We don’t have to guess – we already know. The touch screen will be used for the game’s ‘Eagle Vision’ and will also display a persistent map. Fast-switching weapons will also be handled with the touch screen and there will be an interactive database to browse through. Finally, some puzzles will be implemented, which you’ll have to solve using the touch screen.

That sounds awesome. Just tap the map to set a waypoint and go.

None of this is real, but wouldn't it make more sense to call the next Batman game Gotham City?

I mean, that seems like the natural progression from Arkham City. Plus, it would lend to them changing the game enough so it didn't feel like sequel fatigue, while also keep some core elements like the hand to hand combat intact.

Nah, it should be based on JL Doom.
You play as Batman and have to take down super heroes around the world.

Galaxy...not shocking? What do you want, Mario to stop being a platformer and start being a Star Wars dance game? :p

LOL - I didn't mean it in a bad way. Just...well, we always know we're getting a new Mario game. And we know it's going to be great.

I can't wait until Nintendo gives us another outta-left-field, "what the fuck am I looking at but I must BUY IT!" moment with something completely new.


That, and I'm one of those weird fucks who preferred Mario Sunshine XD

Well if they've the first screens on 23rd March then Nintendo will surely be showing stuff off before that as Magazines aren't the best medium to show off first screens.....


Anyway looking over the specs on wiki of Wii vs 360 vs ps3.
If Nintendo deliver Mario Galaxy on something so underpowered, then I fear what they will deliver on WiiU.

It is just "some puzzles", probably the "Subject 16-like" puzzles and heck, some of those would've played better with a "Wii U like controller"; since some required you to: scan over an image to find something (can be done with the Wii U by moving the controller around the screen), rotate a sphere to look for numbers (i.e. rotate it with the touschreen); mix and match numbers (again touch screen)..and some more.

Guess we'll know by next week...if that magazine brings some actual details..

I'm pretty sure they "know" this in the same sense that IGN "knew" there would be more than two third-party characters in SSBB.

They're an unofficial Nintendo magazine. The odds that they're getting the world's first look at a proper game running on Wii U hardware are not high in my book.

They did plenty of that this past gen, too. Sometimes it was for us, sometimes it wasn't.

Why are you afraid of that? I'm positively giddy at the thought of it.

My source is my ass!
So EA opens a new studio yum yum yum... !

The Studio was formed on the initiative of Patrick Söderlund, EVP of EA’s Games Label, who appointed former DICE Executive Producer Marcus Nilsson to build and run the studio. Marcus has led development on a number of AAA games including Battlefield 2 Modern Combat, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 3 and most recently Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed. The Studio will focus on developing a new generation of games, and the engine of choice is Frostbite 2.

Scribblemauts?

If true.. so.. happy..

The creator was asked about a Wii version back in 2009, and said that it was something he would consider.. and now we're looking at this?

The pad would be perfect for scribbling! Heeeeee!

As much as I loved Galaxy 1 and 2, please. Something new.
No more New SMB, as well.
New experiences. New ideas. New gameplay.
Like with 3D Land.

From the same article:

We do know that Ken Levine of BioShock fame has got something planned for the new machine (BioShock Infinite looks most likely, which suits us just fine, as you can see from our Bioshock Infinite Wii U feature here) as has Warren Spector, of Junction Point and Disney Interactive. With a third-party line-up like this already and the machine still waiting for its first finalised design debut, the future is looking very bright indeed. Bring on E3 2012!

I'm calling bullshit. Levine kind of said they have nothing in the works yet. Junction Point seems plausible though.
