Wii U Speculation thread IV: Photoshop rumors and image memes

What a weird double negative statement, but most certainly unintentional.
The next few months are going to go really fast for me, so I'm going to try to refrain from getting drawn into any obnoxious debates over third party support until we get a better picture what is and isn't true. *shrugs*

What possible benefit can result from doing this? Massive E3 blow out this year!

I'm sure Wii U will have an impressive line up of games but I also think it will be missing a lot of third party games. We can go on and on about this, but it doesn't bode well right now. Things can change if Wii U is successful. Right now it looks like they will primarily be depending on first party games and the hope that Wii purchasers upgrade to Wii U. If they don't I predict it will be GC all over again.
It's not just the fact that devs didn't have enough time to put their games on Wii U. It's the fact that it's pretty much garaunteed to be weaker than Durango and Orbius. Couple this with Nintendo's past problems with third party support and it's likely they won't get the games again. I'll still get a Wii U for Nintendo games, but I think them turning things around with third parties may be a lot harder than some think. They've been trying desparately since N64 to fix this, and for every console we've been given excuses. Well, here they are. The excuses are starting once again.
yes which we know absolutely nothing about, good job
One of the teaser for the upcoming Call of Duty game
It shows a drone controlled by a tablet, with a bird eye view.
It's really smelling Wii U padlet when we're viewing this.

Thanks. I guess there is no worldwide numbers for it?
I'd rather say "everyone" instead
That comment in the article is just one guy's opinion.I think Alberto or whoever was hinting at TS4 said it was multiplat.
The whole thing is CG... like, cheap monster movie sequels cheap CG.
But yeah, this thing uses a goddamn tablet. Perfect for the Wii U, HEH, ACTIVISION!?

I think he's just speculating reasons why Crytek might not be supporting Wii U. There's always the potential that the Nintendo Network won't be fully fledged.
I think it will be, but that's just a hunch. They seem to have been heading in the right direction for a while now.

I warned against assuming that every unannounced third party game was a lock for WiiU. Though the game doesn't look that great one still has to wonder about the third party support nintendo has been able to muster.

I hope the success of Harvest Moon on the 3DS makes Marvelous decide to pump one out for the wiiU earlier in the lifecycle (as in first year to 1.5 year) rather than later. Especially considering how damn long Natsume takes to localize shit. Always 1 to 1.5 years it takes em.

guys I have a theory every time ideaman post a news clip and points at wiiu possibilities he is giving insider hints :3
in other words, he's never allowed to post again unless he's giving a hint. lol
Posts like these are why specialguy did that hit-n-run lol.
The Wii U is going to have better third party support than the Wii but a far cry from its competitors.
As wsippel and IdeaMan said, it's (currently, at least) not a hardware issue.

I understand where you're coming from, but this is CoD we're talking about. If they're willing to make Wii versions, it's obvious they will make Wii U versions.
It will come out on everything. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some version of it that hits the iOS devices.

What? Do you have a link? I'd be shocked if it wasn't multiplatform.

I'm remaining calm until E3. Nintendo really has a lot to prove. This silence could back fire so hard.

His source is a star that he wished upon.
it had to be posted. it had to be. don't go in that thread trying to explain the situation because most people won't believe you, this is the position Nintendo has put themselves in by being so quiet about news for this thing, so when something comes out, be it good or bad, it's going to be newsworthy. i think Nintendo has fucked up by being this quiet for so long, especially if they fail to produce during E3. even if they do show up at e3, having this much bad press is not a good look imo
We know Zen Studios will make a Marvel Pinball version for the Wii U, here's some precisions from the creative director Neil Sorens
(btw, again an info coming from a spanish source. My fellow Frenchmen (& former colleagues), what are you waiting to CREATE through interviews & investigations, some interesting news ? It's been months since i've not read exclusive content from you ! It's a shame !)
Yes, please, Nintendo, lend them your IP for awesome themed pinball tables !
The pinball displayed on the padlet, and you use its triggers ? A virtual pinball with a first-person view from the ball displayed on the TV, and you have to move in your living room from left to right, holding the screen in front of it to use the flippers ? (just imagine the scene, lol).

Absolutely ! HEH ACTIVISION!?
For those that read the article but didn't watch the video, the video interview is much more balanced and he expands on the statement "Not a fat chance". He goes on to say that the launch platforms are PC and consoles and he doesn't think "it's in the cards to do a Wii U version of it".

Does anybody give a shit about this random third party support? No disrespect to you IdeaMan but if that's what nintendo has to show after a year's worth of silence that would be laughable.
Wonderful.

If they did this, there would be no more un-biased reviews of Nintendo games. Terrible idea. All the sites they didn't give the cold shoulder to would be told "You only gave this game a good score because Nintendo invited you to their E3 conference."
Not to this extent my little smiles
I'm writing some hints, yes, some of them have been overlooked (in thread 3 and recently in thread 4), but i'll reveal all that i know until E3 so it's not a big problem.
Yup. It's the same excuse essentially compared to the ones that Crystal Dynamics and Hideo Kojima used.
HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH!?

"Wii U is kind of a special case," said the Crysis 3 creator. "The way the player interacts with the device is very different than any other device out there. So if I were to make a game for the Wii U, it would have to be a unique game."
Even then, the Crysis engine is still compatible with the Wii U, says the developer. The issue isn't with the game's engine, but rather what seems to be the developer's desire to create a unique title centered on the Wii U's capabilities. That's good to know, because the last thing we need is a wacky Wii U port of what could be a great game on other consoles. If the developers want to tinker around with the upcoming Nintendo console's hardware to deliver an intriguing and unique game, that's a much better idea than a port.

Sorry. Had to do it.
Do you refer to all these indie/small studios news that have been relayed here ? In that case, after daily reading & analyzing of the market, i'm in the camp that believe buzz-making and good apps & "little" games from these companies may surely have a bigger impact than classic "ambitious" retail software for the long-term viability and the success of Wii U. It's important news. But i understand that as old school gamers, some of you want more

The only 3rd part devs I give a shit about, not including the ones that will OBVIOUSLY support with the WiiU are Kojima, Square-Enix, FromSoftware.
Everyone else can do what they want.

By the way this source is also claiming that Nintendo is trying to cut production costs...
"Cutting production costs to maximize profits is Nintendo's main concern with the Wii U," said a source in an interview with Forget the Box. "There is a bigger focus on downloadable content, applications, video content, digital distribution, and services to create a stream of revenue."

I dont quite understand. ~200 million sellers? I assume that this is a typo for ~20 million, but which 3rd party game sold that much on the Wii? I only see 1st party games that sold 20 million+.
EDIT: Nevermind, was told that it was 200 games that had sold over a million copies.
Let's say Bioware, just when they'll finally be able to port their next sci-fi western RPG to a Nintendo console, stop the development of their upcoming project, and try an entry in the omelette & baked alaska market, with Shepard shaped scrambled-eggs, would you REALLY don't give a shit about that ?

Hmm, gonna have to mull this one over for a couple weeks.
He means there are 200 games that are million sellers.
