#85248 Hands on with the Wii U Pro Gamepad (video)

Posted by Rockalot on 07 June 2012 - 06:58 AM in Wii U Hardware

http://www.joystiq.c...pro-controller/

Joystiq has posted Engadget's (linkception) video with some detailed hands on with the Pro Gamepad.

I've gotta say it looks absolutely brilliant, as much as I love the regular gamepad.

Thoughts?



#85247 New Nintendo game TBA

Posted by Rockalot on 07 June 2012 - 06:56 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Colour me interested. I'm not going to get my hopes up but I can't help but raise an eyebrow.



#85236 Shane Satterfield On Nintendo's e3 conference

Posted by Rockalot on 07 June 2012 - 05:02 AM in Wii U Games and Software

He says it really well. I couldn't agree more because not only did they have the most to potentially show, but all the other press conferences were crap as well so they had it sitting there for them. I mean to actually be considered bad when they had those two trump cards is literally a nightmare. I can't believe what I saw, after waiting for it for AN ENTIRE YEAR.

I couldn't be more disappointed.



#84795 Is Nintendo Going To Improve the Wii U's First Party Launch Lineup?

Posted by Rockalot on 05 June 2012 - 09:55 PM in Wii U Games and Software

And I loved how they ended the conference with "And now we're going to leave you with..." and I expected the big finale Star Fox or something "...More Nintendo Land!"

#84784 Where can I watch the roundtable? And what time is it uk time

Posted by Rockalot on 05 June 2012 - 09:12 PM in Wii U Hardware

I've heard about the roundtable and how it's either going to be streamed or liveblogged. Can someone please give me links to where this will be happening and tell me what time it will be uk time


Love your display picture :P

Yeah, super disappointing. They offered up no extra news. There is nothing interesting being shown at all.



#84336 Retro's Game

Posted by Rockalot on 05 June 2012 - 07:56 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I would love Fzero but it's either Starfox or Metroid Prime 4



#84207 Rumour: Watch Dogs could have been running on WiiU with pro controller

Posted by Rockalot on 05 June 2012 - 01:09 AM in Wii U Games and Software

It looked awfully pretty for an Xbox game.



#83710 Did your opinion change after Direct?

Posted by Rockalot on 04 June 2012 - 01:18 AM in Wii U Hardware

Oh yeah for the better. Great online confirmed and great games coming tomorrow? HNNNNNNNG



#83102 Pre e3 Nintendo Direct - Wii U Focused

Posted by Rockalot on 02 June 2012 - 07:04 PM in Wii U Hardware

THATS THE START OF MY WORKING DAY *cry* 8am here, meaning I'll be just leaving for work. Meaning it's the longest possible wait for me to get home and watch it. BLAH!

Excited though!



#82795 Which E3 2012 conferences will you watch?

Posted by Rockalot on 02 June 2012 - 07:32 AM in General Gaming

I'll be at work during Sony's conference, but I'll be watching Microsoft and Nintendo live in the wee hours of the morning.



#81239 Microsoft and Sony spoiler tactics for wii u launch?

Posted by Rockalot on 28 May 2012 - 01:27 AM in Wii U Hardware

you cant speculate something like this on the site. it will not be tolerated. most believe they both will not show anything but i think sony has something up their sleeve.


What the fudge? Where do you get off telling another member who is as equal as you what he can and cannot say? He didn't say anything out of line, and just because it might be something you don't want to think about doesn't mean it's wrong or bad. He brings up a very valid and interesting point which could lead to a multitude of further discussions.

We know both Microsoft and Sony are working on their next consoles. While they won't be superior to the Wii U's offerings by any kind of substantial margin, it will be enough to bolster their advertising. Whether they're quick enough to catch those Wii U sales before they happen is another story. Part of why Nintendo has been so secretive, I'm assuming.



#81238 I don't believe the Star Fox/Metroid crossover is true.

Posted by Rockalot on 28 May 2012 - 01:16 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I agree with Andy on this one. It was an editorial that ended with some suggestive wishful thinking. If he actually knew what they were working on, and gave such a blunt hint, he would probably be fired and sued.

I personally think it's Metroid Prime 4. I wouldn't mind a new Starfox but it'd need to be so much more than any Starfox we've had before, and I'm curious to see how they could pull that off. In my opinion, while I love it, the Starfox franchise is quite shallow. I would love to see it expanded upon. At the same time though, I like F Zero more, and we are SO overdue for a new F Zero game.

