Wii U Discussion Thread.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

Now back on the rails now, Can't believe that Nintendo's E3 is under a month away. Have to say that Nintendo has to step it up a bit so that they don't end up like Sega. Though that is unlikely right now since of that they ain't dead yet. But hey, I think that they could get back on the "console" tier since of games like Batman Arkham City and Assassins Creed III being on the Wii U also.

Nintendo is nowhere near Sega. In fact every other video game company besides Nintendo is closer to Sega than Nintendo will ever be

[Mark_Chaos]

Just wait until those "hardcore gamers" rise up and take power in a bloody coup. Then we're all done for...

You want my axe while I get my shield and sword?

[DarkGengar]

E3 is less than a month away! I haven't been this anticipated for an E3 since 2010. I hope that Nintendo delivers an excellent show!

Has there been any other rumored launch games for the Wii U? Besides Pikmin and Starfox Wii U of course.

Dunno about other rumored launch games, but I do know of a few confirmed ones. There's Darksiders II and I believe Ninja Gaiden III & Killer Freaks from Outer Space are launch games. In any case, we'll see a confirmed list of launch games for the Wii U at E3.

[R_N]

I suspect DQX will be a launch title, too.
In Japan, at least

[DaAuraWolf]

Assassin's Creed III would seem like a logical launch title since that it would have been already released for the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 by the time that Nintendo releases the system. That is if the stick to the usual mid November release dates of their home consoles dating back to the GameCube. But hey, Rayman Legends and that Avengers game would also seem like plausible launch titles since that they would have more than likely been produced by then. Then again Rayman Legends does though seem to be like a game that would more than likely be released during the launch time frame like around a few weeks after launch. That is if Ubisoft gets the entire game developed before the systems launch but not enough time to get it out for the launch of the game. Besides the point, We should get a general idea of what games should come out during the launch time next month at E3.

I plan on getting a Wii U later this year, I don't care how much it would cost I want to get one right away and get Assassin's Creed III with it. I for one am glad the Nintendo is going to have some great third-party developers for there system now.

Uhm, it's just more of the same developers as the Wii.

[Serebii!]

I am really liking everything about the Wii U but I'm still not sure if I will get it

[DarkGengar]

What? The Wii severely lacked 3rd party titles due to lack of power. Now that the Wii U is capable of handling these games,it's getting titles such as AC,Ghost Recon,Batman AC,Ninja Gaiden III,etc.

List the major third party developers producing games for the Wii.

I can assure you; it will be next to no difference once you find out who's onboard, you'll just get more multiplatform ports from the usual developers rather than entirely different games.

What's funnier is literally all of the titles you mentioned are those very multiplatform games.

Except that was Wii's biggest problem concerning third-parties; they missed out on a boatload of multiplatform games, and many of the ones they did get were downgraded ports of the 360/PS3 version. As long as Wii U doesn't get screwed on multiplatform games it will be fine.

THIS!

The Wii's ports are awful! Not only were there the graphics worse but every software developer seemed like they were forced to use the motion controls when the Classic Controller was clearly available. Let's just hope that they don't do similar and think that they have to use the tablet's touchscreen.

Only having multiplatform titles didn't save the Gamecube, so I expect a repeat of that. People are better off buying a competing console with an established userbase and online infrastructure, rather than Nintendo's obvious baby steps into the times.

What's worse is this console is heavily rumored to not be substantially powerful than the current generation's hardware.

But I'm sure the latest Mario won't actually require powerful processors to run.

[R_N]

And every developer that's worked with it has, for the most part, said it's at least on par with current generation hardware or stronger.

Can we stop jumping early to the panic button since Nintendo is not and has yet to be in the same boat as Sega was. I mean that since that Nintendo is going back to do what they can do to compete running with Sony and Microsoft. In fact, The 3DS is beating the Vita in all markets since that the 3DS is better designed as a handheld because it can also double as a convention tool with StreetPass and have stuff the Vita just don't got. But hey, There is still a chance that the Wii U would have Unreal Engine 4 but at least will have Unreal Engine 3.5. Besides, Nintendo means "leave luck to the heavens" anyways and we should do leave luck to the heavens also when it comes to Nintendo.

Other than that, I've seen that there is a rumor about there being a iCloud like thing for the Wii U. Hope that they would since that it could possible mean that the Nintendo DS Player wouldn't be needed if they do this. That is because the Cloud could have the digital copies of retail games that you bought on the 3DS' eShop on the Cloud which you could get download on your Wii U also. Guess that it would probably be like Apple's iCloud since that is how a cloud system works out after all.

*Destroys abnormaly long quote*

Funny, since YOU implied they were on the same boat.

[DaAuraWolf]

Opinions are one think that can change especially when it comes to stuff like businesses. Though I did look at the picture and realized that Nintendo ain't dead like Sega yet. In fact, I could possibly see something like these congressmen that want cigar warning labels on video games would actually might support Nintendo since Mario ain't violent as Call of Dooty. I mean that since hearing a news report about hearing about a kid committing animal cruelty on turtles by stomping on their backs because of a video game has a high a chance to actually happening as Pig flying in a frozen over hell. But hey, I guess that someone at Nintendo gets "wings" when someone returns a Call of Dooty game.

[BCVM22]

What in all hell are you even talking about? What are you ever talking about? Why is it you refuse to stop making posts like that?

[DaAuraWolf]

What I was trying to get at is that people that complain that video games are violent would more likely side with Nintendo instead of Sony or Microsoft since Nintendo games are not that violent as M rated games.

But hey, I think that was more easier to say that than what my past posts were. Gonna start doing this more regularly since this is way easier. Thanks BCVM22 for showing me the error of my posting ways.
