Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Iwata: and before we head off today we have one final announcement for the Nintendo Wii U

I wish they're also considering licensing Dolby 5.1 for future games. I can't afford a Wii U if I also need to get a new home theater system.

Basically.

100% trickle

one game a week

for a while

then they'll forget about it for months at a time

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

Seriously, they have to cut this shit out. We're lucky to get one VC game a week on the 3DS- this can't happen again for the Wii U. Seeing as how there's already a huge catalogue of stuff available on the Wii, I really hope they just let you access that same stuff from the Wii U. I can't deal with the trickle again.

Yeah.

Retro Studio's game is probably:

- Stylized instead of "realistic" ...not like Naughty Dog's games

- Has "high quality, hand painted 2D texture maps with 3D geometry"

- A game with "bosses"

- Has ambient effects / environmental effects / weather effects / cinematic cutscenes

As long as it's not a 2D platformer. I'm completely saturated on Nintendo-style 2D platformers. I'd take a 4th Metroid Prime over that any day and I'm not even all that crazy about a 4th Metroid Prime.

If Retro is going to make Metroid, let it be different than Prime. We wouldn't accept anything less from Mario or Zelda.

Brought this up in another thread:

This probably wouldn't be so bad if, you know, Nintendo released Gameboy games on the virtual console.

Since October 26, 2012, North American Virtual Console releases have been:

Kirby's Star Stacker (GB) on January 17 2013 (lol this came out today? wtf?)
Wario Land II (GBC) on December 20 2012

AND THAT'S IT

It's pathetic.

Where does that leave them?

The Wii VC was grueling because there were so many games they had to emulate, but with the 3DS, they're only really emulating 1 system, right? So even if they go slower, they should still be farther along by now, right?

You mean 2 years from now if they released everything you wanted, it will have been too late, because it passed your "break time?"
No.I wanna see something of real substance pronto.
I have the lowest levels of interest for a new console ever in my life with this.The lineup is comical with the near future not really great overall.For my liking and my interests.Im not playing their game of buy now wait to play later.Too many other things I can spend my money on and enjoy far more.Hope and pearl clutching shouldnt go hand n hand with this shit.

I want to see more 1st party developed eShop titles for 3DS and WiiU. Though other devs are bringing in the heat on that end too. I definitely can't wait to see if Nintendo talks about releasing an original eShop title for WiiU.

Heavy hitters aside, how about wave race or mario golf? Both were awesome on gamecube. Hasnt been a new wave race in 12 years.
 
This is a really random thought, but all this talk about Smash Bros U and Bayonetta 2 has lead me to think about the possibility of Bayonetta being a character in the next Smash Bros. I'm sure it's been already discussed before, but I just realized now how there is actually some good potential of it actually occurring..

More on topic to the ND, I'm excited for waking up and enjoying breakfast while having my mind blown by all of the bombs Iwata is going to drop!

"Lead artist of Epic Mickey"?? Lol im sure that pisses some people off, what with all the changing from the dark awesome shit to the considerably less awesome, kind of barren wii shit.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
okay so going by what has been discussed over the last few pages the following is looking likely

- Retro's game shown, either Metroid or Zelda.
- Yoshi's Island: Wii U.
- Monolith's project, which is a next gen remake of Mother.
- Resident Evil 2 remake.
- GCN virtual console running at HD resolution, plus GamePad support.
- Temporary GTAV exclusivity.

Wasn't Retro supposed to be working on a FPS going by past job listings too? or was that mere speculation?

Hand painted textures is just meaning that they are textures created from scratch rather than photos or what have you. Wouldn't read much into that.

I doubt they'll work on a quality
for their own standards tho
eShop title if they know they can bank on it at retail
if we get those, they'll probably be low budget, quick cash.

These are what I expect, the rest are just too good to be true :(

Edit: Just bolded Monolith.

The rest I can't bring myself to expect for tomorrow's reveals.

I'm holding you personally responsible if some of these don't happen!
 
Likewise. Whether it's by Good Feel, Retro or Nintendo themselves, it'd be a welcome thing to hold me over until "3D Mario" comes.

Any Platinum-related love would also be nice...

Sorry man, no Platinum love this time.

Iwata said this Nintendo Direct is going to be special in a tweet, and confirmed it's going to be about "what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing." http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46756048&postcount=675

Nintendo's not developing Bayonetta 2 / The Wonderful 101.
