I don't know anythhing about the monolith project, but for this E3 i'm expecting something like a WiiU port of Skyrim. It would be' an epic announcement for a Nintendo console

Pretty sure that the team on that it's Monolith's crappy B-team. duckroll seems to think so anyway, and he'd know.

Well, "game made to rival Western tech" does away with any localization concerns.

Monolith's 3DS game started development (as far as we know) well after the Wii U project, correct?
So it was Fallout, not Elder Scrolls. Well, he was most likely talking about the technology, and Elder Scrolls and Fallout use the same engine...

WiiU cases will be the blue color of the new U logo.

Personally I'm sick of the whole 10 year cycle thing. Can we please go back to 5/6 year cycles.
10 year gets us 600 dollar consoles that by year 6/7 are begging to be replaced. 5/6 year cycles gets us 300 dollar consoles that are replaced by the time they're looking old.

Yeah, I really don't see NoA passing on Monolith's next game.

He just said Fallout developer Bethesda, so he's actually talking about Bethesda (according to Andriasang).

That would be cool. Kinda wish they'd be small and compact like the 3DS/DS cases.
Right, but they may not show a game that may not be released for another 2 years here.
For Nintendos sake they need to have their biggest guys present. New Super Mario bros Mii is not going to sell me a WiiU
Rumour time: Wii U CPU said to support 8 threads, is 20X faster than Wii
So, what do you think guys?

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
But why? The PS2 didn't see a drop off in support when the Xbox and Gamecube launched a year later.

Unfortunately for you, a New Super Mario Bros Mii will sell just about everybody else outside of GAF a Wii U.

If all we see from Nintendo is New Super Mario Bros Mii and Pikmin 3 I'm going to drive to a Gamestop just to knock over a magazine rack.

I have no clue what this means technically but 20 times faster than the Wii doesn't sound like enough.
I have nothing to base it on.
How wrong am I, bg?
I believe Monolith' Wii U game probably will be at E3. And considering the critical success of Xenoblade, I hope it'll be at the actual press conference this time, not hidden on their press server like Xenoblade was back in 2009. They really earned it. I consider Monolith one of Nintendo's top studios these days.
Three teams. The X Zone team, the dudes under Honne at the recently established Kyoto studio working on something for 3DS, and the Xenoblade guys at Monolith Tokyo doing the Wii U game.

Yes, Monolith is going to copy even the bad parts of Bethesda games. THEY HAVE TO STAY AUTHENTIC.

Paper Mario 3DS, Animal Crossing 3DS, Kid Icarus were all at e3 2010, in some form.

I thought maybe a while back it was confirmed to only have 3 cores.

I have a feeling that won't happen since that would make them look quite a bit like Vita cases.
EDIT: Throw in a picture of a Vita case just for the hell of it.
I assume theWiiU cases will be the blue color of the new U logo.
at the end of your post means you are being sarcastic, but in case you are not: If that were true you wouldn't be able to see the "U" logo and it'd just be a blue Wii.Again, I'm not sure why people are expecting New Super Mario Bros. Mii. Is it because of the reply from an NOA rep? All we know is Mario will be shown for Wii U, but the evidence points more towards a new 3D entry:
- The 2D team (EAD 4) is working on NSMB 2 for 3DS and most likely Pikmin as the Pikmin director (Shigefumi Hino) is part of this group. I doubt this team is working on NSMB 2, Pikmin AND NSMB Mii
- The Mario Galaxy team (EAD Tokyo 1) has released nothing since the original game in 2007 (except for the OOT 3D collaboration with GREZZO). My guess is we will see their next game at E3 and it will be the Mario game to which Miyamoto was referring.

If nothing else, they will most likely detail more games so it doesn't just cover the launch.
Not to mention, most of their teams have to have been working on stuff for the past 2 years
Damnit to hell

Pretty sure it wont be there.

I have a feeling it is there. Haven't they had almost 2 years to work on it?

Which would be a perfectly reasonable argument, were Nintendo's line: "Our goal is to replicate Wii's success, this time with an HD console."
But that's not the goal Nintendo has set for Wii U. They've clearly set a goal of expanding their reach in the core/enthusiast market beyond the Mario/Zelda faithful, and while they may well fall short of it, it's more than fair to judge them accordingly.

I am 90% confident a 3D Mario is going to be at E3, regardless of whether NSMBM is a full product or not. That EAD Tokyo team hasn't just been sitting on its hands for the past 4 years.
There is no rational reason for this to be so.

Very true. I guess I just thought it would make more sense to reveal the game at a Japanese event since it would most likely be released there first, and RPGs tend to sell better there. However, that could change if they make it more of a western RPG.
Didnt it take like 3 years for Retro to show a new game between MP3 and Donkey Kong? They did Prime trilogy but that wasnt a lot of work like making a new game.

Well DK wasn't revealed until three years after Corruption. But I don't see any benefit to waiting until next year to reveal their new title.
Yeah... no. The IBM 710, or more precisely IBM pSeries Power 710 Express, is a real, full-blow POWER7 in a 2u rackmount case, not a specific processor. The CPU driving that thing is powerful as fuck. So powerful in fact that going by what lherre wrote, Microsoft would need alien technology and liquid nitrogen cooling to top it. We're talking about the most powerful CPU available right now, something that makes an Intel Xeon Nehalem look like a pocket calculator.

but this is a console launch, nintendo looking to make an impact, it's totally different circumstances. I expect them to show things even if they are a year out.

It was about 3 years between the release of Corruption and the release of DKC Returns. I'd have to think they'll have something to show at E3. It most likely won't be released until next year, though.
Ok. More serious stuff now.

But he completely ignored the fact that they'll have other core-targeted games there. They could easily do a 2D-Mario (although I now lean toward 3D Mario being their game) to bring in the casuals and have a bunch of games attractive to GAF/"core" there as well.

what? didn't the same team make Galaxy 2 and 3D Land?

That's group 2. Group 1 has only worked on some Zelda port/remake stuff.

I fully expect 3 Mario platformers this E3. NSMB2 for 3DS, NSMBM for WiiU, and 3D Mario HD for WiiU.
The New Super Marios will probably be showcased together to highlight 3DS/WiiU connectivity.

Why wouldnt you be able to see it?I assume the
For Super Mario Galaxy, Takao Shimizu was the producer and Yoshiaki Koizumi the director. Sometime after the release of Galaxy 1, Koizumi became the head of Tokyo group 2 and was the producer for both Galaxy 2 and Mario 3D Land with Koichi Hayashida serving as director.
