Namco working on SSB4 offers a couple less obvious IPs to draw characters from...



Bandai created Digimon, and so Namco-Bandai as a whole has access to the IP now. We could see characters like Agumon, Guilmon, etc make an appearance in SSB4 if we're lucky. Maybe this will be the game to finally settle the Pokemon vs Digimon debates of the 90s.




Namco-Bandai owns the Dragonball video game rights. And honestly, who wouldn't want to see Goku and Vegeta duking it out with Mario and Link? This could very well happen IMO, DBZ characters would fit right in with an SSB game.

Might seem random, but I've been playing a lot of Dungeon Defenders on my PC recently, and I'd REALLY love it if it came to Wii U. It's already on PS3, Vita and 360 if I remember correctly, and it'd fit just perfectly on the eShop. The gamepad screen could be used for a constant display of the map and access to all your spells and such, and being able to view your and other players' stats on the go. Hell, I'd rebuy the game if it came to the Wii U, that's how good it'd be!

Also fake becauase Nintendo insisted on NOT having an achievement system.

Really? When? I've never heard this before, and it'd seem rather ignorant.

Some more translations just came in... Looking good so far, but I'm still wondering how much "less powerful" it is than Xbox 8, and the lack of triggers is dissapointing.

But on the bright side, UNREAL ENGINE 4 CONFIRMED! (maybe)



>Wii U has 2GB of RAM, 560MB of that are for the OS
>supports DX11, they managed to port Unreal Engine 4 on it
>less powerful than Xbox 8
>2 tablet-pads are supported
>Release Date: 23 November
>Ubisoft will bring Rayman Legends, ACIII, Rabbids Party, Killer Freaks, The Avengers and Just Dance 4 on it
>That little button under the D-Pad on the left of the controller is somehow linked to the Wii Vitality Sensor
>No Analog R2/L2 unlike 360 controller/DualShock3

Sorry about all the contradictions. Blame the guy who translated it, I doubt the original text is like that.

We can thank 4chan again for the translation, but it all comes from another site so it seems legit.

Nintendo really cheaped out on this hardware IMO... Seems that the more I hear about it, the more disappointed I get.

So glad I managed to snag this on day one... No numbers necessary.

Well, I guess there'd be no need to capture the controller for most third party games. Nintendo's probably gonna do some fancy stuff with it in their games though, so I worry about how a Let's Play of Mario Wii U would work...

Also, the Wii U channel sounds like an awesome idea. I'll sub if you end up making it.

If it is i'm willing to bet Sonic fans will be at war saying
Side A: Ooh damn it SEGA they're gonna ruin another great game
Side B: No way this is gonna be the greatest sonic game ever!

There's this one very vocal section of Retro Sonic fans who have a deep seething hate for the Adventure series and I know they'll get riled up if it ever gets a true successor.

Regardless, I'm sure it'll be great. Generations was brilliant and I've heard good things about Colours. If the new game has a Chao garden then Sega already has my money.

Knuckles rap songs? Correct me if I'm wrong, but those haven't been around since Adventure 2, right?

Could my dream of Sonic Adventure 3, or at least something like it, finally be coming true?

Posted by Deadly Virus on 08 July 2012 - 06:11 AM in General Gaming

That was the horrible, terrible, full-of-glitches Sonic 06. I'm not kidding, it was supposed to be Adventure 3.

Nah, Unleashed was meant to be Adventure 3. That was the intention in the early stages of development, and in Japan the game is actually called "Sonic World Adventure".

Sonic 06 definitely took inspiration from the SA series though... Just it was very poorly executed and rushed.

I'm still very confused about all this. It wasn't too long ago that we were hearing rumours that suggested that the Wii U had a great processor but weak in other regards. Now it's the opposite? Can people make up their minds here?

Posted by Deadly Virus on 28 April 2012 - 10:41 AM in Wii U Games and Software

It just needs to be extremely fast, have great graphics, great online and most importantly be absolutely unforgivingly hard!

Give me this Nintendo, and I'll buy 15 copies.

Posted by Deadly Virus on 14 August 2012 - 06:14 PM in Wii U Hardware

What? This makes absolutely zero sense. The Wii had a massive midnight launch. More recently, the 3DS did so too. For what reason would a Wii U midnight launch be out of the question?

'Nuff said.

Once again a scaled down version runs on ps360. Maybe wii u is getting the next gen treatment

Maybe, but it's not been confirmed yet. I don't want to jump into assuming things without it being clarified first. That way, if it DOES turn out that Wii U runs next-gen-capable engines, then I'll be very pleasantly surprised.

Oh boy... Just how did this thread turn into an Apple vs Microsoft war? I'm not too fond of either, but come on guys, you're stepping vastly off topic here.

Honestly, I want another first-person-perspective Metroid, but I don't think it should be titled Prime 4. The Prime series is long since finished, and going back to it would just feel rather unnecessary and convoluted.

Maybe the ideas for Metroid Dread could be revived.. With that name it could have a very heavy focus on horror and survival or something. A horror-based Metroid, now THAT would definitely be interesting.

Posted by Deadly Virus on 23 April 2012 - 12:58 PM in Wii U Hardware

Hell yeah! It reminds me of the Nintendo 64. Short and sweet, nice and simple. And it places emphasis on the "Nintendo" part.

If this turns out to be true, I will be a very very happy man.

EDIT: That video does look rather fake though. I'd still like to hope that maybe he's got some insider info anyway though..
