The franchises they worked on turned out to be great games, Zelda could be the next.
They already helped in Mario Kart 7, so who`s to say they won`t handle a bigger franchise? Who knows... they could even develop a New The Legend of Zelda game. That i would like to see from them!

Yeah, I'd say they desevre to take on a bigger franchise! They've done really, really good! I'm also excited for Monoliths new game! Could we perhaps see it this e3 already?!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Could be a good Disaster: Day of Crisis, as i`m not a fan of RPGs.
They are already developing that game for 3DS from Namco, Sega and Capcom, so i don`t think their other game or games are going to show up soon. Of course, it also depends on how many resources are behind that game. My bet is, if it shown this year, nintendo will probably keep it for a more japanese oriented audience like TGS or Nintendo Direct.

Oh but wait! I've got good news for you! More Wii U lineup. 

Part of Ubisoft's success is expected to come from Nintendo's Wii U, launching at the end of this year. Ubisoft is a very strong supporter and is quite bullish on Wii U. The company will have five casual titles and two core titles. Guillemot pointed to the Avengers game slated for Wii U (and Kinect) as a title that should do very well with the casual market.

I wonder if Rayman Legends is what they count as 'core'? We know one will be Ass Creed III. 

Gotta love Ubisoft for bringing a solid 3rd party support to the WiiU! AC3 looks great, Rayman Legends will rock, and Just Dance 3 (or is it 4?!) will sell like hot cake!!

Yeh I've always respected how Ubisoft supports new systems on release, I like them more than most other big publisher/developers. 

 

Anyway, here's a scan of EX Troopers:

 

What it sounds like is a more kawaii uguu~~~ version of Lost Planet, which I think could be very interesting if handled correctly. Sort of like Valkyria Chronicles with the 'young soldier joins a cutesy war and meets friends at the academy' approach. Interested.

You said it! Out of EA, Activision (excluding Blizzard here) and K2 - I think I like Ubi the best

But Monoliths had 2 years almost making a new game... It's time to show what they've been working on since Xenoblade!! Rumors have it it's a WiiU game =D

Amazon Lists Wii U Games For $49.99

Posted on May 16, 2012 by sickr

 

Popular online retailer Amazon is currently listing Wii U games at $49.99. That’s roughly ten dollars cheaper than rival games on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which generally appear to retail for $59.99. It would be extremely interesting if Nintendo decided to price Wii U games ten dollars cheaper than the same games on rival formats. I’m sure more will be revealed at E3 next month


very interesting.  seeing as it is pretty much a gaurentee that a portion of the $10 is coming directly out of the pockets of the dev/publisher i wonder if publishers will simply not support the wii U with multiplats.

Damn it! Just when I thought the Game Card Case was never going to be available again from Club Nintendo and ordered one from Amazon!

Still ordering before it disappears again but damn...

Very interesting. The fact that $50 is on par for PC games and Publishers support of that suggests Nintendo can get away with it too. Besides, Nintendo is throwing them a bone with same-price downloads anyway.

Nintendo Applies for Patent on Wii U Golf Tech

"Remember Nintendo's bold new vision for sports games on Wii U, shown off at E3 last year? It's dead serious about making it a reality, applying for a patent on its concept for golf."


I'm buying the wii u for this kind of things. And Mario. And Zelda. And... well, Nintendo.

Yeah, that's why I love Nintendo =) They always bring something new each generation (well, maybe except the GC), pushing the limits, not only for what can be done in/for games, but just as much OUR preception of what gaming can be!

how is this more than a gimmick in this case? I agree it looks cool but where does it affect the gameplay?


Good Gimmicks are good, bad gimmicks are bad. This looks cool to play with.

Don't know why the word got such a bad reputation.

Because if you read the dictionary definition of gimmick, it says it's something that seems appealing at first but quickly turns out to be useless. That's why.



NINTENDO

nintendo forever . . .

Yeah, the game is almost 2 years old.
I just hope that developing Project X and the rumoured game doesn`t mean they will need more than two years to finish both games. It seems this time they really got their hands full! :D
