I can breed one for you, if you want. Just let me know and I'll get to it.

I think a Dragonball game will come to the WiiU, the game on the Wii was quite well received as far as I know. I'd definately buy a new Dragonball game

I do know that they will use a modified card, but this was all the material I had to compare one with another ^^, Hopefully they will release some more info on the hardware soon, don't want to wait till the E3.

Trolls?

Correct!

Seriously, if you wanna bash Nintendo or any gaming company for that matter, than do it right. Dont rearrange words.

For example, this article here http://www.escapistm...e-Says-Miyamoto says "Wii U graphics won't amaze people" or how Reggie said "Wii U will be powerful enough to run all HD games".

http://wiiugo.com/re...-is-not-enough/

Nintendo themselves are contradicted each other.

One article in june, another one in january. Yea, then things are bound to contradict after such a time period ^^,. You're right though: if one wants to bash, atleast do it good. Regarding the article from the first post: worthless. People do anything these days to get attention. What are those people called? Hmm..

Let me start by saying I don't know anything about hardware, specs, etc.. However, I've looked up some benchmarks from the cards you mentioned and compared them with the Xbox360 card (well, a similar card actually) and the Ps3 Card.

GeForce 7900 GT:    623
Radeon HD 4870:        1,740
Radeon HD 4850:        1,333
Radeon HD 4830:        1,254
All-in-Wonder X1800XL:    700 (same architecture was used for the Xbox cards, so I'm guessing it's roughly the same. if anyone knows a better card to compare, please share)

When comparing, it's noticable that the mentioned cards for the WiiU will be roughly 2 times as strong as the ones used in the Ps3 and Xbox (except the 4830, which isn't close to being twice as strong). If the rumours are true (WiiU twice as powerfull as the Xbox 360), the only logical option would be a card like the HD 4870. It's the only card that is actually twice as strong as the Xbox-similar card and the prices between the mentioned HD cards don't vary much at all. The production costs (especially in large orders) should be roughly the same, so to me that's another reason why the 4870 card is the most obvious choice to make. Anyway, that's just my non-professional input lol. Also, the 4870 is the only card that supports 256 bit DDR5, something I bet game developers would prefer over DDR3.

Orion, care to explain what stream processing units actually does/mean? And what do you think is roughly the difference between the 4870 and the 4850 (the cards I think stand the most chance)?

Resident evil: I like them. Ofcourse they are not masterpieces, but I don't mind watching them.

Prince of Persia: It wasn't bad at all. Again, not a masterpiece but it never tried to be.

I wouldn't mind an Assassin's Creed movie, Ubisoft even has this idea. However, Ubisoft want to control about the whole process and the big moviestudios aren't up to it. Guess this movie will have to wait a while, if it's going to happen.

In-a-gadda-da-vida! Great song, original version lasts 17 minutes <3 The song is by Iron Butterfly.

Anyone got the Arceus from the give-away? Got a bad one myself lol, Brave nature (+ attack - speed) with only a "decent" overall IV. I don't mind too much though, never use legendaries in battle anyway.

Most likely some Nintendo 1st-party games, and if a certain third-party title attracts my eye I'll get that too. I might even get some games via Virtual Console (I'm guessing it'll show up on the WiiU aswell).

This is a picture with the camera view, I like.



The picture is ridiculous hough.

My fav.

I like those, and that bulbasaur pic. Ha, that sort of gameplay would be amazing. Guess it's a dream for most Pokemon fans and whenever discussing the option of a full 3d maingame for the WiiU, that picture pops up. It's what people want, but unfortunatley won't get. Conservative people there at Nintendo. On a sidenote, some people still prefer the mainseries to be handheld only, such as Mootap. I can understand why though, but I think both will work. The mainseries on a portable will always be popular, regardless of a mainseries on a console. That's what I think anyway.

I actually think the battles should be made to be a bit more fluid. So while you're selecting you moves etc, the Pokemon aren't just sitting there waiting, they're having at eachother with simple melee attacks, all being blocked or dodged (because it obviously shouldn't effect the battle, it's just for aesthetics) And when a proper attack is selected, your trainer shouts it out in a dramatic cinematic way, and the Pokemon follows suit.

While a lot of people have idea to move Pokemon away from turn based gameplay, it's that simple gameplay that keeps non-gamers coming back to the series. It's so established as well. It's just not an option, it has to stay turn based. But with my suggestion above, it would possibly look more fluid?

In response to
NovusRex

That's a great idea. The pokemon moving the tail around while waiting for an order is just a bit silly. So yea, simple fighting/moving animations would definately add a lot to the game. It shouldn't be that hard to create actually, and I hope it will happen. The WiiU seems powerfull enough for it, so why not?

