I had that daydream again.
The one where Sony does a Playstation Indirect an hour before a Nintendo Direct where announcements are made indirectly through sock puppets talking in riddles.

 

[powermastergamer]

Nintendo's got such a massively powerful backlog, they could literally just spend a year exclusively porting Gamecube and N64 games to the WiiU, and it would be fantastic.

 

[Medalion]

Yeah... Thats what Nintendo needs, moar leeching off the past

 

[Black]

7 hours 10 minutes to go

Are you sure. The australian one is at 23rd Jan @ 24:00 AEST and it's currently 6pm so it's only 6 hours away

[Black]

My bad, continue on with the hype train

 

[Blades64]

Nintendo has so much AWESOME unused IPs that they literally could just make new installments in the various series for the coming years and it would be awesome!

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Dis gonna be good.

 

[powermastergamer]

I think we should expect one of the big IPs? Either 3D Mario, Zelda, or Metroid? Probably Mario, I smell Mario. Definitely VC though, it makes so much sense to rush VC it's painful.

 

[EloquentM]

If you don't like it don't buy it.

 

[powermastergamer]

If you don't like it don't buy it.

Yea that's a pretty horrible thing to say in a Nintendo thread, I bought this WiiU to be a Monster Hunter box and nostalgia transfusion machine.

I really hope it's not Mario, i love his games but..

i want something else this year.

I bought it for Nintendo software of the past present and future. I'll buy the orbis for Sony software of the future and third party software of course =}.

I liked your old avatar more, more quotable for posts like these.

 

[IrishNinja]

only so many hours until Itoi edition Mother Collection HD announced, sources say

 

[RedFalco]

how come no one is speculating for Pokemon Snap U?

 

[Instro]

how come no one is speculating for Pokemon Snap U?

He knows something, alert Kotaku.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I think masuda or someone said before pokemon snap would be possible but they arent making it anytime soon or something I forget.

 

[powermastergamer]

how come no one is speculating for Pokemon Snap U?

Wasn't some head developer quoted as saying they are not interested in creating another Pokemon Snap? Or am I imagining things?

 

[RedFalco]

He knows something, alert Kotaku.

lol I wish but sadly im as informed as any of you guys

 

[Pikma]

Nope I remember that too, it's such a shame :/

 

[73V3N]

That's what people with NDAs always say.

Pokemon Snap U confirmed

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Hey, guys, who wants to drink coffee with me?

 

[ThreeSixty]

I think this is one of those events that deserves the GAF thread open at all times whilst watching the live stream. I just want to be here to witness the bombs live. That's assuming we get bombs but I think given the performance of the Wii U Nintendo needs to drop the heavy hitters. Who's expecting major game announcements like a new Mario or Metroid?

 

[Darryl]

how come no one is speculating for Pokemon Snap U?

i wish, i think Stadium U is a possibility tho

 

[DjRoomba]

how come no one is speculating for Pokemon Snap U?

I will go and out and buy a Wii U right now if they announce Pokemon Snap U

Spoiler

(another one..)

 

[Instro]

lol I wish but sadly im as informed as any of you guys

Then we should definitely alert Kotaku.

 

[AzVal]

I'm stunned... This one beats the "Vita: back from the dead"-gif from the Media Create Sales thread as best gaf-gif ever imo

I think this is the best one so far this year

Thread: Resident Evil: Revelations is headed to 360, PS3, PC and WiiU May 21st, 2013

Back on topic, what could be announced even if not this year that could make you go out and buy a WiiU tomorrow?

 

[RedFalco]

That's what people with NDAs always say.

Pokemon Snap U confirmed

haha it only took me one post on GAF for people to start considering me an insider. This is what HYPE does to you XD

F-Zero UX made by the GX people with 30 person online.

A price drop. Don't get me wrong, I bought the 3DS at $250, but a college kid doesn't have the money to drop $350 on a console with only a few games out right now that I'm interested in.

Games like Yoshi, a proper WarioWare, or a 3D Mario would give me a reason to save for one, but unless one of those games is released tomorrow, I'll be waiting.

I am. They need something big and they need it now.

$300. As low as around 240 if you buy one second-hand.

 

[NMFried]

Well one of the games I'm interested in is Nintendo Land. It'd just make sense to get the Deluxe bundle.

 

[Pikma]

So you made an account just so you could tease us? What are you, french? Nintendo leaks come from France 90% of the time, do you know what other company has offices there? Ubisoft! Ha I resolved the puzzle! Hey do you know anything about a ZombiU sequel? and don't try to answer me with a "no" because I'll take that as a "YES".

 

[VOOK]

Well then...

 

[TriGen]

Well then...

Where's that from?

 

[Shoyz]

~25 used/second-hand, and sure to decrease further as time goes on. The only non-negligible differences are the color and storage, and considering that the storage is completely negligible when that money is put in an HDD instead, it's not worth it unless you really like black or unless you're going to invest tons of money in downloads (which is a waste of money).

If you go for a cheap white and nintendoland, that'd be 265 instead of 350. Your choice though! Either way I'd get one used, savings are pretty huge.

 

[SolarPowered]

okay so going by what has been discussed over the last few pages the following is looking likely

- Retro's game shown, either Metroid or Zelda.
- Yoshi's Island: Wii U.
- Monolith's project, which is a next gen remake of Mother.
- Resident Evil 2 remake.
- GCN virtual console running at HD resolution, plus GamePad support.
- Temporary GTAV exclusivity.

Internet people love the pain.

Back on topic, what could be announced even if not this year that could make you go out and buy a WiiU tomorrow?

Nothing, but F-Zero will guarantee a purchase when it drops.

 

[Fandangox]

Never stop believing.

 

[Randdalf]

I think the most likely outcome is a new Mario Kart game, personally. I could see them re-revealing Game & Wario too. I also wonder if Nintendo themselves has been working on eShop-only titles in addition to retail ones.

 

[AzaK]

I'd be happy if it's Yoshi's Island U developed by Retro. I mean, they deserve HUGE CREDIT for bringing Donkey Kong Country back in a way that not only was truthfull to it's originals, but IMHO even surpassed them.

Since I'm sure Nintendo EAD is bussy with other things, Retro may have been given the task (since they are the only ones besides the EADs who can do it).

Yoshi's Island U really needs to be a AAA efford, though (like DKCR), in order to get my approval! It may even need to be a AAA+ efford, since Super Mario Land 2: Yoshi's Island is still THE BEST 2D Jump'n Run/Platformer ever created.

Nooooooooo. Fuck the cute Nintendo shit. We know Nintendo can do that in their sleep. Give us deep, epic, balls explodingly meaty shit. New shit. New areas for Nintendo. No Mario Kart, we know it's coming. No Yoshi or Wii Fit U.

So...what happens if I say "YES"...? lol

 

[Kazerei]

I'm so excited that I can't get to sleep. But if I don't go to sleep I'm afraid I won't wake up in time. Argh.

 

[Linkup]

If their big games are not ready then they aren't ready.

Fans should be used to large droughts by now.

 

[DrWong]

I think masuda or someone said before pokemon snap would be possible but they arent making it anytime soon or something I forget.

They said "no plan" in a US interview during the B&W 2 promotion tour, and "why not" in a French interview during the same promotion. So... errr... so.

And hello everybody. Went to sleep 6 hours ago but it's like it was 6mn ago. F... hype.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

I called it! Wii U Fit.

I give up.

Good morning from Europe, GAF, it's almost 9 AM (T minus 6 hours) and what the hell do you mean online multiplayer for Luigi's Mansion.
