Hey, wait. RE6 isn't available for anything at this time, is it? OMG that tricky wording!
I'm assuming worse support than Wii.

Stop with the Kojima "joke" BS. One of the main reasons NeoGAF is so much better than IGN or GameFAQs boards is because of the rules against misleading people. This thread moves quickly, people *are* going to think that's real about some other developer saying that, and they'll include it in other conversations (and clutter the conversations in here too). I don't want this board turning into GameFAQs.
I'd like RE6 on Wii U..but would there really be much point on releasing it a month or so after the other versions? I'd probably release it as a "special edition"/"ultimate edition" 6 months later.
As much as it may pain some people.... I could see a new "Chronicles" game being the priority. Nintendo will want a title to show off the Wii U Zapper...and an RE game where you're aiming all around you shooting zombies would certainly be an obvious choice.

You can thank Ace for that. Three generations of promises and still the blind hope....
Yep! It'll have to be incorporated into the OP somehow.
I also like the "but.. it's Nintendo" and ""because Reggie farted that one time" memes.
Color me skeptical of any decent third-party support. It why any crash won't have me crying into my beer.

I would say the short list of announced games for the Wii U already beats the wii in that regard.
That's a pessimistic outlook. What was announced at E3 2011 was already more third party support than the Wii ever had.
I don't think it's too wrong to say that Wii U will have at least a tiny bit better third party support than Wii.

I think the ""because Reggie farted that one time" is only used in this thread though
btw, have I missed any substantial info or tidbits from Ideaman over the past few weeks I've been gone?
So if I assume worse, I won't be disappointed, now will I?
And do I get a hype train ticket or not!?!
Much of what was announced last E3 was late ports. Arkham City will be a year old when it lands on Wii U. On the other hand, Wii actually had some decent third party exclusives.
That said, Wii U will probably have at least slightly better third party support, especially from Japan.

If I remember right, I think the Wii game news was locked down just as tight - we didn't know anything about what was coming until the E3 before launch. Nintendo is skilled at shutting up developers on-the record
You misread, you couldn't be bothered to read whatever, its still the usual
Not available at this time isn't a denial.woo and indeed hoo

Are you okay now?
Serious question. I am genuinely concerned for your well being.
Plus I'm wondering how BurntPorky you are going to be
.I still don't know what HAM means.
Nor did I until I googled it.
I believe it means 'hard as a melon farmer'.
You may wish to replace the last two words with another, that makes more sense in context though.
You're free to believe that. I just think you're being slightly too skeptical. Having stronger 3rd support than the Wii isn't a particularly hard target.
Ask Nibel for the hype train ticket if he's still around. I've been away from this thread for a while.
Do you still remember ShockingAlberto's hints and tales of about certain developers thinking about adopting the Wii U? I'd say Japanese third party support will be a bit stronger than the Wii at the very least.
and I'd expect at least major western 3rd party multiplat games like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed to be on the Wii U. and ACIII's already announced.

We got hints and rampant speculations with the Wii. Just saying.
Still, I'll assume the worst.You misread, you couldn't be bothered to read whatever, its still the usual
Miyamoto will not support Wii U.
At this point, we knew about quite a few more titles. Rayman, Red Steel, Brothers in Arms 3, Tony Hawk: Downhill Jam, etc etc.
Either the NDA is stricter this time, or third parties aren't hiding their distaste any more. We shall see.
Nintendo not supporting the Wii U is gonna be a pickle, I bet.
Pikmin 3 and Lego City Stories aren't launch anymore?

E3 will be fun this year for me. I can't wait for the lid to be blown off. My free and clear Best Buy card is being saved for the WiiU Splosion at the end of the year.
Has anyone seen this clip of a guy who made something like Wii U zapper (with a screen)to play FPS's?
I know there's something similar for the iPhone but this makes the "move your screen to shoot" stuff they were doing with Killer Freaks from Outer Space look far more appealing.
It's worth a look-

Exactly. We got shit titles and shit third party support. Why is everyone here so optimistic?

