If they want it to sell really well, they should put a picture of Mario wearing Batman's costume on the cover. Instant multi-million seller, haha!
I feel like the idea has been stolen from somewhere!

(I knew you'd like that, haha!)I feel like the idea has been stolen from somewhere!
I seriously hope the cover of the Wii U version of the Batman Arkham City GOTY Edition won't be that... thing.
That might scare people away.
is left 4 dead exclusive to 360?

Yeah, but the rest of GAF refuses to believe that there's an NDA.But the Darksiders II guy in the Hip Hop Gamer interview said that there was an NDA and that was why he couldn't say anything about the Wii U version.
Foot, meet mouth.We all learn to filter out BurntPork's inane rambling to stay sane in the thread
That how we think.
99% of consumers see that and think "oh FUCK 10/10? I gotta buy this shit!"

Such a bizarro world.
I remember when NoE were the worst part of Nintendo, and now look at them!
CVG said:How have you been able to utilise the Wii-U's unique features for Ghost Recon Online?
Our focus has been entirely on delivering a great launch on PC. Achieving that has been an all-hands-on-deck effort for the team this year. We're looking forward to seeing what we can do on other platforms like Wii-U once we're on solid ground with the PC launch. So no specific update for now, sorry!
With the upcoming launches of next-generation consoles from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft on the horizon, analysts at Piper Jaffray estimate hardware sales for each console will be down significantly compared to current-gen consoles.
Analysts Michael J. Olson and Andrew D. Connor expect an average decline of 53 percent for software sales in the first 14 months of the next-gen console cycles from the three companies, based on "meetings with industry sources."
The Wii U, which Olson and Connor expect will ship in the fall of this year with a price tag of $299 or greater, is forecast to sell only 35 percent of the volume of the original Wii during its first 14 months, due to "disappointing" hardware specs and competition from the mobile games industry.
Sony's next console will launch during the 2013 holiday season, suggests the analyst firm, and will only sell 50 percent of the volume that the PlayStation 3 managed -- again, due to competition from tablets and smartphones.
Finally, Microsoft's next Xbox will launch in 2014 says Piper Jaffray, and will sell only 55 percent of the volume that the Xbox 360 has before it. The firm believes that this will be down to the next Xbox being "an incremental improvement, not a quantum leap" over its predecessor.
"Unfortunately, we do not expect a console refresh to fully offset the secular declines in console gaming," the firm said.
"We believe console gaming will continue to be a time-share donor to social networks, mobile games and tablets. We, therefore, favor companies with increasing exposure to social/mobile gaming, including Zynga and EA."
wait what
So I guess the game gets delayed on Wii U?

Not sure if this is new or old.
That's a large part of what will make this E3 so much fun. They're going to see something convincing, and they have a few ways to deal with it.. they can dwell in denial, troll, implode, go into outright "yeah.. but" attack mode, or come into acceptance.The rest of GAF is under Nintendo Disbelieve Agreement.

The game is planned to be released end of May for consoles (DS/PSP/PS360) and mid-June for PC. They still have some month to finish it for launch (let's say with a September Wii U launch).Yeah, it's possible Ghost Recon doesn't make Wii U's launch.

2000 posts over the WE and nothing really new?
- spanish twin page
- no new Wii U info from Nintendo direct
- Ideaman wants to share some information
- BG and HT also want to share information??
Is that all?
Really no news...
#8164, analysis of warioworld.com traffic (conspicuous peak in April '11)
#8187, "consider [DRC camera face tracking] an official feature that will be present on the Wii U"
#8580, Shane Satterfield (Gametrailers editor-in-chief) claims Wii U launch lineup will be a very positive surprise (specific quote in #8697)
#8592, 3DS will shortly support patches, DLC and folders, so (by assumption) Wii U should have these features more or less out of the box
#8928, IdeaMan notes that third party devs are not aware of a Nintendo-branded hard drive as of mid-April
#8969, Plantronics (headset company) hiring for possible Wii U peripheral development
#9423, IBM Slashes Some Power7 Processor Prices
#9668, Spain/Nintendo/GAF discovered
#9839, Lucas Arts Wii U MMO listed on E3 2012 floor plan (possibly old news)
#10059, Interview with Gaijin Games's Alex Neuse: "I'd like to let you know that we have a Wii U devkit, and while I can't confirm anything at this time, I am winking at you while I write this and shooting you two thumbs up. We are trying our hardest to get a Wii U version together."
#10069, Interview with Senile Team: "That doesn't mean we would never use any of the Wii U's unique features, but we would probably only use them as an addition to more conservative gameplay mechanics, not as a replacement. We find that the latter tends to make games feel crippled."
#10072: Interview with Telltale Games: "Were not working on [Wii U downloadable game dev] currently, but that doesnt mean we wouldnt do it. It seems like it would be a nice opportunity, so weve just gotta kind of watch that a little closer. Getting involved with a launch platform involves a lot, so were in the process of figuring that out with Nintendo.
Yeah, it's possible Ghost Recon doesn't make Wii U's launch.
Six years ago they did something similarhas nintendo ever been this quiet for so long?
I'm pretty sure that this length of silence is unprecedented for Nintendo. The payoff had better be damn good. And I think they know this.has nintendo ever been this quiet for so long?
Ubi knows firsthand that new Nintendo console shoppers can make their holiday a very cheery one, even with middling software..The way I see it is most likely Ubisoft will get every game they can at Wii U's launch before the end of the year. So there's a higher chance of Ghost Recon at launch than a chance of it not being at launch.
Six years ago they did something similar
I get that its two different markets...
But does no one see the problem when they talk about disappointing specs... and then the emergence of smart phones and tablets?
Draw Something, Angry birds, Temple Run, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja aren't what I would call graphical showcases, but some of the best known/selling titles on the device.
One day, folks will realize specs don't sell hardware.
Analysts predicting disappointing sales because of lower-than-expected tech? lol
Since when did cutting edge tech dictate who runs the shop?
I'm pretty sure that this length of silence is unprecedented for Nintendo. The payoff had better be damn good. And I think they know this.
We didn't know anything about the games for the system. Except for Red Steel two(?) months in advance.They weren't so quiet about the Wii. Not even close.
Did I not just say that you should never pay attention to analysts?http://gamasutra.com/view/news/1690...re_donor_for_social_mobile_games__analyst.php

Wow, this is the first developer to actually speak from a standpoint of sane development. "~If we make a good game that could sell on any platform, it's better for the bottom line that if we made a shitty game focusing on features of one platform.~"
It's been weak, surely, though there have been some interesting tidbits:
Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax."

Nice read. Thanks. Also, this :

Wiinner.

Same here. Nintendo could conceivably hit us with surprise after surprise after surprise for 75-to-90 minutes. It'd be such an incredible amount of information to process.. GAF would be an absolute madhouse. Naysayers would have no idea which angle to attack through first. Nintendo fans wouldn't know where to start with their wishes and questions. I don't think that this scale of information dump/surprise has ever beempn attempted at E3. This is huge!That's why I feel this is going to be nintendo's most impressive showing ever.

There's a side of me that really, really thinks we'll see a Darkstalkers game on Wii U.

All would be forgiven for Ubi as far as I'm concerned. I honestly think I'd shed a tear of joy in that event.I predict Beyond Good And Evil 2 to be a Wii U launch title.