Anyway. One week. We'll see.



#81237 Will Nintendo show off next-gen graphics?

Posted by Rockalot on 28 May 2012 - 01:04 AM in Wii U Hardware

...Yes.



#81056 Another of my Yay or Nay questions

Posted by Rockalot on 27 May 2012 - 06:15 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Nay. I actually found it quite un-inspired. Let's move on to something better.



#80597 Nintendo All Access @ E3 2012

Posted by Rockalot on 25 May 2012 - 06:56 AM in General Gaming

2:00am for Nintendo's E3 presentation here in Australia and I have work the day following;

Same deal here, but I may accidentally be "sick" the next day.



#80401 Game You Least Expect to be Announced at E3

Posted by Rockalot on 24 May 2012 - 06:09 AM in Wii U Games and Software

New The Legend of Super Metroid Fox Bros. Wii 3D for the SNES 2



#80285 Game You Least Expect to be Announced at E3

Posted by Rockalot on 23 May 2012 - 05:07 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Halo.



#79748 release first

Posted by Rockalot on 21 May 2012 - 05:13 AM in Wii U Games and Software

How do we know Mario Kart 8 is in the works? Might as well add Mario Party 10 then lol.


Because last year the project lead from Mario Kart 7 said that he has a lot of interesting ideas for Mario Kart on the Wii U that he cannot share with us just yet. i.e. It's begun pre-production.



#78580 Wii U colors (With Pictures)

Posted by Rockalot on 16 May 2012 - 07:23 AM in Wii U Hardware

I have to say the black console with the red LED would be fantastic.

However, I think with a slight physical re-design, white would in fact be the best bet. White, coupled with a selectable LED colour to suit your taste.



#78577 Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Posted by Rockalot on 16 May 2012 - 05:43 AM in General Gaming

Ah see I haven't played War of the Lions yet. From what I've seen it seems to be a lot more serious though, without all the classes and races, so not my cup of tea. But I can understand being bias towards one or the other depending on what was your first, both in your case and mine.



#78576 release first

Posted by Rockalot on 16 May 2012 - 05:40 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Seeing as we already know there is a Mario game at Launch...That will be first. Super Mario Bros 4 (Not official name)

Now if you mean the next actual Mario adventure game like Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy and such well I still say that will be 1st of the games you mentioned.

So the order would be.

1: Mario
2: Smash Bros
3: Zelda
4: Mario Kart

However lets not forget Retro Studios is working on a secret game that is a launch title and it could very well be StarFox so that could be first before any of the games you mentioned.


I would actually disagree with you there and place the release order as such:

1. Mario
2. Mario Kart
3. Zelda
4. Smash

We know Mario is pretty much a launch title. Zelda will take a lot of time to refine, but they're already working on it. Smash Bros. is nothing but pencil scribbles on paper, I doubt they have the design document finished yet. Expect this one to come out years after launch. which obviously leaves Mario Kart, which has been in development for a while now and has also traditionally come out 6 months to a year after every Nintendo console launch.



#78103 Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Posted by Rockalot on 13 May 2012 - 06:08 AM in General Gaming

For sure. I've clocked hundreds of hours across both games and everyone I've introduced the series to has followed suit. I'm just worried that they're being missed by the mass public eye, and that we won't get another one!



#78100 Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth announced!

Posted by Rockalot on 13 May 2012 - 05:22 AM in Wii U Games and Software

If its anything like this, then MY BODY IS READY



I'm actually friends with some of the developers that worked on this project. It's a shame it was cancelled, confusing too. It played a lot like Left 4 Dead but with the Avengers, and it would have been ready for a simultaneous launch with the movie. I'd really like to know why it was canned but it looks like we never will.



#77670 Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth announced!

Posted by Rockalot on 10 May 2012 - 07:04 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I for one love all the hype, and think it's fine on 9gag (I saw you were missing your soul, dont worry, me too)

But that's a story for another day. I'm surprised they didnt have a game ready to be released with the movie, but maybe this is to tie us over until the second movie is released? A bridge game?



#77663 Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Posted by Rockalot on 10 May 2012 - 05:50 AM in General Gaming

Personally the FFTA games are some of my favourite hand held games to ever be released, and I would really love to see the series continue. So far there's no word, but do you think we could see more at E3 or sometime in the future? Does anyone else share my passion for these games?
