What?

That's not at all what I said, or what any sane, literate person would take from what I said.

I said, simply, that opinions vary and that many people do not like mouse+keyboard configurations. I said that many more people than that, including myself, dislike IR aiming because it's loose and it's easy to get motion sick playing it.

Of course it's subjective. The simple fact that it's more accurate does not make it more enjoyable for everyone.

Fine, but they don't know better, maybe that's the whole reason of their opinions.

And how on earth can you get motion sickness by using mouse.

Looks like he made it off his computer whoever made it.

yup. I can make a picture like that for you if you like. it's gonna have a lot of awesome games for you! :)

btw that does not look like a believable retail stock interface. way to "clean" and counter-productive to be used by a search algorithm.

Breakdown of possibilities:

+ Capcom rep recently said that Monster Hunter needs online to work in America.

+ Capcom is clearly too cheap to update Tri-G to add online play for 3DS.

+ Wii U is compatible with Wii games.

+ Monster Hunter Tri Wii has online play.

+ Up porting Monster Hunter Tri to Wii U is an expedient shortcut.

- Wii U has no online.

Hmm. It's a real puzzler. Not sure what Capcom's going to do.

Capcom wants to monetize Monster Hunter with NFC.
So, I think WiiU is getting it.

Good breakdown. Alberto seems to have heard some things supporting this as have others posting in the main Monster Hunter thread.

I think it makes sense- but I'm someone who is getting into Tri again so I might be biased :)

This game is a huge missed opportunity with that license, they couldve made a classic old school beat-em up with 4 player co-op. Even if it was a short 4-5 hour game, it couldve had multiple play thrus with having 20 characters to choose from, add in online and offline co-op that would be day 1 for me. Even if the game was not as deep as the old Raven Marvel games it couldve still been very fun.

But what do they do make a crappy looking fighting game that we really didnt need with MvC out there.

I still wonder how the WiiU version will play.

It really makes sense when you consider it allows capcom to do half assed support on the cheap. They just upscale the assets and add some touchscreen stuff and boom MH Wii U.

They claim solid support provided and call it a day

I know.I have it on 360. I know how the game looks. Its the whole thing with the WiiU devs/and others in the industry...Everone says the WiiU one looks stunning or something yet we havent see anything.

Edit: Also anyone wanting to see some p100 footage heres one that came out during E3 that I missed. I think its like 15 min long or something. A very good watch :)

I wasn't too big on P-100 until I saw this video. It looks awesome. Makes me want to buy the Wii U even without money haha. Time to trade in some games and my old3DS towards the preorder of a Wii U.

I think this game should be named Platinum Heroes. It's obvious enough why (plus city of heroes was taken)

Do we know if P-100 is built ground up for WiiU? I mean not started as a Wii game or PS3/360 game but built from WiiU dev kits giving to Platinum games from Nintendo.

What is up with the lack of announcements from japanese publishers anyhow? (on Wii-U).

The Western support for launch actually looks pretty decent for a Ninty console, but Japan is where Wii-U looks to be catered to imo, from design philosophies to feature set, I would have to think that Japanese game developers would throw a ton of support behind it, especially given the fact that they aren't really equipped for large scale "next gen" hate that word, but i'm referring to technologically taxing development, given how long it took them to become accustomed to even the rigors of PS360 development.

Are we expecting some Japanese goodies whenever Nintendo direct comes around? Or perhaps there is alot of stuff for just after the launch window....

I have to think Capcom has some stuff planned I have to think at least eventually Resident Evil is a no brainer given that it is one franchise nintendo gamers have proven to buy many times over, ditto sqenix beyond just DQX, atlus etc...

I think next Nintendo Direct will be monstrous.

The thing should dominate Japan, the touchscreen, portability that will go much further in smaller japanese apartments, lack of multiple televisions in many homes, NFC being much more developed over there, abilty for Japanese devs to get more milage out of engines currently in use and in development, not to mention a fading Playstation presence. All of the elements are there, Japanese devs just need to listen to common sense this time, there isn't the PS2 excuse, they shouldn't have put all their eggs in the playstation basket this time around.

Iwata did state at E3 that Japanese Developer support would be announced at a later date. I think most of us just thought it would have been announced already but they seem to be waiting til their big final reveal for most info

This is why Im so anxious. I know the japanese support is there. For every western game at launch theres probably one japanese game. I know its there...yet I cannot see it :( lol

Yes, Iwata said at E3 Japan support would be shown later. I expect stuff to start being announced very shortly.

Unite Heroes. All the special attacks start are called Unite Attacks and it fits in with the U naming scheme we're bound to see.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm pretty sceptical of idea that many more games will be announced and shown prior to launch, beyond the obvious ones (eg: ports). I don't doubt they exist, but Nintendo's NDA being up doesn't necessarily equate to publishers showing the goods. Especially if those games are still a little ways away.

