They have all the major third party releases of earlier in the year, and are likely to have the more recent ones in 2013. Tricky position for nintendo though, they can't get everything because games take years to make.
pikmin 3, mario and more coming.
The console was revealed on sunday.

True, true.

NOLLOG.
DO IT NOW.

I'm pretty sure Namco was giving a facepalm to Nintendo when The Outfoxies got copied by SSB.

JUST SAYIN'

Dude!
Don't start another argument xD

*yawn*

Wooo....
good job, Sony, you are sooo original and cool making these games for the "Hardcore" (AKA Ignorant) gamer.

Long live sony...
...

WHAT.THE.F**K.
ENOUGH. E-F***ING-NOUGH.
What is it with these rumors, man?

My E3 speculation:

Wii U name change (I still like Super Wii, or calling it the new system NES again).

Big 3rd party support, perhaps even a Call of Duty on stage appearance.

Nintendo Network information and a SAME DAY system update for 3DS, allowing for your 3DS Friend Code to be attached to a much easier to use Nintendo Network ID.

First party launch window titles announced.

Release date: November 18, 2012. Price: $299

Dude, I f****** love your avatar.

Oh, and nice speculation, too. xD

We are four months away from one of the best events of every year,E3!
And this year, it's very special for us Nintendo fans! Why? Because of the Wii U!
So speculate, what do you think will happen in the Nintendo part of E3 2012?!
My Speculation-
Wii U Name Change
Price Reveal
Games
Support
NINTENDO NETWORK
Pikmin 3
More Features
Demos

Bump?
So I guess there's just 36 days left!
Many things have been said about the Wii U and Nintendo since this thread was created-
Plus, we've got Rayman Legends "Leaked" trailer, shows off NFC and graphical power?
Do you have new hopes/dreams or speculation about e3 now that we're so close to it?
But let's cross out some pretty possible stuff now-
Pikmin 3- Confirmed by the man itself
Graphical Power- We've pretty much seen that it's at least on "Par" with current gen in Rayman Legends
Retro's Game- It HAS to be shown, or at least mentioned
Monolith's Game- Oh, come on, Xenoblade was made in 2010, it's enough time for a concept to be shown!
Price- Iwata said No-no at the investor's meeting
Release Date- He also said no for the release date.

So, what do you guys think! We're sooo close!

four months, wait I thought it was 4 weeks away yeah i can't wait i want to hear more about pokemon black and white 2 i could careless about the wii u right now considering there hasn't been any huge annocement except for that one rumor about a new zelda game which was on the 3ds '

i could careless about the wii u right now
i could careless about the wii u right now
i could careless about the wii u right now
i could careless about the wii u right now
i could careless about the wii u right now

What are you doing on Wii U Forums, then?

This is very good news. Nintendo might actually get it right the first time around. Now I need them to make sure the 3rd party games are there.

...
.....
.........

Real Pokemon?


I think not. They look disgusting.

What pokemon is that? There are better looking ones.

Hitmonchan.
He's cool.

There is a God?
Thank you, God.

i have been talking with others about this for a while now on other forums and i could write an essay on it there are many thoughts that come to mind about this, im going to spew them all out.

1) Often a publisher chooses the platforms that a game comes to, not the studio. if that is the case here, then crytek may have just not gotten the word from EA to do it yet, and that they just dont expect it. EA has commited to supporting the system and so they could in the near future tell crytek to port the game over.

2) i decided to research this, im not sure about EA's partnership with crytek specifically, but i know that their partnerships with some other studios have been quite weak, meaning EA's power over them might be weak too. if this applies to crytek and EA's partnership, EA might have little power over crytek's games and the systems they come to.

3) EA does now have a partnership with nintendo, however it may be that that partnership only applies to games that are developed from 2012 onwards (or something like that) that means crysis 3 wont have to come, but every game after it will.

4)no system in history has had as much praise as wii u is getting from third parties, usually systems barely get any games at launch so dont be too disappointed if this game doesnt come, its still early in the life cycle, the support is still remarkable for this stage.

5) Crytek makes gorgous games, they like to push graphics, its not like them to settle for the weakest. wii u should be first on their mind after PC, not just 7 year old tech (ps360) so they may well bring this game to the system but just cant say anything yet.

