Well there was that ever so kind (i'm really bitter towards them it seems) analyst who claimed that Activision wasn't on-board supporting the Wii U.
And some people still believe that, and it can still be the case, we shall see.
Haha, it is kinda hard to resist going online, yeah But i've been "lucky" with both Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3. I ordered both games online at their launches, and both time i got the games 3-4 days before the official launch due to fast mail service. When i got the games, the online part wasnt activated yet, so my only choice was to play offline/single player.I bet you cave and go online pretty quick
Let's be serious for a second. Does anyone here actually buy CoD games for single player? I don't think I have ever beaten the single player campaign. I've always dived into multiplayer and spent 100% of my time with CoD playing multiplayer.
If it is possible, then it will be like it is on Xbox 360 and older PC game (and maybe some newer PC games as well). You can install the full game, but you need the disc inserted when booting the game.Do we know if it will be possible to install retail games since it will be possible to download it?
They most likely won't allow it. I believe it's due to the fact that people will just install and return the game after they install a copy on their HDD or SD card. Then again, they can just do what MS is doing and make it so that you must have the disc in the tray, but that defeats the purpose of installing a game if you're too lazy to change discs.

When i get Black Ops 2, i will start with the single player. But i'm not sure that i will be able to stay away from the online before i've finished the single player hehe.
Yeah I should have rephrased what I was said. I meant to say that most people don't buy CoD for it's single player campaign.I'm probably a split. I don't buy COD for the single player but I dont buy it for the multiplayer either. It's a pretty well rounded package, for me. Throw in zombie modes and a few of the other extra's and I think the COD games are reasonably good value. I think the single player modes are good for 2 or 3 play throughs in a throwaway, blockbuster movie sort of way.
Not the biggest COD fan in the world but I'll be pleased if it comes to Wii U, whether I buy it or not.
Yeah i mean like MS, sometime i install them because my dvd player make too much noise and some games load better.

They can just have it dial up and check to see if you have the game registered as a purchase. This seems pretty simple (albeit annoying to some degree potentially for some* users).
* this includes me, but I'm willing to bite the bullet this time, as long as the dialup isn't required if you use the physical disc

True heheNo man (or woman) can resist jumping to online mode when they have a chance to. Haha
Do you plan on getting Black Ops 2 for Wii U for for another console/PC?
That analyst had no inside sources. He just read about Kojima saying no to Project Ogre on Wii U and decided from there, "Konami only plans limited support!", and then looked at the list of announced Activision games, didn't see Wii U anywhere, and said, "Activision isn't supporting Wii U at all!" Analysts are idiots.
True hehe
I'm getting the PS3 version myself, but i'm interesting in seeing what the WiiU version will offer (same with the Vita version (assumably) for that matter). Are you getting the WiiU version?
Press Release
SONY, MICROSOFT AND NINTENDO ARE BATTLING OVER “THE UNDECIDEDS”
IGN SURVEY SHOWS 14% UNSURE ABOUT NEXT-GEN VIDEOGAME CONSOLE PURCHASE
Console Makers Must Court PlayStation 2-Owner Fans of “Lost” who Listen to Gorillaz on their MP3 Players and Eat at Taco Bell, According to IGN
May 1, 2006 - Brisbane, Calif. - In the race to be the leading next-generation console, any of the three manufacturers can take the prize, according to results of a recent study by IGN Entertainment’s GamerMetrics and IGN Research Solutions. The “IGN Research: Next-Gen Console Allegiance” survey shows that while 36% of the IGN.com audience claims loyalty to the PlayStation 3, the spread is narrow enough for the undecided 14% to make the critical difference. 28% say they have the strongest allegiance to the Xbox 360, while 22% pledge their faithfulness to the Nintendo Wii. IGN’s survey also profiled and analyzed the undecided gamer by lifestyle choices, media consumption habits, favorite brands and game genre preferences to understand what Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony need to consider as they strategize to emerge as the victor.
One noteworthy quality about the undecided gamers is the fact that they prefer role-playing games (RPGs), while the favorite genre of the entire survey sample is Action. This, coupled with the fact that 79% currently own a PlayStation 2 - traditionally considered the top console for players of RPGs - might give Sony the edge over their competitors.
Favorite brands of the undecided gamers include Google, Apple, Coke, Taco Bell, Target and Dell. The group’s affinity for youth-focused brands that offer quality products for reasonable prices might favor Nintendo’s next-gen approach.
Gamers undecided about their next-gen purchases seem to spend more time and money consuming their entertainment at home. More have sizable DVD collections than go out to the movies (67% own at least 20 DVDs, while only 50% went to see a
movie within the 30 days before taking the survey), and many (47%) plan to buy an HDTV. They won’t be using it to watch MTV, however. Only 17% watch “Punk’d,” while an even smaller 10% watch “The Real World.” Undecided gamers will
instead be watching their choice television drama, “Lost,” as will those allied with the Xbox 360, a positive sign for Microsoft. PlayStation 3 enthusiasts by and large prefer “24,” while Nintendo Wii devotees favor “Smallville.”
Other findings about the undecided gamer include:
. 70% own a handheld gaming device (their preferred handheld being the PSP)
. 90% regularly download music from the internet; 60% own MP3 players
. Favorite band is Gorillaz (which is true also for those most excited about
the Nintendo Wii. Xbox 360 fans prefer Nirvana, while those awaiting the
PlayStation 3 most enjoy Eminem.)
IGN’s research suggests that Microsoft must lose its reputation as being first and foremost for the First-Person Shooter crowd to appeal to a broader market. Nintendo must appeal to the consumer who can not afford to spend close to $500 on a new console and Sony must reach out to their loyalists by promoting backwards capability with the PlayStation 2 and offering functionality with the PSP.
no one knows if it's going to come out eventually, but as of right now, it's not coming at launch or for a while, unless Nintendo surprises at E3 with the announcement and capcom lied.So I have spotted rumblings about "No RE 6" on Wii U in various Gaf threads. Where is this info about there being no RE 6 version for Wii U coming from?

