What the hell

Best thread. *sheds a tear*

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

So the first trailer they're going to show is a Retro-made Super Metroid HD remake with 5 new areas and playable Ridley.

Right?

Right?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

What the hell

Yeah we know, the title is garbage.

 

[GameplayWhore]

They said at E3 last year that won't happen, I think.

That's correct. No rendering to higher resolutions.

obviously, they need to sell them HD remasters sony style.

 

[NeoRausch]

Those are the best events!

Just wait for the people who had to triple-dip, three gens in a row, for Metroid Prime or Pikmin.

 

[HylianTom]

Couldn't we assume that any gaming event will be pretty much filled with tons of gamers that annoy all the other groups of similarly annoying gamers? That's what a convention is about.

At least with a Nintendo-specific conference, their mums make them take a bath. >_>

That, and Nintendo has the whole event to themselves. It's the one big bright spot.

Child abuse is not okay, unless they are blocking your way to a Ice Cream vendor.
Hey at least it won't be...as smelly right?

 

[BurntPork]

question: do we know exaclty how this sensor bar works?
I mean: wii senor bar is positioned under or above the TV, and it recognizes the position of remote pointer.
What is the meaning of and the use of the built in sensor bar of the Upad?

Correction: The sensor bar is just an infrared light. A camera in the Wii Remote determines the location of the remote using the sensor bar as a reference point. This is why candles can be used to replace the sensor bar. It doesn't send or receive any data at all.

I assume it's mainly for when you are using the controller as your screen in a game that uses the Wii Remote.

"Nintendo Wii U Won't Upscale Wii Games, Isn't Compatible with GameCube Titles"

Well I think that it's because of the HW compatibility (not software emulated), so the Wii U becomes a Wii when you launch the Wii games (as the Wii did becoming a GC)
I really prefer the total compatibility given by this choice, honestly.
And probably I'll not buy any collection, as I did for PS360 (the only exeption was Prime's trilogy )

I assume it's mainly for when you are using the controller as your screen in a game that uses the Wii Remote.

So...should I point to the Upad with the Wiimote? :\
weird...

Yeah, I know. But I'm still confused about the built-in sensor bar for Upad...

Yeah, it's important to distinguish the (Wii way) camera being on the remote, which more accurately determines the direction the remote is pointing but not the physical location of the remote, with the (PS3 way) camera being on the TV, which determines the physical location of the wand but not the direction it's pointing.

A dual-camera/sensor system would be pretty ideal here.

Hah, I misread his post and thought he was saying that people who were tech freaks enough to be so wowed over lighting effects were generally virgins.

I'm wondering if they'll breach the topic of his new IP. Or Launch games. Or anything.

With our luck, it'll be about his hobbies.. but they'll be fake hobbies to throw-off the competition, hehe..

Yeah, I got MPT, but I missed out on Prime and Prime 2 in the early naughties.

weird...

You put the DRC on its stand in front of the TV, and it becomes in effect a wireless sensor bar but not shitty like the third party wireless sensor bars we got this gen.

all these interviews in the gaming world are 99% bullshit, conducted by the PR people.

What's so weird? Prop up the controller and it's a mini-tv, point the wiimote at it. Since one of the system's big features is the ability to switch from playing on tv to playing on the controller, it needs a way to play Wiimote games in that mode.

Miyamoto: Hi, I'm Miyamotosan, I'm here to tell you some of my hobbies. I enjoy long walks on the beach, hand holding and watching TV. Stay tuned to E3 for more info on my exciting hobbies.

"I've recently enlisted in the armed forces to whittle away my spare time since retiring from general oversight of our development teams. This has proven to be a very fun and educational hobby."

 

[snowdog1971]

yup. drift with m+ is actually pretty severe, especially when doing fast movements.

Sensor bar pointing precision and speed>>> gyro pointing precision and speed anyways.

Not when developers are using AILive's LiveMove2 middleware, it automatically recalibrates itself whenever the remote is held still. Red Steel 2 uses this and I've played through it twice without needing to recalibrate once. It's bloody annoying that Nintendo refuse to use it and you have to press down on the d-pad for a quick fix.

Myiamoto: I am a pro wrestler in my spare time. I run the JnWo (Japans New World Order) and am the Japan Lightweight Champion. Boy i would like to REPLAY THIS EXPERIENCE ON A CONSOLE *wink* *wink*

The game that will be released will be then:

MMM - Marios Machinegun Massacre *hrhr* featuring people looking alot like Kaz Hirai, Don Mattrik, Hideo Kojima and more!

Seriously, if the average game looks like that. I would die happy.

I should also point out the golf demo at last year's E3.

TV had the forward view. DRC was on the floor. You could see the ball as you looked down, and you used the Wii Remote to swing and hit the ball. I thought that was a really clever way to make accuracy in swing actually important in a golf game.

Uhm...I'm getting the idea...

Wait...WHAT!? Upad has a stand?!
sounds new to me...

 

[ReyVGM]

Wait, was it confirmed that there're two separate compiles of the game, not just a Wii version that happens to work on the Wii U?

For that matter, has it been confirmed whether they will be separate retail SKUs or they will be in the same package (or on the same disc)?

Different builds. Just like Twilight Princess.

I recall they said that the saves will be portable or interchangeable between versions. That if you play the Wii version and then move to the Wii U version you'll be able to take everything with you instead of starting over.

…huh, maybe I remembered something that never existed.

Closest I can find on short notice is this patent and this interview with Miyamoto, neither definitive announcements.

However, I think you can bank on it having a stand. It has to charge some way, and the 3DS has already paved the way for having a first-party charging cradle sold for Nintendo hardware.

I'm sad because I thought this story would end with "New Pro Wrestling"

I have a weird videogame idea like that at least once per day Man i would make the sickest Nintendo exclusive stuff that Nintendo would allow on their hardware, lol

It would either be extremely violent (Letting out steam in games is FUN FUN FUN) or so weird in general that it would count say "artsy" again

Well, if we must use the sensor bar to play tv-free pointing at it, I hope they'll offer me this stand.

So much for going after hardcore gamers. Well it was a pipedream to begin with, and Nintendo probably realized that no matter what they do they won't win those audiences over with WiiU.

Nintendo is doomed for not going to gamescom.

I said it before, I think there might be a camera on the Wii U sensor bar. It just makes to much sense for AR games.

The vast, vast majority of gamers who are locked into the current HD consoles have no idea what a gamescom is.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Hm. Well, there's a camera on the DRC sensor bar, so it wouldn't be completely crazy for them to make the regular Wii U sensor bar the same. That's a good idea.

 

[Sadist]

Outside of Germany and a few visitors from Holland, yup.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Are you actually going to be present? At E3, I mean, not with your girlfriend on your birthday.

No, but I've explained a correlation between football fandom (which she understands) and videogame fandom and that I'll need my nerd time at least for the conferences on those days.

She explained that she'll need her college football time too when that season is underway.

Edit: WHOO #999

 

[AzaK]

Put me in that camp as well.

Likewise. Ideaman seemed to hint strongly at 2GB IMO and with the later addition of the OS supposedly taking up LOTS of RAM, I'm even more in the 2GB camp.
