The Wii U Speculation Thread VI: The Undiscovered Country

Well Uncharted is something more than just shooting stuff. I like Uncharted. I don't need a Uncharted clone from Nintendo though.

I'd actually love if Nintendo basically took Uncharted...and took away the shooting. Make it all about treasure hunting, avoiding enemies and still have the tomb raiderish climbing. Its what I initially expected when I first played Uncharted years back, but then the shooting, the awful shooting came in.
 
What I'm most excited for is less browns! HD blue skies! HD green hills! HD flowers! HD rainbows!

Amen, brother. Amen.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

LOL...this was my exact feeling with UC 1 and 2.

I enjoyed 3, though.

Combat was the best part of uc2 though.

Hopefully we will see at least one Wii U game next week, leak or not, although I'm probably hoping for too much.

Is it June 5th yet?
 
I've just come to think that an Elite Beat Agents' game on WiiU supporting 4 UTablets multiplayer may have a huuuge untapped potential commercially-wise, with a good marketing campaign, too bad WiiU allegedly supports just up to 2 tablets :(


With good online support it doesn't matter how many tablets the WiiU can handle, up to 8 players can be possible in a supposed EBA WiiU...

Anyways, this kind of game is ok with only a 2 players mode and a 1 player mode with an online global Ranking system.

The point is they can expand the game with downloable Songs ( with their own Video / history ) a la Guitar hero..

So much potential here..

Speculation from a friend of mine...
note:He'll join my "Tsab feast", so Zeus Beers and Souvlaki for him too. :p

1) So.. how much will the Wii U cost? 300.
2) And when will the Wii U's Launch Day be? End of November.
3) Your #1 Desired Launch Day Game? Retro Studio game.
4) Any pleasant third-party surprises for the Wii U? a game from Platinum Games.
5) Any predictions of media criticisms for Nintendo's behaviour/substance during E3 Week? Nintendo is doomed.
6) What'll be your preferred food & drink of choice during the Nintendo Conference? Zeus Beer and Souvlaki.
7) How long will the Nintendo Conference go on, and what'll be the breakdown on time spent between Wii U and 3DS? Total: 1:30, 15min bla bla, 45-60 Minutes for WiiU, 25 for 3DS.
8) Predict: rate the Wii U Launch lineup from 1 (worst) to 10 (best). If have retro game 9, if not 5.

10) Predict: any super-special applications that Nintendo's gonna spring on us? Socializing interface.

We're a community now? Good?

Give me some rope
Tie me to dream
Give me the hope to run out of steam
Somebody said it can be here
We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year
I can't count the reasons I should stay
One by one they all just fade away

Were you most exited for the Wii unveiling or for the Wii U re-unveiling next month?

I'm not sure myself. The thing I know for sure is that I'm fed-up of my XBox 360 and don't touch my Wii anymore (That's a weird sentence) so I'm eargerly anticipating something new which was not exactly the case in 2005/2006.

So far, it was the Wii.

The Wii U is pretty nice, as far as I can tell with the little info we have, but I'm not completely sold on the pad yet. It's nice, and I know from the DS that two screens can be useful, but it's kind of a known quantity. I more or less have an idea on what it will do.

The Wii was nuts. A remote control as the primary controller? That you used by waving it around? That was weird. Promising, but weird. So naturally, I was excited to see what Nintendo was up to with it.

I am curious as to what Nintendo is going to do with the Wii U, of course, but not at the level of the Wii Remote.

They didn't drop any recent Wii U bombs, but if there are media people who have the resources to drop a bomb then it's IGN.

BTW, this close to E3 and no megaton rumor? What happened to 01.net?

01.net is more a pc/new technology/download of utilities platform than a video game website. Basically they managed to get some info on the Wii U last year and revealed it, but it's not their main activity :)

Don't worry, I check 01net 10 times per day and I even emailed them 2 month ago, asking for new leaks.

By any means guys...

They were also the first I think to post the details about the PSVITA.

Maybe after what happened to the TT guy no body is willing to risk and break the NDA.
*random developer*

"Hey did you hear what happend?"
"What?"
"Some pour soul at TT Fusion leaked via Twitter the new version of the Wii U controller"
"Yikes, why?"
"Dunno. He got fired and all that jazz."
"Well, I won't tweet anymore till E3"

In case people still wondered why we don't hear a lot of news about the Wii U: Nintendo’s Put a Gag Order on everything about the system until E3, it's from Vigil

“Nintendo’s put a full gag on everything until E3,” sighs Jeremy Greiner, Creative Manager at Vigil Games. An inauspicious start to an Nintendo-focused interview, sure; but not entirely unexpected. Despite championing Darksiders II as a huge third-party scoop for their upcoming console, the Big N is keeping a tight grip on all information regarding the WiiU system until next month’s big conference.

...

“If I didn’t have a strict gag order on me, I’d love to talk about all the great features that we have,” Jeremy tells us, “but what I can tell you is that it’s a next generation platform, and you should keep your eyes open.

“We’ll obviously be using the unique controller that it has to its utmost potential, but speaking to specific features or tech effects… well, that’s in Nintendo’s playground right now. And I know that they have plans for E3.”

Hyped ?
