I got in as they spoke about the Winter Olympics. The Sonic thing seemed interesting but I'll wait for a trailer or something.
I always thought they should have called it "The Wonderful 100". It sounds much cooler than "one-oh-one", to me. |

The Japanese stream had Yakuza 1+2 HD for the Wii U as well. Damn, I really hope they bring that over here. Excellent games.

I didn't read the whole thread but if you bought a VC game on the Wii can you get it for free on the Wii U?

No but you have the choice of either playing the games in Wii Virtual mode or pay a discounted priced to upgrade the Wii version to a Wii U version with extra features.
Supposedly the reason besides double dipping by Nintendo is the rumors of them eventually dropping the old Wii system-based structure in favor of a unified account based system for the 3DS and Wii U later this year. |

I reckon it will just be in the time of the usual Nintendo conference. Those Sony/MS/Nintendo conferences are all classed as "pre-E3", since E3 isn't started until the floor opens.

EA backed off on the "no game development" for the Wii U as the company announced they are currently working on games for the console although it won't be as many games as they are focusing for the PS4 and Xbox One.
Being rumored Disney might have forced them to make at least Star Wars games since EA is in no position to break their terms unlike with FIFA and the NFL. http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/21/435...ng-wii-u-games According to a recent rumor, the Sega-Nintendo partnership might be a lot more deeper and an actual alliance than just a "3 game deal." http://www.tssznews.com/2013/05/20/r...endo-alliance/ Same source as the Sega-Nintendo alliance rumor also states they have all the details about what Nintendo will be showing off at E3. http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...intendo-lineup |

Nintendo states they are currently investing and researching into cloud computing but not for the current trend to just hold server or user data. Their goal is to expand the idea/concept where cloud computation would work together with the GPU and/or help cover things normally limited by the GPU.
http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=203490 For those interested, Capcom states Mega Man X will arrive on May 30th for the Wii U Virtual Console. $8 for the Wii U version or $1.50 if you currently own it for the Wii VC and upgrade it. http://www.screwattack.com/news/mega...sole-next-week The creator of Conkers Bad Fur Day states his studio (Gory Detail) currently has plans on developing a game for the Wii U with the studio itself recently placing orders for dev kits. http://www.destructoid.com/conker-s-...t-254564.phtml The exclusive Murphy levels the Wii U version of Rayman Legends was meant to have will no longer be exclusive after Ubisoft announces the PS Vita version will include those levels as well. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=203542 Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 05-27-2013 at 06:10 PM. |

Technically more of a Wii-related news piece but still available to do from the Wii U as well. The developer of Retro City Rampage is offering a deal involving buying an official merchandise shirt and in return you get the Wiiware version of the game as a free gift.

According to Aonuma, Nintendo is currently working on a few "unexpected elements" and surprises to appear in the upcoming Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U. Also teased some of the new changes and direction would be similar to what they have in store for Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past 2 for the 3DS.
http://www.officialnintendomagazine....ements-aonuma/ Sega revealed more details in regards to Sonic Lost World: Quote:
According to the developer of Project CARS, their goal is to provide a realistic racing game for the Wii U (and PC) similar to how Gran Turismo provides for the Playstation brand and Forza for the Xbox brand. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=204335 For those interested, the current 30 cents Virtual Console game promotion for this month is Yoshi from the NES. The offer won't start till next week but lasts from June 12 till July 11th. The Trine 2: Director's Cut was also revealed to be going on sale from its normal price to the current price of $9.99. http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-...p-255503.phtml |

According to SEGA, the reason why Sonic Lost World is a Wii U exclusive is due to Sega getting close to Nintendo over the past few years (good to great game sales) and the Gamepad gave them a lot of inspiration for ideas.
http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=205012 According to Nintendo, they managed to get over 1,000 indie and other 3rd party companies interested to work on eShop-related games ever since the launch of the new Web Framework dev kits. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=204999 They also stated the current plans for the Wii U is to use the same approach done with the 3DS to rebuild support and sales for the system. Just like the 3DS, the plans are for Nintendo to provide 1-2 big titles each month to help boost sales while 3rd party games try to provide extra sales and incentives. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=204997 5th Cell states the current plans for Scribblenauts Unmasked is to try to get as much of the DC Universe included for the game but could include DLC packs if they can't get some of the bigger stuff included in time. Quote:
EA has changes their official stance again in regards to the Wii U with the new stance being more of a "wait and see" approach. They are making games for the system but nothing shown at E3 is currently in development for the Wii U. Quote:
Miyamoto teasing he could work on a brand new Yoshi game in the future once the current development projects are done. Quote:
Ubisoft announced they are still committed to supporting the Wii U. Quote:
Nintendo announced they will be releasing a 1st party developed Free-to-Play game before March 2014 but gave no other details except saying its not Mario or Pokemon-based. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...re-march-2014/ Activision officially confirms Call of Duty Ghosts will be getting a Wii U version. The official reason why it wasn't initially was because Activision wanted to treated it as a "mystery" announcement. http://www.destructoid.com/activisio...u-256132.phtml Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 06-12-2013 at 05:56 PM. |

Aonuma revealed some plans and details for the Zelda series from a couple of recent interviews.
Wind Waker HD won't feature any new dungeons but is being tweaked to take advantage of both the Wii U and their original plans which were limited because of the Gamecube. Also confirmed the Triforce quest is being streamlined to be more enjoyable. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=205311 The Zelda Wii U project currently in development won't have "ultra realistic graphics" mainly because they don't feel it would be unique enough compared to other games. It won't be cartoony-realistic either like with recent games. Quote:
Future Zelda games could include DLC as a possibility but only if it can enhance the experience and not something just for the sake of having DLC. Quote:
In non-Zelda news, New Super Luigi U will have shorter but harder levels than New Super Mario Bros U had overall. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ups-challenge/ |

Nintendo revealed their upcoming free-to-play game is a new Steel Diver game. They are currently considering releasing a physical and digital version of the game, won't go overboard with the amount of microtransations in the game, and currently looking at it supporting 4-player multiplayer battles.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/...is-steel-diver Bayonetta 2 will support the ability to purchase weapons and abilities as DLC from the eShop. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=205609 Miyamoto recently stated the tools they developed and ported over for the Wii U in regards to the cell-shading style of Wind Waker HD is very likely to be used for different game in the future. Quote:
According to Ubisoft, the official reason why Rayman Legends went multi-platform at the last minute was them being worried about the low userbase for the Wii U. It also contradicts a previous reason given that stated it was due to PS3 and Xbox users being upset it was a Wii U exclusive. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=205604 http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/...ii-u-exclusive The director for Mario Kart 8, Hideki Konno, states Nintendo could be willing to make a new Ice Hockey game if enough fan interest occurs for it. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=205583 Activision back-tracks on confirming Call of Duty Ghosts for the Wii U and now says its likely the game will not have a Wii U version. http://www.destructoid.com/call-of-d...u-256482.phtml |

Probably only a matter of time before Nintendo goes after Ouya due to recent tweets from that company advertising the ability to play Nintendo games illegally on their system.
http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=206126 According to Nintendo of Japan, a special Pikmin 3 related Nintendo Direct is occurring tomorrow. The event starts around 7AM EST. According to sources close to Ubisoft, The Crew is very unlikely to have a Wii U version. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=206109 A few more details were revealed for Sonic Lost World with the biggest being the 3DS version will support online play while the Wii U is local only for multiplayer and co-op. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=206106 During an interview with Eurogamer, Bethesda states they are currently not developing anything for the Wii U with the official reason being they barely ever developed games for Nintendo systems and nothing tech or sales related. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ent-for-wii-u/ |
