"Dead Island" & "Call of Juarez" Dev making something for Wii U
http://araw.pl/artykuly_zalaczniki/ARAW%20CEBIT%202012.pdf


I've been wanting to play Dead Island, so I hope it's related to that.

[Adrock]

Dead Island was pretty weak. Yes, I played it. I won't say no to any additional support for Wii U though. A good place for Techland to start would be to come up with a game/idea that invests people in a similar way as that the famous Dead Island trailer did which is pretty much the best thing about Dead Island. Unfortunately for Techland, Naughty Dog's The Last of Us seems to have a head start in that department.

Here is a list of games that I would like to appear on the Wii U:
 

• Dino Crisis 4
• Okami 2
• No More Heroes 3
• Madworld 2
• Resident Evil 6
• Xenogears 2 (developed by Monolith Soft)
• Zone of the Enders 3
• Red Steel 3
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Dead Space 3

I hope that Team Ninja repairs some of the more mediocre aspects of Nnija Gaiden 3 when they release it again for the Wii U. Bring back all of the bossess from the previous two games as part of a DLC pack. Allow the player to fight them using the Ninja Gaiden 3 gameplay engine, but retain the hero mode that Team Ninja introduced with the new game. This would be a good enough encentive to purcase an otherwise borderline-shovelware game.

Sequel much?

While its nice to see established brands on the Wii U to legitimize the system, I'd rather see aggressive new IPs from studios known for producing content like what you posted. While I love me some Resident Evil, can we have a dinosaur suspense game without calling it Dino Crisis? I don't know if the name carries much weight, other than the baggage of the original games.

[Kairon]

I haven't played Draw Something, but from what I understand of it... wouldn't that be an awesome game for the Wii U?

[tendoboy1984]

It looks like Foxconn is expected to see some growth in the 2Q thanks to products like Wii U
https://www.research.hsbc.com/midas/Res/RDV?p=pdf&key=4kuSY2d6um&n=325456.PDF

. We maintain our Overweight (V) rating. Near-term catalysts include MacBook
update and Wii U announcement in 2Q, as well as iPhone 5 launch in 2H

one of the early rumors was that Foxxconn was manufacturing Wii U. Seems that alot of the earliest rumors have been proven true so far. especially those from 01.net

Ugh. More outsourcing to China.

You'd think that Nintendo, Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. would be rich large enough to build their own factories and hire their own workers... The auto industry does it, why can't electronics companies?

[Chozo Ghost]

Ugh. More outsourcing to China.

What do you mean by "more"? There's just no change. When has a console ever been manufactured in North America? In order for the jobs to have been outsourced to China they would have first had to have been here in the first place, and that is not the case, nor has it ever been the case. So its not outsourcing, its just the continuation of the way things have always been with electronics and such.

I want new IPs as anyone else, but those that I listed are the continuation series that I want to play on Wii U.

The controller has sticks!!!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/#!/MATTYB00SH/status/203939010610085888

-The buttons, D pad and Controller sticks are not aligned any more.

-Start and select seem to have been moved.

-Is it rounder too?

-Also notice the logo? Yup Wii U!

-A mystery square underneath the D Pad? Is it something touch sensitive? Or maybe that is the built in heart monitor? What was that thing called?


-Or that could be where we put our toys and pay for thins through the controller.

[Chozo Ghost]

I wish there was more color on the controller. I hate how everything is solid white and sterile and lifeless like surgical gloves. We need some green, red, blue, yellow color coded buttons like there is on the Super Famicom controller.

When you are playing a game which prompts you to do some quicktime button pressing sequence, isn't it easier if you know to press the red one versus say Y and then trying to figure out which one Y is? Being color coded makes it easier and it looks better in my opinion.

Do you have nothing to say about the button placement? Or the actual control sticks? Were you not whining about that very thing when this was first revealed?

I think solid colors are best. The X-Box controller can pull it off, but the moment Nintendo does it, you, yes you Chozo Ghost, will be complaining it looks too "kiddy" like the gamecube controller.

So better to have something that looks like a "cool and hip" device then another "toy" right?

Oh the home button seems to light up on the outer circle, there's your color.

[Dasmos]

It looks wider. On the the older design the control sticks were in-line with the d-pad/buttons but on this one they're further out?

[Adrock]

Do you have nothing to say about the button placement?

I do! They moved Start and Select. Hooray!

What's to the left of the power button?

Though probably unnecessary could it be a release button for the rechargeable docking station? Or something that changes channels like the wavebird when multiple tablets or in use?

[Sarail]

BOOM.

Way to go, Cater.

Also, I really really hope the left and right sides have ergonomically curved "handles" or edges - so it feels like you're holding a standardized controller. That actually was my only beef with the thing when it was introduced last year. Hopefully Nintendo has listened -- and judging by this photo... it has.

I'm not in any mood to deal with this crap right now, but let me just say you are wrong. I would not complain if they did this which I just fucking said they should. Why the **** would I say they should do it if I would complain if they did?

[Adrock]

I was thinking maybe it was the sync button but wouldn't it just say "sync"? Maybe you can press it to quickly switch from tv to tablet controller and vice versa instead of going through the game's options.

[tendoboy1984]

It looks terrible. The whole design is just so asymmetrical and cluttered.

The Start and Select buttons should be moved below the D-pad in a horizontal line.


Like this:

Analog stick

D-Pad

[Start] [Select]


Also, this guy is endangering his reputation, because once Nintendo finds out about this, they'll send their ninjas to take him out. Why can't developers follow these strict NDA policies? They're in place for a reason.

EDIT: Why is it that whenever I double space (press Enter twice), when the comment is posted there is a big gap between the sentences?

[Adrock]

I like Start/Select under the face buttons. It's like the DS Lite/i.

[Sarail]

Taking another glance at that "Home" button...

Methinks that since Nintendo has "raised" it up a hair, and it looks to have that translucent plastic around the edges, I bet that the left half of that Home button glows blue to signify "Controller 1" and the right half will glow blue to signify "Controller 2."

[tendoboy1984]

I just noticed that the Start and Select buttons are also + and - buttons.

[Caterkiller]

The page doesn't exist anymore! The Nintendo Ninja's got him! The Nintenjas...


@ Chozo Ghost - I probably should not have said you would complain about the exact opposite thing that you want, but this is the way I see it:

1st - You'll ask for colored buttons, or color anywhere for that matter.

2nd - Nintendo adds colors to the buttons. You'll be happy for 2 seconds until the rest of the non-Nintendo gaming world criticizes the colors for being to childish like they did the different colors on the Gamecube controller. 

3rd - After noticing the general hard core gamer does not accept it, you will follow suit and say it was bad idea and it caters to casuals.

Still I jumped on you so quickly because there is at least one major positive thing shown here and you had nothing to say. I'm always interested in hearing what the super naysayers around here have to say. I certainly like reading the pessimistic comments from the usual suspects here, mainly cause it brings a lot of discussion to these otherwise very silent forums. Even if the comments are somewhat irritating to me personally.

But now something genuinely good is leaked and the first and only thing you get on is the colorless controller. I hope Ian and Broodwars say something to the same extent. It will just prove to me they care not to be happy and in some twisted way enjoy being mad at something. Like Squidward or Oscar the Grouch.

Don't get me wrong I like and respect you, Ian and Broodwars very much, and have for years now. To me it's like a game to see if you and those 2 think Nintendo did something right.
