A 4-player Yoshi's Island with pointer controls would be too amazing to comprehend. I don't know how I feel about outsourcing the project, though. That tells me they are not looking at it w/ the reverence that it deserves as a franchise. A full-scale YI game packed w/ innovative play mechanics is something I have faith in only EAD to achieve.

Edit: Also, the music. They need to get someone good. "Athletic" is actually my current ringtone. :p

Nope. My Nintendo Power hasn't come in the mail yet. Still anxiously waiting for it. Sigh. :(

oooo Thanks Guys!

Hopefully the preview goes up today. I need something to grasp onto for the last week and a half before E3!

Ugh why the hell do I even visit N4G.com? That place is an absolute cesspool of nonsense.

I had just got off there when I signed up for GAF, and now that I happen to check on the site again, it's still just god awful in every sense of the phrase.

Does anybody ever visit N4G or other sites like Joystiq, Destructoid etc? Or is GAF your one-stop shop for gaming new?

It's here, Go Nintendo, NWR, and that's about it. I quit going to the major sites about 5 years ago.

The site itself is okay, since they usually have up-to-date rumors and news, but it usually has fanboy tint around it to get views and comments.

btw, why is this thread moved to the Community section?

I was surprised to not see this in the gaming section and found the info from the other Wii U related thread

Well I hope they change it. It's bland and uninspired. It't doesn't differentiate itself enough from the Wii, which we've seen was a problem with the Wii. Add in WiiU name, it doesn't bode well.
And keeping names around has worked out horribly for Apple.
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 :(
Have prompts on the TV using remote buttons for the other two players.
There are not many people who shit on IGN like I do, but even I have to admit that they get much information first and seem to have good sources.
Sources are fine, it's the reporting that's the problem. Shoot the messenger.

Worked for Zelda, Metroid, and F-Zero (and supposedly YI DS).
Is the Nintendo Power game definitely a Wii U game? Couldn't it be a 3DS game?
Yeah...or last hurrah for the Wii (although that'd make no business sense at this point). Considering the lockdown Nintendo has on Wii U stuff I wouldn't be surprised if it was for 3DS.

What was the last "mind-blowing" Nintendo announcement you guys can think of? Nothing matches the Twilight Princess (though it lacked a name at the time) reveal, but what has come close?
Since then: Wii Remote, Dragon Quest IX.
Bah, 'yer all a buncha young'uns. When I was 4 my dad bought one of these, and I played the heck out of it:

Ahh, the Home TARDIS Console.

N4G is Sony central.

It's Bond Legends, which is definitely for Wii U but the preview is likely for 3DS and Wii.

And another thanks to all the well wishers.
:D

Ugh, lame. People need to let Goldeneye go. Sure, it was a great game, but just let it go already. Wasn't the Wii remake enough?

Very good to know. I'll have to remember this. :)

I'm going off my limited experience there. It seems like every time I visit there the top 5 stories include mostly PS3 related things, including a completely throw away article (like 5 reasons to..., best games for PS3, etc.). Nothing wrong with that, just something I noticed.
 

Skiesofwonder

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Ace thinks it is Bond Legends. Though I agree it is likely. There is a rumor going around that it is a castlevania throwback issue that reveals Mirror of Fate 3DS.

But the longer we go without the preview going up, the more I start to think it is a Wii-U game. We usually have something by now, and the ony reason I could think of for the delay is some type of NDA.
 
They really need to start going into different directions with Bond games. Stop trying to top Goldeneye, because you're not going to do it.

A practice I should probably adopt. Or maybe just limit it to here and Joystiq, they can be ok at times.

I use GAF as my source, since it's more reliable. Man, I used to visit ____IGN.com so much. Ngamers and some others. Just go to gaf. I've gotten better reviews and usable info from here.
 
So this my first time in the "wasteland" known as Community and it's not that bad...ack!

Seriously though, been busy running errands today, miss anything good?
 
Usually the cover for Nintendo Power is mostly Nintendo-game related. It has to be a big game franchise from another 3rd party to make the cover.
