The Wii U Speculation Thread V: The Final Frontier

Not open for further replies.
I think they might believe so. They've made reference to "The Next Wii Sports"-like title, so something tells me they're feeling pretty confident.

Note that it's Wii Sports Like.
Not Wii Sports.
Iwata made it very clear that it was not going to be another Wii Sports.
Rather, it's a title that will appeal to and attract a larger audience.
 
I actually had more fun playing NSMBWii than Galaxy. Galaxy is a fantastic series but NSMBWii left more of a mark on me with crazy level designs and inclusion of multiplayer. 4 player 2D Multiplayer kept a permanent smile on my face.

I used to think the Galaxy games were easily better but I have come to the conclusion that they are more exciting to me but that I see both games as equal quality, maybe even an edge to New Super Mario Brothers Wii(2D platformers done right are tough to beat).

Sadly, I have never played multiplayer New Super Mario Brothers.

As in "Heathcliff"
I am expecting a portion of the show to be about Wii U - 3DS compatibility games. (New Super Mario Bros, Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing?)

Would also love to see Stage Debut come back for the Wii U. We have all the pieces.

Wait what? I wouldn't expect Super Smash Bros... They just started developing the games.


So, I would bank on Wii U Sport. To MightyPoo, Multiplayer in NSMB is annoying but a lot of fun. Too many suicides. (Sorta)
 
I want another Four Swords Adventures. Especially if I can play with three of y'all. Imagine playing marathon sessions on Saturday nights.. good times ahead!

This would be really awesome.

With voicechat capabilities and videochat capabilities, they could really pull off a 4 Swords online game well.

Too bad I doubt they will.

I'm hoping that this time around there will be online multiplayer, with voice chat, so that GAF teams can join up for adventures through the Mario universe. The YouTube videos would be glorious.

That would be insane fun without a doubt. I'd buy that without thinking twice without a doubt.

That is an absurd amount of RAM for a console OS. I don't know what they could possibly be using all of that 512 megs for if they are truly going to be using all of that when the system launches. The only thing I can think of would be if they are really going through with that rumor last year about being able to watch your friend's games on your controller while you play your own game.

Refresher for those who forget:

I wouldn't be surprised if Ideaman's thread will basically confirm this info. It's been a while since we talked about some of the more impressive streaming ideas and the overall theme of project cafe as a gaming platform, but we have definitely talked about it.

Hmm. The music alone puts Super Mario Galaxy on top. Oh god, the music..

Only once for me, and it was all too short. :/
 
Media: Wii U will FAIL!!!

Iwata: "Menacing look followed by hair flip" 総支配するための準備..... "Calls Reggie & Miyamoto" Let's fuck em up..... Nintendo style.

I remember reading this article last year and some of the ideas presented just sound too awesome to not include if you're going to pack a controller with a screen with your system.

The revealing of what nintendo has up its sleeve in the os and online areas are what has me excited for E3 more than anything else at this point.

We can have a window run in 512 ram xD
 
I look forward to the next Wii Sports title. Loved the first two & will buy the next without a second thought.

As others are saying, when they said "The Next Wii Sports" they meant it in the same way as "The Next Mario 64" or "The Next Pictochat". An app that shows off the new capabilities of a system so that consumers can better appreciate it.

I've made my mind up on gaming media. For E3 week, I'll make an exception and look at what goofiness some of these sites come-up with for commentary. Hell, I might have to come-up with some sort of award for dumbest comment. :)

Yes, I want to play with you all.

I loved NSMB Wii multiplayer, but I got too good for all of my friends. It feels kinda bad when you have 99 lives and they're stuck getting continues. Oh well, I'm just glad I got to play it.

What would be the best way to watch the conference on iOS? Unfortunately, that'll probably be the only way I can watch it at that time.

E3.nintendo.com?
Game trailers?

Tom we're one in the Same and I'm not ashamed to ask that you be my first Wii U Gaf friend.

I like the music in the Galaxy games but while I won't think for others, I have some hunch that some are blinded(ears-wise) by the technical nature of it and impact(orchestration) over the actual melodies of the tunes(which aren't bad but I can't remember as many of them as the old games' music).

I really like the tune in that one Galaxy where you hit buttons and it's like a wood surface, it's really quirky and catchy.

I'd be happy to accept! Heck, we can make the search for Dumbest Media Comment a joint effort, haha!

I still listen to the soundtrack on an almost-daily basis. Blissful.. :p

I'm in since I have U-verse I can watch G4TV while streaming Gametrailers to my laptop then I have to go back and read through IGN live streams.....

You do know that once we go down this rabbit hole there is no turning back....

No prob! I took Tuesday and Wednesday off so that I could have this type of fun.

Is it strange at all listening to the music away from the gameplay???

Like a different vibe???

Maybe you appreciate it more because you aren't distracted platforming like a fiend while hearing it or maybe it's not as cool, not sure.
 
Isn't the 3DS game actually called Mirror of Fate?

I listen to it while at work. Sometimes I have to do data manipulation after I'm done scanning a patient, and the soothing piano music is really great for setting a relaxed mood. Makes work very pleasant.

For the faster tracks, I sometimes listen to them when I'm on my bicycle or motorcycle. Really, really fun!
(and don't worry.. I can hear my surroundings easily!)

I can see how the vibe would be different. The stress of getting to a shine is gone, so I can relax and appreciate the music for itself.

I'm out of school for the summer (College not high school) so I have a LOT of time on my hands.

"Girl, lemme grab my condom from my wallet..."

*drops Wii U Streetpass thing*

"WTF is that? A tomagatchi???! We're done. You nerd!"

I got 3 phone numbers in one day because of playing a Tamagotchi on my phone while riding the bus #NerdsruletheEarth
