Game

[cool breeze]

It's not surprising (re: UE4).  Honestly, even if it did it wouldn't matter to me.

I figure if people here buy the Wii U it's going to be for Nintendo games.  Whether it's 360/PS3 level or higher, it's still huge leap from the PS2-era Nintendo had trapped themselves in.  I was playing Smash Bros Brawl recently and it's an incredible looking game; same with the other big Nintendo games like Galaxy, Skyward Sword, and DKCR.  I mean, the Zelda tech demo last year did nothing for me because it wasn't a video game or anything, but I'm eager to see what Nintendo will show.  tl;dr: low standard getting less low.

But isn't it sad this is something Nintendo fans are looking forward to? Talk about battered wife syndrome/low expectations

[maxy]

Funny thing is that UE4 is actually moving towards cheaper development costs.


/ninthing damage control is pretty hilarious

who cares
UE3 runs on mobile,UE4 WiiU incoming
lazy devs
Epic just needs to sacrifice few stuff

[MyNameIsMethodis]

apparently metro last light was just cancelled for WiiU. ALREAYD LOSING GAMES 

[EmCeeGrammar]

THQ's market value is like 40 million right now.  I don't think they can afford to release anything these days.

[Flannel Boy]

Metro? Villages or towns are better. You can fish and play retro Nintendo games with animals.

Market cap? Total non-sequitur here.

[radioheadrule83]

Sup, forgot I had this account!

The only way Starfox and Metroid are in a Retro fusion saga together is if they've made Team Star Fox human imo. Making them human would potentially be a good idea as well, since it wouldn't completely suck seeing them out of the cockpit. The other possibility is making Metroid more cartoony, so it fits in with the furry stuff.. but that would be guaranteed terribleness.

Paul Gale is probably just full of shit though. It's way more out there than the TMNT rumour, but because, well, Nintendo - we seem to believe it.

[Takao]

That TMNT rumor was bull. Activision has the license to the franchise, Warner ain't going to let their Batman studio work for the competition on a property they have no stake in.

[radioheadrule83]

Yeah... and Paul Gale himself admitted telling Rocksteady the TMNT idea himself. When the rumour came in to his site's mailbox later on, I guess he just thought they'd taken his awesome, unsolicited idea and made it into a game... I think that speaks to his credibility really. I'd love to see Metroid x Starfox for shits and giggles (mostly giggles), but I don't think it's happening.

[Shaka Khan]

radioheadrule83 is good people. He's a 3DS bud whom I've exchanged doodle cocks with.

[TakingBackSunday]

Fellow sane Zelda fan!!!

[radioheadrule83]

Borys, that's a very disconcerting welcome! Thanks :p

Shaka, added you from gaf I take it? Whats your nick over there? I had to sell the 3DS because I'm an idiot with money. I'll be getting another one soon (end of June) to resume said doodle cocking, cock doodling and what have you. 

Oh and hopefully for some New Legend of Zelda!

I was just thinking that Warioware on Wii U could be pretty cool

[magus]

I was just thinking that Warioware on Wii U could be pretty cool

if they used the touch screens it would be like wario ware touched and if they used motion controls it would be like wario ware smooth moves,i can't imagine a game that combine the two that sounds like a good idea so that's option is no good either

[magus]

well if magoose can't think of anything, i'm sure the guys who make wario ware couldn't think of anything

after all, he's so very clever

their last game was "we ran out of idea so do it yourself"

IGN made some hugely scientific dev survey

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/06/01/the-next-generation-according-to-game-developers

The next generation of consoles starts in 2013, if all goes according to developers’ plans. In an anonymous questionnaire, multiple industry professionals told IGN that they plan to release games for the next Microsoft and Sony consoles before January 1, 2014.

Multiple developers also intend to launch software for an unannounced platform next year.

The end is nigh.

To further signal the winding down of the current console generation, approximately 60% of respondents have no plans to release games for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo Wii after 2013. Of course, this means some 40% intend to keep at current-gen releases after next year. To that point, an anonymous developer told IGN, “I would not be surprised if something atypical cannibalizes the market, maybe even the Xbox 360 itself.”

From a hardware perspective, nearly 80% of respondents said Microsoft’s next console is the easiest to work with, and the overwhelming majority suspect it will be the sales leader over the next five years.

The ease of use compared to other consoles is assuredly attractive, too. By comparison, 63% of developers who spoke to IGN said the Wii U would be the most challenging platform to develop for. One creator went as far as saying, “we won’t be working on Wii U due to these complexities,” while another lamented the difficulty of moving innovative games unique to Wii U to other platforms. This poses the question: Will Nintendo once again need to rely primarily on first-party games to propel platform success? At any rate, the Wii U’s 2012 release window gives it a distinct advantage: time.

This information is based on survey responses from 35 video game developers IGN trusts. Look for more information on next generation consoles at IGN soon.

History repeats?
Wait until Mario releases/userbase builds mode

This also kinda implies no tablet/weird stuff for nextxbox/PS4...

[bachikarn]

I guess we might see some shit tomorrow. Kind of makes sense since the Wii U is supposed to be at the Ubisoft conference on Monday

[ManaByte]

So is it true that Nintendo isn't letting anyone air their press conference?

[bachikarn]

So is it true that Nintendo isn't letting anyone air their press conference?

I don't think so. It's going to be on Spike TV and MTV2.

[maxy]

midnight in europe

meh

[cool breeze]

People are (probably correctly) assuming it's just to highlight the controller update, NFC, and basic hardware features before the Ubisoft and EA conferences on Monday.

[pilonv1]

I can't imagine this will have any ground breaking news.

[maxy]

Ubisoft will have live demonstrations of WiiU games,i think.

[TakingBackSunday]

I can't imagine this will have any ground breaking news.

I don't think folks expect groundbreaking news, but definitely some more exploration of the hardware and probably the OS.

"Rayman Legends is a Wii U Exclusive"

Trailer:

[Madrun Badrun]

Is Rayman this year?

[Tasty]

Is Rayman this year?

This and NSMBU will give some great multiplayer platform goodness right at the start of Wii U's life. Should be good.

[D3RANG3D]

So they got rid of the crappy looking 3d on this huh?

[Tasty]

Hard to tell. The leaked trailer for this had a dragon swoop in that was definitely 3D. I get the feeling the characters are 3D, they're just using a very intense shading style.

Andrex, let's be real here. You don't even own a 3DS yet, you ain't gonna own one of these until 2015.

Home consoles are a different game. I try to get them at launch.

Where are you PC gamers?

Where are you indie Steam games?

Working on a budget that's infinitely smaller?

Most likely timed.

Yeah...? And Legends looks good. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

[D3RANG3D]

Hey Andrex does that controller abortion scream innovation to you, like your fellow Ninthings?

[Diunx]
