Topic: Wii U - e3 is over... now what?

[Spak-Spang]

Exactly...I think a Create-Your-Own New Mario Wii U with Wii tablet control would be brilliant. 

And just like Wario DIY having designers build their own levels is a way to sell more packs and DLC easily.  First because it is using tiles the downloads can be small, and second you can really get hype from famous designers creating new tiles.  In fact...new tiles could be selling points.  Capcom designer included Mega Man spikes tile...that now you can use in your level creation. 

It is just a simple and brilliant idea.  Nintendo could even allow new "Mario Suit" powerups.  Like a Mega Man suit or something...I know there is a flash game like that, but I could imagine a lot of fun gameplay and cross marketing possible from this idea.  A new Rayman game is coming out.  create 5 levels with the Mario creator, and create a hat that gives Mario Rayman's helicopter spin and such.

I think that would be a brilliant cross marketing tool. If NSMBMii was downloadable, I'd be more than inclined to pay for and download new suits and level packs to play. Could make for great pre-order bonuses too. Nintendo (and retailers) love when Nintendo titles sell consistently over their lifetime, and something like this would only keep that going.

I keep seeing everyone bring up WarioWare DIY....

...didn't that game bomb?  I know I've seen it in bargain bins galore, beside Glory of Heracles and Fossil Fighters...

Like any making game there is a really niche audience that feverishly love them and derive 50 to 100 times more gameplay out of it then the normal mortal.  Then there people like me who don't really enjoy creating things just because.

Ok so Epic say's that the intended platforms for Unreal Engine 4 have not even been announced.

I'm not going to interpret this any other way, other than they are just playing it safe to surprise the heck out of us.


I know my dude didn't let me down!

[MysticGohan]

Yay Catakiller! UR4 ftw!

[Kairon]

I can't wait to see the Caterkiller lynch mob that forms when it turns out you let us all down with your false hope! &P

Fear not friends, for my source sensed all the i'll will toward me and said this today:

"Watch man, people are going to be blown away by the Wii U news."

Tis true today, as the day it was written. 

If such a thing does not come to be, I will banish myself to the land of damned... the IGN forums.

Such a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Don't go Caterkiller! We'll forgive you! I'm sure we will!

I hope that I don't have to see you go- I've been noting that signature for far too long now.

Well, honestly if the Unreal Engine is usable with current generation.  Even if WiiU isn't a huge leap, it should be enough to use the next engine, unless the bare minimum requirements for the engine are going to price the majority of PC owner out of the market until they upgrade their computer. 

Ok, that isn't exactly fair, I know that the gaming PCs are much better than the current generation systems...and are probably already at the level of what the next generation consoles will be...but that is kinda to be expected.  computer systems can be modified and upgraded every year, but consoles can't.

What Kairon said. **** the IGN forums. Besides you're just the messenger.

[UncleBob]

IGN Forums nothing - banish him to GameFAQ's social boards.

[Oblivion]

Hey! Some GameFAQ boards are cool places.

[nickmitch]

Yeah, and if you read The Inferno, some circles of Hell are actually frozen over.

Most PCs that people are spending time gaming on are no longer the cutting edge like they use to be either.  Games just aren't demanding that.

Because they are made more consoles first.  So adapting to PC doesn't do much when the standard settings are optimized for 6 year old tech.

[Kairon]

I don't play PC games for graphics. I play PC games for the experiences and gametypes that its unique interfaces (like keyboard-mouse) and capabilities (like strongly networked and with a huge amount of expandable data storage) allow.

Hmm... sorta the same reason I play Nintendo consoles...

[ShyGuy]

I watch movies for the graphics. I read books for the gameplay.

[Spak-Spang]

I read books for the gameplay?  This is my new favorite quote.

I'm not  sure how many games Junction Point works on all at once, but if it's more than Epic Mickey 2 console version, and Epic Mickey: Power of the Portable version, then I would surprised, because they are definitely working on the Wii U

Actually, this is a much cooler quote, and I can see how I can make it work in my mind...I like it.

Here's hoping EM2 is being ported to the WiiU as well.
