Fake news from GAF > videogame news site > Fake news from GAF

Cycle completes itself. I'm pretty sure someone could cause the stock market to drop for a major company here with a well executed plan of trickery. Then we could buy the stock in bulk while it's down and get rich.

[Shurayuki]

Speaking about sticks… if regular analog sticks were an impossibility, what would be best: A) The protruding nubs that we see currently on the DRC B) Flatter nubs like on the 3DS or PSP C) Teensy analog sticks like on the PSV D) Flat capacitive pads (like on that Sony Playstation phone) ? I would have said A, but I actually tried out C at the store recently, and they were a lot better than I expected. Didn't get to try them on an actual game, though, as the unit was unpowered.

I might speak out of line since I only really played Monster Hunter on the 3DS but the Circle Pad is actually quite nice, not remotely as horrible as it would seem. As long as it's tight (I hear CCP feels a bit loose?) I'm fine wit that for the time being.

I thought that's what we assumed Pachter was doing here *playful* :D

I have no problem with the 3DS nubs.

I have no problem with the 3DS nubs.

Me neither, but I can't do anything but Gamecube Controller for SSB WiiU.

I dislike the 3DS nub. The grip on it isn't good enough for me. Any prolonged gaming session where you need to use it a lot and my thumb is slipping off it, so I would like the protruding ones to keep that from happening. But at the same time I hope it still is made of material that has some friction to it.

The Wii U circle pads look better than the 3DS circle pad, but I'm hoping we see some true analog sticks on a revised controller at E3.

Circle pads suck.

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

In my dreams???

I permaban Ace the day before Iwata's presentation.

Joke of I.

[AceBandage]

I don't see how anyone can like those tiny little sticks.
Ugh.

D:
Why would you do this?!

[Haunted]

So does that mean the retard defense force needs a new captain?

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I can't seem them going to analog sticks, anyone that has used the controller:

How much of an improvement are the U Pad's circle pads from the 3DS's???

(myself, don't mind the circle pads on the 3DS that much though they aren't perfect)

[NinjaTehFish]

So does that mean the retard defense force needs a new captain?

Puts hand up.

also im sure someone will have fun with this:

[GameplayWhore]

I'm so lost. What happened?

We were talking about cool Wii U system menu designs. Then the Internet exploded. Timey Wimey. Universe Reset. Now we're talking about different kinds of analog directional controls.

Ace is my dad, so I don't like you.

This makes sense, oddly enough.

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Take it as a compliment, I thought of whom it would hurt the most.

[Oddduck]

I think people should just assume the worst, and expect the circle pads instead of real analogue sticks on the controller.

Miyamoto seems content with circle pads, and normally when Miyamoto likes something, it usually sticks.

[AceBandage]

Ace is my dad, so I don't like you. This makes sense, oddly enough.

You're still grounded, mister.

Take it as a compliment, I thought of whom it would hurt the most.

[Thunder Monkey]

I'LL DO IT!

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'LL DO IT!

You're too sane to be the one.

[lednerg]

The [analog trigger] clickiness would more for Gamecube alikeness than any compatibility with the competition, though, right?

Yeah, but it's also something that should be given a second chance. I mean, you've got the aim button and the fire button all in one, which is perfect. Maybe just change it so the feel of the analog is a little less 'mushy' than the GC.

[GameplayWhore]

The U's pads seem more upraised (unless I did a poor job of looking at them last time I checked), so they have at least one benefit that sticks typically have compared to flat nubs.

[Log4Girlz]

Someone posted a defective screenshot and got rejected from GAF.

My heavenly body is ready. :D

Not before the old captain gets a proper military funeral.

This gif will suffice.

A year later and this gif still hasn't gotten old. I love it every time it pops up.

[GameplayWhore]

Nibel, after briefly taking in thread feedback: THIS ONE is godly. This is what I want. It's the best way to use touch screen + giant screen in a manner that is as functional as it is beautiful. …except for the lack of folders. ;)

Pff, fine, if nobody else is going to post anymore, I'll just do all the speculatin' myself!

This mockup is pretty sweet, but I think I'd like to populate the empty space below the n" logo with icons representing categories. A film reel for videos, a globe for networked apps, a checked box for local multiplayer games. I'd want it to be customized -- use your own icon images, and populate your categories simply by dragging from the box containing the game/app's image to the category icon. This seems really straightforward, but it'd reduce the clutter that happens when you have eventually downloaded many more apps than would fill up, say, two of those swipey pages.

Also, I imagine the large "game currently in disc" box should persist even when you slide through pages.

Even though it's a touch screen, the dpad and both analogs should allow for moving your focus, and then any face or shoulder button can activate whatever's selected.


Also, I was serious when I said I wanted an updated Mario 64 face on the DRC which mirrors the turning and tilting of your head and the expression on your face (via the camera analyzing you). Mirror Mario would be totally useless but it would rock!! :D


Also, I'm thinking that the stuff the Mii is wearing and other cool stuff on the TV part of the sysmenu should be only available by doing things in games. I think that XBL achievements sometimes do this, and I would like a similar feature, albeit one which does not use a point system at all (apparently, that part of the system means that incredibly shitty games that give you lots of points get high sales, and that's unfair to the market, imho).

[Bagu]

What i love about the gif is that all could still happen.
It won't.
But we can dream!

we're all in agreement that the surprise and likely launch first party game is the retro game right? Since it has been in development longest and they said it's crunch time this year...

*sees lots of pages have been made*

you missed a perma ban...that was something.

I doubt it's been in development longer than Pikmin 3. ;P

I'm thinking that Retro's game could be actually a Summer next year thing and that an actual surprise is waiting for the end of the N-Conf.

Do mods usually explicitly state in the thread when it's a perm like EL did this time around? Or was this just something done as a warning to people who were getting a bit excited?

Well, we had another casualty of the Nintendo madness. That's worth a read :P

It's very rare for a mod to comment on a ban, let alone for Evil Lore to pop in and up it. It was certainly done as a warning against trying shit like that again.

no way they depend on pikmin 3 for their big launch game though. If it's not a mario title then it has to be the retro game I would think.

I'm planning one also.

Thank you.

I skimmed the last couple and I'm assuming it was over a fake?

Missing over a day is not good for anyone trying to keep up, haha.

[snowdog1971]

So, how about that Wii U, yeah? What's the current over/under on click sticks?

I can see Nintendo adding them if enough developers badger them about it. Whilst having a touchscreen makes them unnecessary imo it would be odd for Nintendo to go back to a more traditional controller (compared to the remote and nunchuck) and not have analog triggers and clickable sticks.

I'm also a bit peeved that we're not getting Resident Evil 6 at launch, and a bit surprised too given Capcom's good relationship with Nintendo these days. The touchscreen is ideal for the franchise and will also be perfect if they're using the Genesis Scanner from Revelations again.

Mind you, we might have something better on the way from them with a bit of luck!

[Log4Girlz]

I skimmed the last couple and I'm assuming it was over a fake?

Yup. I then wondered how long a sentence that carries...Duckroll said he wouldn't see e3 basically and Evilore made it a perm :O

[SmithnCo]

no way they depend on pikmin 3 for their big launch game though. If it's not a mario title then it has to be the retro game I would think.

They probably want that Mii NSMB to come out around that timeframe as well, at least I would. That and the Retro game would make for a good starting selection.
