Great news for a great, great game.

 

[aquavelva]

Holy shit, I didn't realize AC3 was confirmed for Wii U. Looks like I'll be jumping into next-gen a lot earlier than I thought.

I can totally see Arkham layering the X-Ray stuff on the controller, so you actually have to scan the tv with it, similar to how some stuff at the Nintendo conference last year worked.

Could be cool, could be exhausting.

 

[ffdgh]

And speaking of boring, am I the only one that thinks Sony needs to do a better job at making their E3 conferences more exciting and interesting? I mean Sony has amazing games for the Vita/PS3, but their conferences seem so boring.

gotta have those charts

 

[Hero of Legend]

While they haven't got as many franchises to choose from as Nintendo, they've got a few at their disposal (these they have trademarked):

Banjo-Kazooie
Blue Dragon
Crackdown
Crimson Skies
Forza Motorsport
Fuzion Frenzy
Halo
Halo Wars
Kameo
Kinectimals
Lips
Lost Odyssey
MechAssault/MechCommander/MechWarrior
Perfect Dark Zero
PGR
Phantom Dust
Viva Piñata
Voodoo Vince
Zoo Tycoon

And I think it's time for Xbox Durango at E3 2012, at least they could announce the system there. This whole fear of stealing sales from Halo 4 I think is uncounted for, they could just pull a Twilight Princess and release it for both systems, with added interconnectivity. I doubt Microsoft and Sony are just gonna sit there shallowly while people flock to Nintendo's booth.

Blinx as well.

 

[sinxtanx]

fantastic use

All functions on the touchscreen
swing the controller around to fight (must touch screen to grab enemies)

Nobody likes Blinx! Stupid cat-thing!

I blame it mostly on bad pacing and organization, also for the past two years on announcing like 2/3rds of their stuff ahead of time.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Could be cool, could be exhausting.

Perhaps if you have to do it every few seconds. I doubt that though. I'm thinking there could be some really cool ways to use that hacking device on the upad.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

what was the major complaints about Arkham City that could change in the WiiU version?

 

[sinxtanx]

Current est. thread speed: 90 pph
DEFCON 5

gotta sleep now
but wouldn't it be hilarious if they revealed another controller this E3?
I think it would be hilarious

Spoiler

accordion controller

 

[Oddduck]

Does anyone here who already owns Arkham City plan to double dip and buy the Wii U version?

 

[TunaLover]

I hope that developers make good use of the sub-screen, having a suplementary input method doesn't mean that you have obligatory to use it, just for the sake of use it. Some first generation third party Wii games made stupid control schemes, they wanted shoehorn motion controls in everything, even when it wasn't necessary.

Sniper zoom-in in Red Steel is an example.

wii motion + 2 would be welcomed for a new hardware I would think why not improve it further

It's too huge for me to replay again. But if this version is really unique, then I will think about it.

 

[EloquentM]

Confession: I've defended it in the past but I'm very worried about the comfort ability of the wii u controller.

Spoiler

don't shoot me

Don't think too much about this. This is a question which can be only answered by holding that thing in your own hands.

 

[Sadist]

Sweet news on Batman AC if true. I almost bought the PC version a few weeks back but I decided to wait and see how the Wii U version turns out.

Btw, Rein speaking fondly of Nintendo hardware seems almost... unnatural.

 

[EloquentM]

That's what I've said in the past but now I'm starting to understand why others are making the argument that it doesn't look comfortable. Despite the overwhelming positive reports it LOOKS like it could break your hands in half.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

for those who waited for WiiU Batman AC sounds like it will be special

I'm in... but damn I need to save a lot of money for WiiU launch this maybe my most expensive spending spree on a launch console might get about 10 games so I need like $500/$600 for software alone cries

 

[StevieP]

Can someone tell me how you guys went 31 pages in 1 day? And... lastly... what the hell happened over these 31 pages that caused so much discussion?

