Would you really let your warped Nintendo fanboyism stop you from playing great, new Nintendo games?

so many butts pre-emptively hurting. I wonder what it'll be like when it actually comes out.

SEGA SAMMY?
regardless of who sega is today I am talking about where the IPs went they should have focused on one platform even without the old talent the focus would have helped a lot... It does not have to be Nintendo it could have been SONY or MS but focus on one platform and allow your fans to find you.
Which SEGA deved that sweet F-Zero GX / AX?
I'd take my cue from Miyamoto if they were to go to MS or Sony.
(I was referring to the "Nintendo stops making everything" scenario on that "I'll stop entirely" statement.)
Sounds like some of the crap I've seen on GAF.

Are you kidding?
Reggie: But before you leave, I'd like you to take one last look at the new direction… of the Wii U.
*buncha younger dudes trot in*
Reggie: We've assembled a joint team from LucasArts and Nintendo's new Factor 5 studio to bring you the latest title in the Star Wars Universe.
*projector screen lights up with intense scene of ships flying around with lasers and shit*
Reggie: Unlike recent efforts on the market, we plan to deliver the truly rewarding game experience… which fans have been clamoring for… since nearly a decade ago.
*gigantic explosion that aforementioned dev team mock-reacts to*
Reggie: Star Wars: Rogue Armada… for the Nintendo Wii U will guide you… along exciting outer space environments… through intense planetary trenches… in incredible online combat… with up to thirty-two players.
*some particularly impressive looking planet-based level with some rather rad effects plays*
Reggie: And best of all… this amazing experience… will involve absolutely no dancing with stormtroopers.
*a storm trooper explodes on screen; it's pretty brutal looking*
Reggie: Thank you.
Nintendo would make bank on this. Nintendo fans in particular have a particular soft spot for the flight-based Star Wars titles on the 64 and Gamecube. They'd ignore any rot the series may have seen in recent years.
Well, I think you're making an assumption that Nintendo would be making great games. My hypothetical would clearly put Nintendo in the driver's seat, but if Nintendo were taken over with a bit more hostility I could see a case where Nintendo's game quality would drop at the behest of their new masters. Like Rare. Or Sega.
I am losing trust in you, picking such an easy given as fact
phew ! >< I thought you liked my hints
But really, before haptic, 3D screen, more advanced rumble, built-in sensor, DA big thing about the Wii U will be its software layer, all the applications, the services available. I know, for a lot of people, it's less sexy to have new toys through virtual, immaterial manners rather than with plastic-smelling physical features. But it will be reallyyyy sexy.

uh..
Well, also consider LucasArts had about 4 years to get the idea of a motion controlled lightsaber game into their heads and when it finally clicked, their choice was the Kinect and as a result, made a game whose main draw is nigh unplayable and the best part of which is a dance minigame. It may be out of Nintendo's hands.
lol that's not nsfw is it? harrumph, i'll edit it

yes WiiU apps will be glorious that is why I am hoping the screen got an upgrade on that uPad or Padlet as you call it

I don't know if it is...just seemed underage, and you could see what was between the legs.

Is this sort of thing better characterized as purely irrational hatred of Nintendo, or as a lasting consequence of years of Nintendo not giving a fuck what Western core/enthusiast gamers think or want? I tend more toward the latter, personally, not that there isn't some irrationality at play.
Pretty much. Nintendo could go out there with something one step above a Lite Brite and they'd be pronounced as exceeding expectations.
Saw the article. Quick to jump on the "ha-ha-ha *twirl mustache* Nintendo is still not powerful enough! Ha-ha-ha!" conclusion, am I right?

I don't know, this systematic reporting process of every statement of "analysts" about the Wii U these late months is getting so old imo. There have been 2000 pages dedicated to that, and maybe 5 about gamedesign ideas possible thanks to the Wii U new setup. It's a shame.
We need a fresh tempest to rejuvenate this sector, from the press & public relation management to the gamedesign in itself.
2012 videogames don't match at all what many of us envisioned & hoped for it, twenty years ago.
I wonder if this supposed high tablet cost is somewhat due to there being some kind of processor / storage in the unit itself -- Enough that would allow apps and most VC games to be taken on the go?
Really?they got that from the no fat change comment???fantastic ;D

I am curious to see how Nintendo balances the WiiMote and uPad for the WiiU
I know you'll need your motion plus for old Wii games BC but what about new games?
will we see WiiU titles that ignore the pad controller in favor of motion plus plus?

A single player quasi-horror game. You are being hunted. Your character is psychic in that it can see through the eyes of the creature hunting it. You control yourself running around in a town/forest/maze/etc via the television screen in third-person, Zelda-style, and you can see the creature's progress from its point of view (like the invisible things in Evil Dead II) on the controller screen. The creature is unstoppable, and it will kill you unless you escape. Use the DRC as a way to guess where the creature is and how close it might be to you while moving your guy on the TV to hunt for an exit or tools that can help you to escape.
There, you go. Happy already?
Thank you for pushing me towards thinking of stuff. I usually don't like my own gameplay ideas, but I think I chanced upon one that actually appeals to me
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I actually hope Nintendo keep the Wii U name. Anyhting else will be spun as Nintendo Lack Confidence.

think full amazon / dd support, steam, onlive, origin, hulu, netflix, google play type things
it does not have to be an Apple Apps Store killer it just needs to have enough to keep that uPad in your hands for longer periods of time if you can get much more content streamed to it
You're welcome
And i love this idea. It must be well implemented to work, with an "easy" way for the player to guess/know where the creature is (maybe each stage will start with a 15 seconds overall view/traveling of the area for you to memorize roughly the settings before the survival trip begins).

It has more to do with rumors lately that the wiiu is weak. Plus the ds, 3ds and wii were not powerful compared to sony and MS products. Most in the gaming media seem to think the wiiu is around the ps360.

A two player, two DRC battle simulation. Each person holds a Remote in their dominant hand and the DRC in their off hand. A special strap or attachment allows you to hold it so that its screen is facing your opponent. The Remote is your laser gun, the DRC is an "force-shield". You try to shoot at your opponent while trying to keep your DRC poised in a way that it blocks your opponent's shot. On the TV, a really nicely rendered third-person approximation of what's going on is shown from various, sweeping angles with amazing camera and art direction. The controller screens provide a very basic hint showing how weakened your opponent is. Whether or not you hit your opponent depends on how close their DRC's sensor strip is (especially vertically) to where you were pointing the remote.
This one is a clever idea that won't really go anywhere but could be fun for some. It's rare in a video game that you actually face your opponent, so this would feel more like a realistic confrontation.

No, for two reasons.
1. That would cut into the 3DS.
2. That would lead to confusion of why they can't do that for all games on the system.
