If even half of that is true I'll be beside myself with excitement come E3.

- around 70 Wii U games are currently in development from a variety of publishers
- Nintendo will be publishing/releasing four Wii U games of their own before the end of 2012
- Nintendo has at least three new franchises in development for the Wii U, coming from various studios

...

WOW! O.O
That is the best rumor ever. It must be real... please... Let it be real. lol

I really like the Wii U. Still, I would really like a black model at launch. White is just meh... It doesn't fit in an entertainment center IMO.

And NOT glossy finish! Damn fingerprints on my PS3! D=

I don't know if I am in a position to post topics on your thread but go to gonintendo for some more news

Thanks dude, I really enjoy you guyz thread and for the record, you are doing a great job

"I like the Wii U. I think E3 will be a big eye-opener for people. I played Batman: Arkham City on the Wii U and they are doing some really cool stuff with the controller.

Do you remember the Zelda demo they had on it? Would you not buy a Wii U just to play that? Of course you would. That's what Nintendo is all about. Their hardware is the software delivery service for their great content. That Zelda demo was gorgeous and we can do even more than that with Unreal Engine 3. I think it will do great." - Epic's Mark Rein

Rein also went on to discuss Nintendo as a brand, his time spent with demos and his prediction of success.

"It's a great brand that a lot of parents really trust and they're probably ready to buy their kids an HD Wii that does that much more than just being an HD Wii. I'd love it if they'd done it last year, but I'm excited for them to do it this year. I'd be shocked if it doesn't do well.

Did you play that Battle Mii game? Two players would play with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk and one would play with the Wii U controller? I would buy a Wii U to play that game in a heartbeat. And I hope people make those kind of games with our technology. I think we've yet to really see what the Wii U can do and I think at E3 this year they're going to shock us."

Finally, when Rein was asked about Epic making a game for Wii U, he simply wouldn't confirm anything.

"If I had 10 development teams I'd make a game for every single platform and make that the special game for that platform. If you're the special game on that platform you do really, really well. Gears was one of the special ones on Xbox 360. Infinity Blade is a special game on the iPhone and iPad. Shadow Complex was a special game on Xbox Live Arcade. But we don't have 10 development teams so it's just a matter of picking and choosing what we do and doing the best thing we can for the idea that we have."

This is gonna be such an awesome E3! Even if only half the rumors are true, it'll still be epic!

Serioulsy, if MS and/or Sony is gonna have a half a chance on E3 this year they're gonna roll out some pretty heavy guns! They need to show new hardware and a couple of awesome games! This year is all ready Nintendos year!

Wait, are they working really on DirtU? I tought it was only a rumored game.
