So a developer in Santa Monica has been showing off the Wii U version of their game to certain journalists in the area this week.

Santa Monica, eh?

Hmm.. Activision? Treyarch? Call of Duty?

That's the most obvious guess. I don't know of any others off the top of my head..
(and beaten like.. I dunno. Something beaten badly. A dirty rug. yeah.)

i dunno, I have this feeling that Micro is planning a blowout of some sort for GTA5 in their conference (even though its a multiplat) ,,,,,,but Nintendo securing R* at their conference AND announcing GTA5 ,,,,I swear I would cry like a little girl T_T , RE6 is possibility but not as a launch title, more like 6 months after

Rockstar really doesn't show up to E3 anymore. They'll let companies announce their games at E3, but they aren't interested in showing off trailers, info or media. That's definitely the case for GTA. So it would be a pretty boring announcement for Sony or MS to make. Everyone expects it to be on the PS3 and 360. That's why i'm expecting it to be a Nintendo announcement. It would be a big deal if they managed to announce it for the Wii U first. I think it would also signal a turning point for Nintendo with Western third party devs.

I assume the game looks just the same as it will do on other consoles. Interesting part would be if the briefing included any word on online.

Funny thing is of a list of 3rd parties. I actually have more respect for Treyarch and think they would actually take the time to make changes to the Wii U one and not just a quick portjob

I completely agree Treyarch IMHO is a great developer the only ones that tried to push the Wii other than Nintendo and companies that depended on the Wii for survival.

I wonder if the charger for the tablet controller is a usb cord. If it is, that means a driver for the PC can be made!

Strike Force missions are like team-based multiplayer scrimmages — played by one player. The player is able to shift between all available soldiers and robots on his team on a battlefield. You could hop from a rifleman's perspective to a drone to a C.L.A.W. in a matter of seconds, and omniscient overhead view will allow you to give, what looks like, real-time strategy commands. Send this guy here, direct this drone to flank from the right.

The goal is to kill the opposing A.I.-controlled team and complete a series of objectives in any order. When a person dies or a bot is destroyed, it is gone, and you inhabit who or whatever remains. Run out of people or time, and the mission is lost.

We see a Strike Force mission on a shipping dock in Singapore. The mission is to capture the A, B and C points.

The Treyarch employee running the demo makes quick work of the opposition. One moment he's a soldier, the next he's a C.L.A.W. He's flying a drone, now he's a mobile rocket launcher called the Autonomous Ground Robot, or A.G.R.
He pulls out to the commander view, and we see the squad, controlled by the computer on his behalf, maintaining status quo, taking cover, and making careful moves against the enemy.

He zips back into a soldier and calls in air strike to take out boat, completing mission. Lamia laughs. You could play the mission this way, or you could just play as a single soldier. It's totally up to the player, they say.

In a way, it looks like single-player multiplayer. One person controlling an entire team in a game of domination.

Pikmin I would hope isnt what they are anchoring on but that said Pikmin being a launch title is a fantastic idea as it will give it a better chance to reach wider audiences. People are much more willing to experiment and buy odd titles at launch
Click to expand...

My prediction has always been that Pikmin will be a Q1 2013 game, not a launch game. If it does come out at launch like people expect though, it probaly is a good launch game, but I think if it's intended to be the "big" Nintendo, system selling launch game that would probaly hurt the Wii U's initial install base, it is only around a 2M units sold game, if I remember. The people that would be content with Pikmin being the only Nintendo game at launch are likely people that are big enough Nintendo fans that they would buy a Wii U at launch no matter what (like me).

I think after what happened with the 3DS/Vita I expect Nintendo to have a very good launch window, I would be surprised if they expect third-party games to carry them, having Pikmin be thier big game would mean that they think, third-party will carry them, or people will buy the hardware just because of the sub-screen, but I think they know this is different then with the Wii where the hardware could move itself.

I really don't know what will be their first-party offerings, but I do expect it to be a really solid lineup, every Nintendo executive has come out and said the 3DS lineup was a mistake, plus we saw Miyamoto say that the Vita wasn't an attractive product because it didn't have the software, I doubt they would then go and half-ass thier launch/launch window software lineup.

IMO Lego City Stories is a perfect launch game for a Nintendo platform. It'll appeal to both adults and children, it's a strong IP in a popular genre, it's an exclusive and it's being published by Nintendo so it'll certainly be at the forefront of the Wii U advertising campaign in one way or another.

The fact that Nintendo is publishing also means that they'll have some say in the development of the game so you just know it'll be as polished as any other Nintendo title.
