Finally the PS3 feature we've been waiting for.
Wii U Speculation Thread The Third: Casting Dreams in The Castle of Miyamoto
- Thread starter AceBandage
- Start date
About the only thing I wish Retro did from a looks perspective for DKCR was to implement the fur that Jungle Beat did for DK and various other elements in that game. Otherwise, DKCR's art design desecrates the renders and art direction of the SNES Country games. It's like no contest at all.

Neither AM I, the game was nice, but not something I expected from RETRO.
I'm glad at there at least working on a new IP.

Wii U footage is still NDA'd. I am positive those NDAs have not expired yet.
It seems incredibly unlikely (though I guess not 100% impossible) that someone fucked up and released Wii U screenshots.

Hopefully those artists that they hired will be put to good use.

That's pretty much what I figured.
Are we seriously still doing that "Retro can only produce this or disappointed total" thing? =/
Haha, awesome. The NDA situation sounds bonkers but natural with regards to transitioning gens and Nintendo's own secrecy. Potentially getting a glimpse at what's coming because someone didn't realize what was going on though? That makes for a nice gift in the dry news season.

On top of that shareholders and execs at Nintendo have to be licking their lips thinking "Yummy... increased revenue..." *drools*
Yeah, 2D Mario and Donkey Kong need awesome hand-drawn environments.
2.5D should die.

Which would make that the single worst thing so far about next gen. I still need to go and buy SMG2 but I'm sure it's still $50. You can't wait Nintendo out. I saw SMB3 for $60 at target.
Like I said, I think we'll know if that screenshot was an unintentional leak later tonight

What are you guys going on about? DKCR looked fantastic and had great visual moments such as this:
bleh, sorry, but, bleh.

Well, according to three awesome Metroid games, one awesome Donkey Kong game and tha majority (?) of the tracks in Mario Kart 7, we can pretty safely assume that Retro can do pretty much anything with any IP and it'll be awesome (but probably only as long as Nintendo is watching behind their backs. Like they did with Rare).
But yeah, I'm getting kinda annoyed by it too.
Retro is doing something, yes.
It's very possibly for the Wii U, yes.
We don't know, though, WHAT it is.

We know that, WHATEVER Retro is making, it's gonna be awesome and it'll be praised by gamers and critics alike. So just enjoy it. It's like christmas. You don't open your presents BEFORE christmas, do you?
(or christmas eve, depending on how you celebrate it).
The silhouette levels were very nice, but everything else was quite generic looking. It was better than NSMBW though.What are you guys going on about? DKCR looked fantastic and had great visual moments such as this:
Still, hand-drawn graphics is the way to go for side-scrolling games.
You're seriously trying to say though that this game:
had better art direction?
...different strokes for different folks I guess...

Except those weren't the cutscene screen shots. Those were at the bottom of that page.
We have footage of that being a level. Look at my previous post on it.

Market does not respond to hand-drawn anymore.
Sorry, guys! But when the NSMB Wii buying audience sees sprites, they think the game is archaic.

You can, the game just has to sell poorlyWhich would make that the single worst thing so far about next gen. I still need to go and buy SMG2 but I'm sure it's still $50. You can't wait Nintendo out. I saw SMB3 for $60 at target.
The penalty is that if your company leaks information, you have to let Cammie be the one to do your E3 conference.
Hey, it beats Jamie Kennedy
There's a number of reasons the hud could be missing. Plus, look at the cursor. It's either PS3+move or wii u.
Man, that's friggin' brutal.

Now your post is prettier.
Seriously, all i want on Wii U launch window is a FPS metroid like the good trilogy on GC and Wii.
I wouldn't complain about that.
Even if it looks like this?
I really hope Nintendo gives us 2D Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong and a top-down Zelda, all with awesome hand-drawn graphics, 60fps and fluid animation in HD.
This would be okay. Lot's of scope for interesting elements of the game, The Upad could be used creatively, that's for sure.
Don't be reasonable
What? There is no PC version...
and why would it look so remarkably better than PS360 even if there were? Better yes, but not to that extent.
you can see the cursor
Yes there is.
Source? I can't find any reference to a PC version.
Are we talking about DS2?

Since Darksiders II is expected to be released by the end of June (on the 26th to be precise), I wonder how long excitement for the title can be sustained for it to be relevant on Wii U as well. If Wii U launches in September, will it make for people to purchase this game for that format?
I also wonder if the Limited Edition, which comes with content pack Arguls Tomb for free, will be made available for Wii U. That if anything could spur people to purchase Wii U, but still a gap of two or three months between versions of Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U wouldn't really make sense.
