I like WiiU, i just think the logo needs to be slightly tweaked.
I gave it a shot and personaly think it looks alot better like this

So yeah, i'd go with new console design. The one shown at E3 was nothing to write home about.

make that U a fingernail like touching a tablet and your golden!

 

[Gahiggidy]

Well, i've seen dev kits also....

...

And how exactly did you manage to do that?

 

[MYE]

You guys know you want it

 

[beje]

make that U a fingernail like touching a tablet and your golden!

Would resemble this too much:

 

[GameplayWhore]

Surprising as haptic ? I doubt it
Surprising as nice system/os features, online mode, small changes on the padlet ? yes

I liked fifty percent of this post.


(catching up now, just got back from shopping for paint and things to put paint on)

I would do anything for this. Things I don't want to do but I would for this.

Nintendo wont risk getting sued by Touch Dic Studios

It's actually a finger being inserted into a Vitality Sensor.

[Dorfdad]

well not that much of a finger. Just add a fingernail to the U and make the surrounding block look like the tablet a little more.


PS WTF is up with that game cover. TOUCH DIC LOL How do these things get released without someone thinking it through..

 

[Linkhero1]

What the hell?!

Sad that it isn't even a photoshop. It's all too real.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Agree. But the disc drive has to glow still!

It does not glow as is in the e3-11 design. Since adding the wuc, the glowing drive has become superfluous as the subscreen will be the thing that lights up to let you know you've got mail, so to speak.

 

[Anustart]

I think more than one Upad is more important than you think.
WiiU will not be able to differentiate itself with hardware power compared to current gen and will be behind come next gen.

What it needs to offer is unique experiences.
What is one aspect of gaming that Nintendo does better than anyone? What is the main reason why the Wii was successful?

The answer is local multiplayer.

Single pad per console severely limits the potential experiences for local multi, hence Nintendo would lose one of its few competitive advantages.

Not to be trollish, but I think some people are putting too much emphasis on Nintendo being able to support more than one uPad. Sure multiplayer is super important nowadays, but most people are going online to get their multiplayer fix, and in that case, 1 uPad per console is perfect.

For the local multiplayer, experiences built around one uPad and others with wiimotes will probably be amazing anyway. Just because the system may only support one pad doesn't mean that local mp is ruined, just that the game's will be built around the one pad, which can still be kickass in it's own right.

When it comes to multiplayer on the 360 and ps3, it's all almost exclusively done online anyway.

Aww.. that's a bit sad. I liked using that drive light as a nightlight sometimes.

Hopefully the pad's glow will be just as lovely..

i want this please give it to me

A big red eye appears on the screen.

"Tom. You have mail. Would you like ne to open it?"

And that is how HAL is born.

 

[Izick]

Is Majora on eShop? I never had a chance to play it.

It would be pretty cool if I got to choose the voice, like Bender did with the ship's new sexy voice upgrade on Futurama.

 

[BurntPork]

No N64 games are on the eShop, nor will they ever be put there.

If you meant Wii VC, though, it's there.

 

[Linkhero1]

It's on the Wii VC. You should definitely get it. Looks amazing on an HD tv.

 

[Heropon]

I have to confess that I finished Majora's Mask for the first time just a year ago.

So great.

 

[Izick]

Woops, yeah I meant VC, sorry about that. Has Nintendo said what their plans are for the Wii U and VC? Is everything going to be brought over?

 

[PhoenixDawn]

It's on the Wii VC shop. Although at this point you might as well just hold off the little bit longer and buy the inevitable remake of it.

[Izick]

You don't want Touch Dic?

 

[Gahiggidy]

Ohhhh! That would be crazy. If Nintendo gave the wuc an official voice that spoke to you and had a personality. Like iphone's cyrie, of course.

 

[Aguila]

Um, no? I already have a Dic

[greg400]

Soooo... any chance of a redesigned 3DS (Lite) being shown at E3?

 

[HylianTom]

I would guess not. Don't wanna steal too much attention away from the U..