we all laugh at nintendoSo what happens when E3 comes and goes, and there still isn't much announced software wise. Do we still cling to a mystery NDA?

Capcom was asked, and they said that they're not working on a Wii U version right now.

Well Capcom says many things. If they are indeed not working on a version of RE 6 for Wii U, which is highly unlikely IMO, then the company is run by a bunch of idiots. Missing out on launch is one of the dumbest things they can do.
So what happens when E3 comes and goes, and there still isn't much announced software wise. Do we still cling to a mystery NDA?
Well they wouldn't be the first one to do so. But, yeah, after Capcom Wii fiasco I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom is happy poisoning another well with shitty support or lack of it.I don't think they would just flat-out lie. It's definitely not coming at launch.
So what happens when E3 comes and goes, and there still isn't much announced software wise. Do we still cling to a mystery NDA?
Time for another blast from the past!!!
This week in 2006, a survey about console allegiance came out. I don't read too much into it, but as someone who loves B.S. stats, I always get a kick out of this kind of stuff.

The only recent addition (apart from Bloober Team of course) to Wii U categories is that of ROYAL ELECTRONICS INC under the categories Compilations, Distributor, Hardware, Localization and Retail.Bloober Team appeared in several categories on mapyourshow, like Action, Adventure, Arcade, Shooter.
The polish studio has some games on WiiWare and DsiWare like Last Flight, Paper Wars, Bloons, Double Bloob, and their most recent title is the Lost-Viking inspired A-men for PS Vita.
Let's hope they're developing a good project for the Wii U eShop
I think there's other new additions on other categories as well but don't have time to check if they already have been reported here.

Nintendo seriously missed out on this market by fumbling with Xenoblade, Last Story, Panadora Tower, etc. Lets see what they will offer with WiiU.
Pretty much. If they want to skip the Nintendo platform again, I'm not going to financially reward them for that behaviour. They can go and.. {*grumble, grumble!*}We show middle finger to 3rd parties and continue buying Nintendo games as usual.
I don't think folks cling to mysterious NDAs now.
But if not much is announced at e3, well Nintendo screwed the pooch in convincing 3rd parties over the past year and a half, which isn't a good thing.

I found this so boring I didn't even bother to report it. These were added last week.
We're all still sure there's an NDA. Deny it if you want, but it exists.

Pretty much, bar Ubisoft for some reason. Maybe because we knew of the majority of their titles (AC3, Killer Freaks etc) last E3.
lol there aren't 200 games that sold a million copies on wii
Hm, did a quick Google search and i found about 20 3rd party titles that have sold over 1 million copies each in the US. I dont think that there are many extra games in Europe that has sold a million copies. In Japan there is Monster Hunter 3. So maybe he ment 20 instead of 200.
I would like to know where he got the number.
It is within possibility, but the only numbers Nintendo has really given is the list of games that have sold 1 million copies in the US only as of the third calendar quarter of 2011. This quantity is forty-two.
Given that it is now over half a year later and that this million seller number is from one country only, it is certainly possible. We'd need to see, for example, a list of "half-million sellers" in the US, which would probably be a lot closer to that 200 mark.
I can say this: Jokeropia did not get his number from that site. The numbers they have aren't even close to what he's providing.
edit: I should note that the overall software sales in the US of the Wii is in the same ballpark as the Xbox 360's and is likely decently higher worldwide overall. We did some calculation on this earlier during a slow night, and I'll try to find it.
Thanks, JJConrad. I have to wonder why so many people misread that comment. If I only meant Wii, I wouldn't say "Nintendo platforms".Nintendo used to release counts for the number of million sellers for each of there systems during the financial results briefings. They haven't done that list since the end of last fiscal year. At that time there were 243 worldwide million sellers for the two "Nintendo platforms this generation," 161 of those being third party titles. Given the extra year, claiming "'about' 200" titles should be close enough.
No man (or woman) can resist jumping to online mode when they have a chance to. Haha
Pretty much. If they want to skip the Nintendo platform again, I'm not going to financially reward them for that behaviour. They can go and.. {*grumble, grumble!*}
Depends how you mean, I have not played ANY of my PS3 games online, and I have a few that have online modes, Uncharted 2 is the only one, and that's for 5mins to get the 2 online trophies that existed, nothing more.
Chances are that the NDA doesn't end until the start of Nintendo's conference.
