But most of those ports would probably come along late, weeks or months late which would do little to draw the core gamers. I could maybe imagine Resident Evil 6 coming along with the PC version because that's a proven franchise on Nintendo consoles, but I wouldn't be surprised if none of those other games ever made it to the Wii U. Although, I don't think the mature content is enough reason to keep Far Cry 3 away from the Wii U. Just look at Zombie U.

I don' see why Teh Boobies would be any reason to not allow FC3 on Wii U, that's just silly.

This ain't the early 90s anymore.

With most of the launch lineup coming from Ubisoft they would be crazy to release another game during this timeframe. I expect Far Cry 3 to come eventually.

Isn't the Wii U getting ports of 'mature' games e.g. Mass Effect 3 anyway?

Yeah, but third-parties are obviously playing it safe by offering old ports of successful games on other platforms. They can take a risk by porting Batman and Mass Effect as "test" games for Wii U and they likely won't do much of a marketing push for em. Nintendo stepped in to publish Ninja Gaiden 3 while Team Ninja seemingly wastes its time trying to fix a fundamentally dull game... bad call.
 
Anybody think we should open a self-help group-thread in preparation of Sep 13 where we tell everyone to keep calm, expect no megatons and overall be realistic about what's gonna go down followed by some mild meditation and exercise? I think that would help.

The OP should include a gif of Nintendoland, then it cuts to those bored video game journalists.

OP might want to add Gearbox Studios to the list as well. While the developer is bringing Aliens: Colonial Marines to Wii U and seems to want to support Wii U in the future, its publisher wants to wait and see how well Aliens does before committing any more support to Wii U.

Blind circle-jerking? Sounds....dangerous.
Did someone say "jerking"?

Nintendo is best friends with Tecmo now, I think it's safe to say these times are now over even for them :lol (Well, there still was this ,,controversy'' over that meat boy team game not allowed in WiiWare or something)

Depending on how the conference goes down you could even do a Chrono Trigger bad ending segment after that, pick a few choice hype posts and bring it all down with "But_The_Future_Refused_To_Change.jpg."

Oh how I can't wait for Wii U Daily to be banned.

Are you in negotiations with the other powers that be?

Frankly in a way they are worse than that other Nintendo site- they merely report on bogus rumors. Wii Daily just makes them up to get clicks.

Yea though nobody was talking about the M-rating in itself, it was strictly about Far Cry 3's boobie scene. At least I hope so because otherwise I really don't know how someone could assume such arcane practices to still be in place especially after MadWorld, House of the Dead Overkill, No More Heroes and Manhunt 2 on the Wii.

Yea but that was simply because The Binding of Isaac features a very strong (anti-) religious content. And the latest on that is by the way that it's a 50/50 chance of possibly still happening (eShop release).

While you're at it, ban the other Wiiu sites too :)

and you please finally read your PM and fix the Miiverse thing in your OP :)

Just to go a little of topic (will return to banana/blind/circle jerk speculation shortly) Do we know what version of HDMI Wii u has?

Is there any reason it won't support the lastest? Besides having no use for it features, but Iwata already said 3D was possible and I'm guessing HMDI 1.4a is the simplest way.


For this Sept Conf, just tease us with more Zelda tech demo and I'll preorder.
 
I hope RE 6 gets announced next week. If not, I will have to buy the 360 version.

I keep on telling myself that after the abomination that was 5 that I'm not going to buy it but I know I will anyway. I love the franchise lol. I'm hoping they're going to add a Genesis Scanner like the one in Revelations, the controller is made for it.

I'm still surprised we can still post working links.

Btw, looking at the 3DS before launch Nintendo held two presentations: one in september and one in january. The September one was for Japan, in which they announed a couple of games; Resident Evil the Mercenaries 3D, Mega Man Legends 3, (;_;) Tales of the Abyss, Ace Combat...

Have we got any confirmation on how many threads per core?

I'm not changing anything until Sep conference :)
 
So what negative comment did Bethesda make?

Edit: Never mind, found the thread, so lame. I officially give up on comparable third party Nintendo support. Oh well, would've been buggy anyways.
 
i will never get this "shitty sites getting banned"-thing. as long they are not full of spam or trojan horses i don´t have a problem with them.

If most of their content is out and and out lies (Wii U Net Daily being a particularly heinous example because they make it all up whereas GNintendo simply just doesn't care as long as they can link it to a message board post), then yes, they shouldn't be allowed to be discussed here. It lowers the quality of discussion and makes us more akin to hobos fighting over a dogtreat that looks like a banana.

When do we get to ban fox news? ;)
 
What I don't get about Wii U Daily's Bioshock rumor is that they posted it several days after TT's earnings call. Didn't they find it odd that no one else was reporting on Bioshock for the Wii U?

are we not grownup enough to handle links in the rightful way?

Dude, Neogaf......

The point of banning sites is that when these sites post false rumors, mny members get into an argument and pick sides over a rumor that was just made up on the spot for hits. It leads to thread derailments and massive bans, both of which, are a pain in the ass for mods to handle, mods that have their own real lives to deal with and do this mod job in their spare time. A simple banning of a bs site avoids much frustration, anger, pointless arguments, and unnecessary bannings all while keeping the discussion quality high.
