Wii Thread 4.0, WEEUWEEUWEEUWEE!

If they did that and maybe released them at a $40 price point then that might be acceptable but they just seem to be having this ridiculous disconnect with their fan base right now.

Nintendo’s Divided Divisions

Amazing how much Europe is now pwning America right now.

Gearbox Founder Labels Wii U a ‘Stop Gap’ Console

They still like the console

Nintendo Discusses Weak Wii Performance

Zelda is a system seller but It’s sitting in the midst of probably at least 10 other GOTY contenders and most of them are coming out on the other systems. shakes his head

Nintendo Willing to Invest to Get Third Party Support

Apparently they’re already working in collab with several third parties on titles. Sounds like a step in the right direction but we’ll see.

I’m sure if I need to get a new Wii or not.

Long story short…there was a power surge on one of the sockets, and it blew out the powerstrip which happened to house my TV, cable box, and Wii.
Apparently the TV and DVD are fine now, and the cable box is being replaced.

Does this mean I have to replace the entire Wii system…or can I just replace the AC adapter?
And if I have to replace the Wii entirely…do I lose all the games/points I have?

Did you unplug the AC adapter completely and then plug it back in to make sure? Wii’s AC adapter actually has a failsafe switch on the inside that tries to prevent the wii from surging. There’s a chance that there’s nothing wrong with anything at all. If you’re not getting any power to your Wii regardless you need to find another AC adapter to make sure if it’s the Wii or not. I’d tell you to go to a GS and ask them to help you out since I’ve done this plenty of times but I can’t guarantee that any GS employee would be as nice as I am.

New footage of Kirby Wii

mmyyeeesss…They show off a little bit of Dedede and Metaknight as well.

Edit:

Thinking back for a second about Nintendo doing collaborations with 3rd parties…I wonder if they ever even glanced at Platinum for Starfox…just a random completely hopless thought.

Nintendo Issued The Last Story Trademark in US

no confirmation of shit. They filed for this back in 2010 and are just now getting it.

Also entertaining related vid that’s only marred by the fact that he used VG Chartz

Nintendo: Why Won’t You Let Me Give You My Money?

Also Here’s June 2011’s NPD Data

Freakin Duke Nukem got second place which is pretty amazing…especially considering that Child of Eden and Shadows of the Damned uh…NOWHERE NEAR RANKED

Xb360 is steam rolling everything right now and almost beats out Wii and PS3’s number’s combined. 3DS is the lowest currently…Probably won’t see any significant growth in that until probably Sept.

Edit:

God man I wished Nintendo had announced that Wii U would upscale Wii games…








can it?? where did you get those pictures from?

Those screen shots are from the dolphin emulator. People post pictures from the games all the time in this gaf thread.

The Windwaker screenshots that get posted in that thread look so damn good.

1up actually did a write up on Dolphin Emulator that’s pretty interesting
http://www.1up.com/features/chances-play-mario-zelda-today

Really interesting that a lot of the games on the Gamecube apparently have higher quality samples of the textures that the Dolphin Emulator can actually use. Dolphin emulator isn’t completely perfect but Nintendo could use what the dolphin emulator does at least for backwards compatibility. I’m sure they won’t even consider it though.

Also…

mmmm…keep pouring on the salt

Xenoblade confirmed for Australia
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/27267

Grasshopper is working on a 3DS and a Wii U game.

Suda has also confirmed that No More Heroes for Wii U will be on the way

Edit:

Team Meat are making a game for Wii U

Edit 2:

Epic is actually interested in Wii U
http://www.industrygamers.com/news/epic-confirms-theyre-very-interested-in-wii-u/

whether they do anything is a different story.

No Wii U Price or Release Date This Year

I wouldn’t be surprised if they held everything back for E3. Also if you want to read the Q&A that they’re talking about then it’s here.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/110729qa/04.html

Bah! The only good reasons to own a Wii are Project:M, first party games and Sonic Colors.

Just making sure…but are you kidding?

Somewhat. I find I really only play Smash games and some other first party games and I’ve only been wanting Sonic Colors.

Wii is getting a version of Call of Duty: MW3 being developed by Treyarch. I have to say I’m kinda surprised as I thought for sure Wii wouldn’t see anything CoD related this year. No screen shots have been put up of it yet thought.

Kotaku Rumor: 4 more Nintendo selects in coming

Mario Strikers Charged, Punch-Out!!, Super Paper Mario, and Super Mario Galaxy in August.

IGN interviewed Reggie earlier about the 3DS and they asked him about the 'missing games’

Sooo let me get this straight in order for NOA to bring these games over…they have to first be successful in Europe where most of the people who want these games over here are going to import from after you told them in the first place ‘Sorry Guys! We’re gonna sit this one out!’. Okkkk…I see no flaw in this from a business standpoint whatsoever but sure whatever.

I don’t see the point of the redesign…but whatever.

That’s only for Europe aaaand it’s dumb because they’re taking the Gamecube functionality out of it but making them pay for the same thing.

Also IGN UK gave a Xenoblade Chronicles review

Only read if you feel like pouring more salt in the wound.

I’d wager the targets of Operation Rainfall will be for WiiU. The N’s gotta be hyping and baiting. Really though, the way most English dialogue is in games (especially voiced), I’d rather play it in Japanese.

It’s all about Operation Moonfall. :slight_smile:

Rumors surrounding Nintendo are starting to rear up.
http://wii.ign.com/articles/118/1189759p1.html

There’s possibly a big press conference Sept 13th. And it could be centered more so on recent 3DS rumors. I’m keeping expectations reeeally low.

Kirby Returns to Dreamland This October
