I expect some awesome JRPGs for WiiU

Nintendo already laid down the foundation with Wii's Xenoblade

now with a strong HD system these games should be very nice eye candy too

I expect space. And cake. And cake space.

one would hope, but if we somehow do get jrpgs, we'll end up not getting them anyway :|

Space cake? Good stuff, but the only decent bakery is on Titan.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Give it to me straight: is Xenoblade 2 a thing that is possible given the plot of the first game? Yes/no answers only, I'm only like 10 hours in

 

[abasm]

It's just a mock-up, but what do you think of that?

Lets hope NoA wakes up in time so that is not a factor to block these games

I expect disappointment

I hope for lots of games

Reading the E3 2006 Wikipedia entry, just for grins and giggles.. here's the entry for Nintendo's part:

On Tuesday, Nintendo held their pre-E3 press conference at the Hollywood and Highland Centre. The firm announced the US launch date for the Nintendo DS Lite. Nintendo decided not to announce the price for the Wii during E3, stating they preferred to announce it closer to the console's launch in Q4 2006. The very first game for the Wii was Wii Sports, which was also the pack-in game. Upcoming games announced for the Wii included The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Red Steel, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Project H.A.M.M.E.R., and Excite Truck. Upcoming games announced for the Nintendo DS included Final Fantasy III, New Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Children of Mana, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, Yoshi's Island DS, Star Fox Command, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Disney's American Dragon: Jake Long, Attack of the Dark Dragon, Diddy Kong Racing DS and Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Upcoming games announced for the Game Boy Advance included Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. Upcoming games announced for the Nintendo GameCube included Super Paper Mario, DK Bongo Blast, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Baten Kaitos Origins. The first two of these were instead released on the Wii, and the third released on the Wii and the GameCube.

First: holy crap, that's a lot of games!

Secondly: does anyone see this E3 coming close?

The end is as definitive as you can get.

So no.

We'll get them over in the UK. You can import!

Ambitious but too complicated.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

nintendo announces that they're going whole hog on this online thing and all wii u games will use blizzard's unique "always online" system

 

[dkeane]

So anyone think the controller will have an "always on" option?
Like - I can be watching TV but the pad controller will light up and tell me if a friend comes online?

I know it sounds bad, but I'm glad that things like this have happened before Nintendo tackles online so that they might catch some small, teensy clue about how not to tackle the online issue.

But damn.. just when I start to accept the whole idea of online features, some bullshit like this comes along and makes me sour on the whole thing again.

 

[AGITΩ]

I expect Super Mario Parallel World

I would cream myself for F-Zero W(Double)X

So anyone think the controller will have an "always on" option?

Its not a bad option. I would like if the Disc Drive changed different color. The Wii Pulsated Blue when there was an Update or new message available. It would be cool if it did like the 3DS notification light and the Disc Drive served the same purpose.

Well I'd be surprised if it didn't have a charging stand, so yes.

That blows my mind. I saw numerous things simultaneously when I looked at it.

1) Balls rolling down shoots
2) Cupcakes
3) Breasts with misplaced nipples
4) Eyes on top of a bug eyed alien
5) A happy smiley person
6) Two penises side by side, one without testicles

Over 1000 posts in a 24hr period. Good job guys.

It would be if we'd been talking about some new confirmed info!

Acid Geist (apparently a Metroid prequel).

I don't think that's something we should take pride in

 

[jacksrb]

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 Mii

I hope for Wii Vs (collection of Chase Mii, Battle Mii type experiences)

 

[Izick]

Yo, does anyone else like this Wii U thing?

I dunno.. I like how active this group is. That there's always something being discussed is great.

I kinda hope that those Chase-Battle-Shield games are pack-ins and playable online. My nieces/nephews would get a kick out of being able to make me feel feeble/kick my butt online, haha..

 

[GameplayWhore]

The hell is that? Sounds like that lady from that Kung Pow movie.

 

[abstract alien]

Gmail App, Maps, etc possible, or are they too close to Sony territory at this point for Nintendo to go that route?