6) nintendo has these beastly NDAs (and ninjas) making sure no one peeps. nintendo im sure was disappointed that third parties leaked project cafe last year. they're not letting any leaks out this time, and it could be that this guy is being made to deny a wii u version, just like capcom with RE6. we've never seen devs being so hushed before this.

7) though he did say a double negative, i dont think its hint at anything, clearly the dude is foreign and his grammer isnt perfect

Maybe Nintendo rejected Origin on Wii U and EA is now butthurt?
It's a possibility. Or maybe it could just be that stupid NDA.

Yeah, but if it was a cute girl on the other end?

PERCEPTION CHANGED!

YOU MAKE THINGS SO HARD!
... Balls... or cute girls...
Oh my God, such a dilemma.

no new routes, story might be different, but its most likely the same engine and actual gameplay from previous versions

unless they actually decided to do something different than the gameplay of modern warfare on their 5th title afterwords, no?

I beg of everyone to not buy this game, tell treyarch how it feels to fear the fans of Nintendo ;-)

edit: before people disagree with pointless points, I did see the robot thingy and horses, it will hardly add any new aspect to game mechanics though, and you will still get dumped off into a corner to shoot heads coming out of tin cans

lol Treyarch has worked on a "Horse Scat" load of Nintendo Wii games/ CoD ports...
What fear?

i bet they will use the tablet for video chat!! will be awesome

Uh...
Dude, I don't think anyone wants to video chat while playing games like CoD.
I don't want to get teabagged on video chat.
oh God no.

- version 5 of the dev kits are near final
- there was a delay in getting out these dev kits of around one month
- these are mass produced dev kits
- a small handful of Japanese devs may have had the V5 kits a tad earlier
- it seems that at least one game engine saw some improvement in how it ran from the V4 kit to V5
- if the dev kits are updated again, any refinements will be small
- One of the dev kit aspects (in comparison to the v4 ones) is '...original'
- the new dev kits also came with an additional bit of good news (no details behind this news)

Ideaman also said the good news is something everyone will love and the Wii U's power is "Wii U is primarily an experience, and it will be power-wise efficient and powerful enough for Nintendo and a lot of third-parties needs"

Speaking about the guy, he's suddenly getting alot of hate in the Neogaf thread, for some reason, People are starting to believe he's been spreading Bullcrap the whole time, which could be true. It worries me.

The worst fan base goes to:


Seriously, you move it around, and that base just gets caught on everything. EVERYTHING!

I lol'd so f****** hard at this comment, seriously auzzie, you are just way too awesome. xD

...

Please stop posting these kind of news, we already know they are fake.

4chan.

Oh god eww don't mention that.
It gets freaking horrible when they attack FunnyJunk
lol

I read the thread title after E3 2012.
I thought "Book it" was a pun because Wonderbook was shown, and there was no PS4 Tech Demo...



Never mind.

Donkey Kong belongs to Nintendo I thought.
What stops them releasing a remake on a console?

Oh god no, please don't let this be Retro's new project.
I just want them to work on something else, we already got a Donkey Kong game on 2010!
:/

NSS
Nintendo
Streaming
System

Lurking on Neogaf, I found this and... I hope it's.. bullcrap!
Post from a Neogaf user called "Bgassasin"-

Wsippel gave me the heads up on a very interesting post on B3D.

From what I hear (and I trust my source on this as reliable), the CPU chip in WiiU is almost certainly weaker than Xenon & Cell. Which is why some devs have outright refused to port their existing (in-development) PS360 games to it. I believe Nintendo indended the GPU compute support to make up the difference for their weak CPU choice, however the CPU performance is so bad that devs would be required to refactor their entire engines to get stuff working on the GPU instead, and for many dev that would be impossible on their current project schedules.

-------------------------------------------
Uh... Speculate! I honestly don't know what to believe anymore. You have these comments from developers saying that the Wii U is powerful but then you have these people with "Sources" on forums. I... I really don't want to be stuck with crappy hardware for yet another generation (2 gens with GC/PS2 FTW!)
So what do you think?

Wouldn't be surprised after all that we're hearing lately. What DOES confuse me though, is that wasn't there a dev a month or two ago that came out and said the Wii U had a "really great processor"?

Yes, and this is the kind of crap that confuses me. I don't know.. I don't think we'll know anything about the Wii U's power until it's actually released. It's scary... and if Nintendo does indeed make the Wii U "On Par" with PS360... I think they might actually be doomed this time.
