Dude, of course he's unhinged! First he asks his groupies to go kill a metric fuckton of Spaniards, then he apparently buried some large golden tablets somewhere and then took a stroll to get a beer at the Westboro Baptist Church, where he proceeded to get drunk and claim we're all going to hell because of EVERYTHING.

But he makes the best damn crepes I've ever had.
I think he puts a dash of nutmeg in there.
His caramel sauce for them is great too.
Still, man, you should just de-friend him from your Facebook already, you don't need to put up with that crap.
You know what I just realized? One of the things that made last gen's console war so awesome, more awesome than the epic trolls and the meltdowns, that has been taken from us.... CASTLE VIDCONS.

Sorry.
My brain was leaking for a minute there.
Thank God Cooky and Terrell were there to help scoop it up.

Can't remember my grandfathers middle name though so there might be a piece sitting around somewhere.
20% because devs are likely tired of keeping their mouths shut at a media event with a console being released THIS YEAR that they're making content for. I expect Nintendo's developer relations teams to be there to field questions from devs about what they can disclose without breach of NDA.
I can't give a percentage, but I'll say the chances are slim to none.
Also, Monkey, did you ever get those figs out of your rectum? I think they might be doing something to you.

I never even contemplated the thought really.
Can rectal figs cause paranoid schizophrenia with auditory hallucinations?
10% for faith, 83498567645963259862398675928352345356356% for Ubisoft and their flappy (vagina) I mean PR.
Pfffff, if Ubisoft had something to leak, we would know already. The Nintendo Ninjas got them in check. They are not taking any chances.
maybe as for japanese softco on Vita: no news because no game in development

I still remember Red Steel leaks!

So, as promised, i'll give you an information concerning the Wii U ram.
This is heavily linked to my initial post
In the specific context where i gathered this information (read the Warning part here), i can say that the retail version of Wii U will absolutely not have less than 1 GB of ram. You can ditch this 760mb of ram rumor and never look back.
The exciting bonus: From what i know, i'm also pretty sure that it will not have just 1 GB.
This is reported in a Rev4 dev kit frame, so maybe the later versions will change even more the ram situation. But whatever the amount of memory current dev kits have, i'm talking of the retail version*
*Yes, dev kits often have a different amount of ram for debugging and other things, but even if it may be the case for Wii U, my sources are able to know how much ram the real Wii U is expected to have, for the moment ! You can guess how.
Edit: more hints a few posts below
More to come about the padlet, before the end of the week
I only can say about arkam, and he is legit.
To be more precise, i was quite surprised by the amount of ram expected in the retail version.
I think this message is a bigger hint that the previous one
brb saving this for GDC, E3 and TGS
Thanks, but I was actually asking if the info he is giving is bullshit or not
hmm...well that changes things. But wouldn't that then disqualify everything ideaman has said? Why can't you comment on his statements?
Please be more clear :-(

He was saying he can't comment on whether Ideaman himself is legit not his info.
then: or Arkam saw just very old and incomplete dev kits, or Ideaman is joking with our hopes

not sure why you are being sarcastic, we already knew arkham was legit.
I'm not being sarcastic, I misunderstood what lherre was saying

Correction.
IdeaMan alleges to have connections that have access to a modern kit. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but I'll keep my natural pessimism thank you very much.

Ellipsis are my best friend!
Tell me where to find this... AceBandage... and I can assure you... he will not... live through the day...

So we've been suggested that there's more than 1GB of RAM in the Wii U several times now. Arkham has also said that the RAM is quite slow, and I vaguely recall this was hinted at before already (can't remember where). Combining this makes me think there's 1.5GB of RAM on a 96-bit bus. This is a smaller bus width than the PS3 and 360 use and at least superficially seems to be quite slow. In that case, if Nintendo uses DDR3 or GDDR3 they need to clock it quite high (>1050MHz) to even match the 360's bandwidth. Of course Nintendo can use GDDR5, which is twice as fast, or partially address bandwidth bottlenecks by using EDRAM scratchpads for both the GPU and CPU.
Of course, 1.5GB is very good to have. Even if only at 360 bandwidths.
Of course, 1.5GB is very good to have. Even if only at 360 bandwidths.
Which is exactly why I wasn't considering his information reliable before he was confirmed ;p
About IdeaMan, I'd honestly be much more willing to trust his information if he confirmed his status with the mods. Regardless, the little information he gave until now, within those fancy posts, seems consistent with what other sources said (unlike Arkam's information, which directly contradicted the RAM part). This doesn't mean he should be considered reliable, of course, but it also doesn't mean he shouldn't. The best course of action, for now, would probably be taking his information with a couple of grains of salt, and double-checking it with other sources. And waiting for concrete details, because if he's just repeating what other reputable sources said here to appear trustworthy and is actually bs'ing people, the backlash will be epic

I really like this kid.
Me neither, although $399 equals $600 here in euroland.
Dont know what math you are doing here?!
)Ok 399$ is normally 300 Euro (with the Euro I use here.
But like always with the console release if it would be an US price tag of 399$ it will be 399 Euro here (528$).
Unlike the 3DS' flat Circle Pads, the Wii U's are thick (I guess maybe a few cm or so) and have grip and a rigid edge.
*tips hat*
3ds sticks work quite welll....
