Wii U Speculation Thread The Third: Casting Dreams in The Castle of Miyamoto

nah they are working on Majora's Mask and A Link to the Past 3D for 3DS

let them have a rest after that... I can wait

Why would you joke about something like that, if that doesn't happen now you're SOL, I'm gonna send my Kpop Ninjas :o

It's just nice to see somebody thinking reasonably.

I've been saying it for months--Nintendo doesn't NEED the "hardcore" gamer that's interested in high-end graphics, etc. They never had them on the Wii and it was hugely successful.

It goes against my personal desires (I'd love to see them put out a powerful console that competes with the Sony/MS consoles) but, business-wise, I see why they would keep it cost-effective.

I know about PR-BS but really, why would they explicitly state that the Wii U's mission was to get those gamers back. Could've just gone without saying that then and possibly spared us some drive-by-haters.
 
Wasn't that interview fake?

It was posted on some wrestling site as an interview with an anonymous employee of THQ. Ordinarily that would be enough to make me dismiss it out of hand, but in it he talks about THQ's decision to exit the casual games market, which as far as I'm aware wasn't public knowledge at the time (leaked out a few weeks later). That, plus the fact that it doesn't have any of the tell-tale signs of fakes, has me leaning towards accepting it as a real interview.

I also haven't heard THQ asking to pull the interview.
 
I don't even give a shit what most 3rd parties tbh, the more I think about it. I just want From to make the next Souls game for all consoles. So much potential for dat wiiU controller.

And it's one of the very few series that truly amazes me even in my veteran gaming years. Truly magnificent shit.

if next gens situation is similar to the current gens situation, i don't think they would.

yeah but it won't be a wii situation, I honestly don't blame many developers for not porting to Wii. Some stupid reasons overall but I don't blame em.

But if there are 3 hd consoles that aren't WAY too far off in power, I hope it's not an issue. That and the souls games don't push graphics THAT much. I hope someone asks them at E3 or something what their plans are.

edit: actually it looks like they plan to support PC so I guess that could be my backup...all is now well. Easier on console for me though.

Fixed.
 
So guys when will Nintendo's E3 conference occur? E3 is June 5-7, and last year Nintendo had its conference on the first day (June 7, June 7-9 was E3 2011). Do you think it will be on June 5 then?

I really hope not because I have a final exam 9-11am on that day :(

It will happen when the moon allows it to happen.

Are you me?

I couldn't care less about third party support on the Wii U. I don't buy Nintendo consoles for third party games. During all those "Wii software droughts"... I was playing 360 and PS3.

Assuming the Souls games will be released from now on for PC in glorious 60 fps @ 1080p... a Wii U version wouldn't do much for me.

one would hope. And yes we are one in the same, but don't tell anyone.

Just had a baby girl and I've been away for about 4 days. Anything happen?
nothing but some shitty wrong information spreading on the internet about the wii u being weaker than ps360.

congrats on the baby bud, that's some next level shit.

But since I got no sleep last night I feel like I still haven't lurned, just like ninty
 
Congratulations on the baby girl! Ours arrived 3 weeks ago today and we're still not sleeping :)


Ours arrived nine months ago and I got about 3 hours last night..teething is a bitch.
 
Sheesh, I have no idea what's going on around here, but the Nintendo discussion (mostly bad) is in full force. I think I'm gonna bail for the day and come back tomorrow. Maybe it'll be better then.

The closer we get to e3, the worse it's going to get. Expect rumors of wormhole technology in a month or so.

Training Mode in Ultimate Marvel VS. Capcom 3 has kept me more engaged that GAF has today. Now if only I could get around to playing my backlog instead of trying to get this goddamned teleport consistent. :lol
 
You know, I'd still be playing my Wii if it wasn't for the Wii Mote because it has a lot of amazing games. I just CANNOT stand that stupid controller... my god. Wii U is a god send for me, right now my Wii just collects dust. >_<

Don't worry, I have the same problem.

I do Doom loops for hours, and I don't even play the damn character. It's just so fun :x

How many N64 games did you own?

I think ~25. Most play time was dedicated to Mario 64 (at least 1000 hours alone), Smash 64, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, THPS2 and Diddy Kong Racing.
