Thanks. I originally made it without the Reggie face and people wanted it to have Reggie so BY2K (R.I.P.) added it.
This is the original.
What happened to BY2K?

What happened to BY2K?
If they do an HD version, I might have to do a hand-me-down of my copy to a nephew and just double-dip. The thing that scares me about this kind of game? Say bye-bye to my social life and free time for months on-end.
He, along with axisofweevils and a few others, is one of the fallen who did not make it. But he will be back, and if I recall correcly, soon.
I was quite surprised to hear that it might possibly be in the top 3. I don't know if it would have been sent to die if it had been released one or two years ago, but it probably wouldn't have done as well as it had now. Also I know some people who bought a Wii just to play the so called "best rpg of the generation." I think it would have done well regardless of the time it was released as long as it had the proper marketing.
I'd love an HD version or a sequel.
Christ what a depressing story. Especially about the Goldeneye Rogue Agent part and the horrible story about Haze becoming a PS3 exclusive. Bizarre.

I meant a sequel for the Wii U.
Aye, but don't hold your breath for DefensiveReject. I salute his moxie!
edit: speaking about bans, I followed the link earlier in this thread about the Xbox 360 patent thing, and I was pretty amused to see that it was derailed because of a mod ban.

But there is so much new information about the Wii U that we need to discuss.
Hm rumor has it that the next Xbox is in manufacturing stages. Anyone else think they're going to try to upstage Nintendo at this E3 by showing the Xbox 3?
He's coming back soon. I miss him already

This is all we know so far.
also important note: be careful about "port begging" -- making a post saying "This game should be on Wii U" -- the mods might hammer you for it
It's probably okay to do here, but I think that going into other Official Threads and expressing it could get meaty. There's a tendency for such posts to derail the thread, so I understand why they do it. I just don't want to lose anybody else. :'(
Oooohhh..
If it does as well as folks are saying, this wouldn't surprise me. Then again, Nintendo writing it off as some kind of fluke would also not surprise me. For all we know, it could end-up being one of those games that a small core group of fans will always wish over, wanting to see a sequel. Then, somewhere around the Year 2032, Nintendo will do a reboot of the series.
That site is fake and not official

Same here. We rode in the choo-choo together, right next to each other..

I figured it wasn't official, but isn't it actually used by banned posters to leave quick notes about what happened? Or is it dangerous for me to assume that the comments posted there were made by BY2K?
Don't do it. If you want Wii U news, you gotta earn it!
Yeah, anyone can edit anything they want there for anyone.
Just don't trust this site - it was confirmed that a few quotes there are fake. You can even search for BP and I don't think if he ever gave a statement about any of his bans
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
There's almost zero chance that it is the actual next Xbox. An initial devkit, maybe, but not the final console.
MS has already stated publicly several times that they're not introducing it at E3.

Wow. Another thread, why I am not surprised. Lol. A lot has changed, a lot of people not here, *sniff* and a lot more madness as we get closer. Let's do this!!
I've always worried a bit about this. Let's say that Game Installment #3 comes out on the U. I mean, is it okay to wish aloud that that I'd love to see #s 1 & 2 brought over, taking note that it could be a lucrative move for the publisher/developer?
Nvver knew this site existed. Guess you really do learn something new everyday... except something about the WiiU.
From what I understand it's usually only frowned upon during the run up to a games release. In that instance it would be fine.

This website has suddenly become even more awesome in my eyes.
But, yeah, I get the idea and won't use it authoritatively.
I think it's mainly a preventative measure against derailing upcoming or just-released game threads with a sudden fanboy war. Your example is a much safer context. Nonetheless, it's up to the people in power.
There has technically been a ton of port begging in this thread, but we're in a sandboxed environment. This thread probably results in fewer instances of mass-crazy in other threads.

Wow. That's kinda horrible.
If anything, I'd look to twitter for an official statement from the banned. That's been much more reliable.
Exactly zero chance. Microsoft manufacturing the next Xbox in Texas? Seriously?
John Harker
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
the thumb sticks are clickable
Funnily enough, I'm actually kind of disappointed by that.
Are the triggers now analogue? That's much more important.
Yep and selling it for 899$
1 less thing for people to complain about.
Work more hours to buy one. Do it for USA!

Honestly, whether its MS or Sony, I can't see them BOTH ignoring the fact that Nintendo is releasing a new console that WILL be direct competition with their "core" gamer market. I think it almost forces them in a way.
Randomizing that is fun.
I can't stop. Some of them make me wince, while others are just hilarious.
That's pretty much what I figured. Trying to be very sensitive about it, as I've seen plenty of folks canned for it.

1) Price? $350.00
2) Release date? November 5, 2012...
3) Bullshit xbox360-based Multiplier Equivalent? 5.0x
4) Nintendo conference surprise(s)? A confirmation that F-Zero exists to them in some capacity and that they will begin working on it.
5) Predict Miyamoto's role/costume/appearance context in this year's show. - Tingle
6) Any special MS or Sony predictions? Sony will have something special to show in the winter for "mobile and tablet" gamers that will function with the PS3. Will tease ahead of time and it will turn out to be a ripoff of Nintendo's controller.
7) You know we're going to hear some, umm, interesting excuses from third parties. So.. what'll be your favorite? "We would love to make software for the Wii U, but it has to be different/special!"
8) Any special E3 plans/arrangements of your own? Taking off from work? Skipping a final exam? Gonna sit back and order a gigantic amount of junk food for that day unless I have classes. I'll gladly pig out if my classes are later in the day. Gonna try and get a couple of friends on steam voice chat while we watch the stream.
9) Your favorite bullshit gaming media critique of Nintendo's performance at E3 this year? "Nintendo doesn't try hard enough to get third parties on board. Where are RE6 and CoD:Blops2?"
10) Your own predicted complaint/peeve/angering issue regarding Nintendo's E3 performance this year? A bunch of Donkey Kong, Mario and Pikimin, but no F-Zero, Wave Race or Metroid in site. Dammit I'm pissing myself off now.

Clickysticks are nice for some, but they're not really necessary for gaming
Analog triggers? They're not widely necessary, but they're crucial in certain games, like racers. In the past thread, I think people made a good case for why having them is important, especially since there could be two racing games specifically targeted to the race game enthusiast (Concept Grand Prix and Project CARS) in the release window or not long after.
Nintendo likes doing there own thing, and I think that the nature of the slide pads ("circle pads"? Wait, what are they calling them this week?) make it an interesting option to do analog pressure sensitivity. That allows you to have clickystick functionality but with a bit more added on top.
1) Price?
$/299 standard
$/399 with 500GB HDD, Wiimote+ and pre-installed Wind Waker HD

Nothing much, they'll both be looking to get one more good holiday season out of their machines before announcing their next gen consoles early next year
7) You know we're going to hear some, umm, interesting excuses from third parties. So.. what'll be your favorite?
"Our dev-kits got FedExed to the wrong office, by the time it was sorted out it was too late to bother with development. Nintendo's next console, though? We'll be all over that!"
