Also, I told you this thread would close on Friday.
Haha. You did call the over.
Crazy that we're very likely to see a sixth thread before the press conference. Imagine where we would be if the new people, HT, and GPW were posting in the first thread.
Haha. I like this one. I think we should go with this one.

I just can't believe that we made it through the first thread with what little we had.
I mean, compare what we know now to what we knew then. People complain about having no news. But we've had lots over the past three threads. In the first... we had E3. That was it. No leaks, no hints, nothing.
Perfect. Though I like the look of V for five more.
Hopefully what Ideaman is teasing is indeed about the system supporting two Wii U controllers at the same time.
lmao.. that was so awkward!
My little heart can't take this anymore
lmao.. that was so awkward!

E3 Nintendo Conference OT: GAF... might be okay. ***500 Internal Server Error*** Well, no. Probably not now.

If we're going with a Groundhog Day title it would be:
Wii U Speculation Thread V: Don't Post Angry!
We've had people working on the system posting about it.
We've had industry insiders posting hints and facts.
We've gotten confirmation for a lot of internal Nintendo stuff (Monolith, NN, NFC, yadda yadda).
Hell, we even got a leaked trailer for a Wii U game!
We've had lots of stuff to go off of, if you actually pay attention.

The title situation for this one really was a colossal fuck-up all around.

Groundhog Day references are awesome, gets my vote too.
Next OP should chronicle all the regulars in the thread in this style and fashion!

agree. opportunity missed.
Not to mention thread III and thread IV were both open simultaneously for a week.

I have a new #1.
People talk about this and the last thread being slow when it falls to the second page. I remember the first thread falling to like the fifth or sixth (probably further) page before a post would happen and talks of closing it and waiting till E3. Also I was using the first thread to re-acclimate myself to tech talk as much as trying to speculate on Wii U.

Well I should have a gif ready for the next thread (;

I want the option to have user defined themes the same way that the PSP and PS3 can have. I'm a big fan of Fallout and both my PSP and PS3 look like Pip-Boys lol. Just download one file from the internet, pop it in and BAM! Instant Pip-Boy!
That's the main thing that annoys me about my 360 - no free, user-defined themes.
I resolve to learn the art of gif making by the end of the year. It's gotta be done. I have so many ideas, and such little talent..
Also, an edit for a new title idea >>>
Wii U Speculation Thread V: {Insert Mod's Chosen Title *Here*}
{I hope they laugh at that..
}You and me both. At least it'll give me some motivation to screw around in Photoshop again.

Grabbing the vids, cropping them and creating the actual gifs is no problem, it's creating a nice banner text or other tricks that takes a bit of practice.

Photoshopping is what I need to learn. I need to find some good tutorials.

I raise you with:
Wii-U Speculation Thread V: Our Bodies Are So Ready They Don't Even Exist Anymore.
I've been paying attention. I just feel like I could have casualled watched that leaked Rayman Legend Video in April and in two minutes known pretty much every substantial detail I learned about the Wii-U after E3 2011 (which I've spent countless hours trying to find).
Considering all the major events that have passed by, we still know very little IMO. A lot less then I thought we would at least. I doubt even the most pessimistic of us Nintendo followers would of believed we would have such a information draught since last E3.

Just think: If things get really crazy, we could be on Thread VII by June 5.

Not a terribly huge amount, but some nice little gems:
#18805: Unconfirmed possible Google employee allegedly in-the-know waxing positive (if vaguely) about the Wii U OS layer (oh, fine… partly confirmed at #18872)
#18993: Really nice summary of Nintendo's former "Nintendo ES" operating system project and how the lead programmer went from Nintendo to Google, and ES is currently co-copyrighted by Nintendo and Google.
#19130: Nintendo patent showing charging dock for DRC
#19434: An interview of Renegade Kid with a little tidbit about the Wii U (they know nothing)
#19466: Wii U SDK has been upgraded to v2.04 in the past few days (up from March/April's v2.03)
I wouldn't mind seeing that happen this time around. It would feel right, especially as the usual pre-E3 leaks begin to show-up, fueling.. new hype.
Also.. the 3rd of May in 2006 was when Ubisoft issued a press release confirming a certain title for Launch Day for the Wii.
Ubisoft said:
Thus "Speculation" in the thread's title

That was back when E3 was still in May, right?

These are really cool. It's like we can "race" this time versus last time in terms of how news was released.

Guys, i thought I was excited before. I dont post as often as you guys, but i always have a tab on this thread, either at work or at home.
I understand giddy hype. A week before DE:HR, i became obsessed. Knowing that game was coming so close ruined games for me until release. But i had yet to feel that way for the Wii U. Its a nintendo console, its a no brainer i will own it, unlike DE:HR of which was a mystical unknown property to me. I barely knew anything about the series even at that point.
But ideamans post that there is something major that nintendo has kept secret even from major partners, got me to the next level. It gave me that mystery element i needed to go super saiyan. Thoughts and dreams are running rampant through my head. The idea of a major bomb, like android on my screen in game with all the features that brings, has got me crazy excited even if it doesnt pan out. The kind of excitement that usually only comes the weekend before E3, or Christmas eve when i was younger.
So thank you WUST gang. This ride has been amazing.

I'll keep trying to bring 'em.. but in 2006, Nintendo had their historic conference/blowout on the 9th of May, so our time for comparison is running out.These are really cool. It's like we can "race" this time versus last time in terms of how news was released.
In one week, it will have been six years since The Conference That Changed Everything ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T79ruFPtjg ). Incredible.
Thanks Ace, was driving me nuts not being able to find that out.

Impossible Scenario Question Time - Choose Wisely

Ok, guys, would you rather:
A - see the Nintendo E3 press conference 3 days early (Sunday before conference) - BUT you may not view or post on GAF for the entire week
B - see the conference the same time as every one else, just like the other years
C - E3 sensory deprivation until Friday night (including GAF, etc.) - BUT you can play two of the Wii U games firsthand

What if the Wii Fit U video has a wall blowing up, showing that it was really a Black Ops 2 video. Terry Crews will come in and save the day.
(Prepare for Draw Something on Wii U!)
I know that this seems weird, but I think I'd choose B. It's part of the whole experience, honestly.

Exactly.
Half the fun of LOST was the discussion afterward.
Half the fun of E3 is experiencing the blowups, anger, and meltdowns firsthand. The news are about games i wont be able to play for months. People freaking out, posting awesome gifs, seeing new memes be born, that stuff is enjoyed in the moment.
