Aztec when the Spanish invaded would be better.
Who would be the templar and who would be the assassins?  And how would the Aztec be on either side?

Also there will be head set support day one for Wii U from Lygo International.

It would be nice if we could use the DS headset.
Oh yeah, I got those at some point. I have two of them.  It'd be nice if those work.

I would argue that the guys in charge of the gaming divisions of Sony and Microsoft would agree with Reggie on this.

The difference is I don't think they'd say it publicly. As proven by this thread, no matter how true it is, saying that is just going to get people upset.
I agree.  I knew the moment I read it that it'd cause a huge ruckus and people would be calling for Reggie's head, even when he is pretty accurate with his statement.

But doesn't Nintendo want to make "family friendly" games? Anything with the word "Devil" in the title might offend the soccer mom casuals. They did buy Fatal Frame which is M rated, but at least the title isn't likely to put people off.
Doesn't the new Brain Training game have the guy with devil horns on it?  I keep wondering how Nintendo is going to market that one outside Japan.

I'm going to cast my vote for $329.99....

....Oh, wait... nevermind.  :-\
I'm still sticking with this one.  What happened to the original prediction thread?

make it so that the same physical games work on both the handheld and console.

You mean like the Sega Nomad? That idea didn't really go anywhere, but that's probably just because Sega didn't back it enough.
After the Genesis, Sega didn't back anything enough. They put their hands in too many pies.

I do believe that there are games coming out that if you buy one version, you get the counterpart on the PS3/Vita for free.

DSi was not a new system, it was the second redesign of the DS.
That doesn't change the fact that it functioned very similar to the roll that the GBC played.  It doesn't matter what the original intention was of either system.  They filled the same roll as a stopgap and that was my point.  DSi added functionality that was not in the original DS or DSL.  GBC, while originally intended to be a new system, added minor new functionality that was not in the original GB or GBP.

Intention and reality are not always the same thing.

1133
Because it was a new system. It was just a stopgap one, give them time to work on the net one, but still new. You are stretching to find similarities.
DSi was also a stopgap one as well.  It was a new system with new specs.  Nothing was redesigned on it. How am I reaching?

1134
Lite and XL models shouldn't count. The DSi was different than the other revisions because it added online downloads and a built in camera and other things.
I'd agree that Lite and XL models don't count but I'd say that DSi was more like DS 1.1, not DS 2.  Sure it added some new features and DSiWare but the retail games were all still regular DS games.

Whether or not Nintendo meant the name to mean 3D or not, it seems that's what the public is going to think it means regardless.
It's probably best to say the DSi was to the DS as the GBC was to the GB.

Not really, Game Boy Color was a new system and not just a re-design.
GBC had a minor bump in specs, same with DSi.  GBC had about less than 5% of all games made after it was released exclusive to it.  All other games could be played on GB, same with DSi and DS.  GBC was released 2 years before the GBA was released.  DSi was released 2 years before the 3DS was released.  GBC looked exactly the same as the GBP outside of a battery bulge.  DSi looked exactly the same as the DSL, outside of the camera.

How are they not similar?

WII (Wireless Interactive Interface)  Not sure what the U means.
ULTRA!!!!!!  They took it out of the Nintendo Ultra 64 so they could add it to the second Wii. Brilliant!

1138
I could definitely see some quick and dirty ports of 360 games without touchscreen support coming to the Wii U.  You can use four pro controllers after all and that's pretty much a slightly modified 360 controller.

1139
It would be nice to go back to left-handed Link just as a nice attention to detail.  The fans would certainly dig it.  If Nintendo doesn't do it, I don't really care.  Aren't these all different Links anyway so why can't some be right-handed?
That is very true.  Why does it matter if he's left handed if it isn't the same guy?

1140
Just because it would take more than launch/price info doesn't mean its impossible. I could compile a list of bullet points of what Nintendo could/should have done differently that would have satisfied 99.9% of gamers. Reggie thinks its impossible, but I don't.

How's your multi-billion dollar video game development company going?

I don't have one... but you know who else doesn't have one? Reggie. He's just a "yes man" and he only runs NOA. He's subordinate to Iwata, and even Iwata isn't the one who put the company on the map. That was the great Yamauchi. Reggie is just some little piss ant compared to Yamauchi. Yamauchi did things right. He was the reason why I became a Nintendo fan.

