Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who thinks that 3D Land is the most bland 3D mario ever made.
In looks maybe but in technique and mechanics, it's not at all.

I thought that Nintendo always developed their gaming assets in HD for all their Wii games before scaling them down or have I been misinformed?
Well, they are building new development space (a rather large building.. there were pics of the construction site location earlier in this thread, I think), and they've gone on a recent hiring spree. I'm hoping that these are good signs to this end. I'd love to see Nintendo able to output more good games than ever before. The more they're able to establish an ecosystem independent from an industry that sometimes looks downright suicidal with its business chosen models, the better.While I believe NoJ will produce some pretty sweet looking games I remain constant in belief that they will struggle to produce titles anywhere near as efficiently as teams like Naughty Dog have.
Japanese management man. It just doesn't work on HD development. Even Capcom, one of the exceptions, takes upwards of 3 years to develop titles that aren't Monster Hunter or fighters.
Let's hope Nintendo outsource like cray.

It was interactive, which strongly insinuates that it is rendered in real time. Rotating the controller controlled the camera on the subscreen. However, Nintendo's "street view" demo worked in a similar fashion, and it was not rendered in real time. I'll take a closer look at the floor videos to see if the interactivity is limited to camera control or if there's more to it.

None so far.Are there any rumors pertaining to the moving of purchased Virtual Console and WiiWare games to the Wii U?
It wouldn't be pretty.None so far.
Surely they have to know there'd be a hellstorm of bad coverage and fan backlash if they did the unspeakable on this issue.. right? Surely they can't be that tone-deaf?

Ugh, I know. HD Pikmin could really be a beautiful showcase for Wii U's graphical muscle, but the cold fact that this was almost finished as a Wii game makes it less likely. Here's hoping, though.

(BTW.. by any chance are you RMC's MomBrain?)
More or less. Typically, objects are designed and modeled with splines and are later turned into low-poly meshes when it comes time to put them into a game. The spline models would still be available if they wanted to make high-poly meshes out of them later on. Same goes for textures, which start life as high-res drawings and are then scaled down to fit into the game.
It blows the NSMB games out of the water.

So.. I learned in another thread: journalists are already arriving in LA for pre-E3 festivities. Seems early to me, but apparently it's true: they're being given exposure to titles that'll be shown-off at E3. They do this early so that they can issue their "Best of E3" decisions, apparently.
Looks like BurntPork's prediction of leaks may not be so far off?
Even Nintendo first party games???

SML3D was my GOTY last year and is on the same level as the Galaxies, if not better.
I was just about to post some choice quotes from you yourself on this, haha!No leaks. Especially nothing Wii U related. Nothing is leaking from that. DO NOT BELIEVE.
Everyone there will sign like a million non-disclosure agreements so shit stays under wraps. Also, they only have like respected dudes on the judges panel (such as, er, Geoff and Jeff), guys who know the biz and aren't going to go renegade now.
And Nintendo don't do judges week. ...I think. Generally, I believe it's already announced games anyway.

So don't believe, folks. False alarm! We've gotta wait the full 5xx hours left!
As much as I loved SM3DL, I still thought the two Galaxy games were way better. It's my personal GOTY on the 3DS.
That sucks!That new R&D building isn't going to be finished until early 2013. So the benefits of that expansion won't be felt until 2014 at the earliest.
With concurrent development on titles for both the 3DS and Wii U beginning to occur I remain sceptical. We've been burned with droughts and delays plenty of times in the past.
Maybe, but IMO if you take away all the flash/spectacle along with the nostalgic awesome and amazing soundtrack (bare with me here), I think SML3D is a better overall platformer.
Agree. I really appreciate their apparent understanding that there are millions of us out here who love the drama of a good show, the rush of a shocking reveal, etc. This is like waiting for Santa and truly not kowing what he's going to get you; it's the closest thing that we gaming adults have to that old childlike sensation, I think.I assumed everyone was familiar with judges week stuff, haha. Didn't want to panic anyone :lol
It reminds me though, Nintendo are still madly in love with E3 as a PR thing and it's great. Activision and Rockstar- industry giants- have basically pulled out forever, barring CoD demos at the MSCONF, more and more publishers are using VGAs, Game Informer exclusives and private events for game reveals, many publishers use the build-up for the show as much as the show itself... but Nintendo still love E3 week. They hold everything for that, no-one gets a look-in before then.
It's cool. Nostalgic, even. It'd be a fucking nightmare if everyone loved E3 so much still, but as it is it's sweet that Nintendo still waits for the event to blow its load.

The Galaxy games just had much more variety in design though for me.
You were doing something new every area.
You could argue that about 3D Land but they were mostly concepts we were familiar with.
Then again, maybe if they had all the fanciness, it would have given them the guise of being completely fresh, not sure.
I think Pikmin'll look like this:
you had to press 'b' to continue whenever the bird landed, also when at the fish part. There was one YouTube of this at the pond, where you could see the fish animation routine cycle severl times before the player hit b to continue.

That specific shot isn't too far-fetched, extreme AA aside.on the Wii 15 at the rate nintendo is going
Pretty much what Mr. Poo said.
The only thing that bothered me about SM3DL was collecting three coins. I'm pretty OCD about it and I can't move onto the next stage until I get the coins in the previous stage. Other than that I was fine with everything else.

Outta curiosity, there's no success on user mods for that game (or any other 3DS game) yet, right?
One of the things I very much loved about NSMBW was the custom user levels.
Wii U games top out at 320p confirmed.And it's only 320p, so there's the benefit of extra performance from rendering at a lower resolution.
It wouldn't be far-fetched even for a supercharged 360...We are getting a supercharged 360 for the most part it seems as more and more finalized component details come out. I can already see the marketing from Sony and MS and Nintendo acting befuddled as to why the core gamer doesnt give a shit. If this was the 80s where marketing went for blood Nintendo would be so royally screwed
That's why I said "3D Mario."
But at least NSMB Wii had amazing level design. There weren't many moments in 3D Land that really stuck out to me as having top tier platforming level design.
Ehh.. no biggie. I think third parties would be hesitant even if the U is on par with the others. Anything that we get from them that's A or AA or more, I'll regard as a pleasant surprise. With even "just" a souped-up 360, first-party stuff is going to be gorgeous.We are getting a supercharged 360 for the most part it seems as more and more finalized component details come out.

Let me clarify. This is great news for Nintendo franchises. HD has finally come but its jack squat for 3rd parties and core gamers

The thing that just bugs me is I know the tablet outside of a few exceptions will be treated like a gimmick for pointless things like maps. I mean it will be nice to have the map off the screen and such but unlike the wiimote which only took like 6 bucks from the consoles budget the padlet is taking a much larger chunk that impacts system power.
So if the tablet gets underutilized that means alot of wasted console manufacturing budget
