Hopefully they release it in September! I need birthday money for it!

About Wii U release: Unless we see a Wii U release on Japan sooner to take advantage of Dragon Quest X and than comes at September/October a release date for the States and Europe!

That "some time after E3" is just too weird to be nothing of importance... more, some news other day was talking on how crunch time for a Retro project would be eased with some DVDs someone brought in. Well, according to the site who published that, crunch time, means the final times of the development of a game. Seems to point late summer release date at tops, doesn`t it?

Very nice thread. I can't wait for Wii U and I can't wait to see what Nintendo Network is! Definetly picking up Mutant Mudds and Sakura Samurai. The demo for Resident Evil was pretty good, can't wait to test it out with my Circle Pad Pro soon. Also can't wait for the Metal Gear Solid 3 demo, should be coming out later this month cause it comes out on the 27th. I think I need a bigger SD card now that I only have about 10,000 blocks left... Mutant Mudds and Sakura Samurai is going to take nearly 30 percent of that and I don't know about the other demos. Does anybody know if I can just store all of my data on my computer and then put it on my new SD card?

That is a really good question! Someone was talking about that the other day. May have either been D21Lewis or Smeags.

 

So as to not over post.

Kid Icarus: Uprising - 3D Classics: Kid Icarus preorder bonus - participating retailers

Jan 20, 2012 by RawmeatCowboy

Yesterday we noted that Nintendo would be offering 3D Classics: Kid Icarus as a preorder bonus to those that pick up Kid Icarus: Uprising. What we didn't know was the retailers that would be participating. Now we've learned that GameStop, Best Buy and Amazon will all offer you the free download code to grab the eShop bonus.

Hope Capcom does not more "test" games for the WiiU (like both Chronicles). Altough very good on-rails experiences, I would like a game more in the line of Revelations (Jill part - demo).

I don't mind if RE6 won't come to WiiU.

Capcom details Resident Evil: Revelations development, had Resident Evil 5 running on 3DS

Jan 20, 2012 by RawmeatCowboy
The following information comes from an Iwata Asks feature with producer, Masachika Kawata...

- the idea for a Resident Evil on 3DS came to Kawata once learning about the 3DS at E3 2010
- Revelations focuses on fear due to the love that fans have for the RE remake on GameCube
- the dev team started with The Mercenaries to build up experience on the platform
- the team also got Resident Evil 5 up and running on 3DS
- Revelations was then developed alongside Mercenaries to share info between the two teams
- this is the first time a Resident Evil game has had a Japanese voice track
- the decision was made because the team wanted Revelations to feel like a foreign TV drama
- the game is split up into 12 chapters
- there are several scenes ending with cliffhangers
- events aren’t always depicted in chronological order
- features reoccurring theme music
- music for the game was recorded using orchestrated instruments, with a focus on piano
- Raid Mode was inspired by watching the Monster Hunter team
- the staff that worked on fine-tuning Mercenaries 3D was called upon to develop Raid Mode

AWESOME Box Art! It's very colorful. Also going off the American Release for KI it seems Japan and America are only a day apart. That's good news

I hope that we get very few on rails games with the Wii U. That always upset me about the Wii that we got half games like that.

I'm sure there will be zero on-rails games in WiiU. But I can't guarantee about card games...

Resident Evil Card game - NintendoxCapcom

Wesker Vs Rebecca

Ada is the most powerful card.

 

Also, Iwata Asks for Revelations???
