Did Nintendo ever discontinued a color so early? Because they are apparently phasing out Aqua Blue 3DSs.
I don't see the big deal... no need to go Nintendo Doomed because of a color
Travelers Tales as with all Lego games.Do we know who is developing Lego City Stories?
Can't read a thing from Tecmo-Koei's financial stuff, but here's hoping they'll have more games for Wii U. Dead or Alive 5 looks pretty sweet.
Just a confluence of them that is unlikely on the current consoles.There were no effects in the garden/bird demo that are 'not possible' on the current gen.

And a spinoff's title.AceBandage said:No, it was a sequel with a spin off's budget.
About that from last April through this March, but that's a pretty big step down from before and it continues down. They expect about that much this year from Wii and Wii U combined.Apophis2036 said:Didn't Nintendo announce Wii was still shifting 10 million consoles per year at the last investors meeting ?.
There's nothing they can do to grab entrenched GAF graphic whore types in the long run, sure. But what they can do is increase appeal to the people like my uncle, who got a Wii for the family but were disappointed when games like Madden weren't even in the same style as the PS360 versions.Apophis2036 said:People will not buy third party games for Wii U because at first they will all be availalbe for PS360 and then for next gen they will all look better on the PS4 / 720.
A Wii U that can only flop 1/4 as well as the newer competition would still be significantly closer than Wii is to PS360.Apophis2036 said:As for the differences being a lot less than people think, there are a couple of people who post in this very thread who are saying in other threads that PS4 / 720 will have close to 2 terraFLOPs of GPU grunt, if they do then Nintendo are in huge trouble and just like Wii they will be lucky to get ports never mind horrible in comparison versions.
This sounds badthey probably do. tecmo-koei is nintendo's new namco.
I was just listening to Okami's OST recently, and it popped into my head just how perfect the Wii U's controller would be for a new Okami game.
I mean, let's face it, the Wiimote was not perfect for the game - I had more success painting with the PS2 controller. However, the Wii U touchpad, which would enable back-and-forth transmission of a painted-on screenshot, would be perfect for the game.
I know it wouldn't be the same without Platinumgames at the helm, but please oh please Capcom! You know you want to!
Something about the E3 demos that doesn't get talked about is how they were made prior to Wii U gaining its customized GPU features and long before any of the upgrades of later SDKs. While I'm not saying we're going to be seeing a night-and-day difference between those demos and whatever is at E3, I would say we're in for an improvement with the newer stuff.
I actually wonder if they'll bother showing off the tech demos again.
They should have plenty of fully playable stuff there this year.
The third party games likely won't look much difference, but Nintendo's games should be pretty stunning.
Whatever happened to that Wii U demo from Crytek UK? Last I heard it being talked about was back before GDC. I don't remember if it was a game or a tech demo or what, but I'm hoping it'll show up in some form or another. If Crytek is serious about being a middleware contender this time around, they're going to have to jump into the next gen spotlight sooner rather than later.
There's a good chance we'll see controller demos along the lines of Chase Mii which are planned to be included in some future compilation. E3 2006 featured prototypes of Wii Music's Mii Maestro and Wii Sports Resort's air sports mini game.I just hope that Pikmin 3 will look amazing once we see it.
It was one of the reason they moved it to the Wii U, after all.
And I don't think they'll bother with the tech demos again. Or it will be new ones.
Its an interesting video because Iwata totally didnt see the future where multiplatform is the standard. The days of exclusives are over except for 1st party basically.
Already began the Wii talk in 2001 too.
But the demo itself seems unachievable on current gen systems.
That doesn't mean a geforce 520 is as powerful as 580 just because the latter can't do something the former can't

I'm guessing it's because Youtube's HTML5 implementation is still a bit crap.OT/
Does anyone know why YouTube runs like SHIT on iPad 1? Fucking streams stall out at 4-5 seconds and won't load more than a few seconds at a time. But sometimes it loads fine. Really pissing me off.
Xenos can do tessellation, it's just not particularly good at it - it's a multi-pass technique involving the memexport path.Yeah, I know, but I've never really argued otherwise. I just think it's silly when people discredit how good Samaritan looks. Frankly the tessellation it was using probably does make it literally impossible on current generation hardware.

Um, that got announced for 3DS.

I don't think any of us hoping for multiple pad support are also hoping that would mean the end of wiimote support. But if that were the only option, it would be limiting.Thrillhouse said:Am I the only one that don't want multiple upad support? Being able to play local multiplayer out of the box without having to buy several expensive controllers is awesome?
yeah i know, but I am not going to buy a 3DS so a Wii-U version would be perfect
Here's the part where you explain the "why?"Just a confluence of them that is unlikely on the current consoles.
nintendo always makes underpowered systems. the best they had in 1994 when saturn and playstation had 3d games was donkey kong country, and in 2000 when the ps2 had the bouncer, nintendo was releasing some zelda game (which needed more power to run because the system was too weak).
and then there's the wii, which should have been what the wii u is because at least that way nintendo would have made money (i think they lost like two billion dollars this year?)
If this seemed pointless or boring I apologize, but I don't see/talk to my brother much, and a lot of my memories are of he and I working through Zelda temples together, playing Golden Eye, stuff like that, so when I heard him getting hyped for Nintendo' E3 confrenece, it got pumped, and I felt compelled to share with gaf.
I think it'd be cool if they were slightly translucent when lit from behind with direct sunlight. Kinda like soft tissue plant life.I wonder if the Pikmin themselves will see much of an improvement. They are very much like Kirby in that regard, smooth out the edges but overall they will look the same as their GCN forms.
isn't that kinda borderline portbegging
what would people think of nintendo releasing two pricing options for the WiiU?
Standard upfront
$349 1 tablet one wiimote+ nunchuck 1 pack in game 2 downloads/free software apps. free online.
$99 extra tablet
contract
$99 plus $15 a month 24 months 2 tablets 1 pack in game one wiimote+nunchuck 2 downloads/apps and free online.
How would this affect the perception of the console by sonsumers seeing as its a new console with a new option for a pricing structure. big department chains already do this in aome countries with payment plans but what about an official one?
I don't like the idea myself but is it a viable option for those who are price sensitive? if a console gets banned you can pay a fee to get it unbanned. $99 would be a good fee but all your stats get reset to 0 and you are forced to use a new username and contacts list. this might mitigate piracy and alleviate having to pay a termination fee which would be about the same amount as the fine plus what is left of the contract.
Here's the part where you explain the "why?"
I think it'd be cool if they were slightly translucent when lit from behind with direct sunlight. Kinda like soft tissue plant life.
No, I absolutely would NOT be interested in a package similar to the $99 360/Kinect/Live sub with termination penalties. Keep cell phone contract style price structuring scams FAR AWAY from my Nintendo console.
isn't that kinda borderline portbegging
If everyone else does it, I certainly want Nintendo to do it. Imagine how the public would see it, PS4 for $99!* 720 for $99!* WiiU for $300.

I miss the days when you could download all game trailers and then watch them on your desktop. Most everything is streamed these days. No suspension with streams.