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
It's IGN. The Nintendo side has a history of saying what they want from Nintendo's consoles (outlandish stuff) so they can write a negative article when they inevitably don't deliver. All last year, they kept insisting that the 3DS was flawed. And then when the Vita was released, they practically kept pleading with the 3DS owners to buy one.
The difference in tone between the "doomed" 3DS launch and the "successful" Vita launch was remarkable.

I understand that.
Cool but I'm asking if this sample format got carried over to the WiiU just for backwards compatibility OR it can/will be actively used.
Wouldn't an upgraded audio interface (WiiU's DSP) "require" an upgraded sample format to take advantage of it's upgraded capabilities? (5.1 support, etc)

Waluigi's Orphanage was actually announced as a launch window title. Creepy.
Also I liked Arkham City enough that I might double dip and buy it for the WiiU. Especially if they package it with the dlc...which would be awesome.
None of those games (save Red Steel) were announced until just before E3 '06.
EDIT: Actually, Brothers in Arms wasn't announced until '07.
No, Nintendo expect that Waluigi's Mansion will be enough.
A lot of those games weren't announced until late April, just weeks before E3. Nintendo just gave Ubisoft the exclusive early NDA lift for Red Steel.
The controller was just too unique for him.
Well yes I know Nintendo did that.
I meant it was interesting to see it being used in full motion with a real game...as opposed to just the snippet Nintendo showed zooming in on Mii's.
Lost Planet 3 looks pretty cool, but I'd be concerned given shitty developer Spark Unlimited's involved on the project. Capcom better know what its doing or else this franchise may as well go away if it continues to fail to impress.
I'm pretty confident that we'll see several of these games ported to Wii U. Besides, hasn't every RE game been ported/remade/HD collection with the exception of RE 5 ? 360 and PS3 are even getting an HD Umbrella Chronicles + Darkside edition and those games originally came out in 2007 and 2009. We may have to wait 6 months to a year, but Re 6 will probably be coming to Wii U. I just don't want to see Capcom waste its time bringing RE 5 over as well.

I don't get it, the optimism.
My hope is that we get:
- one Resident Evil 4/Beyond Good & Evil-level game per generation; and,
- one No More Heroes/Madworld-level game per year
That's about my best, realistic hope for support. Otherwise, it's a Nintendo-playing machine for me. And if Nintendo is ramping-up its production like I think they are, I'm quote fine with that.

Yeah. It was never confirmed if that was actual Wii U footage though.

Lego City Stories is one I'm very much looking forward to. I'll probably grab several of the lauch titles this go around. I'm secretly hoping for a Trauma Center sequel where the tablet is used to show the body you are working on...that would be rad.
That sounds terrifying.
Oooohh.. I rather like that. Hell, better than most anything I've heard.
(Steampunk case-modding folks could have a field day with that.)
I'm not sure if Atlus is in any position to make niche games not called Shin Megami Tensei/Persona anymore after being absorbed into Index Holdings. Although Etrian Odyssey 4 was announced really, so I dunno.
I hope they do make a Trauma Center/Team sequel though.

Look how successful they were
A successful Vita launch is selling 1/4th of what 3DS sold in its "doomed" launch. Or what is the exchange rate by now?
As long as the 1st and 2nd party games deliver on E3, im happy! Anything extra is just a nice and welcomed bonus!
Trauma Team bombed, so I'd say it's done, sadly.
I don't think anyone will be in a good position to make decisions like that for another 2 months.

edit: One of the reasons I made that hacked up "Nintendo u" logo a while back was to show that "nu" had point symmetry.
What's on the 28th... the Nintendo investor meeting? The CoD announcement?
Spark's Twitter replied to a tweet a few days ago that asked them if they had dev kits with something like "that would fall under NDA so we can't comment". They also said a Wii U port would be entirely up to the publisher so I imagine it could go either way.
They also literally said that the system "is on par with current gen systems", which I find difficult to believe was tweeted with no intention of getting a reaction.
That's the day after the Nintendo investor meeting.
What is it going to take for people to start believing this?
