Yeah. New blood coming in helped push it to where it is now.
I'm so proud. *sniff* ;_;

Now tell me if the eDRAM amount increased.

Note that for anybody predicting after November 23rd in the US: That date is Black Friday, a massive shopping day which particularly results in unnaturally high video game sales. Missing it would be pretty nuts.
I think that's the name for a similar feature available on the 3DS. So people have been using them as a generic term for Nintendo's version of "achievements". I'd personally prefer "Rewards" as the name, as then it'd be focusing on what you get instead of what you did.
(and, of course, I want the rewards to be features unlocked in other games than the one that triggered the reward)

Hats, lots of hats, like on the 3DS.
I agree. I really do see a Wii U version of the game coming out. I don't think they would want to miss out releasing Black Ops 2 at launch.
Edit: Do they have a release date for the game?

Anyone who doesn't believe that Black Ops 2 will be on WiiU is an idiot. This is activision here.

Don't worry guys, I won't post as much. Someone can take my 4th place trophy.

Probably because they just haven't specifically announced something yet. Even though we're almost completely certain, it is still a guess that they're making a Wii U game.
Black Ops 2? November 13.

It does seem likely. However, BLOps2 for Wii would run on the Wii U, so there's always the possibility they could cheap out and offer a "dual platform" game.
I see. Well I still kind of find it odd since they're a first party studio. They have to be working on something (hopefully not assets for another MK game)
Wow this is going to fit perfectly with Wii U launch if Nintendo releases it around the same time.

Well, the Paul Gale network unearthed last year that Retro Studio received Wii U development kits very early on and that work on a title for the system started early as well. And Retro Studios has been seeking people to come work on "cutting-edge next-generation platforms", so most likely they have something in the works for Wii U. As I wrote in the opening post, I'm currently updating the thread.
Here's a long and very interesting article about Free Radical (now Crytek UK), their history, the problems they met especially with Star Wars Battlefront 3 and TimeSplitters 4. It's related to Wii U in a way because of their roots, some people are eager for a new TS on the Nintendo system, and we know that LucasArts & Rebellion are planning action/shooter/mmo games on it (maybe BF 3 ?).
Oh, this article is pretty depressing about the state of the industry.

Unlock all the accomplishments for a game on Wii U, get a hat in TF2.
(Well, it's not like Valve wasn't ALREADY heading in this direction...)

Lol, nice follow-up from Wollan's old drawing
Nintendo didnt invent the analog stick. Rumble was also released almost at the exact same time both for N64 and PS1 =)
I could totally see that happening, where the maon differences are framerate, resolution.. that basic kind of thing. Very little effort in the hopes that people will buy it while they're in Launch Mania Purchasing Mode.

Fingers crossed for 2 Wii U controller support. I'd like to play every multiplayer game on an even level with my bro. (I'm looking at you Smash Bros ;_
You can both use Wiimotes if not.
I'm really hoping for a new classic controller to be honest...
Wait.. the 360 truck has a skeleton under its front right tire; to whom does it belong?Lol, nice follow-up from Wollan's old drawing
Wouldn't it be a bit harder to do that if the Wii U version had online capabilities and some Wii U specific features? If their online infrastructure has changed as much as we hope, I don't think it will be possible that the Wii and Wii U version of the games are exactly one and the same.

Just wondering: By what metrics are Wii and 3DS performing better in Europe than the US? I'm not sure there's any clear indication that NOE's willingness to localize more first-party titles has paid off in terms of overall platform health, but maybe I'm just not aware of it.

I like Reggie, but if he's going to continue with his stance of assuming what "audiences like" in NA; he should be replaced. Disaster, Fatal Frame...barely just getting Xenoblade. For stuff like Disaster I remember he openly admitting it was his decision, the others not so sure..if Japan has such an iron-fist that they don't want those games outside Japan (but allow them on Europe) then they need to get their stuff together.

He may leave of his own design, not because he's being pushed out. I mean, he's been installed for a while now. Don't NoA execs usually have a short span?
Anyway, like that Penny Arcade comic says, he's rich as fuck now. I think this year will result in an improved bottom line for Nintendo in North America (not compared to their peak, but most certainly compared to now) in both the home and portable market segments, so he will likely not be pressured to leave. But he can walk away at any time really if he finds the job lacking.
Maybe he'll start up a gym on the side for kicks.
Or a car repair shop: "Reggie's Auto Body -- It's ready"

I tried to look for the original drawing, but i only found a small thumbnail for it, so i cant really tell :\
EDIT: bgassassin answered it =)
My own loophole on that statement: the conferences are technically not a part of E3. So the whole "not at E3" thing could still be true.
"Technically correct" - the best kind of correct!
He will. He didn't really do much wrong, except maybe choosing not to release some niche titles here and Xenoblade. If their strategy has changed then we should start seeing most of these titles come over here either exclusively on their online service and/or packaged.
Holy shit haha. I spit out my juice.

I didn't know that was his doing... Hmm, I too like Reggie, but I don't like that at all.

As much as I like him personally, if he keeps cockblocking us from having decent games come over, he needs to go. Getting in the way of good games is a very heavy sin.

I am determined to be an active participant of the thread this time.
it's not happening
I got a chance to play Disaster and it blowed. Good decision I must say. Xenoblade on the other hand was a dumb one. Same with Fatal Frame, although I'm not a fan of the series myself.
Call me a jaded ass, but when it comes to stuff like this, I always assume the worst. If someone goes the extra mile on a port's features, I'm pleasantly surprised.

If the news of it placing highly in NPD is true, this might have been the best time to release it. If they sent it out a year or two ago, it probably would have been sent out to die. Now it's, like, the only Nintendo game around, and it was sold in a special new way, and it has a totally different look, which is appealing now that system owners are burnt out a little on how the earlier Wii games often looked (lots of curved, clean surfaces a la Miis or Mario).
So because of this timing (if that crazy "#3 in April" claim is true), then Xenoblade has guaranteed future entry into the US with a stronger marketing push.