I also agree that the games should remain turn-based, that's the whole heart and soul of the pokemon games. Only spinoffs can change this (e.g. Rumble), but mainseries should definately remain turn-based, whether on console or portable.

Btw, got to love Dragonball Z <3

Hmm, guess we have to teach the Nintendo-lads which games are really great

I think both black and white are the must-have options. Most homesets (tv, audio/video receiver, dvd/blu ray player, etc.) are either black or white and it would look rather ugly for me to put an white WiiU between my all-black set I can see that this isn'r relevant or important to perhaps most gamers though. However, I agree with the arguments some people in this thread gave aswell. Black is more likely to attract "hardcore gamers".

I don't think Microsoft can be blamed for the "demise" of pc-gaming, rather game developers and publishers themselves. Microsoft isn't known for making games and releasing them, all they do for the pc's is make a operating system which millions of people use. Microsoft made DirectX, which helps game developers a lot. Anyway, game publishers decide what games come to the PC and what not. It's a lot cheaper for them to port a console game to the pc, instead of making a new title of it's own. I don't mind that often really. It gave us great brands, such as Grand Theft Auto and Assassin's Creed. FPS are a whole different story though, I feel the pc must be the first priority here (which in most cases it isn't, sadly).

Then there is piracy. which is supposed to damaged the pc-gaming aswell. I don't buy this really, great titles will still sell well on the pc regardless of piracy. When a game has great multiplayer support, chances of buying an original game will increase aswell. It's all about quality really, and marketing ofcourse. I agree that the kinect stuff for pc and laptops seems a bit unnecessary, but perhaps people will like it nevertheless. I don't care much, aslong developers release great titles. Original titles! Creativity, I think that's the thing that destroys pc-gaming at the moment. Lack of creativty, that is. RTS games? Fast-paces FPS shooters like Quake? A high-quality flying simulator? Too many sequels and prequels and stuff nowadays. Battlefield 3, as much as I enjoy playing it, seems like quite an unoriginal game and very buggy aswell. Anno 2012, that should not have happened. The CoD series have gone downhill ever since CoD MW2, in my humble opinion. I still find Assassin's Creed 1 the best in the series, the atmoshpere was just right. Gritty, a bit ugly feeling and graphics really captured the great Medieval world. The sequels were too "pretty" for an Assassin's game (note: with this I don't mean the graphics quality itself, but more the way the environment is pictured) and Revelations didn't add much new stuff to the series, and the multiplayer. I still love it, but it's far, far from perfect.

Anyway, I'm getting rather offtopic here. Shame on me ^^, It's rater amusing though that most ports I actually enjoy. AssCreed is developed for the consoles in mind, not the pc. Fighting games like Street Fighter, likewise. GTA franchise. Battlefield 3, well.. I think that is made with consoles in mind, not the pc. Hence the lack of destruction. I still enjoy it though. CoD games are most definately made with consoles in mind, same with Crysis 2. With consoles in mind, I mena: First priority. In the end it makes sense, that's where the big money is. Still, pc-market is still a great market for game devlopers.

A question in general, would any of you people buy a Stadium/Colloseum like game with full generation IV/V (and the sequel) compatibility, together with more detailed and challenging online gameplay? I'm quite sure a game like this will come to the WiiU and I guess that should keep us satisfied, untill Nintendo/Gamefreak actually pushes the enveloppe by making a full 3d mainseries game for the console.

Don't you think the pokemon models like a bit too much... "clay" like? It seems more like a figure to me than a living being. More like a toy ^^, Still, I won't complain if the models are like that, aslong the gameplay would be good.

also 1 more story. http://www.xbitlabs....ess_Gaikai.html

Thats bad news for console gamers, and I will not try to guess who may that be.. If its true. Some people who searched this info a bit further, found out, that one of this 3 players in the market (SONY, MS, Nintendo).. Didn’t renewed their contracts.. About something they must do always.. Not into many info about it (but its true). Surelly its not Nintendo, as wii U is almost ready and announced.

So maybe one of the 2 (sony, microsoft), is lying.. Thats totally unofficial info, don’t take it in granted.

Both have reasons to do so, Sony just started after all this years, to have some profits with ps3 and VITA is doing really bad. Microsoft announced that they want to invest in pc gaming! They also announced Kinetic for pc.. Both had hardware failures and overpowered with money loss from the hardware and xbox is not selling much software.. so who knows. Both have the same chances..

I think the article is coming to the wrong conclusion. Nintendo will make a new console, well.. kinda obvious ha? That leaves Sony and Microsoft. Which of those two companies has the most money right now to invest and doesn't have many other priorities? I think that would be Microsoft. Although relatively new to the console market, they know what they are doing and haven't gone wrong so far. The Xbox360 is quite popular in some parts of the world and a new updated console will probably sell well, if they keep it reasonibly prized.

