My point still stands... It has happened before. PC Gamer used to be notorious for it.
Wait, is NP bimonthly now? The last issue was the April one.

I think so. Going back to its roots, but still kinda sad.Wait, is NP bimonthly now? The last issue was the April one.
"or you'll rue your fate, comrade"
Sounds like Kojima dialogue.
The issue from that image is from the May issue.
It definitely looks like a JP-style image. Some sort of giant weapon?
Yeah, figured that out. I was initially confused, since nothing else from the May issue (which only just reached subscribers) seems to have been posted online yet.

Dual Hype!You should simul-post it on Vandal to reward their undying love and worship of you.
Yep!Sounds like typical Nintendo, actually.
Some things won't be really used until later because they focus on specific things first.
Looks like the map of a European microstate.Wii U related?
Devkit downgrades confirmed....
High latency at low speeds?
By the way, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Whenever the subject of of the GPU fab comes up, you never mention the possibility of Nintendo choosing NEC like they have for the past two generations and you seem pretty adamant that they'll use TMSC's 40nm. Is there a particular reason for that?

Yeah I'm thinking Metro: Last Light for Wii U
Makes sense since it was already announced and this issue is prior to E3.
Note the dialog: (after 6:10)

I'm disappointed by the latest devkit news. One of Nintendo's little demons is the tendency to think up new concepts then be unable to implement them all in time for launch. It would be a bit of a downer if some of what we saw at last E3 wasn't available as a feature until some future, post-release "upcoming system update".
A lot of what was shown in the reveal video looked like OS functionality or dedicated apps to me, I can believe that the camera stuff wasn't finalised or readied for the v4 sdk, but I don't think that'll have any bearing on what the machine does at launch. Why do devs need access or knowledge of what the OS is going to do in its entirity? They don't really. And there are other things they could have been working on while Nintendo finalised the camera stuff... Nintendo clearly plan for at least a video chat app and this hasn't been rushed like the 3DS -- whereas 3DS had to wait for its shop and certain apps, I'm 100% certain they'll avoid that with Wii-U.
I don't think it's related to a Nintendo IP.What other games would have dialoge similar to "Rue your fate, comrade" ? Trying to think of Nintendo IPs that would fit that bill but having a hard time.
Wii U related?
007 Collection Wii/3DS/Wii U reveal?
Multiple Generations of Bonds
Russians
All good guesses but none are really a "cover story for the generations."
Unless "generations" is in the title (lame).
Still seems weird that they would do two Bond games in a year.
I'm pretty sure Shiggy said in the 007 Collection thread that the Skyfall Wii U game he leaked and 007 Collection are the same. So no Skyfall only Wii U game. (Assuming that's the second Bons game you're talking about)

You guys should stop quoting Discomurf's image, or he's going to get the ax.
Also, I hope it's the outline of some Monster Hunter with a weapon. ;_;
For the scan, it looks like a stylized Russia map, you can spot the Kamchatka, etc.
If you have some questions about my post, i'm here, don't hesitate, if i can answer. A pity that i've not seen the scan before posting my message, it will be overlooked
I believe those types of pages have always been considered fine by the powers that be.
Really?
Interesting.
The latency and bandwidth for GDDR3 and DDR3 are very similar. DDR3 has the main advantage of still being in high production (GDDR3 has been EOL'd awhile back), lower power consumption, and higher chip densities. There is absolutely no advantage to using GDDR3 over DDR3, and one should note that DDR3 is often the choice these days for lower end GPUs (cost factor).
I had the impression that NEC had higher prices - which was the reason MS switched to TSMC (larger fab capacity) - even for an older node (360 slim die sizes indicated 55/65nm eDRAM).
What's this about a Shiggy leak?
Oh, okay. That makes more sense than Metro.

Hm. I thought GDDR3 was a bit faster.
One last thing. Based on what you've said here and on B3D forums, 240-320 SPUs is the most reasonable range and anything over 400 is pretty much impossible in a case that size on 40nm, right?
Just to clarify, that link is about the alleged Wii U Skyfall game and 007 Legends being one-in-the-same. Not that the scan is about 007 Legends on Wii U.
I said I was accurate on the early target specs. That's a key part to remember.
007 Collection Wii/3DS/Wii U reveal?
Multiple Generations of Bonds
Russians
So it has less or more now?
Yeah it seems to fit.
And it would make sense that Bond would be one of the key titles for Nintendo. Kind of like Goldeneye 2 years ago.