 

[Rich!]

Boost Guardian was easy.

Spider Guardian though? fuck that shit

 

[GameplayWhore]

Wii had a world map. It was used for geographical news browsing and not for directions, but there's precedence.

edit: Or did you specifically mean "Google Maps"?

Well, based on Thread 4's post#18805 and possibly #18993, we are fairly confident that Nintendo is partnering with Google on the OS side (not using Android).

I'm with you HT. I can imagine taking the Wii U to the family's at christmas and doing some battling and chasing. My family LOVE playing Wii Sports when I take it around for gatherings. Wii U doesn't feel like it will be QUITE as easy to get into for non-gamers as Wii Sports, but I can definitely see them giving it a go. Especially after a few brews.

 

[Anth0ny]

People have to understand that Super Smash Bros is a MULTIPLAYER game. I'm sorry, but if you want to play single player or vs CPUs you are in the VAST minority.

 

[Izick]

The hell is that? Sounds like that lady from that Kung Pow movie.

If you rewind that video and auto-tune it while listening to the Biggie Smalls remix of "Flava in Your Ear," you can clearly hear her say "Eternal Darkness 2 is currently in development by Silicon Knights and will be released in the third quarter of 2013 for the Wii U."

Oddly specific.

 

[HylianTom]

Trying to figure-out.. what would we use the maps for?
I do see an email app coming, but I remain skeptical about Google/Android/etc. implementation. Actually, if we can use our Club Nintendo ids in our Wii U email addresses instead of those damn sixteen-digit numbers, I'd be more inclined to use my Wii U email for all sorts of stuff.

edit: and now I'm seeing the posts that GPW named about Google coordination. My skepticism on this is lightened a bit..

Boost Guardian was easy.

Spider Guardian though? fuck that shit

Eeeehh.. I hated both of 'em. Especially in Hard mode. They're pretty much frustration, distilled.

 

[BY2K]

You guys know you want it

Not happening this year.

Aonuma said the next Zelda 3DS will be an original.

And it's getting announced at E3. My only 100% sure new game reveal prediction.

Hmmm. I remember Nintendo and Google teaming up for that one odd game(Ando Kensaku), but thought it fell through since we never heard much afterward. Would be pretty cool though.

Curious as to what type of game it will be. OoT styled gameplay, top-down, or something else entirely?

I never got past Alpha Blogg, I'm weak as shit at that game. :/

Please this. And give the option for traditional controls.

Perhaps a shooting gallery game? The last one in the series sold pretty well.

no, no no no no

 

[HylianTom]

I'd try it. The last one was pretty fun (although the crypt level gave me fits)

Whoa.. what about a handheld Zelda FPS adventure game?!

What the fuck

no, no no no no

Hahahaha... great reaction!
(such a random answer, i know. One reason why I love it, haha..)

 

[GameplayWhore]

Yeah, it sold like 5 million copies, no lie!

I'd be down with first person adventure with some shooting elements (arrows, boomerang, etc.).

Hey, didn't Miyamoto originally envision 3D Zelda as a first person game?

 

[TheCongressman1]

Hey, didn't Miyamoto originally envision 3D Zelda as a first person game?

Yerp. I'd like to see that come to be. At least have the option to change the view, that would be great.

If Nintendo want to experiment with such a departure from the norm for Zelda, the best bet would be a bundle alike to how LTTP/Four Swords was presented on the GBA. People will buy the game for the main attraction, and discover this awesome extra game too.

This is a fantastic idea.

That reminds me - I was playing on Xenoblade on the Dolphin emulator earlier, and decided to use the Free Look option (lets you set the camera to wherever you want). Set it to literally inside Shulk(main character)'s head. Result was that it turned into a genuine first-person experience.

Battles didn't work well, but actually running around the world in first person is mindblowing, especially in 1080p HD.

 

[MisterHero]

He did, but he realized that Z-targeting allowed for more dramatic on-screen action

which I prefer
