At least Mario should be a safe bet that it is a good game. Also ACIII seemed very solid at gamescom, for me on par with the other versions

where did you pre-order blops2?
Edit: Anyone else had a go of Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge yet?
The Wii U version has higher res textures as well, by virtue of running on a console with 1gb of ram available for games.

Did you get a chance to try zombi?
Is Nintendo helping out on the enhancements with this port, or is it all Team Ninja?
Yeah Im definantly putting in Nintendoland first thing and seeing if my sister wants to play...while browsing gaf suspending the game and adding you guys as friends because we got it like that!
Sounds like a good plan. I'll do the same, except seeing if my brother wants to play, haha.

I didn't, I'll just buy it in store on Launch. Here in Austria there's not much need to preorder games.
Yeah I played it at Gamescom (E3 Demo). The graphics aren't anything to write home about, but the gameplay had me hooked. With the recent footage shown, the game looks better than what I played and I expect the one bite kill mechanic will really work in the final game, as it was kind of inconsequential in the Demo to lose a character, since you didn't lose anything really.
The controls are fine. They are a bit slow, but the game isn't Call of Duty, so that's allright. I just hope that in the final game the massive aim assist that was present in the demo is gone. It actually detracted from the gameplay. Melee and shooting require a sense of rythm, like old school RE2 where you could kill Zombies with 3 shots if you timed the bullets right instead of spamming the trigger using up to 6 or 8 bullets.
The cricket bat was my weapon of choice though and killing with it really needs good timing and spacial awareness.
Gyro aiming was great, and I truly hope that we can use it in other shooters for sniping etc...

1. Zombi-U, Colonial Marines, Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3
2. Really not sure with what's been announced so far...
3. Legend of Zelda Four Swords (five swords?). Its still Nintendo's best multiplayer game, and it even helped pioneer asyncronous play. I can imagine all sorts of nutty creativity here.

I think the best thing right now is to wait for reviews for anything not Nintendo made. Day one Nintendo Land for me but the rest I am waiting on, especially third party multiplatform games.

I do too. Looks fantastic.
Apparantly Nintendo is helping out.
Speaking of Tecmo-Koei... is Fist of the North Star 2 bound for a western release?

I think a few days back I must have read in another thread something hinting at Nintendo been involved in the development of NG3WiiU.

Nintendo helping out in what exactly? Maybe just helping them learn their way around the WiiU?
did we have news of this recently?

Looks like Batman gets put on the wait and see list. Which is fine, I'm only like 2/3s of the way through Asylum. Still a shame though, it could have been so much more. At this point I don't know what else I want to go with. I'm getting NSMBU and Darksiders 2 for sure (and Nintendo land with the system). Outside of those 2 I'm not sure what else I'm going to go with.

Awesome news. We've heard a few say the latest build it notably better than the e3. Not just visually, but collision as well. Can't wait to check it out.
You may have just sold me a copy. Blindly I might add. A little of nintendo's magic could go a LONG way in that game.
DaSorcerer7

Any hands on impressions of darksiders 2 yet? I might replace arkham city with this on the pre-order list.
That's something we don't know anything about.

Pretty sure when they announced NG3 was being published by Nintendo they said they were helping out with development.

All aboard the hype bus to October Nintendo Direct. We can take the long way around and have lots of parties.

Febraury 2013, at least for NA and PS360.
I saw a TGS trailer claiming this.
Don't know if PAL and Wii U info will be similar (I think so)

There's a short but overall positive hands-on from a gaffer who's tried it at a recent Wii U event in Frankfurt, just search for the "Back from Wii U experience" thread, sorry I can't copy and past the link of the post I'm referring to right now
believe it or not I'm posting from my Wii
I'm pretty sure that all third party collaborations are overseen by producers in SPD.

One of the reasons I'm not planning on buying any consoles until at least a year after release. I have 0 faith in developers and publishers to not try and fuck over the consumers in some way.
I played last Friday, posted my hands-on impressions (Spanish).
Looks like it's the most "mature" and "hardcore" version, period. It adds difficulty, it adds Ayane's hotness, it adds dismemberment, it adds weapons changing & level progression.
It looks similar though (some bland textures too), but framerate and pace were cool compared to other games (like SEGA racing...). I see myself playing this a bit more than the original. Maybe up until the end

Wait, "SiNG PARTY" is a launch title? I don't think I've seen any coverage of playable, never mind the fact that for a song based game, not a single word about tracklist and such has been forthcoming at all...
Wii U launching with 23 game in NA. http://www.gamespot.com/news/wii-u-launching-with-23-games-6397198

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't someone from Rocksteady say that the entire demo was just dumped onto the ram in order to have a demo ready? Would that cause some of these issues as it was clearly not optimized to take advantage of the RAM in a meaningful way?
The person he was responding to said that. Kamiya just said "yes".

No, if it were completely in RAM the engine would display the textures immediately. THis is a case of complete lazyness as they successfully recreated early UE3 games texture load problems.
It's mind boggling that something like that would even happen in 2012.
And even ignoring the graphical problems, the games controls were a mere dump job from the 360 layout, complete with button layout and analog to gyro sensitivity.
Dreadfull.
TVii should be available on the other side of the Atlantic too.

The impressions from the NY event for it seemed really positive.

No Rayman is a surprise, but I honestly think it's better for the game. Come later, not day and date with Mario.
Dang it. I hadn't preorded it yet, but was going to get it if it turned out is wasn't crap. Looks like I'll a little extra money left over...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
One part of me hopes Killer is Dead gets a Wii U port, cos that would be dope.
Another part of me suspects it would be a total disaster, and look/run worse than the 360 build. And that would be lame.
Grasshopper, do good. Cos I like yer games.

Wii U Zelda really needs to do this.
Doesn't have to be futuristic, but it should totally have the gamepad be the companion (randomly yelling out helpful things, and occasionally being used for some puzzles) while the player controls Link with the Wiimote+ a la Skyward Sword.
I am really interested in Arkham City too.
Although I haven't pre-ordered and will only buy if the reviews are solid (i.e., they don't mess it up).
I don't know why anyone would expect the Wii U Experience build to be different than the E3/Gamescom build - just like all of the other things they are showing (as far as I know).
Not to say that it will be fixed, just that I wouldn't take that as a sign of doom.
I suddenly realized the usefulness of the Game Pad Universal Remote..
IMO, way too many expensive HDTV's have really horrible-looking, "generic plastic slab" remote controls. This could kinda solve that issue, if they manage to include just a couple extra buttons, such as a menu key and directional buttons for menus.

Isn't Suda51 a total Nintendo fanboy?
Would you really think given the opportunity to port the game to Wii U that he'd totally botch that port?

He does indeed like Nintendo, but he's a company CEO that has had less and less to do with each game, and gets way more credit than he deserves (note: I do think he's a very talented and great asset to the company. I have a signed copy of Killer7 for a reason!). He really hasn't been involved really heavily in the production of any game since No More Heroes.
The onus on performance and port quality would be on their programmers, and the project's working budget. Grasshopper's software history isn't exactly know for outstanding quality in terms of performance. And Killer Is Dead will be an Unreal Engine 3 game. It's the worst combination possible!

Is this set for early October or later?
Huh? Is that a question? Or a statement of fact? If it's a statement of fact, what is the source? Is this because of the ME3 Trilogy thing?
I'm exaggerating, but I'm dumbfounded at EA not putting the trilogy on Wii U. EatChildren has a great post about this.
