wait which one hit goku in the face with a rock, and hit goku in the face with his fist, and nearly impaled vegeta to death with a sword.

But who will fill the good FPS combat void, since Retro clearly isn't all that adapt at it?*

They would be worth at least 7 Radditz.

I think they'll include a Wii Remote in the box. Mostly b/c, if you want to play multiplayer and you need a classic controller but don't previously own one, the cost of entry is $50. Will they really expect consumers to buy a Wii Remote and a Classic Controller?
Now, if they release a stand alone Bluetooth WaveBird 2, then who cares.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
The first one seems to be exclusive to both/either the 360 or 720. I guess there could be hope for the next three (if they actually come out) because the contract seems to have those currently slated for 720, PS4, and PC. Contracts can always be renegotiated, right...

Since we are currently bashing Retro let me say : Fuck those rocket barrel levels in DKCR.
I'm nearly done with the game and I hope there are no more : X
Not sure if Nintendo is willing to spend that much. I heard it was just going to be 5 and a half Radditz.
see i don't know what happens here.
i thought both halo and metroid prime had boring first-person stuff. metroid prime's was less boring because there were puzzles and stuff, but it was still overall boring.
halo's multiplayer is its saving grace, and apparently the only thing people really care about anyway.
thank god valve is there to give me what i want that one time eight years ago.

You're a bad person that says bad things and is basically bad.
I think.. the whole year of silence was stupid. Not necessarily from Nintendo.
But keeping a gag order on 3rd parties especially if its a multi-plat or a port. You can show/talk about the game without specifically showing the Wii U version.
Instead you get developers dancing around if the game is coming to the Wii U all the time, and it just doesn't really build the best image of your system.

Meh@Bungiesion "new" game. Being exclusive to MS really sucks. Not to mention its another sci-fi shooter. Hope they aren't stuck making sequel after sequel :/
Tough time to answer such a question.
I'll state this in B.S. units (kinda like "how many 360s?"): I think Nintendo was 10-20% too secretive this time around. They could've given us a little bit more and still had plenty leftover for E3.
But I might answer that question differently once the event is over, in either direction, honestly. Just depends on how things go. Their secrecy may be vindicated, or we may be pissed as all hell..

lmao, oh man, do I keep my mouth shut? But yeah, I've been playing through it slowly w/ my gf and those levels are damn near game ruining.

sci-fantasy, and they're already locked into making four of them.

I really like them for variety and design.
I'm torn as to whether you should be allowed to take 1 hit or it be how it is.
It's frustrating as fuck but I'd miss them if they weren't there in a possible sequel.
Maybe have less of those levels but I'm glad they were in.
I feel exactly the same about Retro's minecart levels.
DRC has a sensor bar built in. It wouldn't be particularly comfortable to use for BC but Wii U games can be designed with that in mind - that they have no sensor bar at the TV. For example, they won't need it if the IR function is not used, or they can use it as we've seen in that demo video (golf).
Still, I hope a Wiimote+ is included in the box.

Even worse yet is I end up losing at least two lives at checkpoints because I'm so mad that I miss the jump into the barrel lol.
4? Why 4? A trilogy I could understand, but 4?

People care about the campaigns, we talk about them in the HaloGAF threads all the time. It's just that the multiplayer component is what brings people back day after day, month after month, year after year(although the sandbox nature of Halo's combat design makes it more replayable then most FPS' single player options). That's really where the longevity of the series is, so it's what gets the most discussion. Helps that 343 has been very silent on the campaign section and keeping it in secret, so most discussion is the multiplayer direction.

The fastest moving threads on GAF are the "Nintendo is doomed" threads with, by far, the most absolute idiotic posts.
Sure, 75% is an estimation on my part, but on some days, it really feels this way!

Good luck if the first one sells :x
They could put an extension connector in the DRC. So you could at least connect a Classic Controller to the DRC. Of course, the second player would be linked to the first player by a wire, but that's not a very big issue most of the time.
That being said, I sure hope they include a Wiimote in the box (there's a sensor bar inside the DRC, by the way... and I hope that the golf game they displayed with the DRC on the floor will be available soon or late).
I'm far from convinced we'll get a nunchuck in the box, though.
We are Activision. Prepare to be assimilated.
Wait until you see the gif.

A shame but that will be the view of 80% of the PS360 'core gamers'.
For Nintendo to get the core in any significant numbers they should have made a standard game pad, which would have let them use more of the consoles power on the games and also let them spend that $50 on more powerful hardware or a lower launch player.
I can't wait for Wii U but if Nintendo actually think they are going to get the core market with a tablet pad and few third party launch games then they are in for a nasty shock.

Anyone else pretty confident that Wii U will require Motion + for the games with motion controls? I think it was hinted at with those internal NOE documents that stated 2 Wii Upads and 4 wiimote+ were compatible, but everyone was more excited about the 2 DRC thing.
It makes a ton of sense - first, it's simply more accurate. Second, it allows Nintendo to still make money selling controller peripherals without alienating the millions of current wii owners. It's not too bad to say your wiimotes work just need a 15$ add on rather than require a new 60$ controller. I also expect one to be bundled in, perhaps without the nunchuck.
of course, regular wiimotes will work for Wii BC.
EDIT: wow this thread moves fast - I see others already have similar ideas.

The bigger question is if someone fills that void... will they design the game for pointer or tablet controls? A lot of companies seem to prefer one more than the other. We might get lucky with some devs offering both control options in a game though.

;C I may revive JJGaf one day. Not yet though, it's too soon. I'll reveal more in thread VI, I promise.
