I cannot believe that I just saw that despite seeing it 7 times.

OMG @ NES Megaman Cover Megaman

That is toooo funny.

It turns out that a woman I work with husband apparently works for Capcom.
I didn't try to pry too much when I found out today (she gave us Capcom branded retractable card cords for our security cards today) but I will try to see if she knows anything at all and hopefully meet her husband and get him to spill all of his secrets too.

You're obviously going to have to seduce this woman to get insider her home and hack in to her husbands computer. Good luck, my friend.

What happens if the husband is there?

It's not gay when it's in a 3-way.

I hope this means that CDi Link and Weegee will be the WiiU version if it exists considering how bad box-art mega man is in.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #2133 on:** January 28, 2012, 01:14:34 PM »

That would be funny and interesting. Too bad Nintendo pretends that the CD-i games never existed.

Nintendo could buy Sega? is that good enough?

nickmitch · « **Reply #2136 on:** January 28, 2012, 04:23:19 PM »

Even better: Nintendo announces merger with SEGA, changes Wii U name to Dreamcast 2.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #2137 on:** January 28, 2012, 04:58:18 PM »

**** yeah, Dreamcast 2 would be the perfect name for the system. That system is remembered positively by most gamers, even those who couldn't be bothered to buy one, and the casual audience doesn't know any of its history.

Release date, 12/12/12?

Believe. (Wouldn't happen though; it's not a Sunday. Which is why I gave up on 10/11/12.)

Wii U will have NFC tech for Skylander type fun

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/onepercent/2012/01/wii-u-to-have-touch-free-payme.html

Yeah buddy....Utab or TouchU will have NFC tech like most new phones do for small transfers of info and even micropayments using your phone. Strange how progressive Nintendo is with this. First they weren't about micropayments, then they were, now they're leading the field.

Quote

Nintendo has announced that the tablet-like controller of its next console, the Wii U, will come equipped with a near-field communications (NFC) chip, opening up the possibility of new kinds of games and new ways to pay for them.

"By installing this functionality, it will become possible to create cards and figurines that can electronically read and write data via non-contact NFC and to expand the new play format in the video game world," said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.

A game released last year called Skylanders used NFC technology to bring toy models into its virtual environment, but that required a special hardware add-on - the new controller will allow any game on the Wii U to do the same.

Iwata also suggested the chips could be used to pay for new in-game content via an NFC-enabled phone system, such as the recently launched Google Wallet. "Adoption of this functionality will enable various other possibilities, such as using it as a means of making micropayments," he said.

The company plans to announce the final details of the Wii U in June at E3, the video game industry's biggest annual gathering, and will release the console later this year.

Doesn't stop stories posted in the forum from eventually making their way to the front page and Talkback. Didn't see anyone saying, "hey, didn't we read about that in the forum yesterday!?"
Don't see an issue with dropping it in the All Inclusive Wii U thread too.

carry on.

Isn't ubisoft developing an unannounced wiiu card game? I'm getting the feeling that this NFC tech is all over that game.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #2145 on:** January 28, 2012, 10:50:34 PM »

I think Nintendo is getting in deep with 3rd parties because everything they seem to do going forward (Mostly on Wii U) has had some previous incarnation from a 3rd party. Almost as if they were trying to get them to test it out for them it was officially announced.

"Everyone" was asking for motion cameras and Sony & MS were talking about Move & Kinect....
Ubisoft comes out with Your Shape with motion camera. It sold decent but I guess Nintendo wasn't really wanting something similar to PSEye or Kinect so nothing ever came of that.

THQ then comes out with uDraw and it's an initial success selling over 1 million units is it's first few months. 7-8 months later uPad is revealed and the uDraw tablet looks like it was possibly inspired by work on an early meeting with Nintendo or something and they decided to test out some ideas ahead of the market.

EA got tired of waiting for Nintendo to release the Vitality sensor, so they made their own... no one cared. I have no idea how it sold, but EA Sports Active could still be receiving updates I'm not aware of, so it might not be a complete failure of added hardware.

Activision (?) just came out with Spyro Skylanders which I think uses that NFC tech and that was a major hit if the hype around the internet is anything to go by.
--------------------------

Is it possible that Nintendo is secretly having 3rd parties test out accessory ideas ahead of an official announcement? Is it all just a coincidence or is Nintendo getting inspiration from 3rd party efforts?

THQ came out with UDraw actually. And they did say that Nintendo was very helpful in them making it.

Oh, well then, let me modify post as to not distract from the overall point.

Why even go with the Dreamcast 2? Just call it the "Nintendo" Dreamcast... I would think that's enough to differentiate it from the Sega Dreamcast. Hah, I love this idea!

ThePerm · « **Reply #2148 on:** January 28, 2012, 11:11:08 PM »

does the u mote have a camera?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #2149 on:** January 28, 2012, 11:13:32 PM »

Yes it does. A front facing camera that they demonstrated Video Chat with.

Hopefully they also add a rear facing camera for AR style games and general picture taking.
