I like how the white Wii U logo looks on black
But the WiiU controller is basically a standard controller with a screen. If it's a budget release I'm sure people won't expect much from the screen apart from streaming.
This is actually problematic... Next Generation adoption has to come from games, and Sony has all it's first party devs still working on PS3 atm, so I don't see PS4 releasing next year with very many first party titles, and if everything else is an up-port from PS3, what exactly becomes the point of buying a PS4, especially when Backwards compatibility probably isn't there...
Microsoft is in an even worse position to release a console next year just because their first party IPs don't really move the industry, only games I can see really bringing people around is Gears of war 4 and Halo 5 or 6 which ever is meant for next gen, and that should be worrying because both series would sell better on 360 at the moment...
I'm not sure we will get consoles in 2013 from these guys, I certainly don't really see any developers pushing huge AAA titles to those platforms until they are announced, not when there is a large market to sell games on for PS360.
I think Wii U, while being a year late IMO, is still going to position itself as the lead platform for Developers this upcoming gen, especially because Wii U will share the same GPU features as PS4/XB3 as long as they are both built on GCN and Wii U has all the bells and whistles of a 2011/12 GPU.
In my list?
6GHz CPU? Yeah... no.

May I have a cookie?
Yes. The "B-tier" needs love too. Especially from us since the media will never give them the time of day anymore.
Here's a separate B list. I anticipate these games in the period following the launch rush but before Nintendo's second generation games hit the Wii U:
ExciteBike 4
PilotWings
Wii U Pictionary
Wii Sports 3 (whatever it ends up being called)
Mii Play
Mii Party
Wii Talk (Wii U video call application; will probably be sold at a budget price and will have some minigames to be played over VoIP included as well)
That's all I got for the time being
already decided the next thread title guys?
The Wii U Speculation Thread VI: How?
That was from three months ago
Not big. It would cost more to enhance the already completed version than simply re-visualize it
Lower than adding back in Kunckle's art studio.
Didn't they say something about the scrapped temples being retuned for TP anywho.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Ladies and gentlemen, time for the strap-ons.already decided the next thread title guys?
From what I understand of how Nintendo make Zelda games, a lot of what is left on the cutting room floor often makes it in to the subsequent Zelda game. A lot of the stuff that was cut from Ocarina of Time and its Ura Zelda expansion was refitted into Majora's Mask. So I'm guessing here that dungeon ideas that were abandoned during Wind Waker may have made their way into Twilight Princess or perhaps even Skyward Sword. So it might be unlikely that Nintendo will ever get round to 'fixing' Wind Waker.
If they added a dungeon at the Jabun part and removed the padding aspect of the Triforce hunt, Wind Waker would be the best Zelda ever.
So it's at 8GHz now?
According to one of the IBM engineers working on the project, the CPU was seemingly designed for clockspeeds between 1 and 4GHz. Or more precisely: Individual elements of the CPU were designed for clockspeeds in that range - if the execution units are clocked at 4GHz, the eDRAM would be running at 2GHz and the bus at 1GHz for example. I wouldn't expect the CPU to actually run at 4GHz by the way, the chip was simply designed to be capable of running at that speed.
Super Mario World 3
Excite Wings
Or Excite Boat
Or Excite x Wave Race FUSION SAGA (free for all mixed vehicle racing)
F-Zero EX(cite)
Mario Kart 8 (Monster)
Star Fox* (Monster!)
Wario Ware World (or Web, Wario wants to take over the whole Internet!)
Kid Icarus Uprising (in any form, even just a cheap eShop multi only mode!)
First party IP by third party dev:
Duck Hunt...by Treasure
And Sin & Punishment if Nintendo owns the IP.
*Might as well give Treasure Star Fox too, it could get back to shooting shit up completely again.

Each core is running at 3 ghz, it has 3 cores, so its 9 ghz. Its the first true 1024 bit system and has advanced blast processing.
as long as the line drawing demo turns into a downloadable app, im there

Does IBM have any CPU "Turbo" technology? I could see it running at ~3GHz and jumping up 300-600MHz for a single core to push some sort of chunk processing through, to keep the CPU from bottlenecking anywhere.

How does someone lose their Junior status? Is it chosen by mods?
EDIT: Oh right, I am a member now.
Wouldn't mind 720p, my HD TV is 720p so...
Overall I would take 720p if it meant easier development, more stable framerates, and overall and easier porting between Wii U and 720/PS4 (which will probably be closer to 1080p for most games next gen).
The Wii U Speculation Thread VI: "U will say wow!"
1. Super Mario (EAD Tokyo)
2. Pikmin 3
3. Wii U Play
4. Wii U Fit
5. "Wii Sports equivalent"
6. Retro's game (new IP)
7. Yoshi's Island (Good Feel)
8. Eternal Darkness 2
9. Monster's game (btw, I don't think there is any chance of this coming at launch like a lot of people seem to think, Pilotwings Resort came out 2 years ago and this would be their first HD game)
10. WarioWare U
If this list was real I'd be pretty happy. Imo it has a good balance to it.

If Lego was smart they'd start the game out as a vast, empty lot. The player would have use the NFC function to scan each and every piece into the game, eventually buying enough Lego to build his or her city and start playing.

Did you see the new controller?
We also had more speculation that GTA5 was coming.
Bonus Round confirming an awesome E3 lineup.
The Paul Gale Rumor (which is fake).
Retro's game is very likely a new IP.
not really just the usual crap, nonsence and baseless speculation, also analogue sticks
You mean because of what Satterfield said, right? I wouldn't really take it as confirmation of anything, I mean, before E3 2010 Pachter said (on the Bonus Round) that Nintendo would have nothing at E3, but then they had one of their best if not the best E3 conference they've had. All I mean is don't take anything from the Bonus Round as confirmation of anything, necessarily.

Shane has been saying it for a while, though.
And he's not the only one.
We've heard other people saying they're hyped for what they've been seeing announced for the Wii U as well.
These titles from Nintendo would make me very happy come E3:
Wii U Sports/Play (or some sort of mini-game collection, bundled of course)
Pikmin 3 (it's a given)
New Super Mario Bros Mii (highly likely)
New huge third-person action/adventure title by Retro
New RPG by Monolith Soft
and at least teasers for:
Eternal Darkness 2
Endless Ocean 3 (could be a graphical showcase)
I don't think that's much to ask for.

Umm... controller has analogue sticks now... green a white stuff... that's about it.
We r crzy though.

I feel terribly conflicted about this prospect. On the one hand it would be marvelous, on the other hand if it's just an HD Endless Ocean 2, then what's the point?
I want the series to remain fresh and unique!

Which is why Cosmic Walker needs a revival.
