AMD - Power of the console.
Nintendo - Wisdom that masterminded the console.
Crytek - Courage to venture out and conquer the new console.
The triforce pieces themselves align with each company's role.
THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT MAAAN

So I searched for Wii U on Google News and apparently there's a new rumor about it launching at $299, €299, and ¥20,000. Some site I never heard of (WiiUDaily) says it's from "the same source that brought us the Wii U system specs rumor."
Take that as you will.

20,000yen is 5,000 cheaper than the Vita is now and what the 3DS and Wii were at launch.
Where'd I leave my salt...
Yeah, that was the part that stuck out for me as well, which is why I included it. The headlines just say Wii U at $299, and that's fairly believable.
EDIT: Also, this was the same source that told them it would be 768MB, which I'm pretty sure has been debunked, at least unofficially... correct?
I don't think I would expect Miyamoto's IP at launch, but we don't know how long he's been working on it, maybe it's been in development a long time with the intention of starting a new gen with it. One question I've asked many times is how many exclusives is reasonable to expect at launch? I have been thru many launches, but I still don't know what to expect, there will obviously be a lot of multiplat and ports, but how may Wii U exclusives in the launch window? Anyone care to take some guesses?
I'd say 2 or 3 at best.
Now if you'll excuse me, looking up Western Nintendo games has given me the urge to weep openly over the fact that it's been over 10 years since I have been able to legitimately play Tetrisphere.
"In November 2011, Silicon Knights Knights' claimed they wanted to focus on one of their most requested titles for the next generation of consoles. This combined with the fact Nintendo had trademarked the title once again, spawned rumours that another Eternal Darkness game would be made as a launch title for the Wii U."
AMD + Nintendo + Crytek + Silicon Knights = CryEngine 3 run Eternal Darkness II.
I can dream.
Although, CryEngine would be one niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice engine for ED.

CryEngine Wave Race would be all the launch title I need

The one game that could get me to invest in a non-JP Wii U system in 2012.
I would lose it if that happened, a beautiful HD Wave Race would be epic.

Everyone forgetting the Wii was deign to set them apart from other, and it work just in the wrong way and devs just work on the twins
Big N did miss judge it, If they didn't set about doing that I'am sure they would had come up with with something closer to 360
Wii was a one off a experiment that devs did take up, Wii U more in line to what we use to from them

If true, that's shocking.

tactile means: "perceptible to the touch"
Unless he means the difference of touching a flat screen to a button. What else could he mean by that?
link to twiit?
They are!!
Only the US part of the company has had to close the doors.
The German office is still open and working.
Eventhough they said they will release something they have not till now or nothing that I remember.
BUT Factor 5 is alive....more or less
i think the vita sticks are way worse than the circle pads Nintendo is using, too fragile and small for my tastes...
They still have that very informative website they started back in 1768.
I wanted to ask the same thing. The only tweet I saw was the Durango one.
No it doesn't. It shows that games that involve children hanging themselves, excrement based attacks and Biblical satire are likely to be rated AO and therefore not going to be licensed by any of the 3 console makers.
Mmm... IF PSN & Xboxlive doesn't sell it would it mean the same thing ? However I don't think this case can be used as an indication of... well, I don't know of what. It doesn't show a good sign of what ?
As in they hadn't seen the 'E3 build' of the controller.
Obviously they'd have been working with protoype dev kits that would provide the exact same functionality as a 'controller with a screen'.
Would love to see what those dev units would look like though.

Exactly. I dunno about Microsoft, but neither Sony nor Nintendo will license AO (Adults Only) games for their consoles.

Probably an IPad with a split CCP soldered on the left and right
What, how and why? I don't understand the context here. What does the one say about the other?

Binding of Isaac, fun or not, is sophomoric Newgrounds Flash game garbage as far as narrative goes. I'm not surprised in the slightest Nintendo declined. I would have, too, albeit for different reasons. (The reason being "this is sophomoric Newgrounds Flash game material and makes us look bad.")
What the hell? Did they think this had a chance in hell of getting through, or were they just trolling?

Unfortunately while their technical skills were always top notch, Factor 5's gameplay got worse with every single game they made.
i don't care about the Crytek nor CryEngine 3 part, but Eternal Darkness II - sign me in.
The US team was the one which developed the games, the German office only consisted out of a few members. It was only said that they were the responsible for everything as they could've lost the rights to franchises such as Turrican during insolvency.
Factor 5 GmbH (Germany) lingered around for a bit but also shut down. They are now FactorY and work together with TechDevils and TouchFactor, both formed by former F5 employees.

Yeah, because that's the same thing as controlling a naked kid who uses his own excrement and urine to attack, with special attacks that involve hanging himself or impaling his head with coat hangers, and makes fun of religions...
Is there a general consensus on the game?
All that 'contentious' schtick sounds a bit... forced. Gratutitous?
Sounds boring, tbh.
But AO games were on console before- (some more on Win/MAC)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Xbox/PS2
Thrill Kill PS/PSone
The Joy Of Sex CDI

Ugh, leave the BoI debate out of here please.
Anyone that thinks that Nintendo rejecting the game means anything is dense.
The first was rated AO AFTER release (because of a mod that no one but a few people could use.
The second never released in stores and could only be found via emulators.
And pretty sure JoS was out before the ESRB...

Gta got the ao after the hot coffe affair, thrill kill has never seen daylight on console, and joy of sex.....well, it's sex in america. Shit doesn't fly
Edit: AAAAACEEEEEE! *RAISES FIST*
Yes, you are right. I'm sorry. Haven't noticed that they also shut down in January last year.
Wow, and I was still hoping all the time...

Note that GTA was pulled from shelves the moment it (stupidly) got re-rated to be AO after the game got hacked to unlock the disabled sex minigame. And of course since that game shipped as just M, and then got rereleased as M after they removed the disabled minigame, it's not the same thing as the company knowingly licensing an AO game for distribution on their console. And I don't think XBox got the game until the disabled minigame was removed from the disc.
Lol you've been beaten several times.
