Speaking about commercial moves Nintendo should do for Wii U:
from today's Media-Create thread:

17./29. [WII] Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo - 4/10/2008) - 6,783 / 3,561,199 (+93%)

Instead of a 2d Mario platformer, that will be out for 3DS in August, I think that they should plan a brand new Mario Kart for Wii U (targeting a wide range of demographic with online, upad gyroscope and so on) at launch.

I don't think it makes sense.
Mario Kart is an ideal 2nd holiday title.
Its a strong brand, it hits just when the console is doing well and gives it that extra boost.
And honestly, if they have Sonic All Star Racing at launch, they should help Sega to push that.

Also, I want them to get it right since they tend to only do one per console.

No. Do this and your kids will become MS nuts when they hit their preteen years and want to rebel against you. Bash Nintendo in front of them constantly.

WHAT WERE THEY SMOKING

I actually never ended up buying Mario Kart Wii (I must be the only person on Earth) because I was playing Brawl non stop for 2 years straight.

Nope, I don't own Mario Kart Wii either.

I have to admit, Mario Kart 7(!) is the first one I actually own.

I still have no idea why "GCN" became the abbreviation for "Nintendo GameCube". It's almost as if it was supposed to be called "GameCube Nintendo" or something dumb.

Worse, last time I asked this question aloud, somebody claimed it was Nintendo who coined the abbreviation in the first place. I don't know what to say to that...

No, that's a tesseract, not a tessellator.

NGC was actually used in Japan. I think the reason GCN became the abbreviation in the U.S. was trademark related. But that was a long time ago I heard that, so don't quote me on it.

But subscreen refers to the screen and not necessarily the whole controller. How would you talk about just the screen with that term? For example, people would say things like... "I think the touchscreen on my subscreen has some dead pixels, Is this under warranty?" Confusing.

You mean the subtouchscreen?

I still like w.u.c., pronounced "wuck". If we do get support for two controllers we can refer to the set as the wuc-wucs.

Somebody suggested WUT ("Wii U Tablet") for the expected reasons of potential hilarity last thread.

I personally really liked "SubCon".

I'd say we should be bros, but once you find out that I've never beaten Majora's Mask (despite having seen most of it played and loving the music), you would not want to speak to me until I do. So I won't tell you that.

... Wait. Shit.

here for example

The Wii U expected library is definitively promising.

Kinect's popularity continues to baffle me. It's like the Wii in the sense that it has tons of widespread appeal and that a majority of the people who have it use it less than 10 times, but at least the Wii had good games coming out for it on a regular basis. The Kinect hasn't had one BIG game for it since it launched with Dance Central.

it's a pos for gaming.

It shines as a media controller though.

The person from a few days ago who said that it was like being a kid with a new video game was correct in that assessment. It gives you pretty much everything you could possibly want in this sort of experience with minimal sacrifice.

I see one or two films a year, and this randomly happened to be it, and I do not at all regret that decision.

Yeah, Far Cry... one of them was one of the Wii's first FPS.
Ubisoft has found terrific success on the Wii.
And I thought someone.. broke down one of the stills from E3.. and looked like had a Wii U a or was that photoshopped?

They spend half the movie trying to force some guy they find in Europe to give them his secrets about a new high tech gizmo that they hope to have in their hands shortly. He drops many hints which they initially gloss over, and they spend much of the time arguing heatedly with each other over trivial things.

Of course, I am not drawing any parallels of any sort with anybody anywhere.

Sorry. I hate superhero comics and I'm incredibly sick of the endless amount of stupid movie adaptions coming out all the damn time.

We know from the previous threads that Plantronics (the company specialized in headsets) is on board for the Wii U. There is a new job offer, with in the "following/knowing trends" required skills, a mention of the system.

I wonder what kind of headset this brand will make, what would be its advantage and how they will market it, considering the padlet already has a built-in microphone designed for comfortable voice chat. Maybe a noise-canceling technology on it ? Perhaps "your team-mates won't meet difficulties listening to your orders with our new lightweight headset with a mic near your mouth !" ?

Hopefully the redesigned controller has a mic port.

By the way, if Nintendo knows how to present NFC... they will swim in money.

More than 30 million Skylanders figurines were sold

Even if it doesn't, the headphone jack can function as one. Most newer headphone jacks can.

I'm genuinely not interested in either of those. Though Far Cry 3 is something I'll play when it's like 8 bucks on sale in the future.
