Because I like the idea of MMOs but the only one I ever enjoyed was SMT: Imagine and that was entirely because it attracted kindred spirits. I don't want to play WoW or D&D or some shit with weirdo fantasy people.

I wonder if Nintendo has any clue whatsoever about the small number of folks online who would love the resurrection of any of these IPs..

I don't know, there are a giant slew of MMO ideas that have yet to pop up but might be pretty compelling. Like Massively Multiplayer Online Populous.

all they would have to do to impress me is show a Zelda game that looks exactly like the Wii U tech demo, only announce that it is being fleshed out into a real game. anything extra is just icing on the cake of Zelda.
do this and I will give you $$$ all my money Nintendo!

I'm talking about people who read Tolkien and want to fuck dragons. Just the worst.

I think the chances of us seeing one or two successful ones are fairly high. It just needs to be a QUALITY product, not this.

They wouldn't have made FFXIV if MMORPGs didn't make them so much money.

Honestly, I think SWTOR would be a great fit on the Wii U.
I'd resub for sure.

They should release a "Nintendo's Lost Gems" collection for Wii U eShop with all their niche titles at a good price and be able to trackdown which of those games have been played the most. This should give them a good picture.
Or even better: release those titles seperately and watch how they sell!

FFIV, my Gamestop can't give that shit away.
EDIT: FFIVX....12 hour 3rd shift, spice of life

They can't give away FF4?

I seriously wonder how much longer that thing has to live.
They appear to have realized that content creation for that MMORPG in particular is way more expensive and time-consuming than they expected.
Though porting that to consoles might help.

Apparently they improved FFXIV quite a bit haven't they?
Ok, duck hunt dog, bowser, lakitu and.....a duck? Where is that duck from? Duck hunt?
fake edit:
look like that blocky duck from picross 3d. Nintendo forseeing it's own future?

If they use their own servers, I don't think they have a choice.

If they don't then :/
I'm hoping so. Would be a nice piece of information for them to share at E3.
That is an interesting question and one that determines if MMOs ever exist on the platform. I would imagine if SE is considering it that Nintendo has said they would be open to it

Wasn't there an MMO dev that said they wouldn't be bringing their game to consoles because the platform holders wouldn't allow cross-platform play?
They wouldn't have to throw a huge budget behind them and maybe selling 100k or so would do them well at the same time.

Microsoft is very much against it and Sony at least allows PC.

How did FFXI 360 work? 360-only servers?

Man, those would have been barren...

there's also the small chance they become hits.
MS allowed it as an initial exception because they wanted to gain favor with Square Enix in the beginning of the generation. Policy has since changed, which is why the vast majority of MMOs scheduled for the 360 have been cancelled.

You have to figure if it's asked for, it can be delivered. MMOs won't be hosted on Nintendo's servers and it's just TCP/IP that it communicates over.
I really can't see it happening.
Acting crazy, making ban bets, etc. Didn't know he got 6 months though. What a shame.

Meh I could see them doing it especially now. They're trying to lure 3rd parties and have better relationships. If Sony did it, they gotta do it.
PC version in the trailer
Not only region lock, but lock games to your account like the rest of next gen
I would gladly take a free sealed copy of FF4!

Start reading on that page... And 6 months? Seriously?
Why not? Remember, Wii U online:
FFXIV, huh? Hmmm.....
If I know Sony, they'll shoot for the moon, even with off-shelf parts, and accidentally bottleneck the bejeezus out of their console, like they have with every console since the PS1.
Yeah, the way the discussion was directed, Shane knows about the West's offerings and thinks it's awesome, but as the other commenter mentioned, Japan is more than willing to wait for Nintendo and only disclose info to the Japanese gaming press, which aren't as known for leaks as our gaming press are (likely because Nintendo has them on NDAs, as well)
Well, with FFXIV possibly hitting WiiU, my prediction as far back as last year of FFVersusXIII being ported gets closer and closer to being right on the money.
It'll still use a friend code, dude. And there's nothing wrong with that. At all.

As soon as you hear the words "3rd-party exclusive", you know Nintendo has won, simply by making a system that bucks the multi-platform trend and can secure system-selling content without internal resources.

Not too big on MMORPGs but if this works out maybe we'll see some more.
Damn. That's a long time. He's going to miss E3. He and I were supposed to celebrate together!

Nintendo might take a "We don't give a shit, do what you want" stance on MMORPGs and cross-play.
-Pyromaniac-

I agree.
Ah, figured it was that thread. Things were heating up fast last I read it.
And as for the six months figure, I got that from here. I have no clue whether it's accurate or even legitimate.

That is true too.
No, that site is all fake information. Although its possible he did that himself.

Hopefully a shitton better than the wii version which looks questionable.
Something that has become a parody of Duke Nukem might not have a chance of hitting the Wii U. Maybe the next Nintendo console, after the Wii U.
The sheer amount of abilities per character would be enough to drive me completely away from that, touch screen or not.
Unless they announce a keyboard for it.
