So what DBZ level is the WiiU at now?
8999.
So what DBZ level is the WiiU at now?
From here. (a BNP Paribas report)
Do they know something we -or I if I'm late to the news again- don't? (though I doubt it if they "think" competitors won't launch anything in 2012)
I thought the "slogan" was "In Time For Year-End Holiday Season".
Or maybe just an error.
Regarding the titles that will be available around the time of the launch date, speculation and rumours are
rife; among third-party vendors, as of now it is already clear that Square Enix is readying a version of Final
Fantasy X for Wii U (also available for Wii),
If you read carefully all the report ...
So FINAL FANTASY X Confirmed !!!! XD (of course also available in Wii).
(obviously it is an error with Dragon quest X).
Leaked Rayman Legends trailer for Wii U hinted at precisely this, with an Ezio statue.So I've just remembered something fun about the MSX, and I'm wondering if some enterprising companies could use it with the Wii U's NFC.
MSX titles had an interesting quirk; the system had two cartridge slots. Generally you'd only be running a game from one slot - but any game has the ability to inspect the other slot. Konami in particular took advantage of this for a number of easter eggs.
For instance, having Nemesis in Slot 1 and TwinBee in Slot 2 turns Vic Viper into Twinbee and turns the powerup orbs into bells. Nemesis 2 does something very similar with Pengiun Adventure (and in turn, those are clear precursors to those characters' appearances in Parodius).
You can't really do such a crossover thing with Skylanders, simply because it's an additional peripheral and not part of the main hardware - but you *can* easily do that with the Wii U controller, because NFC is a standard function of the system.
Could we see easter egg cameos from using one title's NFC objects with a different (but probably related) title? It wouldn't particularly surprise me.

I'd say we will have much more freedom for the last one; this one is really fitting, no ones knows anything, it is a nightmare, but once E3 comes, it will be overFor me the funniest and most apt thread title suggestion was Skiesofwonder's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Maybe it would be better for the last thread though.

Oh.. I think it just transforms to a different form after E3 is over. We'll have a cornucopia of information, and everyone is going to have their own spin on it. It's going to be annoying, uplifting, intriguing, exciting, and agonizing all at the same time.I'd say we will have much more freedom for the last one; this one is really fitting, no ones knows anything, it is a nightmare, but once E3 comes, it will be over
Now that I think about it, you're right. By thread six we should all be buzzing with hype and positive energy, and there might even be a good amount of leaks. Right now, the thought of yet another one of these threads and no news is a nightmare.I'd say we will have much more freedom for the last one; this one is really fitting, no ones knows anything, it is a nightmare, but once E3 comes, it will be over
I'm guessing the AC3 Wii U special edition will come with an Ezio or Connor statue with an inbuilt NFC chip.I thought the implication there was that it was an Ezio statue *made for Rayman*, rather than an Ezio statue made for Assassin's Creed and used in Rayman. That is, I'd envisaged it as part of a "Ubisoft Legends for Rayman Legends" marketing campaign, or somesuch.
If it was an Ezio statue made for an explicit purpose in AC3 but was also usable in Rayman, that'd be brilliant. Let's hope we see more than a proof-of-concept at E3!
Talking about skylanders I was thinking about a skylanders Wii U version yesterday.I thought the implication there was that it was an Ezio statue *made for Rayman*, rather than an Ezio statue made for Assassin's Creed and used in Rayman.

(And I'm sure this has been gone over already, but the Smash implications are incredible. Valve sells third-party games that give free game-related hats in TF2. There's little in theory stopping Nintendo doing something very similar.)
Edit: Would speculation thread 5 last until E3? If so, it might be cliched, but a "Dawn of the xth day, n hours remaining" title would seem appropriate.
Call it The Nightmare Before Christmas and make up for the bland title for thread IV beating out A New Hype!Rösti;37553577 said:I'll post the new thread when we start nearing post 19975.

For the last one I already reserve the suggestion : "Big Bang Theory"Oh.. I think it just transforms to a different form after E3 is over.

I support this.Saw the thread jump in a few pages overnight.
Thought some kind of info had leaked.
Nope, just discussing the next thread name.
gg
My proposal.
Wii U Speculation thread V: deciding the name of the thread VI.

How can it be? IV lasted three weeks. Even with big leaks drawing posters to separate threads, I can't see this one lasting less.And I still think V is the last of the speculation threads.
Might? The thread would be a a mess before the first page was filled.After E3, I'd want it to be:
Wii U Post-E3 Thread of Hyper-analysis: Suck it, haters - Nintendo's Here to Stay!
But that might be a poor-judgement move..
You are understimating your crime sirI must having posted no more than 20 post in this thread, so hopefully I'm not responsible for this madness ;D
Who posted?

Your body is too ready to feel itD;, how is that possible?
I am pretty sure if Nintendo puts out a good show, that is not going to be bannable in anyway; though it should be the post E3 thread titleInstaban for whoever does it lol
Idk I think well get close to VI but by then itll be E3.. If we get a leak better than rayman then thats another story lol..like some leaked pikmin 3 screens or some shit this thread will be done in 2.5 weeks lolHow can it be? IV lasted three weeks. Even with big leaks drawing posters to separate threads, I can't see this one lasting less.

If nobody has a problem with it, I would love to create the 6th thread if it will be necessary. I have some finished images and ideas with the whole Zelda MM theme, it would be perfect before E3
And can't wait to see what bombs will be dropped in the next one
I know.. way, way too strong. This kind of title creation would be a sign that one's brain-to-keyboard filter has failed.Instaban for whoever does it lol
The closer we get to E3, the more Reggie and Iwata meme image spam there'll be.Idk I think well get close to VI but by then itll be E3.. If we get a leak better than rayman then thats another story lol..like some leaked pikmin 3 screens or some shit this thread will be done in 2.5 weeks lol
I think that Wiita could be a nice name for Wii U.
