Wii U Speculation Thread The Third: Casting Dreams in The Castle of Miyamoto
- Thread starter AceBandage
- Start date
Well, Rangers can also be wood elf bowmen.
Yeah.. but from the artwork I get more of a "pee in the radiator" vibe as opposed to a "merry men of the forest" vibe.
But I wouldn't be opposed to either one.
(and yes.. I always play as a Bosmer. Great sneaks!)

How nice. I recommend Sofmap first, they've got good prices and stock not only games but a huge array of electronics. There's also AsoBitCity, but it's not as fun as it used to be when it wasn't part of Laox.I'm gonna be living in Tokyo from September, so I'll be in the line of otaku in Akihabara
You're right... I never thought about it, but it IS what everyone wants them to do!

Thank you! I previously lived in Kyoto which had one branch of Bic Camera and that was pretty much it...Rösti;36059457 said:
Nintendo likes to launch new consoles on Sundays. If you go with Amazon, I'm guessing you won't have your Wii U until the day after launch, at the earliest. It's rare that they will ship something to arrive before it's release date.

See, I wonder why some people think something like Star Tropics is even possible. Most people don't even know what that is.
The majority of people seem to want Zelda or Metroid.

Portal could be epic with proper uPad/gyro integration.

Some news, MoSys' 1T-SRAM (or other technologies from that company) will not be represented in the Wii U:
Now, the 1T-SRAM technology licensing has changed, as I wrote here, as Invensas purchased a greater number of patents from MoSys in 2011. This may have lead to Nintendo ditching this technology. What it means for backwards compatibility, seeing as Wii incorporates the 1T-SRAM technology, I don't know. However, the secrets are starting to unfold. Now, I wonder what company Nintendo has chosen for RAM solutions.

Hmm, hasn't it been stated that they are planning complete backwards compatibility?
I have no idea what studio of theirs would be best suited for such a title. Course they could always outsource.
As for this ram business, it is indeed confusing.
pretty sure, yes
Yes, but I just realized something sneaky Nintendo could pull.
Nintendo could pull a Vita and make people have to re-buy their Wii games by digitally downloading them. Iwata did say people would be able to digitally download retail games on Wii U.
The same way Xbox 360 did it too with that Xbox 1 classics section on Xbox Live Arcade.
Eh. Doesn't seem likely. Nintendo like to resell old games, sure, but they also love backwards compatibility.
Oh yeah I agree with you. I'm just saying if Nintendo did radically change some of the tech in the Wii U to a point where Wii backwards compatibility is no longer possible, this could be the route they could go for.

Been prying myself away from this thread in order to do some actual gaming. I finally broke down and started Batman: AC, which I got on sale for 360 over the weekend. Right now, it's looking like Assassin's Creed 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3 are gonna be Wii U 3rd party pickups for me. Perhaps Darksiders 2 as well, depending on how much I enjoy the first, which is in my PS3 backlog atm.

Not a tech guy
is that a good or bad thing?
That should be good.
I hope it's outsourced. The shooting in MP series was by far series' weakest point. Plus I want a Retro game with heavy emphasis on exploration and adventure.
Nonetheless, I'm happy that now Nintendo got covered TPS(KI) and possibly FPS(tLR) genres. They need to enrich their portfolio of IPs in terms of genre variety.
I purchased the PC version of Darksiders and I just forgot about it. I like the little Zelda nods (first weapon pick-up, a little tune plays while picking up a weapon/item/area unlock etc.) but I don't know... everytime I start it up again I stop playing. Got about eight hours in the game.

Same here. Every time I play, I enjoy it at first, but then it just loses all appeal. Probably because of the button mashing combat.
Why?
let's do it
because they need to emulate the games now...? *feels stupid*

So if the current rumor about the next xbox are true, I wonder if Nintendo will be able to take advantage of a potential full year before competition arrives.
They'll need some exclusives outside of their own stuff.

Like in E3 2011, the ball was in Nintendo's court, but it didn't exactly live up to expectations with its fairly underwhelming conceptual unveiling. Still, there were some good surprises to be had. Hopefully, Nintendo will be ready to kick ass and take names next time.

I wonder what this means for Epic. It'd be hilarious if Nintendo winds up as the only one with a UE4 console for a year or so.

It definitely shouldn't be underwhelming.
They'll have plenty to show, even if it won't be stuff for launch.
As for confusing or pissing people off.
Well, this is GAF. Those two will happen regardless.

I'd really like it if the conference this year was 2 hours long.

We say this every year, and it never is.
Regardless of hardware reveals or tons of games.
Nintendo will keep it to less than 90 minutes, like always.
Which is fine, really.
They don't need long on stage demonstrations. That's for the show floor.
They need clip reels, announcements, explanations and some good old fashioned hype up videos.

If two hours it'll be like this: 1 hour conference + 1 hour Nintendo direct containing footages of games and commentary from developers.

I posted this in the other thread but I'll do it here.
With the news that the 720 will not be announced at this e3 or shown in any form, who was it that put the Unreal Engine 4 under NDA then? Could it really have been nintendo?

There's a few reasons they keep it short.
1. Money. They are renting the fucking Kodak Hall. That is not cheap.
2. Very few people in the press want to sit and scribble for 2 hours.
3. Because they can say what they want in a short amount of time. There's no reason to go overboard on the details. Again, that's what the Show Floor is for.
NVIDIA, since it was shown on an unreleased product.

Well it's not like they threw an underwhelming show on purpose. They literally had nothing to show. This E3 should be different because we know devs had been working on software for a while and Nintendo should have more finalized details as the system is launching this year
Do people honestly believe the product manager of Xbox? Showing of the neXtbox will happen at E3. They're not announcing it because they want to sell some 360 units in the next few months.
Derp forgot about that obvious fact
