Region Lock was pretty much expected

[Mr. Gundam]

Region-free is a huge selling point for me, but I expect all systems to be region-locked until we find out otherwise.

I might get to play Vanquish and Bayonetta after all!

[Joe Molotov]

Vanquish and Bayonetta on PC

[Tasty]

Or 3DS.

But mostly PC.

[Himu]

lol at bayo or vanquish on 3ds

There may be some truth to the E6760 GPU from AMD.

[archnemesis]

The only important sentence is "this modification means that its specifications may differ greatly from retail GPUs". Let's judge the graphical output instead of theoretical numbers that don't mean anything.

[Eel O'Brian]

that's an awesome rondo hatton gif

try e4690, wii u's been taped since well before it got iterated into the e6760

You guys need to realize that Nintendo didn't just walk down to the shop and pick up some of these cards and slap them in the box. They had their own more skilled engineers probably take multiple passes over the layout of the chip to remove bottlenecks, increase the design performance and add in more advanced technology features. Ninty understands that you can't just throw whatever in a box and get away with it, you have to take care and make sure that the technology is being used properly to produce elegant and artful game-play not just throw pixels around the screen with uncaring brute force.

Thats a 2009 card, Iwata apparently said the GPGPU was a 2011 card but i cant find the links to where iwata said it just find people in forums saying it.

Nintendo will take an Athlon 64 cpu to places you never thought possible.

He just said it was GPGPU, didn't mention any dates unless I'm missing something.

From GAF:

Apparently Retro showed off their Wii U magic to Epic Games and got them to reconsider bringing Unreal Engine 4 to the system.

WHAT A SENSATIONAL RUMOR

[Mr. Gundam]

So PC, 360 and PS3 are getting Mass Effect Trilogy (all three games) in November, but the WiiU is only getting ME3?

Cause that makes sense.

That really makes no sense. Even more than the PS3, the Wii U needs a get-up-to-speed collection since it's missing both of the first two games...

[Himu]

ME1 is coming to ps3? holy shit, haha. took six years.

[Mr. Gundam]

Yep. Microsoft must have sold the rights to EA or something.

Maybe if Nintendo payed some $$$  to EA...

I don't think EA is investing a lot into this---PS3 version is coming at "some later date"(just one old game to port)

[Sho Nuff]

You also have to ask "How much am I going to make from a port of a very complex 5-year-old game on launch hardware with a comparatively small audience that likely isn't even interested in this genre to begin with"

[Takao]

You have to remember, Andrex and the other hxc Nintendo whimsy herd haven't played 90% of the franchises on that list so it's like a whole new world to them.

[Tasty]

I don't see how it's much different from, say, "OMFG GREATEST LAUNCH LINUP EVER" Vita's launch list.

[Shaka Khan]

ME1 is coming to ps3? holy shit, haha. took six years.

Yep. Microsoft must have sold the rights to EA or something.

A "trilogy bundles" could be their way of sidestepping the exclusivity clause.

[Takao]

I don't see how it's much different from, say, "OMFG GREATEST LAUNCH LINUP EVER" Vita's launch list.

None of those games were playable on a handheld before. You can play loads of Wii U's launch titles on another console.

Before Mario Party HD but after Mario Sportstravaganza HD.

I wonder how many mini game comps Nintendo will release on Wii U. You've got Nintendoland, Game & Wario, and I'm sure we'll get Wii Sports U, Mario Party U, and Wii Party U.

[Mr. Gundam]

Don't forget Mario Wii U Party and Princess Peach's Slumber Party Wii U HD.

Mass Effect 3 isn't launch?

[Tasty]

Launch window.

[pilonv1]

So the ME trilogy comes out November 6th. And they can't even get ME at launch?

[Shaka Khan]

And MH3U. As soon as one of those games gets released I'll buy one.

I don't hate Mario and co., but they rarely make me run out to buy a Nintendo system.

[Tasty]

Omg Shaka's a hunter?

[Stoney Mason]

I normally avoid this thread since I have no interest in the Wii U but the launch title thing just struck me as too funny. I was browsing GAF and so many people were like OMG BEST LAUNCH EVER!

The launch titles outside of a couple rehashed Nintendo titles is the exact same one every other platform has this fall.

[Diunx]

Truly the beginning of a new generation.

God damn EA

[Momo]

EA and Capcom should merge and become the ultimate force in gaming

[pilonv1]

Got to play one today. Controller does feel nice, it's not heavy and it is very comfortable.

NSMB - I enjoyed it and it nice to see Mario in HD but nothing ground breaking unless you count being able to cling to blocks. It looks pretty decent on the smaller screen too but the multiplayer mode is useless.
ZombiU - Some interesting ideas but there's not much going on. It seems like there's always some screen effect going on that distracts you from the fact it doesn't look very good. Controls are fine, the live inventory and the scanning function are nice uses of the second screen for a launch game.
AssCreed3 - Seemed to have some serious frame rate troubles at times, otherwise indistinguishable from the PS3/360 versions. The current/wind dispay on the second screen is a decent attempt but doesn't really add anything.
Rayman - Was probably the most fun I had with any of the Wii U games, but I don't see how it would be interesting single player. Most of the game pad stuff was gimmicky but at least they were trying something different. Also used the "pro controller" for this and I know everyone has said but the the buttons under the analogue stick is beyond stupid.
Sonic Racing - Ran at about 20fps for some reason, looked decidedly worse than the other HD versions. The second screen was a map with some 1/4 screen videos if something happened. Apparently it supports full play off the gamepad but it wasn't available
Batman - is Batman
Darksiders 2 - is Darksiders 2
Nintendo Land - lol

Came away with no real change in interest for the machine, if I didn't have a 360 or PS3 already I'd be more impressed by it. Nothing you didn't already know.

Srsly though "MonHan" annoys me. I keep reading it like MonHam or ManHands.

I think MonHun's fine. Honestly it just rolls of my mind-tongue better than MH.
