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

[TJ Spyke]

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

Junction Point isn't making Power of Illusion, DreamRift is. Officially, Junction Point right now is only making Epic Mickey 2.

Sakurai spotted sneaking into Platinum Games.

I wonder what he was trying to see....

[nickmitch]

If he hadn't stop to tweet, he might've actually seen something!

[BlackNMild2k1]

Killer Freaks confirmed to have online play (was said at E3, but now we know they followed through)



not that we thought they wouldn't.

NWR already reported it, but here is the full set of pics

[Enner]

The images give me high hopes that Project CARS will get a nice showing for the debut of the Wii U. Also, it seems almost a lock that two tablets will be supported.

Is anyone else worried that these pictures indicate either:

A) You must be a Red Head to play Wii U
B) Wii U will turn you into a Red Head

Another game has been announced for Wii U

Cloudberry Kingdom - coming to Steam in Sept and Wii U in Dec
insane looking Indie Platformer, most likely come to the Wii U eShop
http://www.pwnee.com/blog/

We're getting closer to our launch date (September for Steam and December for Wii U). If you're interested in pre-ordering you can do so via Kickstarter

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1564776348/the-hardest-platformer-ever"

Or if you just want to help out, that would be pretty sweet too! We're trying to fund raise a bit to help pay our artists and animators for the last stretch of development.

Cheers!

This game looks insanely difficult to the point where it's funny.

That last pic gives me a lot of hope about 2 umotes at once.  You know Nintendo would want to be able to sell separate umotes.  Selling them only as replacements for broken ones would not net them enough money.  I'm excited for what can be done.

The last pic sorta looks like two umotes as the fingers are gripping the controller on the left. Though I find it interesting that every other picture insists on showing the screen of the umote while this one doesn't. I don't believe it was intended to show off two umotes working together.

I would never buy Cloudberry Kingdom because I know I flat-out would not get anywhere near the most out of that game. Still, it's a game I would enjoy watching other people (who are good at videogames) play. It reminds of those insane Japanese shooters where the enemies shoot 572737436282 lasers at you. It's all precise timing and sharp reflexes, 2 things I most definitely do not possess.

Edited for clarity. I do not possess precise timing or sharp reflexes. I'm awful.

[ShyGuy]

The Dark Knight rises is already on Netflix? I need a subscription!

[Kairon]

Apparently cloudberry kingdom adjusts difficulty to how many times you die and has co-op so... easy mode and I'll buy it!

[Kytim89]

Is ot more difficult than Ninja Gaiden 3?

[Ceric]

Is ot more difficult than Ninja Gaiden 3?

Could be.  According to the Kickstarter an AI is actually generating the levels.

Kind of like Super Meat Boy? Or more insane than that?

[Dasmos]

Haha, you didn't see the video? Yeah, watch that.

[Adrock]

I've never played Super Meat Boy. However, I don't think I've ever seen any platformer like Cloudberry Kingdom. The closest thing I could compare it to were to those Japanese shooters where there are lasers everywhere and maybe 4 safe spots open for a fraction of a second. I'm always amazed when I see people play those games. I like them; I just can't play them. My brother got pretty good at Ikaruga.

+1 for cats playing ping pong.

[NWR_insanolord]

Play Super Meat Boy. One of the best platformers I've ever played, and pretty easily the best one not made by Nintendo.

All this praise for Super Meat Boy, and to this day I still look at it as a generic Flash game.


I hate how Flash has taken over everything from video games to animation. What happened to good old pixel art?

[NWR_insanolord]

You shouldn't look at it that way, because it's amazing. It's the whole graphics v. gameplay argument from a different angle; that game could be black and white Atari 2600 graphics and it would still be one of the best of the last decade if it played the same.

Their just cartoon drawings. How are they indicative of anything?

That just made me think of VVVVVV. I still don't get the appeal of that game. You just move from the floor to the ceiling, avoiding spikes. Is that really what the whole game is about? And those Atari 2600 graphics don't appeal to me at all. I grew up during the NES/Super NES eras (I was born in 1984), anything prior to that is just ugly, in my opinion. Then again, I love Pac-Man, DigDug, and Galaga...

It shouldn't - looks like one dude holding a Umote and another dude with a sideways Wiimote, hence the Umote being held at a weird angle to show it off.