Do I think I could do a better job than Yamauchi? Probably not. But could I do a better job than Reggie? Absolutely. I think most people on this board could do a better job than Reggie, and you know why? Because unlike Reggie we actually care about video games. Reggie doesn't care or have any passion or understanding about what he does. To him its just a job like Pizza Hut and VH1 before that. Tomorrow he might leave Nintendo and move on to something else... he has no loyalty or passion for Nintendo. He's just there for the pay check. He doesn't love what he does. He may have a degree in business or marketing or whatever and that's something most of us here probably don't have, but that doesn't make up for his lack of enthusiasm or understanding of the video game industry.
And you know Reggie so well that he's told you he has no love for Nintendo and it's just a paycheck to him?

I seem to recall in March or April (might have been May), Nintendo stated that they would not reveal the release date or price of the Wii U at E3.  If one thought that would actually happen after they said otherwise, that is on them.

I will say that this E3 was to get hype about the system to the mainstream media, not to gamers.  When one new game is showcased for the system that is a core gamer game (NSMBU is as much a core game as Wii Sports Resort, it's made to play casually with family members) and a bunch of ports from third parties (ZombiU being the one exception) and the rest of the games being casual faire, they were trying to get the mainstream media to hype the system with the moms and grandmas and casuals they lost to cell phones and tablets.

Gamers want games, not just Pikmin, despite Reggie's comments.  I don't think he was insulting gamers but if he thought that gamers only want Pikmin and nothing else, he's really not listening at all.

Really what gamers want is to know that the 3rd party games won't dry up after 2 years on the market.  Unfortunately, that is something Nintendo cannot answer as they do not have a crystal ball.  So really gamers won't be satisfied until they know the Wii U will continue to get the majority of 3rd party games in 2013 as well as 2014 and 2015 and through until 2018 when the next Wii is released.

Not being knowledgeable about the game programming aspects of this, if they decided to continue with the skyward sword controls, would it be that great a challenge for them to program link to be able to hold the sword in either hand, and then when you're creating a new game, have a quick question of "Left or right handed?"?
 
I mean, they do it in Wii Sports Resort.
This makes so much sense, I bet they'll never do it.  The problem I think is the programming.  With TP, they just mirrored the entire thing so it didn't involve doing much different in the programming.  With having an option, I wouldn't be surprised if both hands require completely different programming and would increase the dev time by a huge amount.
It seems like the smart thing to do though.

Not really a rumored but wanted tl get everyones thoughts on the NFC.

For those who don't know what NFC is.

 http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/10/engadget-primed-what-is-nfc-and-why-do-we-care/

Its probably one of the reasons I'm excited about the wii U.
FYI, there is a thread here pertaining to NFC.  It was specifically made for Smash Bros but it's a better place to discuss NFC, or you can create your own thread about NFC only.

Pretty sure even M$ was planning to lose money on its first two versions of the Xbox.  When they started actually making money (not enough to make up for the billions lost during the first Xbox era and the first couple of years of the 360), they probably changed their strategy.  I would not be surprised if the nexbox ends up being either sold for a minimal loss or even a slight profit.  They got a taste of making money in this industry and they don't want to give that up.  All three systems will end up being close a la the PS2/Xbox/GCN era.   It'll really be the gimmicks that each system brings that will decide who wins this next gen.  Either the gamepad will sell the Wii U or the Kinect 2/Smart Glass thingy will sell the 420 or whatever Sony steals from others will sell the PSOrbis.

Watch Dogs was the GTA like game?

There was a GTA like game next to the Capcom booth at E3, I think it was what became of True Crime Tokyo. Insano, do you know what game im talking about?
Watch Dogs is the one where you have your phone/pda that can hack into anything electronic and either manipulate it (controlling traffic signals) or find out info about people.  It looked like it would be a sandbox type open world game just with the hacking gimmick added in. 

Yeah, I remember the trailer for that game now. Was that playable at E3?

Is it weird that im asking all of you, while I was the one that was actually there?
I know that at the Ubisoft presser when they were showcasing it, they were playing it from onstage.  So it could very well have been playable.  Did you go to the Ubisoft booth?

DD was a great game to play with Non-Gamers.

But that's exactly the same reason I really dig MK Wii. I can hand my dad the Wii Wheel, and we can race as a team so it's our collective performance that wins the day. I'll even drive  BEHIND my dad as his sort of "wing man" to fire red shells at anyone who threatens to pass him.
Wait, but in DD you actually could be the wing man and your dad could drive while you shot the shells.

Welp, Nintendo just made enough money to last through the Wii U era. :P
Pretty much.  I am wondering how many 3DS LL's will sell in its first week on sale.

I agree. I also agree with whoever said it that the N64 may still be the best console for local multiplayer to this day.
I'll agree with this as well.  Though the Wii definitely is giving it a run for its money.  My wife and I have played more games together on the Wii than any other system (though we were married in 2006 so that probably has a little something to do with it :P: ).

Or the Spanish Inquisition, nobody would see that coming.
Or expect it.
