Topic: Wii U in Review (News & Rumor Consolidation)

[NWR_insanolord]

I seriously doubt they couldn't do it if they really wanted to. If the money were there, it would happen.

[Oblivion]

Not this again.

Ceric, that won't happen. The Osaka team is in charge of KH3, under the supervision and guidance of the original KH Tokyo team. I doubt Nomura is just going to let Nintendo developers in when they never did that for the other four Nintendo KH games.


Considering they said that FFXV's engine couldn't work to well with the PS3 and 360, I doubt KH3 would work well with the Wii U either. EDIT: Because KH3 is running on the same engine as FFXV.


Sorry guys. :\

I already told you: it simply can't happen. Even if Nintendo threw every fucking developer they have towards Square Enix to make a port of either game, it couldn't happen without some HUGE cutbacks, too huge for them to release it with confidence. That's the whole reason FFXV became a PS4/Xone title and not a current gen system. It will not happen.

I know you saw what I had posted earlier. Even if you don't think I know what I'm saying, simply throwing money at them won't matter because it can't happen. If it would have, they would've released XV and KH3 on the PS3 and the 360 alongside the next-gen systems because obviously that would make them more money. And since they didn't... guess what? If it's impossible for a PS3 and 360 to run it, it's the same for the Wii U. Simple as that.

MSRP of Deluxe cut to $299. Wind Waker HD bundle for the same price. I think it's time for Nintendo to do another ambassador program and give everyone who paid $350 Wind Waker HD for free.

Edit - they also announced a "new" handheld, the Nintendo 2DS

The Wii U already had it's ambassador program.

[BranDonk Kong]

No it didn't.

[Phil]

No it didn't.

It was basically the Famicom anniversary 30 cent games, I guess is what that poster means.

There are a lot of assumptions in this post.

[Oblivion]

Like? Nomura said himself that they moved development of XV and KH3 because they were impossible on current-gen systems.

[NWR_insanolord]

And you're taking him completely at his word on that. Developers say a lot of things when it comes to their games, and are many times full of ****. Now, he might not be on this occasion, but isn't it just as likely that the reason these games aren't coming to PS3/360 is that those consoles will be long dead by the time they actually finish these inevitably bloated and delayed games? It wouldn't make sense to release a big budget game on PS3 in 2016.

[Adrock]

I don't think either game has a chance of getting ported to Wii U, but it's naive to think they aren't possible. If Square Enix wanted to (and likely also got a paid lots), they could make it happen.

[NWR_insanolord]

That's really what I'm saying. I don't see it actually happening, but I'm sure they could do it if they wanted to. Dead Rising was ported to the Wii, for ****'s sake; if you really put your mind to it, you can port just about any game to just about any platform.

[Oblivion]

Just because they can doesn't mean it should be. Meaning, it can but the quality may not be what Nomura's what like it to be.


And like I said which you seemed to completely ignore, if they really wanted to they could release it on both platforms. They aren't. Why is that? Because it isn't fucking possible.


Plus, why not a PS3 release in 2015/16? They released new PS2 games just last year. Come on, dude.

[Oblivion]

Hell, dude, your favorite video game series is getting a release on the PS2 this September.

[NWR_insanolord]

There's a clear difference between the kind of PS2 games that have come out in recent years and the kind of games we're talking about here.

I didn't ignore what you said, I just don't accept your premise that the only possible reason for it not coming to PS3 is that it would be impossible to bring it there. They could be perfectly capable of making the games for those platforms and choose not to for other reasons.

[Adrock]

I'm not really convinced that JRPGs (especially from modem Square Enix) will advance enough that the gameplay isn't possible on Wii U. I've seen the latest FFXV clips. The visuals are nice, but gameplay-wise, what about it is so next-gen?

[Mannypon]

I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams that whatever SE is developing for their new KH, that its impossible on the WiiU.  Hell, I just saw video of Dragon Age Inquisition that looks amazing and truly next gen, something I didn't think I would see possible on the PS3/360 and yet its somehow slated to be in development for both alongside the other next gen systems.  I'm going to go on a limb here and saying there is no way the new KH will be more technically advanced as what EA is putting behind the new Dragon Age.  So, with that logic, if the new Dragon Age can be done on current gen systems. then KH, can be done on the WiiU.  It'll more than likely have to be downscaled but no where near as bad, IMO, to what was needed in bringing Dead Rising to Wii.

WayForward's new Kickstarter is indeed for a new console Shantae game.

I find it a bummer that GTA V is not coming to the Wii U.

Q4 2014. They must have a lot of junk on their plate before that...

I find it a bummer that Nintendo didn't do much in order to bring GTAV to WiiU

[Adrock]

Maybe they did and Rockstar was asking too much.

When I decide to roll off my couch, I will pledge at least $15 to Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. The soundtrack is enticing for that theme song so I may bump it up to $25.

[Adrock]

I officially backed Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. I'll probably buy Shantae and The Pirate's Curse when that comes out on 3DS. Honestly, that one actually sounds more interesting since it seems like WayForward Technologies is changing up the gameplay a bit more from Risky's Revenge (and I presume the original). Half-Genie Hero looks and sounds like straight-up Shantae HD which isn't bad, but the evolving gameplay of The Pirate's Curse is more enticing. I suppose I'll find out if Half-Genie Hero does more with the series next year.

In a bizarre turn of events, I won $600 from one hand of Let It Ride at the local casino, and so I decided to use some of the money to purchase a Wii U. I opted for the Zelda edition for a couple of reasons. Since I'm not waiting for some sort of deal, I figured it was better to choose the limited edition that might be hard to find this holiday, and may hold its value better than the regular Deluxe, and also because Wind Waker HD will probably never be as cheap as Nintendo Land is now. I also bought Nintendo Land since, as I said, it's cheap!

Adding what I already had, I have 5 games to start off my Wii U adventure:

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
New Super Mario Brothers U
Nintendo Land
Tank! Tank! Tank!
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

I am happy for you that didn't have to put up with the initial drought and can now enjoy the Wii U at its fullest. The only thing missing from that list is The Wonderful 101, a must have.

[Adrock]

Did you buy Tank! Tank! Tank! at retail? I tried the free to play download from the eshop and nope'd that off my Wii U almost immediately.

Also, there's a really great Buy Two Get One Free sale on Wii U games going at Target this week if you want to spend more money on videogames. Glad you finally joined the club of cool people with Wii U, all 37 of us.
