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

[Caterkiller]

Wonderful 101 looks very charming. It has a really cool and fun style to it. Looks light hearted enough to cater to younger Nintendo fans but has an epic flair to it that pure morons only enjoy.

Wait... Are you calling me a moron.  No wonder your so flat chested.

I can get excited if the games look as fan as The Wonderful 101. I can't wait to play that one.

Hahaha! +1

Is there a big anniversary for GBA coming up any time soon? Maybe they'll wait for something like that before making an announcement

This is the 10th anniversary of the first good GBA model. Though I don't think that's enough to justify it.

Its been more than 10 years from when the original GBA design came out... You mean the PoS SP don't you?

Haters will always, hate.

The article isn't complete bullshit.

I would totally agree on the premise that Thrid-party support is something to be wary of. I would also say its obvious that Nintendo is having trouble with HD development.

How other comments are bullshit though. I mean he complains that their isn't any new IP from Nintendo but convenient lay forgets to mention that new footage of the Wonderful 101 was shown and the Trailer for X was shown as well. Not to mention last year Nintendo had a few new IP in the form of a few eshop games.


While I do wish Nintendo had a bigger increase of new IP I understand why they use existing characters when building a new game. Also its bullshit how he complains about Yoshi Yarn looking similar to Epic Yarn. One of my favorite Games is perfect Dark which is a reworking of an old title.

I think a bog reason why a lot of Journalist have been angry at Nintendo is because ND has really hurt that they get clicks. Its sad because the article in question does have some valid points.

Going to sit down and rewrote this on a real keyboard and expand on it. It'll be interesting to see how the press reacts to Sony and MS next systems and if some of the IP is used again.

How is it obvious Nintendo's having trouble with HD development?

[shingi_70]

Having trouble would probably be a bad term to use. More like I don't think they were really prepared for how time consuming and expensive HD development would be. It'd part of the reason they have this expansion coming to their main building soon. If I recall isn't Namco working on smash because they wanted to get with someone would had experience with HD development,.

I think we take as gamers look at Nintendo and wrongfully complain about them not having more. The problem is that the majority of the Industry is working on has stupidly oversized teams and reuse assets (Assassin's Creed, FFXIII).

Even the bigger mainline titles take a good amount of time before the next one comes out.  It was six years between Halo 3 and 4 and the development time was around 4-5 years. I'm expecting another big wait between H4 and H5 as well. Assassins Cred had a 3-4 year delay with all of its main series. We just get those side games because ubisoft loves its vitamin D.


But for some reason nintendo who also follows this type of schedule is considered bad.


The only real thongs that were disappointing about ND to me were Mario Kart so soon and the fact that the NSMBU dlc wasn't announced.

[Caterkiller]

Hey does anyone have a good idea what 1st and 2nd party Nintendo developers are out there that we don't know what they are working on? Retro, Brownie Brown, Camelot? Or maybe they are doing stuff for 3DS? Who is left that we have no idea what they are working on?

[azeke]

Retro, AlphaDream (Mario&Luigi guys), NST.

EAD, ND Cube and Good Feel were outed in the last direct.

Maybe HAL Labs since they're kinda quiet lately. Probably handheld Kirby of some sort.

[NWR_insanolord]

NST brought in some new people a while ago, I'd assume to start working on a game, which I hope to see somewhere soon.

[azeke]

Also, Monster Games. I want my ExciteBots 2 dammit.

Cool thanks! Also can we talk about those Pikmin pics? The irises in that Bulborbs eyes look hauntingly real. Some of those plants would look so real if I couldn't tell they were flat from certain angles. The rocks look like rocks man! I'm happy with that, and can live with it til the end, plus it will only get better.

Halo 3 and 4 were developed by different teams, Bungie and 343 Industries respectively. Therefore, 1 studio wasn't slaving away on a single game the whole time. To be more specific, while there may have been 5 years between Halo 3 and 4, Halo Reach from Bungie came out in 2010, 3 years after Halo 3. It may not be a numbered entry, but it's essentially Halo 0. Halo 4 began development in 2009. That said, development for each 360 entry was roughly 3 years, not to mention both Bungie and 343i even split their teams to work on side projects, ODST and Anniversary. The new Halo trilogy was planned from the start to be a trilogy so I wouldn't be surprised if Halo 5 came out in 2014. Maybe the Anniversary team started work on Halo 5 once they finished their game with the Halo 4 team moving over as well after Halo 4 was released.

I'm a little wary of Pikmin 3 and Epic Yoshi Yarn actually looking like what has been presented till I see them in action for myself.  Grant it that Ni No Kuni looks great so I'm not fully skeptical of those games but I still want to see them in person running.

Hey Caterkiller, do the new Pikmin pics look much better than what we saw at E3, Or is it about the same as Nintendoland?

If they can pull that off I be ecstatic.

[gbuell]

Other than a couple rough ground/rock textures, those are flawless.

[ShyGuy]

Bulborb is starting to look like real life Homer Simpson.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Those pikmin shots look as amazing!!! Way beyond what was at E3.

[Stogi]

Considering how beautiful Pikmin and Pikmin 2 were, I have the utmost confidence that Pikmin 3 will blow our minds, especially since Miyamoto made it a point to bring up HD graphics as one of the many useful features for the game.

It's definitely one series that would benefit from better graphics.  And I for one can't wait to see the final game.  Here's hoping the delay is to make it prettier.

[shingi_70]

Pikmin is weird because some shots still look okay while others look amazing. Hopefully the delay is to add fucking online multiplayer.

Also anyone else find how we have all of these articles complaining about the ND annoucments but when Sony did so etching similar at games con they received nothing but praise.

Not a special event is part of it and Nintendo Fans we've been on defensive so long that we're easy to hit.
