I'd like to come-back to the latest IdeaMan hints. Yes I'm late.A news concerning the dev kits (models, availability to developers, etc.)
Another important news: they are the mass produced dev kits.
Are you talking here about 2 different things?- One of the dev kit aspect (in comparison to the v4 ones) is... original
- Teasing part: besides possible improvement of the system power (slight to moderate though), there is at least one additional good news that come with them. It's not necessarily the obvious ones
I'll see you on the other side, Brother!Just read through today's bloodbath.
It is apparent that we have at last entered the Endgame of the E3 journey.
I really enjoy a lot of posters in this thread. There's gonna be an onslaught of trolls waiting for NintendoGAF in the coming days ahead. Please guys, don't allow their ignorance to get at you, thus contributing to the decadence of this thread/community.
This is supposed to be a light-hearted place right? Let's keep it that way, yeah?
Man, a speech like that normally isn't my style, heh.
This'll be my first E3 on GAF as a member, so I guess I am asking too much.
Hopefully I can hold on to my sanity as well.
We're just two of an awful kind, bro.
I am what I am /popeye
Everybody else is just gonna have to...
Oh, and I missed this before, so maybe you did:
#2751: a developer in Santa Monica has been showing off the Wii U version of their game to certain journalists in the area this week.
People yelled at me last thread, insisting that I have to. So I've already written up the first post information (needs a little organization) and am mostly done designing the images needed for proper presentation. Aargh, you can't imagine how annoying it is to reproduce magazine logos and classic gaming text by sight. Anyway… it's big.
There are a couple people who really wanted to do it, too. I'm really happy that the thread exploded with rage earlier today, because it means that the chances of a Seventh thread before E3 increase. I will otherwise try to think of a way to be a good neighbor to them.
Judging from my notes, this is probably the fastest a WUST has gotten to one thousand posts in a day, by a small margin. We should get IdeaMan to piss people off more often.
I'll see you on the other side, Brother!
( if we stick to our own little thread, I think those who only come in to stir-up shit will probably pay the most.)
Meh :/
Not funny ><
I'm not sure; I don't think so. To be honest, this feels a bit safer in here. Not for any nameable logical reason, mind you.. just because.Have we ever had a thread like this before in past E3's? Besides the dedicated Nintendo E3 conference thread?
Glanced at this post and thought it said "if we stick to our own little thread, I think we can play strip-poker."

So.. after the speculations end...what the Hell is next for us?
Besides this megathread, I have few other communities I'm in around GAF.
It'll be like being an orphan.
when this speculation thread no longer exists it means the console will be out already! Then we move into separate game OTs.So.. after the speculations end...what the Hell is next for us?

If the V5 devkit is labeled "mass production ready" it let the release date speculation open to a July/September scenario. As some already pointed in this thread, final devkit delivery 1 month before system release isn't an exceptional situation while here 3rd parties would have, in the worst case, 2 month of time to adapt, 4 month for a September release date target. I'm just talking from a speculative pov, I know there are others parameters like the time needed to finalise key launch titles and so on, but just taking in account devkit timeline it's something interesting to note.
I also have a question IdeaMan - sorry if you already cleared, thread moves fast >
Are you talking here about 2 different things?

About the arriving date of the mass production kits, i wouldn't use this as a proof that the system will launch rather early, maybe this time, Nintendo want to supply third-parties enough in advance from E3 for them to try to take advantage of its changes before the show, maybe they are tagged "mass production", but small revisions (like a V5.1) will come after, etc. It doesn't exclude the possibility of an earlier that we thought launch either.
Yes they are different
Basically, to spill the beans on the first mysterious line (5% of the content of my message), the dev kit color is original, and different than for the V4. I think i rarely seen such color used on a dev kit.
I don't understand, the dev kit is a different colour? Why bother doing that? Are dev kits ever indicative of the colours available upon release. Always thought they were generic boxes.Basically, to spill the beans on the first mysterious line (5% of the content of my message), the dev kit color is original, and different than for the V4.

Kinda like the Deku sprouts in the Wind Waker: the eight of us who aren't banned will part ways, to be carried along the winds of fate.We'll all disband and never see each other again.
Just remember my brethren, there will be another Nintendo console after this one. We'll all be back.
Most of us here are Americans. We thrive best when in conflict.
Sorry, we also have a tendency towards schadenning our freudes now and then. You really have displayed a very high tolerance for abuse here. When I was your age, I had a tendency to cut and run when even one person expressed displeasure at my actions.
edit: Despoilered stuff in order to reduce apparent dickholery of message.
The return of bright purple?
:O
I actually feel like it's close. But when we are like a week away I'll feel like it's a year away.Anybody else feel like E3 is further away than ever?

I don't think it will be the system "color" though

Hey, maybe i'm older than you
And i'm amazed by my skill of pacifying/zen-keeping/civil-railroading/tempering/diplomacying, i could have been harsh in my defensive answers, but i wanted peace and avoid polluting the thread. It's my moderator background
Oh sorry, i had 2 seconds of self-pride and contentment. Cut me some slack, i deserve it.

This made me LOL for some reason.
But after E3, there will be the "Wii U Fall Media Briefing Speculation Thread", duh.
Indeed, maybe it is rarely seen but nevertheless, remember the Wii "Luigi" devkit?
Indeed. That's kinda why it's important that we make it through; I wanna be comparing camping notes and stories with y'all live later on in the year. E3 could perhaps be considered the halfway point of our game; it's the part where we get sucked into the Dark World, only to find that another handful of dungeons are awaiting us!Exactly. Speculation doesn't stop at E3. In fact E3 will be just the start.
Ha, I'm happy in your general direction, kid*. My posts, if they seem like jabs, are generally never meant in a manner of poor sport, though they can often come off that way, as I take many serious things lightly.
* I'm assuming that you're young due to the vibrant enthusiasm in your posts. Obviously, you can see from my avatars that I am quite along in my years.
It's so depressing to see that after 30/35, you are considered (or even worse, forced to self-considerate you) rather old in the videogame frame. But the gaming crowd must adapt, because with the huge population that started with the Nes growing old, we'll see the videogame demography pursuing its evolution towards higher age ranges (i think the average is between 25 and 35/40 in this day and age). And the sector in its entirety (developers, medias, etc.) must adapt to that.

Know what really sucks? Being a completionist, getting older, and finding that my twitch reflexes and hand-eye coordination aren't what they used to be.It's so depressing to see that after 30/35, you are considered (or even worse, forced to self-considerate you) rather old in the videogame frame.

It's almost hereAnybody else feel like E3 is further away than ever?

Oh? Get 1500 points in your horseback archery game? Sure! Gladly!
(!)aaaaaaargh
My grandfather played the GameBoy and Game.com until he died.
Indeed! I'm expecting fresh leaks to start regularly any day now!It's almost here
