My take on Nintendo:

more rhythm tengoku for portables, please. Also, put the original gba RT on 3ds virtual console, translate it in English, have it up for when I pick up a 3ds for STM4.

I asked what RT was.

[Human Snorenado]

All I really want out of Nintendo is quality Fire Emblem releases, good Marios of the Galaxy variety, and to not fuck up Zelda.  Please leave all the feggitry like the Ninendoland virtual tour or whatever it is in a bin marked "stillborn bullshit" at headquarters, plz.

You don't know what Rhythm Tengoku is? It's Rhythm Heaven.

As long as Aunoma tries to imitate Shiggy it is always gona stay fucked.  All his work after MM has been garbage.

Jesus, it's like you're a concentrated tornado of anti-wisdom.  Wind Waker, while full of annoying sailing bullshit, had awesome dungeons and boss fights, and TP was equally bad ass after you suffered through the opening bullshit.  I swear, it's like Nintendo fans don't even realize when they're being given something awesome.

[Damian79]

No those games after MM were boring.  I never found WW interesting and i couldnt get past the first 10 hours of TP.  All these games felt like they were trying to imitate a Shiggy game and failed.

[Human Snorenado]

Tarded.  Seriously tarded.

[Damian79]

Who is the Nintendo fan now.   

[Tasty]

Aonuma's cool. When he gets to let loose we get some really awesome games. TBH I don't know who to blame for SS's shortcomings (which I will say, are mostly exaggerated but still apparent.) Didn't the Spirit Tracks director direct SS? I'd probably blame him.

The TP we got was awesome but I always wonder what Aonuma's vision would have turned out like with no tea table flipping.

[Tasty]

Yeah. Usually I can tell (or, I think I can) the elements that Aonuma has brought to a Zelda game but it was near impossible to in SS.

Hopefully he is working on Zelda U. If he can bring it back to TP levels, but with SS's gameplay enhancements, and HD, it'd be pretty good to see.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

I don't know who's to blame for the current state of Zelda, but the problems all just seem so obvious to me.

[Tasty]

I'll be surprised if much from Skyward Sword survives into the next installments.  After its weak performance, it'll probably be swept under the rug.

I don't think they'll stop including elements from MonHun, but for the rest (like motion controls, RIP thanks to U Pad) that's probably true.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Styling it after MonHun is stupid. As people said they should style it after Dark Souls.

[Tasty]

Styling it after MonHun is stupid. As people said they should style it after Dark Souls.

It's not mutually exclusive. Elements from either could be taken.

[Human Snorenado]

As probably the only person in the universe that just plainly dislikes Monster Hunter games, this news saddens me.  Zelda games should be more like... Zelda games.  The wheel is not broken.  You don't need to reinvent it, no matter what tards like damian say.  Just put out the best damn wheel you possibly can every 2-3 years or so.

See nintnedo can never win.  If they make the sam egame over and over again people say they are creatively bankrupt.  If they dont then... then... then... i dunno.

What don't you like about MH games?

I'm not saying Zelda should be MH, I'm just saying I enjoyed some of the things they included in SS. Like the light loot system and item upgrades.

[Diunx]

I haven't play SS yet because it looks like shit and I have better things to do, but I would love if the platforming in Zelda was more like Shadow of the colossus, I loved climbing shit and jumping around in that game.

[Human Snorenado]

I have been pretty damn consistent about what I want from Zelda games- awesome bosses and dungeons.  What I don't want- feggitry along the lines of sailing, too much hand-holding, waggle, or any alternate controls honestly.  I even thoroughly enjoyed Wind Waker aside from the tedious sailing bullshit because, guess what- really good boss fights and pretty good dungeons.  Twilight Princess, after the 'tarded first 8-10 hours or so, is possibly the best in series.  Why?  DEM DUNGEONS. 

I don't want Nintendo trying to innovate, because they suck at it.  I want them to do what the things I enjoy that they're actually good at, and it would be nice if they could do it on modern technology for a fucking change.  Those, and the unctuously awful fanthings that worship their wet farts, are my only real complaints with Nintendo.  Just stfu, put out ACTUAL DECENT, NON-GIMMICK DRIVEN HARDWARE and excellent games to play on it and then I will only have to kill every ninthing ever to be happy.

In general, I wouldn't mind seeing more focus on exploration, but that goes with "less handholding." But yeah. The only thing a Zelda game needs is awesome dungeons. The rest is icing.

Got your pinch of salt ready? Video Product Distributors have posted up some information relating to the possible SKUs for Nintendo's Wii U console.
In case you didn't know already, VPD is a distribution company which counts Amazon, Blockbuster and Overstock as some of its customers.
The launch date given is the 11th November in North America. The SKUs are as follows:
WIIU SYSTEM - GM - 11/11/12 $249.99
WIIU SYSTEM W/ - GM - 11/11/12 $299.99
WIIU SYSTEM 349 W/ - GM - 11/11/12 $349.99
We can only assume that the $299.99 and $349.99 bundles include additional games or peripherals - an extra GamePad, perhaps?

