Support NeoGAF

[ffdgh]

yeah... wii....u was a bit of a long WAT moment.

 

[disap.ed]

Sony invented Metro UI

 

[frostbyte]

you go on the website and register the games you purchased because each game has a card with a code you can type in to register your games and get the coins (points)

after you play the game you can get a survey done for that game for an extra 10 coins

then you can spend your coins on Nintendo stuff even some free eshop downloads it seems

Wow, I've never really known this. This is amazing, it's like freebies with your purchase. So going to do this when I get my 3DS.

Microsofts E3 is going to be interesting. Probably Kinect madness with the new console at the end.

I'm really looking forward on how they're going to present this new console. They've got Kinect 2.0 which'll probably prove to be even more popular with the casuals. However, game wise, they have less exclusives than Sony or Nintendo. Gears of War, Fable, Forza, Halo. Those are arguably the biggest ones and one of them is in decline, while another's trilogy has just ended. I just don't see how Microsoft can differentiate their console enough with those few exclusives and Kinect 2.0. Unless Kinect 2.0 is a true #gamechanger.

Spoiler

doubt it.

Not to mention the rumours about the weaker Xbox. I don't want to be at GAF if it turns out to be true and betrayaltons and meltdowns are abound.

edit: holy crap this thread fast. i really shouldn't be surprised.

Except the PSX menu looked like this

or

depending on the firmware version.

Though maybe that PSX had a different menu than a standard PSX, dunno about that.

brb vomiting.

Just a little off topic, but I loooooooove the Gamecube's main menu. So soothing.

 

[Nibel]

I don't really care if the name does not change as long as it has plenty of power and maybe the box is redesigned

everyone seems to know the name WiiU by now anyway

Nah, just tech interested people.

qubic!

wasn't there something about the startup sound beeing a slower version of something?

It's the famicom disk system start-up noise!

eww. How did this pass QA? This is why I prefer simplistic text menus over this revolting UI.

[quote="Nibel, post: 35944781"]Nope, bro.

They added a 3 to the DS brand - 3DS - and people thought that this is just another DS upgrade.

Even though the Wii name is an important brand, I think that they should let it go. They should give this console more identity.

I will never forget the moment where Reggie announced its name. I was prepared for everything but not Wii U :lol[/QUOTE]

Yep totally agree. Wii carries a stigma among gamers, good or bad. and Wii U is just outright horrible.

I could get used to it but, seriously, name change plz.

[quote="Nibel, post: 35944834"]Nah, just tech interested people.[/QUOTE]

This is one time where Nintendo's absolute silence could work for changing the name. Hardly anyone outside of tech interested people remembers what the Wii U is after last E3 since there's been almost no info on it.

 

[wsippel]

Indeed, that PSX (the one actually named "PSX") uses XMB:

 

[ThankeeSai]

I just wonder...

will Nintendo straight up talk about Wii U on E3 or will they do their old cocktease game.

New Games we know about, some interesting 3DS games, sales figuers, wii ain't no dead, more sale stuff, kid icarus for 20 min., new audience, blah, blah, blah.....oh and...: WII U!

I'm really hoping they throw all of their weight behind the Wii U and get straight to the point at the beginning of the conference.

The reality of it is, it'll probably pan out exactly as you said.

Nintendo disk system

Edit: Beaten

 

[Nibel]

The Gamecube OS was great. I loved how you could call it at startup of any game by a few button presses.

They really nailed the design.

yeah! thats it! thanks!

Cool, I honestly didn't know about that Now I do, thanks!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

let there be ONE minor leak (hardware pic from a foxconn worker) and we hit critical post mass in no time.

that would just be new news new thread stuff

news does not move this thread as much as little leaks :hint hint:

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Nintendo disk system

Edit: Beaten

nintendo has so many freaken logos

this is why we cannot keep a brand on a console for more than a single generation

I liked GameCube

 

[MarkusRJR]

yeah! thats it! thanks!

This reminds me how I used to have a ton of friends who were hardcore Nintendo fans back in the GC era. They were salivating over any info on the Wii, and when it came out they went all anti-nintendo and were in love with the the Xbox 360. Nintendo really needs to go with a new name if they want to avoid the negative connotations provided with the "Wii" name. These days I'd doubt you would see a fan-made video like that. :/

 

[Nibel]

Yeah, but because of its purple color I remember some saying that it is a kiddie console.

Until RE4 came out.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Wii U is really very strange it was amusing to see Reggie standing there trying to pull that name out like it was impressive

might as well have said

Wii New
Wii Nintendo

WIN

 

[frostbyte]

I don't think people calling Nintendo systems a kiddie console ever stopped, to be honest.

 

[ffdgh]

freaking regenerators........

It stopped with the Wii.

Now they create casual consoles :lol

broken heart and smashed honor. they will never come back!

EVEN WORSE!!!!

there was already many pages calling the WiiU's pad a fisher price toy

yupp, just jump into the "lolololol wii u pad scree is the loezt rez EVAR!"-thread and cry!

 

[Nibel]

Wonder why there is no thread about the camera resolution yet :lol

It's just as vague.

 

[ffdgh]

eh if anything their redeeming moment was their zelda orchestra opening.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

It's just as vague.

this would be a justified complaint not the screen because the 3DS camera yuk

they really need to step up a bit on the camera this time

i know you are kidding, but.... if they put in that shitty VGA cam again i'm gonna smash a kitty with that pad!

DID YOU HEAR ME IWATA!?? A KITTY!!!!

 

[ffdgh]

yeah a camera that atlease works in semi lit places would be nice.

 

[frostbyte]

exactly. that camera is just so piss bad.

I wonder what deserted warehouse Nintendo found it from

Joking aside, from the video chat portion of the E3 Wii U trailer, the camera seems ok. Not amazing but it does its job and doesn't make us puke like the 3DS one does. Anyone care to venture what's the camera rez? 480p?

also,


am i the only one who thinks that the logo looks like hellish tacked on?

"hey you! yeah you! janitor dude! i need a logo to show of our new console tommorow!"

"but i'm a janitor. i have no clue wha..."

"SHUT UP! DO A LOGO!"

"ok! what's that thing called?!"

"WII U! WII U! FASTER JANITOR GUY!!!!!"

"OK! WII U.....hmmm......."

Nintendo's presentation was pretty clearly done at the last minute, probably to counteract all the leaks and rumours swirling from a certain French company. And you could tell Reggie hadn't practiced enough in front of the mirror since he made so many mistakes

The logo looks like a vitality sensor

Wonder if we're ever going to see that again. Especially with Valve's stated interest in that technology.

...NINTENDO X VALVE GAME CONFIRMED?

That's a PS1, he's talking about the device actually called PSX.

He did a fine job at least I know wouldn't :/ I suck at public speaking

[Sardello]

It would be great if each achievement in a game, will unlock Mii's accessories and other cool stuff

 

[frostbyte]

He's usually 100% A-OK. It's just funny he made a few more mistakes than usual.

I suck at public speaking too

Depends on how much info get between now and then. Personally I believe this will be our last.

MAKE IT COUNT, PEOPLE

it would be awesome a fouth thread with a title like:

"Wii U Speculation Thread 4: Because Nintendo never gets a new thread, but just reharshes of old ones"

I hope Nintendo packs in interactive demos for various engines on the Wii U...why the fuck not.

Well, The "U" part looks like the tablet or the tablet screen being touched by a large finger, so I'd say it's pretty good for what it is.
Unfortunately, what it is is a logo for a rather uninspired name.

Yes, I think some people are taking the top ten posters in the thread race very seriously.