 

[Christberg]

Yeah, it was the first thing that came to my mind when i first saw the wiimote, as a lot of people. Even a meh% metacritic game, with a good marketing campaign, would have been a commercial success, it's just one of the biggest fantasy/dream since this franchise met video games, to have the feeling to wield a light saber, during a real adventure.

Lucas, please ?!

I'm legit pissed about this. The first time Wii was shown the idea was brought up over and over again, and seeing it years later on Kinect looking and playing like it does feels like a total slap in the face.

An over the shoulder Sin and Punishment like game could potentially be great. On rails, bat back projectiles and carve stuff up when you're close. Lift Zelda SS controls for Jedi battles. Throw in some Time Crisis like blaster sections where you have to use cover?

Game could have been FUCK AWESOME and with a decent marketing campaign, sold gangbusters.

I want to know who the idiot was that put the kibosh on this so I can smack them.

Oh god, this needs to stop.

How much would you pay for a "Wii Drive Light" app for the Wii U DRC?

 

[Izick]

So, let's say Nintendo has 1 1st Party game planned for the Wii U's launch. What game would you expect it to be, and what game do you unrealistically hope it would be?

I expect: NSMB 2

I hope for: A new SSB title

 

[axisofweevils]

Doubt it.
If the Vita / 3DS situations were reversed then maybe... but at the moment, a redesign would only cut into their profits.

 

[BlackJace]

Upwards of 10-15 bucks

 

[AzaK]

hmm, the tablet looks a bit cheap, but the console itself looks pretty classy imo. I do think they really have to get rid of the shiny plastic look and make it matte.

Agreed.

It does not glow as is in the e3-11 design. Since adding the wuc, the glowing drive has become superfluous as the subscreen will be the thing that lights up to let you know you've got mail, so to speak.

They seriously need an option to turn their blue lights off on anything they do in the future. Having a device in the room at night blinking away is annoying as hell.

Expect: 2d Mario
Hope: Metroid Prime: Bite Me Master Chief

why would you hope for that when it's like... impossible? didn't they just start development?

Never said ruined. I said limited.

Regarding the bolded.
EXACTLY. Nintendo would be losing a distinct competitive advantage and point of differentiation.

What are the games that succeeded on the Wii and that made it successful? Wii sports, just dance, mario kart, smash, NSMBWii. These experiences are fun because of local multi.
Local multi is something that cant be completely replicated on a apple tablet, or easily on a PC.
People have historically bought nintendo consoles, because of local multi.

 

[Linkhero1]

I'm sure he's talking about Sergeant Slaughter's Baseball game.

I said unrealistically hope for. It can be anything.

They average 2-4 first party titles for every hardware launch in their history.

 

[Aguila]

It takes Nintendo at least 2 years to release redesigns. The transitions between Gameboy Advance to Gameboy Advance SP, Nintendo DS to Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo DS Lite to Nintendo DSi all took 2 years I believe. It's only been 1 year into the 3DS' life.

DS > DS Lite
16 Months

There won't be a 3DS redesign any time soon. They're going to want to put a lot of focus on the Wii U, Wii U software, and 3DS software. If anything, we'll probably see the redesign within the next few months.

 

[Izick]

It's just a "what-if?" question. I'm just asking, what people would expect if it was one game, and what they hope for if it was one game.

 

[HylianTom]

How much would you pay for a "Wii Drive Light" app for the Wii U DRC?

Hmm.. not much, if any at all. I'm not inclined to pay much for DLC-like functions or software. That, and I have other lights in the living room that would serve that purpose well. I have bubble lights, an antiquey Tiffany floor lamp, some Morroccan lanterns.. so I'm not that hard-up for lighting.

I expect: New Super Mario Brothers

I hope for: Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 or Metroid Prime or a new Retro adventure IP

I have a feeling the Retro game will be awesome but be out mid 2013.

 

[HylianTom]

I expect: New Super Mario Bros Mii and Pikmin 3

I hope for: F-Zero U and/or Super Mario Universe and/or Retro's take on StarTropics
