WiiU will need to get almost all the third party multiplatforms and these titles must perform well for me to consider the WiiU a success.
I want this X100000000
I really hope we get a true Mario successor unveiled at the conference that is confirmed for launch. Something akin to Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy.
God, the hype rises....
So, I've decided on my launch buying plans:
Wii U
Pro Controller
New Super Mario Bros. U
Zombii U
Batman: AC: AE
I'll pick up ACIII and BLOPs 2 at some point in 2012, also. Pikmin 3 when it eventually launches.
... That being said, I think I think it's a somewhat safe bet that the Wii U version of BLOPs 2 will be unveiled on September 13. Is there any chance Nintendo moneyhat'd any special features, maps, etc?
I am looking forward to what they say about Nintendo Land. I'm not spending any money on that (I have no use for a local multiplayer mini-game) but it will be interesting to see how they address the game given that people still see it as a mini-game collection that needs to be a pack-in. They 've said before there is more to it but they've yet to show that. They have to show and explain why it's worthy of being a full price retail game and should not be looked at as a cheap mini-game collection. A tech demo that needs to be packed in with the system. Until they prove that it isn't, that's all it really is to me regardless to how much fun it might be.

What's Umbra Software?
The purpose of Umbra 3 is to increase frame rate and help you get better performance out of your game.
Umbra 3 does this by optimizing critical parts of a game such as rendering and by providing tools to help with content streaming and game logic. We offer solutions that either work 100% on the CPU or use both the CPU and the GPU.
Umbra 3 builds an internal representation of a game scene and uses this data at runtime to perform efficient queries that can be used to e.g. determine the set of visible objects for the player or determine the set of objects that are within a given distance from a point.
Umbra 3 is available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, pc, iOS, handheld platforms and others on request.
Don't set yourself up for disappointment. You really believe they'd launch with TWO Mario games and with another Mario game that came out a few months for their portable platform?
Mario is their safe-bet seller. They need a 3D Mario for later.
100% guaranteed this will not happen. Most definitely not for launch.
This is just ridiculous mass suggestion on nintendo threads. Were Fusion Frenzy, Mario Party 9, Wii Sports Resort, and other variety games released in retail? Nintendo Land is touting a higher sales potential than all those properties. You have a choice to buy the game or not once you see it finished.
If you wanted to a bit more logical about intelligently bundling the game, it would
be bundling the game with a wii motion plus controller. Same way Nintendo sold billions of wii fits and wii plays.
We knew about this a week or so ago man. I'm wondering if it Nintendo is licensing for all WiiU dev, like the Havok stuff, or if devs have to pay for it individually.
I want Battalion Wars 3. Godamnit, what I'd give to have that game. Who I'd kill to have that game... *narrows eyes at Ideaman*
Wait. They made a Battalion Wars 2??
I recall a while back seeing an article that stated that Nintendo wished they had gotten Galaxy out at launch. I think for the casual gamer, seeing a game as robust as something like that with a familiar face will drive non-believers back to Nintendo hardware. Mario sells hardware.
The same exact thing could be said of Wii Sports. Reggie has even called it "The Wii Sports for the Wii U hardware".
I have a hard time believing it'll be sold separately.
This reminded me that the WiiU has a I/O processor, GPGPU and a DSP. But this does bring up a question. Now we keep hearing that the WiiU's CPU is weak, but is it possible that it is just being programmed for incorrectly? By this I mean, the games being ported to the WiiU are made for consoles that have in-order CPUs, older GPU's that are not GPGPU's and no DSP. Couldn't that, theoretically, be holding down the WiiU's CPU with unnecessary processes and making it slower than it should be?
Really? hmmm.. didn't see it
well, it doesn't hurt to post it again. After all, we have a lot of new posters now and probably didn't know.
Has it ever actually been officially confirmed that NintendoLand won't have online multiplayer?

I want a RTS on this system, i want the BEST CONSOLE RTS EVA SEEN on this system ><
So I just read VC games on Wii were upscaled from 240p to 480p through an emulator to match Wii's output so I was wondering... If gamecube games are confirmed to be on the virtual console is it possible for them to upscale the games or maybe render those games at 720p?
I think it is possible but since Wii U can output 420p and Nintendo loves easy money just puting them available for download would be enough and call it a day

In case you didn't realize NSMB sells way, way, way, way, way more than any 3D mario game. It is by far the bigger system seller, why in the world would they want to release a 3D mario at launch when NSMBU is already there?
Did GameStop do a midnight launch for the Wii? I'd prefer to do Best Buy but there's no way I'm braving any of their insane November shopping lines.
I still don't see the appeal for online play in that game.

The appeal is simple. I won't have 5 people in my house wanting to play video games more than 1 or 2 times a year. But many of the articles written about the playtime with this game say it is easily it's most fun when you play the 5 player games (IE Luigi ghost and the Animal crossing candy one).
I'm 30 years old; I don't have friends come over to play video games with me anymore. I might get family to come over during the holiday's but they aren't gamers.
Nintendo has said they want this game to be played and experienced by everyone, but how do they expect some of us to play it when it's only local play? The single player DK game they demo'd is not really up my ally and not something I would play more than once or twice. There are 7 other games to still being shown, but how many of them will be single player ones?
I don't really understand why online would make it less appealing? You can voice chat, video chat, etc to minimize the 'distance'. You can turn off voice chat for the person using the gamepad in games like Luigi's ghost so only the other players can talk to each other.

What about Battle Mii? Is it still just a tech demo or a real game? Sigh... I want this game so bad.

The only CONS of this thread returning to Gaming ? The time it takes to ketchup ><
And with voice commands.
Yep they did and so did Toys R Us
I'm betting it will turn out to be the Metroid game in Nintendo Land....
Retro Studios has not released anything since 2010 (Donkey Kong) but did help on Mario Kart 7. They are almost tithing the 2 year mark. Xmas 2013.
Monolith Software finished Xenoblade in 2010 so they should be ready soon. They're hitting the 2 year mark. Their game should be ready by Xmas 2013.
