Topic: Questions NWR Needs To Ask @ E3

[Ian Sane]

Ask not just about Xenoblade but also why the Wii has so little new content this year.  Seriously, Nintendo has more or less left the Wii to rot with the exception of the Zelda.  Someone should point that out to them and make them answer and not accept it when Reggie lists Zelda, Kirby, Wii Play and a bunch of third party shovelware as "tons of content".  Don't let them spin it like this ain't a drought because it is.

Wii^u is fully backwards compatible with Wii and all of it's controllers and accessories.
But can you use one of the original Wiimotes, without a M+ attached, on a Wii^u game?

[nickmitch]

When will we hear more about online?

Will there actually be a focus on the core gamer this time or was that a lie?

I feel like I've waited entirely too long for Pikmin 3, what will you do to rectify this?

1. Will Cafe be able to render Wii/GC games natively at a higher resolution or just upscale them to fit the screen resolution?

Reggie said no to this on Game Trailers.

[silverwings01]

Like others have said, I want to know if Last Story, Xenoblade, and Pandora's Tower are coming to NoA or to NoE?  And if it's going to NoE in English, why isn't it coming to NoA?
In a similar vein, will the Wii-U be region-locked?

[Mop it up]

Luigi Dude's post is one I can get behind. Though I would suggest asking in a more elegant manner.

[stevey]

Ask anyone who touched a Wiiu unit if it has GC ports. (They probably think it's an innocent question and give a straight answer.) If not bug the executives for info on GC backward capability.
DS/DSi player/VC for the WiiU?
3DS gamer edition with twin DS slot and GB BC please?
Four pillars strategy? (Wii/DS causal gateway, WiiU/3DS extended hardcore platforms)
Are the 4 ports USB 2.0, USB3, or USB2.0+eSATA combo ports?

[Ceric]

Can I Play Wii Games on the uMote screen?
Does it have a stand to keep it up right? 
Any plans for DVR Type functions? 
Regular Hulu support? 
DLNA support? 
Can I use the uMote as a Universal remote?
Netflix Support?
Audio output support?
What is the common short name used around the office for the new controller?
How many of the new controllers can Wii u support at once?
How do you want Wiiu typed when Superscript is not available?
What type of accessories are you thinking for the uMote?
You know the current console being shown looks like a baby XBox 360?

Somebody needs to tell NOA why the f*ck isn't Xenoblade coming to North America.  A 100+ hour RPG that's considered one of the best RPG's in the last decade and already has an English translation since it's scheduled to hit Europe in a few months.

Seriously, somebody needs to give NOA sh!t for this since there is no excuse for a game like this to not be given an American release.  This isn't like Another Code where the previous game on the DS bombed or like Disaster where the quality was considered to low.  Xenoblade is a gaint AAA title that's gotten amazing reviews and plays more like a Western RPG then a traditional Japanese RPG which would allow the game to have good appeal to the North American gaming audience.

There is no excuse at all for this game to not come to North America and somebody needs to tell NOA just What the F*ck!

This.

It is mind-blowing to me how NO ONE in the American gaming media is holding Nintendo's feet to the fire about Xenoblade and Last Story.  SOMEONE ASK NINTENDO ABOUT THESE GAMES!

[Nick DiMola]

For what it's worth, there is another roundtable meeting tonight. It's unprecedented for Nintendo to have 2, so who knows what will come out of it.

Last night's didn't have too much info, other than the Pikmin 3 stuff, so I'm hopeful that tonight has a bit more info. The past two years, they announced new games (Skyward Sword and OoT 3D), so I have to imagine something new will come from tonight's.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Actual Wuu software is supposed to be show today so I'm just gonna go ahead and predict that tonites roundtable will be all about Wuu 3rd party games.

The only actual 3rd party game that showed actual Wuu capabilities was the Ghost Recon. everything else was PS360/PC footage. & GR is a Wuu console exclusive as far as I know.

[Nick DiMola]

Interesting. Zap was in the roundtable last night for us and he told me that they didn't want any Wii U questions, so you're probably right. I guess we'll see what happens, more third party stuff for Wii U is of more interest to me any way. Honestly, I'll just import Xenoblade and Last Story if it does go to Europe.

[Ceric]

I've compiled out a list for NWR to send to their email so they can easily print it.  The list of what everyone asked here that I haven't seen an answer for.  I'm going to send it up to them when the site is back.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Here is one more

Ghost Recon is a Wuu console exclusive, but is there Cross Platform Play?

I know we should be seeing footage of the Wuu (exclusive?) versions of the Ninja Gaiden III & Assassin's Creed.
Are there any other games that were specifically mentioned by 3rd parties?

[Ceric]

eMail away here what it says.

These were all taken, and I added a few more of my own, from http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=34380.25
This is a thread of Questions that people want to ask NWR at E3.  I've taken out the ones that are already answerred and the duplicates out.  Also took out the discussion to give a good printable list.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Put the question about the one uTablet per console back in.

We need clarification from an alternate source.

[MegaByte]

It is mind-blowing to me how NO ONE in the American gaming media is holding Nintendo's feet to the fire about Xenoblade and Last Story.  SOMEONE ASK NINTENDO ABOUT THESE GAMES!

We asked. We got nothing. Same for nearly every question in this thread -- they would not discuss any hardware specifics.

[Ceric]

I thought I had that one.

How many of the new controllers can Wii u support at once? (Ceric)

Yeah, I'm not crazy.

How about a rough estimation on when we would hear more about online so we can start another HYPE Countdown clock?

I don't know that would be HYPE as much as Let-Down.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Haven't you heard? To be HYPEd up only leads to disappointment when it comes to Nintendo.

They have Wanted posters out for me in the Funhouse.

[NWR_Neal]

What Aaron/Megabyte said. We want to know the answers to these questions, too. Everyone from Nintendo gave us the same non-answer about Xenoblade, Last Story, etc.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Q: Is it possible for Nintendo to allow 2 uScreens at once for local multiplayer before release?

ex. Madden play picking, pall catching/interception, on the fly audibles/play drawing
ex. NBA Live free throws, shooting and passing.

[Ceric]

Will balance and weight accurate Demo uMotes be sent out where the public can hold it?
Will their by a Cube Club for this before release so, customers can experience the system first hand?
(This, I think was a misstep for Wii and 3DS not having event before hand to allow non-press people to play the system before hand.  Their should be at least one done in every state in the US.  Zach will host the Alaskan one because, we all know he secretly loves the Sushi plate )

[Stogi]

Ask them "Who are you partnering with for Online?"
