[Fantastical]

Guys, of course there is going to be a surprise beyond Retro's game. We've had at least one completely unknown game almost every year.

The Retro game is completely unknown from Nintendo's stand point, right? Nintendo hasn't commented on it, pretty sure. We only found out through hirings and stuff and that Twitter account.

 

[Wishmaster92]

It's better than Reggie's.

 

[skull kid]

People need to talk more about this. This silhouette is boss.

I mean...all of the silhouettes are kinda obvious, not sure if they're supposed to hype me with stuff I immediately recognize?

Spoiler

it's working

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

All I need is to see new 3D Mario, Retro's game, and Smash Bros to be satisfied. Any surprises will be icing on the cake.

Yup. Amazingly enough we are in the dark on it as far as official announcements from Nintendo go. I really do expect to see it at some point during E3.

 

[AniHawk]

they have promised to show so many AAA titles, is 1 hour enough for all of them?
including 3rd parties?

why wouldn't nintendo include themselves?

 

[Shahadan]

*Sigh*
I guess :c
I just really want to see how it will play.

They said it was a RPG right? As in, not a tactical. So we can already be disappointed ! Yay!

Question:

Does Nintendo need to knock it out of the park with what the Wii U can really do graphically?

or:

Does Nintendo really need to focus on what makes the system totally different (Gamepad gameplay uses that are innovative) than the other new consoles coming?

Yes.


Also they need to show that there will be a steady stream of games... People are tired of Nintendroughts.

 

[Shahadan]

Yes.

There is probably another one coming next year!

Well Iwata said they were gonna show how the Wii U was not to far behind in graphics so we'll see.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

When did he say this?

...?

 

[Darryl]

When did he say this?

he said @ last investors meeting. people had the perception that the wii u was a weak console and that they had to prove otherwise or something

 

[Bullza2o]

Well Iwata said they were gonna show how the Wii U was not to far behind in graphics so we'll see.

I think if there's any game that can have the best graphics it's Retro's game. Next is Monolith.

Just random thinking: is HAL working on a game? Any chance it's a new IP?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

When did he say this?

...?

In investors meeting. He said something along those lines. I dont know exactly word for word

 

[Shahadan]

It's too late for that anyway. We'll see next gen graphix before the Direct.

Refer to the X/killzone gifs drama.

Who cares we still want to see. What killzone gif? You mean the one when your watching it?

 

[AGITΩ]

An hour? I feel thats too short given that they have 2 platforms to focus on.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

edit: nvm :/

 

[Shahadan]

I mean the threads where people were jerking off about X's graphics and then came Killzone. Suddenly some people said X looked like shit and compared the graphics.

It was stupid but you'll see more of that soon.

i don't think those guys are really the new IP kinda crowd. they're probably working on yoshi yarn and smash brothers

The 3DS has had plenty of time the last few months..

 

[Trevelyan9999]

Yes but the only platform imperative that they focus on is the Wii U, the 3DS is kicking ass right now.

You guys are underestimating Bayonetta 2, that game will look amazing. Seriously over 130k polys for bayonetta......

They should have some games that make good use of the Gamepad, but no need for all or even most to have it be a major part of the game. I think Miiverse has more potential than the Gamepad anyway.

All signs are pointing to this direct being heavily focused on the Wii U.

 

[KojiKnight]

To be fair, a 60 min direct is probably on par with a 90 min show on the floor. You have to take lots of pauses for applause, introductions, wonky on stage demos, etc. Where as ND's have quick cuts, no pauses for rowdy audiences, etc.

I'd of course like it to be longer, but you can get a lot done in an hour... especially if you'd gotten a lot of it out of the way already (if you count the directs from May alone, that's almost an hour right there).

As you stated, it is a fact that some software development companies assume that Wii U is not powerful enough. On the contrary, some developers say in interviews that Wii U has a different architecture from other consoles and that, when utilized in the right way, it can perform well. At the moment, there is a great deal of contradictory information. Nintendo is required to make more efforts to dispel such a misconception.

[ffdgh]

Eh I'm not worried since 2 years of failure left me very cautious lol. Hopefully they'll do 3 minutes videos for each game. 10-15 vids would make me happy.

Not.... I meant not...

wouldn't mind a Power Paintbrush sequel, that was one of my favorite ds games.

Don't forget Mario U...galaxy team can shatter jaws.

This is a fantastic point.

Wasnt this also the case last year? But there was still a big focus on the 3DS, hell, it even got its own conference.

 

[KojiKnight]

For a man that was supposed to be retiring, and then supposedly stepping out of the way so new creators could come in (and implied new IPs with it) we sure aren't hearing a lot about new blood.


I have a feeling Shiggy is one of those types of people that likes the IDEA of stepping down, but when the time comes to pass on the reigns, he holds them tighter. I personally don't have a problem with that, but I think he likes the control far more than he realizes.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

miyamoto's new ip will be about a wonderful handsome genius puppeteer who is constantly harassed by horrible goblins that want him to make a new show with new puppets

 

[Boss Doggie]

I bet the silhouettes are for the games that are coming out in near dates.

 

[jmizzal]

I wonder if this is going to be like last years pre E3 direct where each region will have the same info, I hope so, I really dont wanna have to watch two feeds lol.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

We just don't know what it will be about or if it will be on Wii U or 3DS...Or both.

I believe he told the Associated Press that he is indeed working on a new property, but we haven't heard much more then that. I imagine what Anthony said is close to the truth, where he hasn't really had time to start any substantial work on the new property yet.

It's a big gray area for Nintendo though, and I don't see it get nearly as much attention as Retro's new title. Considering Miyamoto announced it last year though, it could potentially be ready to show at E3 (but I doubt it).
