I don't even remember Iwata mentioning a new 3D Mario. Was that during the same Nintendo Direct where he showed X? If so, that explains a lot. Either way, I'll add this to my buy list later this year.

The Nintendo Direct confirmed that the Galaxy team would have a Mario game playable at E3. Same with the Mario Kart team (and Retro) having Mario Kart WiiU playable.

You cray, Shay. You cray.

No way is Retro working on Kart. C'mon now. They probably are. *dies*

I remember Mario Kart being mentioned, but not Mario. Weird. Whatever, it just means I have more to play this year. Always a good thing.

Shaymin's lying. Retro is obviously working on Mario Party.

I'd say that Mario Kart is the last place that Nintendo needs Retro to be right now, but then again there's Mario Party.

[Insert obligatory F-Zero wishings HERE]

Worst Timeline: Nintendo Land Kart

azeke · « **Reply #5757 on:** May 07, 2013, 11:15:20 PM »

Actually, there are a lot of people begging for Nintendo Kart, with full roster not limited to Mario characters.

ThePerm · « **Reply #5758 on:** May 08, 2013, 03:17:40 AM »

They would probably call it Smash Kart

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #5759 on:** May 08, 2013, 03:26:05 AM »

Smash Kart or Smash Racing. Nintendo SMASH Racing. Dude I would buy that.

ThePerm · « **Reply #5760 on:** May 08, 2013, 04:50:01 AM »

If that was the Starfox/Metroid crossover.....

I still don't like the idea of Retro doing it. It seems more than likely given my low expectations However, wtf did they hire all that talent for?

To make doughnut runs?

Have you guys read the rumor about Wii U's CPU and GPU upgrades with the 3.0 upgrade? I thought that wasn't possible.

Shaymin · « **Reply #5763 on:** May 11, 2013, 11:25:13 AM »

The CPU I can believe - the PSP's original processor was underclocked and firmware update 20 of 45,294 boosted it.

The GPU... not so much.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #5764 on:** May 11, 2013, 01:52:46 PM »

Overclocking would be possible but not with those numbers.

Caliban · « **Reply #5765 on:** May 11, 2013, 06:21:24 PM »

I think they just made a more efficient use of the system memory when the OS loads up. I think that before all the channel pictures would load up instantaneously, and now they have the fuzzy screen for a couple of seconds if not less.

Also I think that they could cut out more strain on system resources by allowing us to switch off the rendering of the main screen with the Miis and the floating channels.

Indie games will save us all!

Didn't know Enjoy Up and Nicalis (Tyrone Rodriguez) were both spanish companies! Neat.

thank you for your interest in zombiu. The team is working hard on a prototype. it´s too soon to tell you more.

Oblivion · « **Reply #5770 on:** May 14, 2013, 02:24:33 PM »

Oh, nice. I'd definitely buy a sequel if they improve on the things they didn't do as well.

azeke · « **Reply #5771 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:45:08 PM »

Next-gen is gonna be pretty interesting.

Main platforms will be xbox360/ps3 for at least one more year so that means third parties who want to make a jump will have at the very least FOUR platforms to take care of.

Budgets are gonna be absolutely ridiculous.

Dude, Square Mind is JUST like the Wii U North American ad!

Edit: I had a friggin weird dream last night. It was Nintendo Direct on the Tuesday the E3 show floor opened, and the first thing seen is everyone cosplaying as Nintendo characters. Miyamoto is dressed as Peach. Iwata talked about some hybrid title between Wii Music and Wii Party featuring all those characters. I couldn't see a chat room, but I'd imagine they were absolutely fuming about the fact Nintendo would highlight this during a year when they have so much else to show. Then Iwata basically pulled a "PSYCH!" and said "Okay, enough of that! Here's Smash Bros." This is what people would have initially guessed from the outfits.