I know! Japanese support is what i'm betting on in regards to the Wii-U, which is perfect for me, since most of my favorite games are japanese anyhow (outside of some PC stuff from the West). I have to think there is some exciting stuff, we've heard whispers, but this is getting ridiculous!

ND just has to be within the next week. I don't think they (or my poor heart) can afford to wait any longer. I already consider the Machines launch window to be very, very strong (Exclusive (for now at least) Rayman, ZombiU, P-100, Assasins Creed III is already a nice 3rd party shopping list, add in the Japanese support and i'll be very happy come launch. If the machine is launching even as late as mid November, and it's probably coming earlier, the blowout has to be soon.)

Unless they are waiting to time it around TGS to take the sails out of new PS announcements I guess, but I don't think they can wait THAT long.

For Western 3rd parties I agree. For Japan, while I'm sure there will be a lot of ports, I think there will be some nice original content for launch window. Japan does things very differently- it is not at all weird to see a debut in September for significant titles that release at the end of the year.

I'll believe to Japanese support WHEN (IF) it will be shown for real.
Rumors for MHTrig HD edition as the one and only Capcom game for Wii U for example are not exactly reassuring.
Considering that the other titles already announced are another Wii-hd-port as DQX and an arcade port as Tank Tank (with the unique exeption of Tekken as "normal" game), I think that the landscape is actually horrorific

I realize this is pointless as you continue to argue this, but it is a fact that Japanese 3rd party support is coming. It isn't even up for debate.

I know Iwata said we will get Japan 3rd party support at a later date at E3 but I didnt think he meant this late, I thought in July. We havent had any rumors or leaked games at all, I think WiiU is gonna come out in Japan a few weeks after NA since they are waiting so late to announce anything.

I really hope you are right.
Japanese support (also minor as the wii got with Marvelous as the unique softco really committed to the console) is the major reason I'd buy a Nintendo console (of course alongside Nintendo games).
And the actual silence about furhter Nintendo games (such as retro's one, monolith's one, metroid, star fox and so on...) together with the absolute abscence of Jap softco is the reason why actually I'm not so sure to buy the console at launch.

And it is a pity, because of the following post:

This is the first launch line up since the Dreamcast where I would buy every game. There are a lot of mature rated titles too.


I totally agree with you. I'm absolutely not sure to buy the console at launch for the aformentioned reasons, but honestly there are already a lot of games that I'm interested in (first party as pikmin or new mario; second as p100; third as rayman and zombi but also some multiplatform as assassins creed, plus some DD as tokitori or trine)

Nintendo, let us knwo which Jap games (from you, from capcom, from marvelous, from level5) are you planning to offer during the first year of the console, please.

If Nintendo's strategy is to inject info every two months, then
right before Xmas, Nintendo can create momentum,
build hype and consumer confidence by showing more titles for 2013.

I think most of thought the Japanese support would be announced at the Japan Mini E3 thing but that didnt end up happening. I think Nintendo and most will probably agree are just in the 3DS needs to light the world on fire mode right now. XL launching in the last territory tommorrow should allow them to shift

I was almost sure that we had to wait until September event, honestly.
but still, I'm disappointed and scared about the lacks already described in my previous post.

It's in their own best interest to announce the games to encourage console sales.

Another slow day, the only thing that would make this day awesome news wise is if Nintendo announced a Nintendo Direct date today for the 21st.
 
I actually want a Call of Duty developed for 3DS by these guys, just because they actually did a quality work with the DS ones. Maybe they are the ones porting Black Ops II to Wii U?

Edit: Beaten twice.

NDs happen towards the end of the week (usually on the 21st or 22nd). The pre-E3 Sunday thing was an exception because of E3.

So it should be on the 22nd (Wednesday). That would fit the pattern.

the pattern suggests a focus on the 21st or 22nd, preferably as late in the week as possible, depending on what day of the week the date falls on (that's why the April ND was on a Saturday, I guess)

So August 22 is a Wednesday. An announcement would be made on Monday or Tuesday at the absolute latest.

I know, I just wish Nintendo announced it now lol, I guess though it's good they wait to the last minute to announce a date for it because than you can't hype as much just in case.

Doesn't have a nice ring. Switch the words around. Heroes Unite or Heroes United.

I believe Kamiya-san approached his buddy when he saw the Wii U and had a crazy idea for it. So it's built from the ground up I assume.

Stay tuned to G4TV Sunday at 8pm EST/5pm PST for "The Decision". A 1 hour special feature that Nintendo will use to announce their decision on what day to host a Nintendo Direct.
That quote was a joke btw, don't post it WiiUDaily.

The 21st - 22nd date falls perfectly after the 3DSXL is out in NA, if we dont hear nothing by then I might go crazy lol.


Is this real time?, because if it is I can't wait to see better looking games on the Wii U, that looks amazing on the PS3.

Is that The Last of Us or Beyond Two Souls, I really dont know lol