 

[ffdgh]

if only it was a gcn controller with a screen in it.....or a classic controller

 

[NeoRausch]

All functions on the touchscreen
swing the controller around to fight (must touch screen to grab enemies)

*barfs*

sounds ugly. Heavy motion controls don't belong to that controller. And any action heavy situation shouldn't be handelt by the touchscreen.

it might be that Nintendo went and supported his new baby engine so why not praise the hell out of it if your new baby works on it

 

[TunaLover]

From some comments from Crytek and Epic it really looks like they are pushing MS/Sony to go all out next gen, I fear a big gap between Wii U and PS4/720 again =/

 

[Naked Prime]

I wonder if after Steel Battalion flops on 360 will Capcom do a Wiiu port? Seems like it would be a good fit for the controller.

Again, the gap won't be as huge as this gen since Wii U uses shaders and stuff. Don't be too concerned.

this is like tiny chat version of a NeoGAF thread?

eh...atlease we'll finally have hd?
and i dont think nexbox will push it too far. but sony?

I guess. Still... feels weird.

You'd have to fingerbump your brother in arms though

why not just port anyway without waiting for it to bomb

So there has been absolutely no content in 3 days? But like... 10,000 posts?

Sony is going 3rd Party BELIEVE :3

On the TV, yes.

But the screen resolution on the uPad is shit because no Retina -> it's Nintendo.

 

[AceBandage]

This is the 2011 list
But all links link back to a post on that forum which will then provide a link to the source
Rumor Consolidation 2011

and this is the 2012 list so far
Rumor Consolidation 2012


p.s. There are 2 rumors sourced back to members of that forum
1 is to me, and the other is another member that I know in real life.

Spoiler

(I vetted both sources before posting them on here)

Ace should add this to the OP if he hasn't already.

I'll look these over and check them out.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

nope we had some very interesting hints from ideally very interesting people ;P

 

[Lausebub]

4CR: With the game now set to release on the Wii U digital store (WiiUware? Wii U eShop?), what are your plans for this specific version? You have mentioned a level editor, but I’m sure you already have other ideas as well.

TT: There are a lot of things we can do with a controller like that. We’ve been thinking of using the camera to measure light intensity and translate that into the game, or perhaps having a Tokidex for all the creatures in the game.

Toki Tori 2 talk.

You got to stop that. Somebody i ought to belive you!

 

[Übermatik]

It's frustrating that we learn of Wii U news through an unrelated interview, like an interview fr Ninja Gaiden/Batman is some kind of sick catalyst for making a vague, pointless comment on the system.

Can't we get someone asking devs what they think of the Wii U ALONE, at it's current stage in development?

 

[Wolfie5]

Sweet news on Batman AC if true. I almost bought the PC version a few weeks back but I decided to wait and see how the Wii U version turns out.

Well, I couldn´t wait for it and bought the PC version. Awesome game, my GOTY for 2011.

Only way I´ll double dip is if it has extra content.

 

[Conor 419]

And then most assumed that Nintendo had the baddest one despite showing neat stuff.

Despite being not great, Nintendo still had the best E3.

How has the general E3 consensus gone?

2006 - ???
2007 - Microsoft
2008 - Microsoft
2009 - Microsoft
2010 - Nintendo
2011 - Nintendo

??

It seems like it'll be close between MS and Nintendo this year. Who knows what Sony's doing.

Using the Wii U controller to scan the room for evidence and the trajectory of bullets....that would be mad good! Wish I hadn't played the game already

what would be the point of asking if they cannot answer because of NDAs?

they probably do ask in interviews but they are told they can't talk about it so its left out

I'll answer that for you.

it is not a direct port so I would assume it has extra content without that content its just a year old port eww

BUT WHEN WILL THAT STOP!? If there's no build up to E3 with interviews, infos and leaks, then I can only guess the Wii U is launching late this year...

Every. Time.

Do we know that? All I know is it will have the controller functionality.

Every. Time.

NDAs have to have an end date where they lift

Nintendo still has investor meetings but maybe the hush hush is to make the E3 presentation as fresh as possible it could be a major blowout with huge hype for holiday sales

my fear is the WiiU will be sold out everywhere and it will be Wii Launch all over again

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Rein said its not a direct port I doubt its just about controller being different all controllers are different