Sony on the other hand have a habit of overpricing hardware, in my opinion. 250-300 dollar/euro for a portable device (vita) is just too much for me. Same goes for the 3DS, I bought it after the price cut, the original price was just too high. 3ds sold rather bad at first, hence the price drop. The 3ds costs now around 170 euro, a big gap compared to the Vita despite being about a year older. The ps3 was overpriced aswell (not when it comes to the profit marge ofcourse, since the production costs were so incredibely high), in aspect to what gamers would pay for a console. The Vita is now even more expensive than a PS3, which seems odd as it's just a handheld console.

If one company would skip a console this gen, my guess it would be Sony. The newsarticle doesn't mean much though, it's rather vague. We'll see what the E3 has to offer.

Well, the Nintendo 64. I used to play a lot on this little machine, games like Goldeneye, Pokemon, The world is not enough, Conker's Bad Fur Day.. All had great multiplayer gameplay and it really stayed with me, the memories. Never had that much fun in my life ^^,

Not worth it at this point, Rare is a completely different company to what it was 10 years ago. What they SHOULD do is buy the rights to franchises like Banjo, Conker, Killer Instinct, etc. and make some awesome Wii U/3DS exclusive games with them. If Wii U had a new Conker game filled to the brim with swears and lude references.. I don't think anyone would question how hardcore the console is.

I'd kill for a new Conker game. Sequel to or prequel to CBFD anytime.. God I love that little horny drunk squirrel ^^,

About losing profit, well.. It doesn't mean too much. The sales of the 3DS were a bit disappointing at start, but now after the price reduction things seem to go well. More 3DS games coming out aswell and with all the hype surrounding the WiiU, it seems Nintendo hasn't got much worries. Nintendo never has to worry, really. Mario, Pokemon, Zelda.. With names like these, they can always push the envelope, e.g. making a big multiplayer game related to these.

This is a no brainer for everyone on Earth, but for some reason you just KNOW it's not in the cards. There hasn't been a Pokemon RPG (a proper one) on any of the home consoles to date.

BUT, if they were to do one, which they should (it would print money) that would be fantastic. I won't go in to specifics, you all have your own ideas that are probably similar to mine, reason being that it's obviously ridiculously cool to think about a full 3D world where you can see the Pokemon running around, run around with your friends online and hunt Pokemon together, explore, and battle.

Actually on that note, that is one thing I don't think anyone would really think about that I think would make it an amazing game. Exploration. Like, true exploration. A world detailed to the point that you can go on an adventure exploring caves and forests. Something like the ability to run or walk, climb, jump, etc would make this a lot more fun. Using your Pokemon to help you. I'm thinking of something like the climbing in Assassins Creed?

As for an art style I think that they are already on the right track with Battle Revolution.

What about the battle animations with Battle Revolution? I agree the art design itself is good, but the animations weren't really my style. I'm looking forward to a sequel though, or new Stadium, whatever you want to call it. Something that will support both gen IV and V.

About the whole big world 3d-adventure.. yea well.. God wouldn't it be great lol. I guess Nintendo will only make it when they are near bankrupt and use it as their last way out.. Sometimes it's such a shame they are so conservative.

It's good for Nintendo that there might not even be a new Xbox in 2013, though it isn't confirmed in that much words in that link you provided. Still, it does look good for Nintendo if they are able to deliver a good console with updated graphics. It might attract the Xbox en Ps fans, who want to update their console and can't wait for a new Sony or Microsoft system to come out. One year is something most "fanboys" can wait out, but two or more years? I doubt it. It looks to me Nintendo picked a great moment to release a new console.

I know, it doesn't make sense ^^, Anyway, different reasons can be there why they used this termonoligy. It could be a mistake, it could be to mislead others, it could be one of their new original plans (however that may work). I doubt it is pokemon-related though.

Same as the two above me, I read it that they don't want to port the game, but perhaps make a new one instead. Lack of support for third-parties? Meh, I don't think that has anything to do with it.Think of it, a new system with new hardware and controllers come out, quite innovative.. It wouldn't do the game and console justice to make a port that lacks functionality that the console has to offer.

Wait, wait. How the heck does a "Massively Single-Player Online" work?

Something like Star Wars - The Old Republic? It's quite story-driven, so I've heard. That's the closest thing I can come up with with the words "Massively Singe-Player Online" thingy ^^

I won't buy it. I have a 3ds and well, two handhelds just seem too much for me. I can use the money to buy some games for the 3DS, that'll be better for me ^^,
