What? Idea man just suggested that the co-developers of far cry 3 are working on the wii u (via LinkedIn). There may be a possibility of it coming to the system.

When you think about it though, the PS3 technically has the same advantage over the Xbox 360. The 360 has almost no outstanding 1st party software coming out anymore, and it's still ahead largely because of Live, and we know that battle is one Nintendo can't win.

What I'm saying is that N-GAF are the Avengers!
Not really, but they sure got this thread's casual interplay down pat
That's true. Even if it's an old jack you can simply plug headphones in and just use the mic on the controller in tandem with the earphones.

Can you link to the job listing? The only one I can find that contains the words "Wii U" is the one I covered in my earlier post about this: http://72.52.200.115/forum/showpost.php?p=37158958&postcount=8969We know from the previous threads that Plantronics (the company specialized in headsets) is on board for the Wii U. There is a new job offer, with in the "following/knowing trends" required skills, a mention of the system.
I wonder what kind of headset this brand will make, what would be its advantage and how they will market it, considering the padlet already has a built-in microphone designed for comfortable voice chat. Maybe a noise-canceling technology on it ? Perhaps "your team-mates won't meet difficulties listening to your orders with our new lightweight headset with a mic near your mouth !" ?
My policy is that the vast majority of games announced at or before E3 2011 aren't going to end up on Wii U due to development constraints. It's all possible of course, but I've already resolved to not get too optimistic.

i understood but i didn't know what to answer
Your non-optimism ends up being pessemistic. You're always pessimistic >__>.
A new Pokemon Stadium game... online.. where you can gain Pokemon through NFC.
They should open up a second vault for the profits!
Stop watching ZFG and Cosmo's streams and FINISH THE DAMN GAME

This one:
Agreed. "Old Man Yells at Crowd" is hilarious and is the perfect theme and tone for E3 season. hehe
Just needs to be scaled/zoomed a bit. Spooky Fire Girl av was short lived....
Well after seeing that Rayman promo vid, I expect third parties will do a lot for them.

The analogy admittedly would have been stronger if it were the year 2000 and this were the "Nintendo Star Cube Speculation Thread".

What do you think Shane means here:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-205-invisible-walls/729443
I know it's 2 episodes late, but at 13:05 he says that the launch lineup for Wii U is going to surprise some people. What could it be?
Before he says this they were talking about Japanese developers being quite so far about Wii U, so possibly some Japanese developed games?

There's your major problem.

Yeah i was referring to this news when i said "in the previous threads". I think it's the same job offer, i saw it some hours ago in linkedin, the description is similar. Considering the time lap between the job offer on their site and its recent publication on linkedin, i guess they haven't found yet the intern of their dreams
Still, i wonder how they will position themselves, knowing the padlet will have a built-in mic. Maybe describing it as a "for casuals" one, and pushing "real players" to use a proper headset ?
are you talking about the blockbuster thing? Yeah, it's probably best to ignore that.

He's obviously talking about Rockstar making a Nintendo exclusive GTA game that involves you playing as Captain Falcon and shaking down Nintendo characters for money.
Are you talking about the BlockBuster list? That was confirmed to be pure speculation by a former BB manager, in fact he apparently was one of the people who added titles to that list.
Terrible bedside manor guek. Am disappointed.
Take my money. I would play this.

No, he's saying the Blockbuster list is fake.

Isn't it weird how we're sitting here now, with no information game wise for the most part, but in less than 1 month so much will become clear.
We're going to look back and laugh. It will be nice to see who was right on the money with their predictions.

First FY? So from launch until March 31st?
10 Million would be pretty damn good for just 5 months.

I removed my blockbuster comment, it wasn't about that, jeez SHANE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THE BLOCKBUSTER LIST, THIS IW EPISODE IS OLD, before the list came up.
SHANE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THE BLOCKBUSTER LIST, THIS IW EPISODE IS OLD, before the list came up.But I can't play that and do my homework at the same time. Can't I wait just a little longer?
Also, I never beat OoT until last year, and I've only played through ALttP once, and it was the GBA version.

Here's what the Wii shipped. 3 million by end of the calendar year, 6 million by end of the fiscal year. Am I reading that correctly?
Eh it's worth putting homework aside for. Trust me.
Derp, reading comprehension fail. Nevermind.
They won't lose the stigma because the media will move the goalposts stating "well Apple sold far more iPads!"

it should be pretty amusing. The conference will be so much better this year not because the content of it, since we don't know that yet, but because of the build up. We've had endless discussion and speculation on all the possibilities on every subject, it'll all explode in a 1 hour or so conference where we finally get our answers.
Crow will be eaten, optimists shocked back to reality, pessimists pleasantly surprised, or perhaps everybody blown away.
Oh, you are really optimistic... my bet is 5 mln from November to March

It'll really come down to supply.
Launching during the Holidays will be pretty big, and if they can keep supply up, then they're golden.
I hope BG isn't full of shit. Moreso than ideaman, tbh.
Nintendo's forecast is WAAAAAY lower than that. They expect Wii and Wii U to ship 10.5 million units combined in FY2012.
I don't like the teasing, but in the end we will know who to trust and who to ignore when it comes to information. I'm pretty sure we'll all be pleasantly surprised one way or another.

ah yeah that's another thing, we'll see who was the closest source wise.
eggzactly
Call me an optimist about what Nintendo is bringing, but pretty realistic about their hardware.
Very much looking forward to seeing what their final secret(s) are for the controller and interface.
That seems pretty low. I expect about 7-8 million.
Yep. And the great thing about these threads is that everyone seems to be on record about their expectations, even if they're scattered all over the place.
For the final thread before E3, I'll have a final predictions survey to post right after the OP.
There are definitively unannounced titles from third-parties, scheduled for the launch period (up to 2 months after the system release). However, informed people helped with some hints here & there + sleuthing on the web resulted in the expectation/semi-acknowledgment of some of them. But there will be surprises, from third-parties.
For first-party titles, we'll see at E3, but it's likely we'll have unexpected games if what we anticipate from them is limited to Pikmin 3 + NSMB Wii U + a gamer title (Retro ?).
The surprising comment could also describe the overwhelming aspect of the launch line-up, because it's shaping-up to be the most diverse and highest in software quantity that we ever saw on a Nintendo platform.
