I was going to say Slant Six.
Would genuinely not be surprised if Capcom bought them.

Spark Unlimited.
But which studio is? Surely DKC is not going back to the moth balls now.
Sega... Imagine the horror!But which studio is? Surely DKC is not going back to the moth balls now.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only person coming across as mad here is you, paco.
You probably wouldn't be talking like this if he wasn't a junior...

So, according to Gaf:
1. NSMB Wii was not a fantastic title
2. A NSMB Wii-U title at lauch is disappointing news
3. Pikmin should be more realistic (lol?)
4. Though the final lauch line-up hasn't been announced yet, people have already decided that it isn't good enough
Ya'll be crazy.
I absolutely do not have a problem with Nintendo launching with a 2D Mario. It's an exceedingly good business move, no matter how much I'd prefer a HD 3D title.
I would have a problem with them maintaining the same artstyle and soundtrack as the other two NSMBs, though. They are launching a HD console, and frankly I don't give a shit if they're aiming for a wider audience; if the game is showcased at E3 this year looking like it did last year, then they are treating their audience with utter contempt. I don't often agree with the whole Nintendo are lazily rehashing their IP argument, but shitting out a NSMB with Miis crowbarred in and token running on the pad is the dictionary definition of the practice.
Somebody in Nintendo's PR had their head screwed on right when they dropped Pikmin 3 at E3 into the discussion, because I'd be feeling really sour about Nintendo at the moment otherwise.

It's mixed. It has both positive and negative stuff in there.
I'll assume that's what the gun represents :lol
What if it came as a pack-in?
For a short time, I gave Amir0x so much shit back when he was a crazed, rampaging mod that terrorized these boards. To this day I have no clue whatsoever why he never perma'd me when he dropped that ban hammer on many others for a lot less. He was kind enough to give me a warning though before I started to back off a bit
That link does not say anything about the Wii U. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Although it would be highly irregular for Nintendo, who has never (to my recollection) made a multiplat game, there have been some pretty decent cases made on these threads suggesting how Nintendo could conceivably do it in the "Nintendo Way".
Zavvi (UK online Retailer) may have possibly leaked the European Wii U launch date:
Friday 16 November 2012.

C'mon son, retailers do this all the time. Didn't a Spanish site post one a few days ago too?
1. It was alright, but it looked like shit and the music wasn't all good.
2. Not really, but I can think of several titles I would rather have at launch.
3. Never played Pikmin, so I don't know.
4. True. People shouldn't be overreacting until after E3.
Even a staunch detractor of the game like myself wouldn't say it looked "shit" in terms of graphics. Moreso the style, which I'm sure is what you meant.

Thanks. Fine. You're on par with us. We're all NDAed. Bye.What factors will be crucial in Nintendo's ability to make the Wii U a solid seller, and the Wii U ecosystem as a whole profitable for Nintendo? Macchiarella sees two key things for Nintendo. "Proving that the new controller means truly innovative gameplay, and a good game lineup at launch."

I think a lot of people get their panties in a bunch because they know they'll want to play a new mario game but they just don't want to pay for it if it looks as visually un-stimulating as previous NSMB titles. Personally, I'm hoping it's a pack in and we see a trailer for a 3D mario slated for next year.
If I was a video game retailer I'd post pre-orders like this to get more people to pre-order. The more that pre-order the more potential sells. If I was an obscure online retailer this might be a huge sales increase.
BTW, I like the new avatar.
Price?
199$ - 250$
Release date?

Bullshit xbox360 multiplayer equivalent?
Yes.

I have no idea why you're doing these, but I love them.
Yay, my killer app has been optimized for the NeoGAF architecture. Turns out when you customize your software specifically for a platform, performance dramatically increases!
It's the 17th now (UTC), so I figured that I should pop up the new and improved version showing the results for the last day, which was the highest performing day for a non-launch Wii U Speculation Thread ever! Thankfully, it bested the previous high, which I believe was the terrible one filled almost entirely with not actually funny animated pictures and fake news stories that got peoplebanned. So we can feel a bit more confident in ourselves as we push onward!well, person
So, anyway, this is following a fairly Nintendo path. Thread 1 is like the Gameboy, which sold well but at a generally sub-gangbuster level for an eternity. Thread 3 is the GBA, which started out massively but had a short life. Thread 4 is the DS, which started out weaker than its predecessor but rapidly attained Beast Mode and never looked back!
NB: Thread 1 actually lasted 210 days, but the chart would look really scrunched if I included that whole time.
Also, don't read this if you have power over man and beast:Guess which thread isn't locked yet?

Who makes the NSMB games? EAD1, right? Those guys need a kick up the arse, because I swear all the serious talent is in Tokyo. God I hope Tokyo are working on something great for Wii U.
Can Neogaf ban gameindustry.biz if the WiiU CPU and GPU are more powerful than Xbox360 and PS3?
The shit storm their rumors have caused can't go unpunished...
New Mario Bros Mii + Pikmin 3 + Wii Sports + third party games we know about right now.
Lets pretend that was the launch.
Good, average, or bad launch?
EAD 4, who also makes Pikmin. So one of the franchises had to be moved to a different group.

Naaaaah. The only way I can see the Wii U being that price range is if "TEH HARDWARE IZN'T POWURFUL." Nintendo's not going to sell the thing at a loss, nor is it going to pull a "five-hundred and ninety-nine dollars".
