They wouldn't answer that stuff either. Basically, they said they're focusing on "the experience" for this E3, and that's it.

Ask them "Who are you partnering with for Online?"

You have to be sneakier than that.

how about "Now that you've partnered with Valve for your online network, what do you think will be the biggest change in the way Nintendo approaches online gaming & community?"

My answer to that would be, "Wow, We partnered with Valve.  Good to know."

They didnt partner with Valve, they partnered with EA for their online. Watch Riccitello in the press conference. He's all "Imagine being connected to your friends, social networking, seamless online gameplay, games are a place to go, blah blah"

In my head I'm sticking with Valve until *officially* proven otherwise....

@Neal & Aaron:

I appreciate you guys for asking.  I would say a non-answer is better than a 'no' answer, like we got with Disaster and Fatal Frame 4.

What Aaron/Megabyte said. We want to know the answers to these questions, too. Everyone from Nintendo gave us the same non-answer about Xenoblade, Last Story, etc.

Sigh.  As others have stated, thanks for asking.  I'm not a raging fanboy or anything, but, thus far, I haven't felt this disappointed since E3 2008.  Actually, back then I just didn't care; this actually has me a little miffed.  Nintendo, talk about sending mixed messages.

Reggie: "Look, we hear you..."

No, apparently you really don't...

"Is the custom Wuu CPU based on the Power7 architecture?"

Ask a random Major Dev known to be working on the Wuu if in their personal opinion do they think ,based on what they know right now, that the power of the Wuu is designed to be a late entry in the current gen of HD consoles or more at competing as the first of the next gen consoles.

on the record but completely anonymous if that helps get an honest answer.

These were all taken, and I added a few more of my own, from http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=34380.25
This is a thread of Questions that people want to ask NWR at E3.  I've taken out the ones that are already answerred and the duplicates out.  Also took out the discussion to give a good printable list.

I'm about a day late in bringing this here, I didn't check my email closely yesterday.

Hey Ceric, thanks for collecting these. We read over them in the car this morning, and I'm afraid the answer to nearly all of them is "no" or "Nintendo/third-parties won't answer that yet". Trust me, we have asked. Regarding the third-party Wii U games, none of the companies here are discussing platform-specific features, and some didn't even know about the Wii U version until Nintendo's press conference. Detailed technical questions aren't being answered, nor is Nintendo discussing online features or anything else. They came with a short, finite list of details that would be revealed, and those are already out there. I would appreciate if you could relay this message to the forums. We are staying very busy writing impressions and previews of all the games here at E3.

This is from Dr. Metts.  It seems Nintendo had a checklist of what they wanted to answer and that was it.

Well since this list actually came in useful I guess we should bump it everytime an event comes up that NWR is going to attend just so they never run out of questions to ask

Like Mr. Neal here

who had a 2 parter to ask but forgot the 2nd part of his question....

Oh yes.. I saw that during the U-B-I soft conference (that's how Iwata pronounces Ubisoft).
and now the whole forum knows Mwahahahaha.


Question for the NWR staff:
is anyone gonna be attending GDC Europe on Aug 15-17
or Game Conference (Liepzig, Germany) which is also mid Aug ?

Don't know about GDC Europe yet (usually there's nothing there for us to cover), but we should have at least one person at GC.

I actually have another question for NWR

Did anyone get a top down angle pic of the new controller?
I haven't seen one that shows the top where the headphone jack is located.
