they released them for GC, and what online stuff did you hear about?? I still would have liked for them to do it or at least address how powerful it would be. as for online, the only thing i got was Ninty land. What about friend codes?, acheivements, multiple accounts? cloud saving, cross game chat?, video chat?, we got no info on any of those. As for the games, i saw was alot of ports and a few originals, nothing in that line up got me excited, not a bad lineup but the games that interested me the most i already played or i could play, right now. So no, E3 didnt do what I wanted, thats just me |
I'm unaware they released them, but if they did, my apologies.
The online stuff was detailed in a pre-conference. It showed off the Miiverse, which is always online. It showed mobile phone connectivity. It confirmed video chat also. And new features, like 'forums' where you can discuss a certain game with anyone on the system, and post messages that will appear on anyone's WiiU homescreen. Also, it showed off other features, like the ability for messages to come up in-game. The example shown was the homescreen for NSMBU, where certain levels were warned about, and hints could be seen if you'd like. Finally, Friend codes were confirmed, but they are now changable and much simpler. I'd imagine a word or so, but I don't know. However, I don't recall seeing anything about multiple accounts or cloud saving, and 'accomplishments' were mentioned, but not confirmed.
And the games? Have you seen the lineup for the PS3 and 360 at launch? All ports, or yearly sequels for the most part. And not very good ports either. So if the Wii can have ZombiU, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, NSMBU and Nintendo Land, to name a few exclusives set for the system's launch, as well as all of the 3rd party ports seen (which I'm not interested in), and I'd suggest you're looking at a mighty fine launch for the system.
