I wonder what direction the new mario will be taken in.

Will it be a Galaxy 3 or something else? I feel like the whole Galaxy thing cant be topped so they might need to stick with something similar

I also think the Wii mote is going to be superior to the gamepad when it comes to 3d mario

I'm sure Galaxy can be topped, it just might be too out of the box for the series if they wanted to "top" it.

This thread has genuinely upset me. I am not upset with any of you. After all what would be the point, but you don't see what is really going on here. Your expectations for Nintendo have been reset to damn near rock bottom. These things aren't rumor worthy, or even hype worthy. These are things you should expect as a given, and things that you should expect much more out of.

The systems flagship title should be a massive leap over the previous installment. Show me a flagship title that isn't. Chats taking place inside the bubble, aren't going to create the market awareness that the product quite desperately needs. Given the current state of the library, the severe lack of third parties, and in game engine support. Mean you should be thrilled with whatever Retro has to offer.

Speaking as someone who has owned every Nintendo platform prior to the generation. Except for the Virtual Boy, and I doubt any of you will hold that against me. This is the absolute worst platform by far. As far as expectations of Nintendo are actually concerned. Guys start to stand up for yourselves. Don't just expect more from Nintendo. Start to demand more from them. It is time some of you start to get mad.

I would lambaste both Microsoft or Sony if the bar was getting set this low, or they behaved this badly. I don't blame any of you. After all you have to find something to talk about, but damn this is pissing me off. Fans and gamers alike should have ambitions. Beyond just matching low end expectations.

Your view that there is something wrong with people that are excited about these rumors is condecsending and sad.  I bought a Wii U because I loved Super Mario Galaxy and I'm very excited for its follow up.  Retro's track record is excellent so this title is also something to look forward to.

You're also wrong.  Nintendo is supporting Wii U in almost the same way as every other console it's released.  And Wii U has received the most AAA third party support of a Nintendo console since Gamecube, and probably since SNES.  The games support is far and away better than Wii, which had a port of GC Zelda and Wii Sports to start things off and 0 AAA 3rd party titles.  If you view this system as worse than older Nintendo systems, it's because your views have changed or because you memory is poor or clouded by nostalgia.

Nintendo has only released Nintendoland, NSMBU and Game & Wario for the Wii U. In the equivalent time for the Wii, they had released Wii Sports, Wii Play, LoZ:TP, WarioWare, Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 8, Big Brain Academy Wii, Pokemon Battle Revolution and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Definitely more content there, but not much high-end stuff.  If Pikmin3 and W101 hadn't been delayed, I would argue the 1st party support would have been superior for Wii U.  And I would call overall support much better when you factor 3rd party titles like COD, AC3, Batman, Trine2, ZombiU and so on.  Maybe Big Brain and Wii Play are considered major support by some, but I would hardly call Wii U dramatically worse than the early stuff on Wii.

I agree with you and the sentiment of your post.

But since last year's Nintendo E3 went from hypre train

 

to train wreck

 

This year I prefer to use one of this and be late, but safe

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.

@TheLastStarFighter

Please stop with the damage control. There is no spinning the situation. Seeing as another poster addressed the issue of first party support. I will limit myself to the issue of third party support. Which is virtually nonexistent now, and just wasn't really present at launch. The console got a slew of delayed ports, and the effort from developers, and the end results hardly qualify as being AAA in nature.

Well maybe Assassins Creed III, but that only counts if your only qualifier for the designation is development budget. It wasn't a commercial success, or a critical success either. Actually not a single third party game scored a nine out of ten or higher, and that is saying a lot, because some of them did accomplish such a feet with their original launch on one of the other consoles or both. That means they were made worse by being on the Wii U. Talk about ouch, but it gets even better or worse depending on your point of view.

Not one single game on the platform got a meta review score of nine out of ten or better. The console quite literally doesn't have a single AAA title to its credit third party or otherwise. Even the Wii managed to have one at the time of its launch. Worse yet this is supposed to be a next generation console. What is the justification for this console not having a single game that qualifies as next gen. Not a one, and it isn't like Nintendo didn't have a lot of time on its hands given how long ago it abandoned Wii title development.

There isn't any two ways about it. Nintendo is just abusing you, and your trust in them. I am not being condescending in the least. There isn't any sport to be had here, and there isn't anything amusing about the situation. It has gone way beyond that now. Even at its very blackest Vita owners never managed to get this apathetic about their platform, and I mean a lot of retailers don't even sell the device anymore.

You guys are just plain sliding. Yes you have every justifiable reason to be apathetic, but if you let yourselves go down that path. The Nintendo community on these forums is going to just evaporate. Last week you went through what has to have been your anger phase, and I think as a group you have zipped right past bargaining. At this rate in a month a lot of you are going to be talking about the Wii U in the past tense. You can acquit yourselves so much better then you are.



FPS? I wanted a third person action adventure but that sounds pretty awesome as well!

I call bullshit.

Super Sayans aren't going to be in Smash Bros.

But I do think Mario 3D will be huge. I am just not sure it will be shown at that E3.



what is with Monoltih Soft?? something smells fishy....why wouldn't they show anything from X or Bayonetta 2?

Even thought I think the WiiU has had a lack lustre beginning, there is a part of me that is intrigued by what a new Mario will be like on the system. The Retro game will be Starfox

A first person Star Fox game? No chance. Star Fox is a 3rd person series, not a 1st person one.


You can actually play Starfox 64 in 1st person but its not recomended


DO A BARREL --*Puke*

I think it'd be cool (if done right) to have kid Goku in SSB. I don't want Rare to work on another Metroid game, but this rumor makes me feel like that's what they're doing. I was really hoping we'd see an amazing new IP out of them. If any Nintendo studio can create a new magical IP, I feel like it would be them. They remind me a lot of Rare back in the N64 days..

 

Edit: Yup, misspelled the first "Retro" as "Rare." I guess that helps solidify the fact that I do indeed feel these companies are very similar. :P
