How does the Rayman figures on the touchscreen work? Are there little nubs that "touch" the screen in a specific pattern that the game will recognize? If so, wouldn't that require multitouch? Maybe I'm behind, but wasn't it confirmed not to be multitouch?

No, you know what's actually a shame? That Itagaki is apparently embroiled in development hell with Devil's Third.It's a shame that NG3 sucks. I wanted it.
Well said.
Near field communications. Think pay pass on credit cards or card activated door locks in hotels.

We'll see. I'd like to think we'd get DOA5 Wii U this Fall to go with our Tekken. I generally like DOA better in spite of the stupid realdoll presentation on the female characters.
Ninja Gaiden totally fell off my radar when I saw the reviews. It's been replaced by the new Rayman game though so we're all good.
No, it's Near Field Communication. It's radio communication stimulated by touch. It's the same tech that apps like iPhone Bump use.
Chip in action figure, a screen sensor communicates wirelessly to the chip through the use of NFC, near field communication standard
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It is a chip inside the object that is sensed by the NFC in the controller.
Edit: Beaten.

I will most certainly buy it now.
Speaking of NFC, I think Activision will be rolling out a Wii U exclusive Skylanders at E3. (Shocking, I know). Maybe not the most exciting franchise for GAF'ers, but a big budget Skylanders experience exclusive to Wii U could drive a lot of early adoption.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's on-stage at Nintendo's conference.

Fight the power!
With rumors of Wii U having "streetpass", there most certainly will be something like Streetpass Quest, only this time you can purchase figurines of your favorite Nintendo heroes to get you out of your cinch.
Is your figurine Reggie?!
Of course these figurines will work with Smash Bros too, hope you're reggie to abduct Iwata using the cunning Miyamoto!

Getting back to the lack of a "clicky stick" option in the Wii U, I figure you just move the buttons you'd normally use for item switching onto the touch screen and the repurpose the face buttons accordingly. Nice thing about that is you trade a brief glance for a direct switch to an item over fighting with a weapon wheel to get what you want.
Once you got used to it I figure the controls would actually be superior.

Yeah, they're only putting it on the screen for effect. It's the NFC that recognizes a chip in the figure.
Edit: Geez, everyone jumped on this... My post is now about Zelda.
I want a really explorable overworld. Lots of random caves and secrets.

it's used as quick access to melee in shooters without having to remove your thumb from the stick. That's my biggest gripe about it a while back. I remember arguing about this with guek a while back, but to me there is no better option than a click stick for melee in a shooter.
Click sticks are functionality there is no reason not to have. Especially how it's used in some of the most popular "core" games of the generation.
Nice. Here I was thinking that I had one final big countdown left, but we get to implement Smiles' mini-countdown protocol. Makes the wait a bit more bearable..
I as reminded by watching the Zelda tech demo again for wii-u, hiw great u can move shit on and off the tv screen to the tablet like the HUD, so you get a whole screen rendered world with no bullshit clogging up that beautiful background
Events usually have PR people, so they'll hold everybody at gunpoint to not release info, I trust all our new info will have to come from leaks, sadly. Though if the "nordic" part means there is a leaky chance of the new Longest Journey game coming to Wii U (hey, episodic DD distribution is it's concept?! also Tablet Adventure YES) then consider myself on the blow-up-hype-duck.
Well, since bg seems to think analog triggers are in (YAY!), only one tiny gripe to hope for changes to, and that's face button size. I'm fine with it either way but would greatly prefer larger buttons.
Well, we'll probably get both, since Team Ninja and Nintendo appear to be besties now from out of NOWHERE.
Yeah, so glad they have a new character designer. And it looks like a lot of fun. Thanks to Tekken's appearance at E3 2011, I think a lot of fighting games are gonna make the transition, like the Capcom fighters (first console versions in 1080p), perhaps the new Darkstalkers, Mortal Kombat (they'll need to recover the investment from the totally abysmal Vita port).... but what I'm really looking forward to is Virtua Fighter 6. Make it happen, Sega.

Ahh best friends forever and ever and ever and ever and they get to hang out under the colourful rainbow. Or they could be something more then friends. xD
Why not?
They have a mic and a camera on the tablet controller, I think that functionality may be there one day if not by launch or for certain games

What do you expect when Nintendo let Team Ninja develop a Metroid game?
If Nintendo let any company develop any of their IP's, they'd either have to be really close, or become best friends forever and ever.
Or they could be friends with benefits... or a couple.
You shouldn't have to be chained to it down to the hardware though. I'm sure developers can figure out how to account for one or two fewer buttons. I've seen them do it before.
Holly shit, Samus went with that Ninja dude, no wonder she ended up having mental issues.
Well I think Nintendo and Tecmo in general seem to be buddy buddy atm. Look at Fatal Frame.
Draw things on the screen during video chat?
NG3 is Britta?
Now you're thinking with portals!

I'd rather they put them in there too, don't get me wrong. I just don't think it's that big of a deal if they don't.
Analog triggers are a different matter, certainly hope they fix that.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Steam does it just fine. As long as the framework is there for encrypted files, nobody will ever hack it. In fact, Steam encryption is probably the best early release piracy protection around. I don't think it has ever been cracked.
"Please stop drawing dicks on my face"
You're right. It just seems so random considering Tecmo was one of those groups that didn't do ANYTHING for Nintendo hardware.
Idea: If a full Metal Gear is ever made for the Wii U, the codec (and probably radar) should show up on the touch screen. If they ever do another MGO and it get's a Wii U version, players could call each other by codec, and the interface would show up on the touch screen with each player's face (or avatar's face) showing up in video chat. Each player who has a character in the game could even have their own frequency.

I think its quite obvious. They didn't want to risk going on the HD systems (just like Monster Hunter) so they stuck with the weaker system.

Nintendo going against what has been set forth as a relative standard doesn't exactly inspire confidence that they are out to capture the "hardcore" Western market now, as they have purported.
We're talking about clickable sticks here. Not the lack of an analog stick. Is it really THAT important?

Nintendo is being Nintendo by providing the touch screen.
The, err, non-Nintendo supplemental feature, aka standard controller layout, is what should enable them to compete in the way of ports, attracting Western developers, and so on.
It fits in with their supposed new philosophy. Which by throwing out the aspect of a more standardized controller makes their claims seem rather dubious.
Well, I'm talking about clickable sticks, analog sticks, and a really, really stupid button cluster/d-pad location.
So just a question.
Is it safe to say that Nintendo has been kind of lazy with creating good D-Pads on controllers?
I'm talking systems like GameCube, 3DS, and some of their other controllers. Like the Wii remote's dpad being way too small.
Which is strange because Nintendo use to be the kings of making good Dpads.

It's fair enough to complain about the GC D-Pad (I think that was just a GBA one, right?), but I've never had any problem with the Wiimote one, how big are your hands?
I doubt it's being lazy... there must be some reason for the d-pads.
DSLite Doad is still my favorite Dpad. I also think the Wii's Dpad (maybe the one for the classic controller) is better than Sony's or Microsoft's.
You can be sure analog + clic triggers are going to be there due to the Gamecube Virtual Console compatibility. They're not going to make you buy YET another controller aside for it, it's already bad enough in the Wii without the tablet. They cannot afford fucking anything up, and they're surely going to get a lot of trouble from the beginning with the non-plus wii remotes.
