I think people are making the mistake that moving the HUD to the controller is an improvement in all cases. For much of the HUD stuff it would be obnoxious to have to look down at your lap to get crucial information. Nintendo's not going to take Link's heart meter or the mph of F-Zero off the main screen, for example.

I agree. I do turn the visor edges off, but I always leave the HUD on. If it doesn't really look like a visor in some way, it's going to take away from the experience. But maybe as long as you get that fog and water droplets, I think it would work fine.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
We haven't heard anything about that recently and I'm wondering if they improved the range at all. Would be nice.
That would be appropriate; I love how there's a curve to the visor to simulate that feeling. But lots of games could definitely use help in getting rid of that clutter.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

It's damn near essential.

Amen. If it had a range similar to a wi-fi device, that would work really well. Being able to go upstairs to the bedroom with the uPad would be a godsend.

Yeah, and the slight internal reflection of Samus' face. Fuck Prime is amazing.
Linkage please?
HAHAHA! So I guess he doesn't like money.
Well, everybody is going to have their own preferences and considering that Nintendo is advertising both a HUDless TV screen and playing games completely on the Wii U controller (which will have to have the HUD is some form on the little screen) I'm sure they'll provide us with a variety of customizable options.

Well, people did constantly try to compare them back when, so that would be funny.
Especially if Retro is the one working on it. They always have good options.

I don't get the point of the quick reply thing.
I'd love to hear the story behind this, so we judge if they're full of shit or not.

What did Bioware even do on a Nintendo Console?
-Pyromaniac-

Yep.
They remind me of that developer who made the Oddworld games.
They said they would never make games for Nintendo due to bad experiences with them.
This Baldurs Gate thing is being done by Overhaul Games, who brought MDK2 to Wiiware.

makes formatting posts super easy and on the fly, just hit the neogaf icon on all the posts you want to reply to, then when you're done reading you'll be at the bottom in which you can reply completely without leaving screen. Other things as well.
This will always be what i associate Pikmin with:

PS: loved the pokemon reference (spaceship "Dolphin" when viewed from above) in the opening cutscene.

Someone needs to ask Reggie to respond to this and similar statements by developers.
I can't with the pad.. :/

So they sucked at developing for the Wii and blame it on Nintendo?
Personally I wish more devs would just come out and say "We don't want to develop for Nintendo".
It's better than hearing devs make hundreds of excuses for why their games didn't end up on a Nintendo console.
They should cut the shit and just be more blunt and upfront with their dislike for Nintendo.

Didn't they do the MDK game for Wiiware? My guess is that they had a beef with the size of the file. Of course, Nintendo won't budge about that kind of stuff. I can see how that would sour a person's impression of a company. Not being able to change the pricing or any of that would suck as well. Maybe in the end they got nothing. Maybe they'll change their mind when new hardware comes out and they can have a bit more freedom to do it the way they want.
Agree. Letting this go unanswered is bad form, and lets clowns like us go crazy with speculation..
A shame. I've enjoyed BG games in the past.
Cheers, will take a look.
Oh really? Bummer cause I browse NeoGaf on my iPad about 90% of the time.

Jesus, that's not a good sign at all.
Dunno if we need to because it's easy to imagine how Nintendo were (are) arseholes and very controlling with respect to their dealing with developers and who knows how long ago this happened?
I agree. If it's a HUD element that's looked at constantly or in urgency (Life) then it should be on the main area.
They've been talking about making a next gen game for a while now and I doubt they would have had such early access to any next gen console that isn't the Wii U since those are still further away from release. It pretty much has to be ED 2, Nintendo still owns part of SK and they need a 'hardcore' game for the Wii U. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo has some of their own devs collaborating on it too. And like with other games which Nintendo collaborates with Western 3rd parties on, I wouldn't be worried about quality, despite SK's output over the last 5 or so years.
The only question is when we can expect it, and I think we may well see it at E3 this year, but wouldn't expect it to release until sometime next year.
Their only Wii game was Wiiware. You know, that service that severely restricts files sizes.
That would drive me crazy, to see a new ED title at E3 so much sooner than I'd expect. I mean, this possibility wasn't even on my radar a few months ago!
so if a developer makes a crappy game then what's the excuse?
They did that one Sonic game. Annnnnd... well there was that one Sonic game.

Yeah, and with a game like F-Zero when would you EVER have a moment to take your eyes off the main screen?
Umm..Nintendo made it crappy
What I was trying to say is that people are assuming someone is a dickhead just because they had bad dealing with Nintendo and won't work with them again. When, if we look back through history we know Nintendo have been very demanding and controlling over their licensees.Me too, I never thought there would be a sequel but now it looks almost certain. I really hope that if they are making it that Nintendo does push it as a big game to the hardcore audience.
My thing on the size limit is this: if they agreed to develop, surely they knew of the limit beforehand, right? They can't really whine about a known, established limit.
I imagine never although I've never played F-Zero <ducks>.

Get out
Oh my. You're in for a real treat. How I envy you!
Sure they can agree to it. Doesn't mean they have to like it or ever let Nintendo live it down.
