Sonic, update us on the WII U. The E3 threads too hectic and I only really care about Nintendo.
I will when I get the chance. I just came back and it turns out the roundtable that’s going to be coming up in the next 11 min is actually going to focus on third parties. Whether they’ll talk about Wii U’s online in this roundtable or if there will be a 3rd roundtable remains to be seen.
Didn’t really get the information needed from the roundtable (surprise surprise) In fact Reggie apparently ninja vanished as soon as it came time for Q&A lmao. I think he’s still flustered about the Geoff interview but he’ll be aight. Any questiong aimed at specifics regarding Nintendo’s online were met with ‘no comment’ type answers. Reggie Reggie Reggie…you’re failing me man.
A lot of the things they discussed in the roundtable that Ubisoft was doing with Ghost Recon and Killer Freaks from Outer Space.

definitely not bad for being early in development.
Tomorrow I’ll try to gather up a bunch of stuff after I get off work…There were some soft announcements of games that should have been at least shown for a hot second like Rhythm Heaven, Kirby Wii and Mario Party 9.
Also watching people trying to waggle in Skyward Sword is fucking making me face palm.
Enemies: Alright I’m gonna block your sword high and low and leave my middle completely open ok?
Link: =D goes to town on the top sword that’s blocking
I also didn’t even realize that the girl :28 seconds into the E3 trailer for Skyward Sword was Zelda until someone mentioned it in a gameplay vid. I would never have known

No Xenoblade or Last Story this year makes me an angry and sad panda…I lost a good smidge of respect for Nintendo this week because of it.
depends on the publics interest in the games being launched with the Wii U, not the economy.
What Sexperienced said. I’m actually pretty much expecting the system to be at least $399.99. I already know I probably won’t be buying the system at launch…That is unless they actually come at this launch hard which I seriously doubt.
I’m thinking $349.99 myself.
Anyhow, Wii U has my interest. I really want to get my hands on that new controller; as odd as it looks something about screams that it will be comfortable. Oh, and for those interested, Ubisoft put up the video for their roundtable that happened the other night:
I was SO excited pre-launch and wanted to give Nintendo my money and soul, then so bummed after the fact. I just personally feel the system will be dated (again), rely on a gimmick third parties STILL won’t be that interested in during the long run, and they will just coast on the success of the Wii and the Nintendo name for as long as they can (More of a fact than an opinion, what with the Wii U name…)
I dunno, I’ll keep an eye out but I don’t expect much. Probably do what I did with my Wii: Wait for a nice collection of AAA Nintendo and some 3rd party titles to build up, wait for a price drop, then nab them all on the cheap.
Not sure if this has been posted yet.

well that answers that question. That might change as we progress to the launch but I’m not going to hold my breath on it.
Dragon Quest X is still coming to Wii

wow…when was the last time we heard anything about this game?
Edit: not like it really matters anyway since it probably won’t come over here. I seriously wanna just go into NOA and upend all of their tables right now.
GT has a small amount of footage from Nintendo’s first round table.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2011-nintendo/715957
shows some footage of Skyward Sword’s alternate dimension as well as more footage of some of it’s 3DS titles. I wish there was a video of the whole conference…hoping someone will put one up at some point.

Kirby Wii is the only game I care about right now.
Kirby Wii is basically the game I’ve been waiting for since Superstar. That’s the vibe I’m getting from these vids.

I only hope fighter, suplex and plasma make the cut for returning powers.
GT also put up a full video of the Zelda HD demo plays it in light, dark, and different angles.

I would fangasm if Fighter (my favorite power) made it back.
Any release date for Kirby Wii and Skyword Sword? I’m just going by usual Nintendo trickery and thinking it’ll be released along with the Wii U, and have a port of both titles on to that system meaning I have to wait longer.
I know they did that with Twilight princess, but have they done it with any other game?
Not really I just like to be dramatic, only other one I can think of is Capcom canceling the RE0 N64 title then bringing it back on to the Gamecube as part of their RE exclusive deal. Capcom does that stuff a lot though (GBC Resident Evil canceled, then a port found it’s way onto the DS).
They have already confirmed that Skyward Sword will be on the Wii only. I don’t think their is an official date other than ‘holiday 2011’. If I was to pick a month that Skyward Sword would likely be out though…I’d guess November. That’s the Wii’s biggest title right now so November would be right in their with the crowd of other games getting released right before the holidays. Still hoping they’ll do a LoZ bundle for the holidays.
Kirby Wii doesn’t have an official date either yet…I actually need to reprint my lists and see what the placeholder dates for both of those games are.
Just read this. Sounds like the Wii U is gonna have some real power, though who knows what kinda of power Sony and MS’s future consoles will have.
