More like neverI think it's possible that we won't get specs until the console's launch. :lol

I think we will never get the consoles specs, look at Wii and 3DS...
Doesn't nintendo generally avoid releasing full specs anyway?
That aliens footage could be the WiiU version cause the screen was completely devoid of an HUD, health bar etc. which you would expect to be there for every other version

Next stop actually is the Record Date for Year-End Dividends for the 72nd Fiscal Year on the 31st of March.No real big information, but nice little infos nonetheless. Next stop is E3.

When the Notice of Dividend will be issued I don't know. Last year it was published on the 25h of April, with a total dividend payment of 39 642 million yen. The upcoming notice will be included in the proposals for the 72nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June (exact date unknown, could be after or before E3).

Just saw the CryEngine 3 tech trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTCTlLhzNTc
At 34 seconds in the clip, video shown reminded me of the Japanese Garden demo for Wii U. It wasn´t the same footage but the look was similar.
CryEngine 3 used for the Garden demo, maybe?

I think that logo means that the Wii U can handle UE3.
Interesting info: Samaritan runs on UE3.5 and not UE4 like many people assume. If Rein is serious about "getting Samaritan on Flash", then I wouldn't be surprised if they port it - or the UE3.5 - to the Wii U.

Sniper Ghost Warrior next instalment. First one was decent (good if we consider the publisher). New one looks interesting.Indeed it's very similar. Odd.
Also, what's this Sniper2 game at the beginning?

Learned: nothing.So, this thread moves approximately 1,000,000 times too fast.
Can I get a recap of any/everything new we learned in the past few days, rumors and all?

LOL no. That's their ADR, which is a bit different than a normal stock. It basically allows you to say that you own some stock of a foreign company without the hassles of actually owning the stock. This is their actual stock in the Osaka stock exchange(?): http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/overview?symbol=7974.OS It's trading at around $140, and they have a market cap of around $21 billion if I did the conversions right.

They only really *started* with the Gamecube. With Nintendo, obliqueness about specs is the norm, not the exception.Nope they stopped with Wii....
Can any of the wise members of Gaf tell me how normal it is for Nintendo to start contracts with these middleware developers for use with third party games?

I know that this is a normal practice but is this more than they have done before or revealed before?
(I'm hoping this says something positive about third parties on Wii U)

Well, put it this way, if Nintendo did divulge technical details, would we have two threads and almost 40,000 posts? Would we need a speculation thread at all?
Nintendo could release the most powerful console ever made and they still would get shit on, this is a fact. The time after the E3 conferences will be crazy again.
I don't see why it would be necessary for Nintendo to release the full system specifications of the Wii U. It would only serve as a distraction and give the media and fanboys plenty of ammo to criticize Nintendo,especially when Wii U is believed to not be a graphical beast. There's no real benefit for Nintendo to release it.
Wii U is more about the controller than better graphics anyway. Besides, Nintendo views HD and graphics as mere tools, whereas Sony seems to perceive them as what makes the experience. Nintendo's core values are just different. Of course, that won't stop Nintendo from making the most out its own hardware's capabilities.

"but.. it's Nintendo."
I really like this new meme. Very much dead-on.
Nope.
I'd say about 88 days from now.yawn... how much longer until something leaked or announced =__=
Honestly - I think we'll be waiting for a Chinese worker to smuggle a Wii U out of the factory and sell it to a tech blog before we get any specs.

Once any other company announces the spec, they spend all their time talking about how much better their specs are. If Nintendo doesn't release them, they can stay out of that game.
Nope.
