Oh... well then you misspelled "Mega Man Legends 3" which is what you obviously meant.

Oh, we've had our fill with bearing today (E3 Bear came back for a while^^)

All you missed were the following announcements:

Japanese Nintendo Direct - 3 AM EST, US time & 9 AM EU time/8 AM UK (UStream link)
North American NY Press Event Livestream - 10 AM EST, US & 4 PM EU/3 PM UK
European Nintendo Direct - same time as NY Livestream

so juicy bits from Japan and then the region specific stuff later that day with 2 stream simultaneously.

What you did there... I see it

I was hoping somebody would

Oh... well then you misspelled "Mega Man Legends 3" which is what you obviously meant.

Maybe the game turns out to be both lol
Capcapom be crazy

 

[The_Lump]

Bollocks, just learnt I may miss the conference tomorrow... any UK Gaffers willing to update me via text...?

Would be happy to...but I'll be at work I think I can get away with watching - bit texting and watching may well get me fired. Lol

 

[Nibel]

That again.. that shit is spooky to me for some reason.

Can't handle the truth, huh!?

Anything Tales of and Fatal Frame would be the best outcome for me when it comes to possible known IP. Hopefully it doesn't end up like current Japanese 3DS Directs, with J-Pop and fashion games, etc lol

 

[Stulaw]

Fatal Frame's technically a second party game since Nintendo co-owns the IP. So that could be a legit announcement

Didn't Reggie say (I know, I know it is Reggie) at one point something like "If there is a game you are looking forward to on other consoles, odds are you will see it on Wii U, even if it hasn't been formally announced"? That's an ultra paraphrase but I distinctly remember reading that. I ask because I'm really hoping for a Borderlands 2 announcement tomorrow

[LiveFromKyoto]

Edit: Also, do you notice how Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart and SSB (Sakurai is heading Namco for the next smash) all have their own dedicated studios? Do you think Nintendo would ever outsource a Pokemon, Mario or Zelda to a western studio like DKRC was? Or Team Ninja doing a Mario or Zelda? No. That's what I meant by A and B tiers.

I do, Nintendo outsourced Minish Cap & Four Swords to Capcom.

Donkey Kong is A tier for sure, it's just not S rank like Mario & Wii Fit.

 

[Oersted]

Miyomoto makes an fps

it should have been like every other job for dr mario, but this time its getting personal.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Mock if old.

Miis will display more emotion on Wii U.

I did not know Peach and Wario were playable

 

[KojiKnight]

You skimmed a little too fast there. He explained why he put Miis in before characters like Peach and Wario (IE, it's still Mario, Luigi, and the 2 toads playable as well as Miis. No peach or Wario)

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Sunday, November 18. 3 skus at launch: $249, $299, $349. $349 sku comes bundled with NintendoLand and an extra controller.

[Pineconn]

I see that a number of people are pulling for the 3 SKUs at $250, $300, and $350, but also believe that the Wii U will be available in white in black. Does this imply that 6 actual bundles are coming? Or is there the possibility that there might be a "casual" bundle with white and a "hardcore" bundle with black (and an additional one)?

For one, I do believe we will see both black and white, but I have no ideas what the SKUs might be.

 

[qq more]

Do you love Minecraft then?

Minecraft may be blocky but I think the game looks nice in a different way.

 

[Hoodbury]

Yahoo, my 10:00 ET meeting got cancelled. Live stream here I come.

 

[IdeaMan]

Apparently the real Wii U dashboard is now available to studios. So they will know it before the conferences of tomorrow. But it's a recent arrival, they had a placeholder until lately.

For the appearance, it seems it's a continuation of the Wii dashboard with some elements from the 3DS one. Not a revolution as some may have expected, but it's doing its job + may not be final yet. Some services are not accessible to devs, like miiverse.

Hopefully Game Notes, Friends List, Web Browser and Notifications all accessible whilst in a game. I love that aspect of the 3DS dash.

EDIT: Thanks for the update.

Nintendo do seem to be only showing the black version in emails advertising the conference / Nintendo Direct.

Nothing uses an extra controller though. I could see the pro pad, or Wii Remote + Nunchuck bundled in, but not another tablet.

Yea no, Borderlands 2 is definitely not gonna happen. He was very likely referring specifically to Black Ops 2 (because from his perspective: "you" = hardcore market = Call of Duty audience)

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I'm guessing Ideaman is referring to what the player sees on the Gamerpad.

Nothing uses an extra controller though. I could see the pro pad, or Wii Remote + Nunchuck bundled in, but not another tablet.

If NintendoLand is bundled, I imagine a Motionplus controller will be as well. So far, the Zelda and Metroid games require it.

 

[Pineconn]

True. Black only would be interesting (and would slightly piss me off, since I was leaning toward white).

Ah well, we'll find out very soon!

 

[Coolwhip]

They just use black to differentiate it from the Wii. I'm pretty sure white will be an option.

Madden probably uses two gamepads.

Give me that activity log WiiU dashboard!

It's an option on their website (along with black).

Unfortunately, that is probably a feature that will be saved for Madden 2014. I would love to be wrong though.....

maybe something cool for us? ...naaah

No.

Games that support two GamePads are months and months away. Confirmed at E3 in the same sentence that announced the 2-pad support.

Ooooo.
Speaking of services, I hope Nintendo officially announces Gamecube Virtual Console games or at least support for them later on.

 

[D-e-f-]

nothing to do with EA ...see above.

 

[big_erk]

I think because discussion is split into specs threads and then various nintendo Direct hype threads

All of this Hype cannot be contained in one thread!
