What Fig said. Still it's a good read.

#73284 Wii U Smash Bros 2 random characters I thought of.

Posted by Rockalot on 19 April 2012 - 09:07 PM in Wii U Games and Software

You mean SmashBros Dojo? That site man.......Smash Bros Brawl is the number 1 game I have ever gotten SUPER excited for. Every single day I would see what was updated on the site whether a new Item was revealed or character or stage or whatever.

That's the one! It was a brilliant idea. Let's hope they do something similar again.

#73269 A new string of UNCONFIRMED Wii U rumours

Posted by Rockalot on 19 April 2012 - 07:38 PM in Wii U Games and Software

True, I may be too busy exploding with happiness. Everywhere. Like, look out guys, seriously.

Back on topic, I heard a rumour that the controller comes with a dental floss holder on the side.

So are we all making and effort to be in the chat room here while it's live?

#73131 Wii U Smash Bros 2 random characters I thought of.

Posted by Rockalot on 19 April 2012 - 06:26 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah that is actually a great idea. I'd have them as their own characters though, as much as I like the idea of a Majoras Mask Link, simply because those are unique characters with a lot of depth potential.

Speaking of the SSB Wii U roster, it'd be great if Sakurai does a similar stunt with this game like he did with Brawl, where he ups the website immediately after the (fingers crossed) teaser trailer at E3 confirming basic characters we know are coming back,and once a month he releases a new character on to the website, and once every other alternating week, he reveals either and item or a stage or a mode, etc.

That would be the pimp dogs.

Isaac FTW, btw. And Kid Goku.

#73130 Vigil: Everyone Will Want A Wii U

Really loved this interview. the interviewer had such passion and enthusiasm, he seems really nice too. I subscribed for more haha

#73129 General Wii U E3 2012 Discussion

Posted by Rockalot on 19 April 2012 - 06:18 AM in Wii U Hardware

The thing is, E3 isn't for the casual audience, that's what advertising is for. E3 is for the hardcore and professional market, and that's why they need to get it in to their heads that the power of this machine and the actual console itself are so important to detail to everyone. That, and some great 1st party games CONFIRMED for launch, as well as a detailing of their new Nintendo Network and how the Wii U WILL be above competition in online areas.

That's what they NEED to do. What they will actually do? Who knows.

How about an ACTUAL sequel to DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3? Yeah didn't think so... Well at least the Dragon Ball 3DS rumours are kicking up again but that's not a discussion for this place.

7 weeks guys!

#72740 Wii U news incoming

also, what did I say earlier rockalot, yea, too many generalizations, I tend to do that a lot, so here's a non generalized apology
I'm sorry :3

Awww I was harsh. I'm sorry too!

#72702 A new string of UNCONFIRMED Wii U rumours

Posted by Rockalot on 17 April 2012 - 05:47 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Most of that isn't totally wild or hard to believe. I have to say I'm really interested in all this MMORPG for the Wii U talk, there's a lot of potential there, I think.

#72700 How likely are you to buy a Wii U?

Posted by Rockalot on 17 April 2012 - 05:32 AM in Wii U Hardware

I'm not sure you'll get a very balanced response, asking this question here, haha

Oh and: Launch for sure.

#72699 A problem that could happen with Wii U's launch titles.

Posted by Rockalot on 17 April 2012 - 05:26 AM in Wii U Hardware

Yeah as a few people have said it won't be a big problem. You know, if the system releases with Pikmin 3 and Mario Wii U, then they will both sell well and the third party games will sell meh. Alternately, if they release it without those first party titles ala the 3DS, first party titles wont exist and third party titles will still sell meh, and then everyone will prophesies the demise of the system until first party games DO come out, at which point everything blows over.

Called it.

#72687 Mario at E3 2012 will be "based" off New Super Mario Bros Mii

Posted by Rockalot on 17 April 2012 - 03:39 AM in Wii U Hardware

I can't say I'm overjoyed but I'm cautiously optimistic. I know it will be good, but after the combination of 2D and 3D from Super Mario 3D land, and the almost utter perfection of 3D platforming with super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, I don't see how they could go back to a regular New Super Mario Bros. game.

Let's hope they really surprise us at E3! I'm sure Nintendo will find a way.

#72684 Wii U news incoming

Posted by Rockalot on 17 April 2012 - 03:26 AM in Wii U Hardware

if Nintendo were not lying when they said more 3rd party support earlier the dev kits in turn would be lowered in cost, rockalot
we do take rumors with (actually quite a lot) some salt, but bad talk about the Wiiu is better said when released with that info so we don't lose ground to trolls on the internet
aka:possibly you

What? Obviously I don't know the cost of development on the Wii U because Nintendo isn't dealing with smaller developers yet, the entire point of my post was to say that I hope they DO make it cheaper than their current model or change the model all together, because as a tiny development team we would LOVE to have our content on the 3DS for example, but we can't, because as a company we don't have the funds to back the opportunity to do so. On the other hand, we can upload something to the app store pretty much for free and Apple takes 30%, which in my opinion is a better system.

Please read what I've posted before you comment. I don't like being called a troll by someone who can't be bothered listening to other people before calling them out for something they haven't done. Troll.

Back on topic: I'm not surprised, TRON, but it's still a relief to hear

I understand why your friend can't tell us more, I just can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to E3!

EDIT:

Do you have any games on the app store? If so which ones.

Currently no, but ask me again in a month and I'll have a different answer for you

you can check out some of the work we've done for PC at www.rockinmoses.com but it's all pretty rough to be honest. Hopefully we have something that better shows our talents up and running soon!

#71448 Wii U news incoming

Posted by Rockalot on 11 April 2012 - 06:10 AM in Wii U Hardware

I work making games as well but small indie stuff, and we haven't heard anything from Nintendo. I'm really hoping this changes soon. I'd love to put our games on the Wii U store or the eShop, but as they are right now they're incredibly inaccessible to develop for, not to mention expensive. I'm talking $2,000 up to $10,000 just for the dev kits! We'll stick to the iPhone and Android for now, thanks. On the flip side, Sony is fronting a great development suite so indie devs for the PS3 and Vita, which we're considering because it's cheap and easy. But, we'll see.
