Not to mention, but isn't that an oxymoron as well. "Nintendo will show new 5 year old tech hardware!" Lol
How does this guy begin to explain that?
Listen i'm a ps3 owner as well! I know ignorance is bliss, but in no way shape or form do I think that they are going to dominate the media at e3. (And that's what e3 is people a media convention for gamers.) It's just the blind leading the blind to think this. Even with Sony making the announcement of showing 20 new gameplay experiences, all anyone seems to speculate about is the WiiU, and this is with hardly any concrete information being known about this device as of yet. So if...
You guys all act like he's making this game exclusively for the WiiU. It's coming for the PS3&360 as well, so why would he only be praising the game just to get sales when there's a great chance that its gonna sell boat loads more on ps3/360 anyways. Doesn't make much sense to me!
Not only Randy, but other developers have come forth praising the WiiU so what are peoples views on those comments? Crytek isn't even making a WiiU game at this point and they've ...
@xenomorph: he calls him a troll, because the topic of the article isn't who wants to buy a WiiU or what would make you buy a WiiU! Its just about the controller and it now featuring analogue sticks instead of slide pads. That's what gets old is people on this site not coming in a providing an opinion of the topic at hand, but usually just blatant in throwing comments out of how the WiiU will suck and fail. And i'm not sure of your comparison earlier with the Vita. It clearly look...
I'm thinking that the square under the d-pad is some form of the Vitality sensor. This controller has everything else thrown in it, why wouldn't Nintendo include that for good measure as well. I have high hopes for technology like that some day. Just imagine that before you go through the next corridor, the controller is taking your pulse and could determine whether it's 25 or 100 villians on the other end. What if AI was being influenced by measurements taken in just from the con...
@MySwordIsHeavenly: Boy do people read into whatever they want, because he didn't even say that. He just stated that what was claimed to be innovative by Sony was already inroduced by someone else. And in no way shape or form was the rumble feature and Dual Shock introduced at the same time. The Rumble Pak launched in Japan April of 1997 and Dual Shock didn't release until later that year! And Mario has been anything but hit or miss. The games always score very high in reviews and ar...
@crXss: there aren't many shots of that angle of the controller, but it does have analogue triggers though! It has buttons and analogue triggers, pretty much everything one needs in a controller.
I think they are clickable, and the +&- buttons being closer to x/y/b/a might make for easier useage in a fighting game if need be. Definitely looks like a possible final design, seeing as how none of the mock ups before had the WiiU logo stamped on it.
They aren't sparing any expense for what this controller will be able to do that's for sure!
I think at Nintendo's press conference, they should just pull out AK47's and go run & gun style on the Sony and Microsoft execs in their respective booths. So then we'll all know that at least it was a hardcore showing for you guys here!
Then they could claim that it was all a result of some new VR feature imbedded into the WiiU controller that made them go ape-sh*t... lol
@arbitor365: Dude you are reaching way to hard man... You were probably one of the first people bragging about using the rear touch screen for the PSVita's version of Uncharted. And that's still a hard core game right and it uses a touchscreen, case in point! Your argument sounds unjustified because the WiiU has all of the main buttons and controls as a dual shock 3. So what would one need with a classic controller for? If you don't want to play the WiiU version with the WiiTab, t...
I have a simply solution, if you don't like the positive news then don't click on the article. Because the most likely scenario is, that you're gonna be offended. And If you don't like the WiiU or Nintendo games then don't buy the system... I promise you that you aren't hurting Nintendo by coming in here saying that the WiiU sucks or the controller sucks. They are a multi billion dollar corporation and could care less, of what you think about a controller that you'...
@Clemins50: I think it's funny that you state no one cares about WiiU specs. Because that's been the basis of every negative WiiU article on N4G. So you must be new to this site or something... stick around for a day, you'll learn quick enough!
You should get a discount if you purchase both games for both devices!
Well they do but they don't! Because both companies want the same things with their hardware and that's to reach a massmarket appeal and have something for everyone. Nintendo knows that they must appeal to both the core and casual audience without alienating one over the other, but only Sony so far has achieved this with the PS2. That system had the perfect ballance of casual & core gaming experiences and every company, even Sony wants to achieve that level of success once again. ...
I think Raiden from Metal Gear and Dante from DMC would be really good fits for this game. Or even if they could get Altair or Ezio would be pretty neat as well!
I know most here think that UE4 is the target of the PS4&Durango. But Epic has spent quite a bit of time consulting Nintendo on the credentials of what the WiiU should be capable of. That leads me to believe that the WiiU will be the console in which this engine debuts on in June! Of course the engine will be available on PS4 & Durango when those systems launch and no doubtedly look better on those respective systems. But if Nintendo can have such an announcement ready at E3 for the W...
To be honest I would love for this next gen to be both Sony and Nintendo's last individual consoles that they make. These two Japanese companies are in the same market and could do some really amazing things united under one goal. This next generation is going to be even more polarizing than the current one is, since all 3 next gen consoles will be capable of HD visuals.
I could see a very Massive StarFox game! Metroid's worlds consist mostly of compact, corridor shooting envirionments. So with StarFox having flight and vehicle elements in it, this series could be a very good staple to show what the WiiU can really do graphically.
But as an argument against what you've stated. The reason why they would agree to something like a timed exclusive, could be because there's just not alot of competition on a brand new console. If the game really looks that good on WiiU, then why not release it there first to get some press and hype going for it, before it hits the other consoles. I agree that on the ps3&360, this game might be over shadowed by even larger titles such as Halo 4 or GoW. But then again, most people ...