[Tasty]

Seems unlikely Nintendo would launch with three models out of the gate when they were so keen to avoid multiple SKUs last gen.

Also the date is suspect. The 18th seems more likely.

[maxy]

Last gen is last gen,things change.

Listing is legit.

[bork]

$250 isn't that the old Vita pricing?

If so then WOW.

You will say "WOW"!

It's the current Vita pricing.  And the question is what is missing from that SKU that the others offer?

[maxy]

maybe(controller included),

$249--console
$299--console+game
$349--console+game+extra storage

[Joe Molotov]

$249 - Console
$299 - Console + Controller
$349 - Console + Controller + Power Cable

[Cerveza mas fina]

how much for the whimsy edition?

[Great Rumbler]

how much for the whimsy edition?

$250

With all that whimsy, you don't even need a controller or power cable.

[Cerveza mas fina]

If they could only bottle the whimsy and sell it.

[Eel O'Brian]

probably just bundles, console will be the same in all

249 = console, 1 controller, no game

299 = console + nintendoland or whatever

349 = console + 2 controllers + game

[Tasty]

Last gen is last gen,things change.

Listing is legit.

It could be "legit" but listings pop up in GameStop's system occasionally for fake games. Killer 7 Wii anyone?

[Steve Youngblood]

the higher priced ones are most likely shitty retailer bundles like we see at every launch, where they saddle you with lee carvallo's putting challenge and a madqortz e-z-break controller if you want a launch system.

Now with scoring pencil!

[Joe Molotov]

Let's predict what other kinds of shitty new attachments third-party junk peddlers come up with for that tablet controller!

I predict:

1. Stylus Gloves - These comfortable, silken-style gloves have built-in plastic fingertip styli for the ultimate in tablet precision!

2. Polarized Screen Protector - Protects your precious tablet controller screen from scratches AND helps prevent eye fatigue!

3. Wii U Tablet Controller Vault - This anodized aluminum case is lined with egg crate foam, providing a military-grade level of protection from drops that could damage the high-tech electronics inside your tablet controller!

4. Skillshotz™ Targetting Reticule Overlay - When using your tablet controller's gyroscope and screen for FPS games, this pre-printed screen protector's realistic scope crosshair gives you the edge you need for pinpoint headshots!

[Eel O'Brian]

They probably do, and they're probably gonna get it, and the amount of stuttering messageboard defenses those Nintendoland purchases will generate make it totally worth every dime.

[maxy]

Why not?

It says Nintendoland

[Joe Molotov]

5. Wii U FabTab - An android 2.2 powered alternative to the Wii U tablet, it allows you to play Super Mario Bros. on a bootleg flash site or watch all the hottest Wii U game trailers while your friends, kids, or significant other uses the main Wii U console.

The stylus gloves will need a quick release of the index finger so the ninthing is able to clean his nose without getting the glove dirty.

OH GOD WHAT AM I SAYING

[Diunx]

The truth.

[Trent Dole]

You're saying the truth, Andy. I was just thinking about this last night and figured they'd sell this thing for $250-350 at launch and then I wake up to see all three prices are correct somehow. 

[Tasty]

SHIGGY FORGIVE ME FOR MY WAYWARD TECH LUST

[Trent Dole]

Shiggy will love you as long as you keep giving him money, fear not.

Shiggy will love you as long as you keep giving him money, fear not.

But he told me not to buy other consoles too.

"The time to launch an IP is at the front-end of the hardware cycle, and if you look historically the majority of new IPs are introduced within the first 24 months of each cycle of hardware platforms," Gibeau began. "Right now, we're working on three to five new IPs for the next gen, and in this cycle we've been directing our innovation into existing franchises.

"As much as there's a desire for new IP, the market doesn't reward new IP this late in the cycle," he added. "They end up doing okay, but not really breaking through."
Like all the big dogs, EA is frequently accused of knocking out incremental updates to established properties, but Gibeau feels forthcoming titles show the publisher at its most experimental. "If you look at what we're putting into Need For Speed: Most Wanted we're taking a lot of risks there, the same thing with Battlefield - you have to admit that, from Bad Company 2 to Battlefield 3, there's a huge amount of change there.

"But, if you look at the market dynamics, as much as there's a desire for new IP, the market doesn't reward new IP this late in the cycle; they end up doing okay, but not really breaking through. We have to shepherd the time that our developers spend, as well as the money that we spend on development in a positive way, so we're focused on bringing out a bunch of new IPs around the next generation of hardware."

"When you launch a new IP it needs to do something really, really remarkable, and that's easier to do when you have a new set of technology that gives you novel capabilities," Gibeau explained.

"This is the longest cycle that any of us have ever seen, and we're at the point where a little bit of fatigue has set in, and people are wondering what they can possibly do next. I've seen the machines that we're building games for, and they're spectacular.

Is WiiU spectacular?
