I think what the Nicalis dude is actually saying is that it will be Nintendo's most capable system. As in, its features will make it stand out and last longer in the market.

Considering that the title of the article is "The most powerful console Nintendo has ever made" ....


Doh.

[BGBW]

To bad it never got released here. NoA failure once again.

There was a rumour that NoE was looking into it. What a disappointing rumour. I feel betrayed by the mill of rumours and all who work in it.

Right...

You clearly never heard his soul voice. Dreamy.

Ain't you afraid this guy has a backdoor into your dreams?
I can easily fathom Nintendo engineers putting some of the R/D into developping a very different form of entertainment for his exclusive use, something reminiscent of what a japanese lord would have asked 2 centuries ago. you know, grown, tired, seen it all entertainment.

Ok, during his trip to Paris, Miyamoto has been with a lot of european reporters/media. El Mundo, a spanish newspaper, released an interview with him:

http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/0...334559905.html

Basically he says:

- Traditional games are now also available for iPhone and Android, so they are creating new types of games.

- Nintendo must be prepare for when he retires.

- He is preparing Nintendo for when he retires taking young and talented developers under his direct command giving them responsabilities.

- He is working in several small but important projects. Right now he is very focused in Pikmin 3 and Luigi's Mansion 2

- Nintendo will show a new Super Mario game for the Wii U in the E3. Combining the TV screen with the tablet sreen

- He wants to make something with the Wii Music IP. He said: "It is always sad that something is not sold as well as expected. I think these negative experiences on a project is a thorn that is stuck, so we usually try to work the best idea or at least take it up and concretize it from an angle different for use in another title. " Is that the case of Wii Music? "Yes, I want to do more with that idea," he adds with a laugh.

- He thinks the Wii U will have a great future.

- They talk about art but he doesn't consider himself an artist for his work on his games.

Waiting for the EDGE May issue XD

Oh lord. -_-'

Could be good if they learned anything from the original. No MIDI.

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Wii Music! This is the real bad news for Wii U.

[MDX]

Its been said that the Wii was just a test box.
Hence the reason why it was also white.

[guit3457]

Well, about Wii Music he said:

...I was not here for the weekend and the posts are more than doubled...

I had a party and now sitting here at work with a massive hangover...

tried to read some of the first pages (there was something about a perma ban cos of fake info)

and the last two pages...

but I havent seen any news...

whats up do we know something new?

Would be nice if someone could give a summary...

[ozfunghi]

Well, the cat's out of the bag: this, what appears to be, industry insider just confirmed that the WiiU will be LESS powerful than the PS3.

I think it might be Arkam. Get Ideaman in here!

:)

[Cheesecakebobby]

Combine Mario Paint and Wii Music. Let me turn my tablet screen into a Mario-themed version of Garage Band, make flipnote-studio style animations to play alongside my creations, etc.

I should go back to my rum then...ohh...what do I see here...there is some beer in our office...that will also do it...........

The only thing we didnt know is how much stronger...or...

What's with pple embarrassing themselves on YouTube???

[Bumhead]

Mario combining the tablet and TV screen is an interesting one.

I wonder how games will work that use both. Will they only work using the tablet and TV, and therefore won't stream entirely to the tablet? Being able to play games on the sofa independantly from the TV is a big part of the appeal of the system for me.

[AceBandage]

I'll believe the Mario game when I see it.

ROFL what is this guy 12 lol funny shit thanks for posting mate :)

[BGBW]

Ain't you afraid this guy has a backdoor into your dreams?

Why would I be afraid of that. Why wouldn't I be welcoming. What a silly question.

Wii Music! This is the real bad news for Wii U.

Take your Wii Music hate outta here.

Then how would the instruments communicate with each other?

You select the notes you want to play and the game composes an email to send to one of six Nintendo certified composers. They will then send you an MD with the recording of your notes in about 30 days.

I love the Tabasco and pills touch. XDDDD

[monome]

I don't think Super Mario 3DLand has pushed the idea of Mario on 2 screens very far, and I don't see what can be done with WiiU that couldn't be done with 3DS.

I'll believe the Mario game when I see it.

I loved Mario 3DLand, and could do with a prettier, speedier one.

Most people don't really know what MIDI is...

[M.I.S.]

make it go faster T_T

Just realised, the day of Nintendo's pre-e3 press conference is an extra bank holiday for us brits because of the Queen's Diamond jubilee.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface

Edit: forgot to add its only data, a set of instructions...

Sounds efficient.

