'm interested in, I wouldn't see much reason to really buy other consoles.
I think in Nintendo's mind it will be enough to have wii u versions of multiplat hardcore titles and a few exclusives like Killer Freaks or exclusive content like Ninja Gaiden. I think they only intend to take an equal portion of the hardcore crowd not take over that market and become the "hardcore console".guek said:
