When in doubt, port beg.
Anyway, I hope the d-pad placement on the Classic Controller is comfortable if Rayman Legends is really a Wii exclusive.

Isn't the game analog though? Or am I misremembering.
Isn't that still bannable? Not really good advice, if so. :lol
How am I port begging? I didn't even mention which platforms I want it on.
I'm merely expressing my disappointment with their decision to go exclusive, since, you know, the original was multiplatform.

Reminds me of when Soul Calibur 3 was PS2 only for some reason.
e: so beyond good & evil 2 will happen.
what's weird is that yeah, okay, nintendo consoles do the platformer thing well, generally speaking, but rayman legends will be doing kinda almost exactly what nsmb will be doing at launch.
so maybe mario isn't a launch game? kinda weird.

Hahahaha. Ancel will be making Rayman games until the end of time.
Maybe Nintendo is going to prop it up as their big introduction to the NFC reader/writer, as well as asymmetrical multiplayer? I can't imagine NSMB doing anything similar in either regard.

I doubt NSMB Mii is a launch game, highly doubt it. Will be a May 2013 title, calling it now.

I really enjoyred the interactivity of the tablet during the Rayman presentation. It definitely made me smile.
Ubisoft has easily had the best presentation of the companies; yet to be determined if they can be better than Nintendo.

Maybe Nintendo wants to hold off on the Wii U Mario to give NSMB2 time to sell millions.
Plus it'd have more of a system-selling effect later in the system's life than at launch, where the console should sell buttloads anyway (unless it's overpriced and has no games, only the former is probable).
kind of like what Nintendo did first in SMG

To be fair while this game made a profit it didn't sell too hot.
Possibly by being exclusive it will appeal and stand out to more people, especially on a likely library starved system (like most launch window consoles).

Very interesting move from Ubi. I'm betting that they don't want to repeat the mistake of ignoring the Wii
Launch titles, even when they look like poop, have a better chance of making money.

Ubi supported the Wii pretty well at first, loads better than EA... but then something happened, and they stopped. Which is odd because their two launch games both sold over a million copies.

It's true. No one would have bought Red Steel if it came out in 2009. It sold because it was a launch title.
I'm not saying your wrong, but I'd be surprised. Actually, I'm just conflicted. On one hand having a 2D Mario on 3DS in August and a 2D Mario on Wii U in November is completely redundant. They need to space that shit out. But on the other hand, Nintendo specifically said that they wouldn't make the same mistake they made with 3DS by not launching it with must have games. Pikmin won't be enough. Hell, it wasn't even enough for Gamecube.
I'd like to think that Nintendo realizes that launching with a Mario title was a good tradition in the past and something they should go back to. MAAAYBE the U will launch with Mario Kart instead. I doubt 3D Mario would be ready but again, maybe. Just seems like a 2D Mario could be slapped together much easier in comparison to anything else and there's already footage, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Perhaps a DK:R sequel will be their killer app, too, since it sold so well for Wii.

listen to the mad man
One of which was Rabbids, which got 4 further installments (one of which was actually half-decent).
The other of which was Red Steel, which got a high budget sequel that ran into production difficulties and needed to be rebooted at least once, maybe twice, and ended up being a pretty good game with some high profile retail pushes--to little/no success.
But they continued their support anyway, leading to Just Dance, easily the shittiest game franchise to ever crack a million, let alone ten. I like dancing games, btw, this isn't me moaning about casuals or whatever. I just think Just Dance itself is a particularly bad dancing game.
I think all things considered, that's pretty meaty support.
The lack of Tom Clancy and AC stuff is pretty much all on the Wii's hardware profile and the move to UE3 as middleware.
We're going to try to clarify things a little bit more when E3 settles down (we've got a draft that I contributed to on the subject), but for now the short version is to think of it as a subset of system wars stuff in general. If someone is disrupting a thread by pushing a platform-based agenda, they'll get whacked. E3 threads move fast enough that I'm a lot less concerned about someone just passively saying "What no <x> SKU awww man" or that kind of stuff.

Watch, tomorrow will have some totally unexpected system selling thing. It will be so sweet.

I'm waiting to hear about Pikmin 3 and there's gotta be a least one or two killer apps(keen to WiiSports) that they have been doodling with. I dont see Star Fox, Metroid, or Zelda being there. At least for Wii U. No sense in getting a heart attack early....

I can barely watch any of the videos, due to living in nowhere and having slow as fuck internet, but I'm excited to see a bit from ZombiU. And Rayman is always good. Good show, Ubisoft.
It is a shame Red Steel 2 sold poorly. It had some stupid design issues, but it's seriously my favorite-playing action game of this gen. I'd kill for another sequel, especially with the added power of the WiiU behind it. They'be got a potential moneymaker in the series, I'm sure of it. It just needs to be marketed the right way.

Yet no Splinter Cell or Watch Dogs announced.

And the rest...?
Edit: Or it wasn't a Wii U specific list I guess?
Yeah would have been cool to have those too. Maybe the sequels one day. Both could benefit from uPad features in some way.
I reckon we'll see Splinter Cell at some point, since Ubi have never shied away from porting them over (Conviction aside, for obvious reasons).
Hmm that means they have 1 more title that they will announce at the Nintendo event because they have only shown 8 so far
I really want to see Watch Dogs on Wii U. Hopefully they kept that as a surprise for the Nintendo conference. *crosses finger*
If not, well i still got a gaming PC at least. But having that game on Wii U will show that Ubisoft is taking the console seriously, especially if that ZombiU game do not deliver.

So far its disappeared. Ubisoft gave a general title card of 8 titles coming to the Wii U and it was gone.
You can also play with sideways Wiimotes.
So strange, taking into account it was completely playable last year. Maybe Nintendo don't want F2P games so soon in the console's life?
They asked not to post the rest, because the email should have been sent one hour after the conference, but is a bit boring list, two dance games, two sport games...
What eight?
Btw, Watch Dogs is not one of them.

True. I also just checked the stockmarkets and nintendo is very slightly up over the past few days, microsoft and sony down, ea down, ubisoft up almost 4% today which means people are paying attention. They could be up by a lot if the next few days prove to give them even more positive buzz. Are any of their games playable on the floor?
that's really strange. it was completely playable last year, and seemed to be one of the more advance works on the wii u.
looking at KF-Zombi, probably Ghost Recon became YourShape...
ZombiU
Rabbids Land
Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013
Sports Connection
Rayman
Just dance 4
Avengers
Assassins Creed 3
Yeah, that's the list I saw, they listed one more game, another Just Dance, Just Dance: Disney Party, but I'm not sure if it's for Wii or Wiiu...
What if that becomes a WiiU exclusive? What will happen on GAF?

mechanically speaking, there's nothing i saw in the gameplay demonstration that wii, move, or vita couldn't replicate. i imagine wii is out because of wiiu seniority/ horsepower but the cursor based nature of the control of the little fly guy almost implies that other platforms are being considered.
id put money on a vita version at minimum. we've seen far too many "exclusives" turn out to be not very exclusive this gen. either they just straight up release, or they get a subtitle change and a release on technicality.