When I was I younger, I assumed most people would do a bit of research if they didn't fully understand something. Turns out most people just seem to trust the first person that tells them something, not really caring if it's true or not.

depends. You can make some pretty awesome music software with the touchscreen in mind.

I'll believe the Mario game when I see it.

as long as it doesn't involve Miis............. god that would be awful

[BGBW]

as long as it doesn't involve Miis............. god that would be awful

The Mario Galaxies and 3D Land all involved Miis.

[DaSorcerer7]

Hmm...i'm thinking it might be NSMBMii..

[monome]

quite lightly though.

[Antioch]

If there will be a Mario Wii U game at E3 I think it's more likely to be the next EAD Tokyo game, rather than another NSMB, since we know that to be coming out for the 3DS. So I think it'd be great to get at least a glimpse of what EAD Tokyo is making as the successor to the Galaxy games.

Btw, I think Wii Music still has the potential to succeed, I think the controller lends itself far better to music than the Wii remote, tbh.

The most circumstantial evidence is that New Super Mario Bros. Mii is the Wii U game. For all we know that 3DS game is a different game or maybe a connecting game.

Btw, I think Wii Music still has the potential to succeed, I think the controller lends itself far better to music than the Wii remote, tbh.

Why not just let Jam with the Band and Rhythm Heaven take the spotlight. Wii Music is far inferior.

It has been 2 years since the last Galaxy game was released. And there were about three years between Galaxy games releases, so.. we may be closer than many think to more 3D Mario greatness. :)

...only she is there if I start Civilization with England...and its 4000 BC... :-))

She is - by far - one of my favorite opponents in Civ V. So goooood.. and scary on an ocean-heavy map!

[BGBW]

They're all different. RH is purely a rhythm game. Jam with the Band does have music creation but you need to know how to write music before hand to really get the most out of it. Wii Music allows you to play along with music in anyway you like to compose music. What it needs to a refinement option so you can make adjustment without having to play a part all over again.

[AntMurda]

Super Mario 3D Land was just released in November. An HD Mario Galaxy will also take more resources than the Wii games. New Super Mario Bros. is the next game due. There is no question about that. Whether it is for Wii U, 3DS, or both is the question.

[IceDoesntHelp]

I live in/on your baby, can I get the day off too please ):

[Rhod]

It's not *inferior*, it's very different.

The first two are robotic response games, wonderful and rewarding but where your skill comes from pattern recognition, and the relationship between that set pattern and the music. (Please don't mistake this for criticism, Band Brothers and Rhythm Heaven GBA are two of my favourite games).

Wii Music is a jazz performance simulator where the skill is in creating your own version, and the reward is not from a score or a medal but from the player's own satisfaction at their achievement. Somewhat like a time-attack means the player will re-start as soon as they are unhappy with their performance on a lap, so will a Wii Music addict repeat the same exact section of music until they have it sounding just as they like.

That's not inferior. It's just very very different and trying to put it in the same category as rhythm-action games surely creates a large amount of the misunderstanding.

[DCKing]

Super Mario 3D Land was just released in November. An HD Mario Galaxy will also take more resources than the Wii games.

That's probably why Nintendo EAD Tokyo 2 has made SMG2 and SM3DL. To free up Nintendo EAD Tokyo 1 to make Super Mario HD after they finished Super Mario Galaxy.

[lednerg]

The dots connect themselves. Mario, Music, TV...

Super Mario MegaStar Maestro

You move forward by humming into the microphone and jump by making beatbox noises. The more contrived and boring the songs are, the better your radio exposure. The end of the game takes place at Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew.

[radcliff]

It has been 2 years since the last Galaxy game was released. And there were about three years between Galaxy games releases, so.. we may be closer than many think to more 3D Mario greatness. :)

Galazy 1 was made by EAD Tokyo Group 1 in 2007. They have not developed anything on their own since (although they did collaborate with GREZZO on OOT 3D). Galaxy 2 was done by EAD Tokyo Group 2. Since then they have developed Super Mario 3D Land. I would think if a Mario is shown for Wii U at E3, it would be from EAD Tokyo Group 1, with the 2D 3DS game by EAD Group 4 (the NSMB group).

A Mario Galaxy HD game won't take more time.

Nintendo makes all it's assets above HD quality. It actually downsizes them to the resolution it needs.

There will be no extra effort, maybe even less to make an HD game for Nintendo because of how they develop.


Why do you think the Wii emulator, Dolphin can push out such hi res quality renders? Those assets already exist on the disc!!
