Activision, quite possibly. EA... I'd like to think so, but their unwillingness (inability?) to get a Crysis 3 port greenlit is not encouraging. I can only hope that both MoH:WF and DS3 are coming.

Give it time. Some stuff will definitely get skipped at launch and that isn't necessarily a bad thing since the system has a user base of 0 right now.
Really I'm just waiting to see what Activision and EA have in store, especially for launch.
The two guys watching are awfully impressed with that terrible Japanese impersonation.
These fakes.. get better and better as time goes on.

If we get those and BlOps2 day and date with the others the launch is going to be absolutely STACKED.
Hahahaa I'm pretty sure those are the same guys/trolls who made this video last year:

See guys ? You have to thanks the Frenchs !
All depends on WHAT games Ubisoft gives to the Wii U. ;p
You guys are our oldest friends for a reason.. ;-)See guys ? You have to thanks the Frenchs !
I could be way off, but I was under the impression EA has little say/power over Crysis 3.

I will admit that the leaked Rayman Legends trailer has hyped me more than anything else this pre-E3 season. Cannot wait to have that game (and the DRC) in my hands.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
* bites tongue *
Doesn't there have to be one? I doubt Nintendo would promise same-day digital releases if we were forced to use external HDDs on USB 2.0.
Whether you could replace the drive with a larger one is another question. Wii says "No." 3DS says "Maybe".
unlikely at this point.

Dude. You're late. I have been tuxed up for months.
Haha True.
Errr, why? We've heard nothing to the contrary, they could very well have changed it for the show. Just like the analogs.
After E3, yes, it would be unlikely.

I thought it was confirmed last E3(on the Nintendo site) that it would only have internal Flash & support for external HDD?

I wonder how big the flash drive is in the console. Can't be less than 8gb. But yeah still sucks that we'll likely have to get external drives.
Since then they've announced a DD initiative. Frankly I would surprised if that announcement from last E3 held, especially after the devs have had a year to muscle in their requests.
Then we're gonna need a bigger case.
Just had a small idea, felt the urge to write it somewhere
Mario Aquarium !
You'll have an underwater Super Mario Bros Level with HD graphics, photorealistic fishes, jellyfishes, seaweed, a lot of bubbles + soothing sea sounds (of waves and small movements in the water, etc.) rendered on the padlet hold vertically on a stand, a real little aquarium put in your bedside table, to chill out and sleep well.

BREAKING NEWS:
A truck full of WiiUs just got hijacked, Nintendo has cancelled E3
I am not a suspect... I repeat... I was not near the truck 22 minutes ago

Would this tie into Miyamoto's recent hobby of taking up swimming? After all, it seems like his hobbies affect his direction in games (ie gardening inspiring Pikmin).

Indeed. Which shouldn't be out of the question since it has been subject to change. Look at the 360 S drive, it's no bigger than an empty wallet.
I'd be really disappointed if this desire to have a small console comes before including a standard feature of gaming consoles.
Actually, installing games to an HDD makes the console run almost silent. Quieter than the optical drive spinning.
It's not going to happen.

Well, they could simply have an SKU that includes a Nintendo branded external HDD with the system rather than trying to stuff in an internal one. I would rather they add USB 3.0 than waste everyone's money on a large internal HDD.
See guys ? You have to thanks the Frenchs !
I assume that your sources are Ubi related. I hope you can continue to share more insight after the big reveals next week. Do you think you will be able share more personal perspectives on the WiiU development then?
Also, thanks for spreading out your "infos" and keeping the thread interesting (even though it made me want to stab some people posting the same questions/hate).
Why would we want photorealistic fishes and jellyfish in a Mario game?
Stylised > Photorealistic
Rookie mistake. Of course those "official" looking trucks were just carrying leftover Virtual Boy stock.
The ragged El Caminos with the tarp across the back being held by bungee chords was in fact the real shipment of Wii Us.
"See you suckers at E3" shouts Reggie (from one of the El Caminos).

HDDs make very little sense from a BoM standpoint because they hardly get cheaper over time. After a few years, the HDD would become the most expensive part of the console, making certain price points unreachable.
Indeed.. larger capacities may get cheaper, but that's about it.
I just hope Nintendo releases an enclosure that matches the Wii U's aesthetics.

He wasn't talking about a game. He's talking about a portable aquarium emulator. Kind of like those fishy screen savers people used to run on their desktop computers.
edit: Also, POST 18 is finally up to date with respect to the time I missed.

Well, when they reveal the Wii-U Zelda game coming at launch, they'll spend like 20 minutes on just that.
