Geno and Isaac is my guess. Capcom seems intent on trolling the fans hard with this Mega Man business. I bet if they do put him in it will be the Captain N version. Then again, Sakurai has been known to tell some tall tales (no clones?), so maybe none of them are in.

I saw the character thing this morning but I didn't know if it was worth sharing. I think it'll be Geno and Isaac.

I'm liking that the price of the Wii U is said to be under £300. What do the specs mean in plain English? Am I going to be seeing graphics from a Pixar film or similar to FF7: Advent Children? Will it be possible to have Hyrules map size put Red Dead Redemptions map to shame?

Thinking they might put in Waluigi to partner with Wario in SSB.

I read somewhere today that Sakurai said this Smash Bros would go in a different direction or something. People are wondering what that might mean.
3D fighting area? Focus on tag matches?

It'll never happen but how cool would it be if they had Smash Bros be a launch title and, through out the life span of the Wii U, new characters would be added by you purchasing and meeting certain requirements in a game?
You buy The next Zelda game for Wii U, 2 years after Smash Bros has launched. You defeat the new arch enemy and get a message after the credits "Congratulations! *arch enemy name* has been added to Smash Bros!"

It's doable. Just have compatible games house the character data on the disc and, when the requirements are met, the game scans for a Smash save and unlocks the character by downloading it to the Wii U, like 360 games do with avatar awards.
It would keep the game fresh. Plus I'm sure a few people may be persuaded to pick up a new game if they knew it would unlock a character and/or stage for Smash Bros.

Assuming those specs are real, something able to use the Unreal 4 Engine or at least be able to have a modified one like how the Xbox 360 and PS3 were able to have modified Unreal 3 engines.

In terms of RAM alone, its about 4x more than the Xbox 360 and the OS alone might have more than the Xbox 360's dedicated combined. PS3 has less dedicated than the Xbox 360 due to the way it splits its RAM. Graphics-wise, no upscaling needed to reach 720 or even 1080 since it supports 1080 by default (ex. Halo Reach was around the 600s range before it got upscaled to 720).

If that Valve rumor is true, then Steam integration similar to the PS3 and would confirm earlier rumors of Nintendo getting Valve (or EA) helping them out with the Nintendo Network.

The formatting on the youtube and crackle apps could use a tiny bit of work. Daily motion kinda sucks outright. Netflix is decent, but a rogue gust of wind will kill my connection to it. And yeah, every app pretty much needs a giant update as soon as I d/l it. Seems like they're worried about releasing a patch that breaks more than it fixes, so they make you d/l the original just in case.

Trying something new with the format

Daily Recap:
1)THQ to split its stock to prevent being delisted on NASDAQ next month
2)Sony holding an "Ultimate Editions" sale for digital PS3 games on PSN this week
3)Konami releases screens for the Zone of the Enders HD set (not the new game in development)
_________________________________________________________________

A sequel to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was in development by 38 Studios before its finical problems crippled the company and their subsidiary studio of Big Huge Games.

The sequel would have been developed by Big Huge Games studio. Very few details were revealed but Big Head Games would have been the developers, the game itself was in pre-production stage, and the basis for new features were to be based on complaints generated by reviews from the first game.

Quote:
Joystiq’s sources say that “elements tested for the sequel were higher graphics quality across the board, no loading screens between zones, expanded and improved combat animations, fewer branching quests and greater effect on the world by players.”
As of now 38 Studios still owns rights to the cancelled project and series but is expected to hand over the rights to the government of Rhode Island as part of its bankruptcy requirements. EA is rumored to be ready to purchase the series once the government of RI opens up bidding for the property.

The fallout from 38 Studios collapse continues to get ugly as recently the founder of the company, Curt Schilling places the main blame of the studio's demise on the governor of Rhode Island and the loss of a private investor.

According to Schilling, the studio had initially secured a $35 million deal with a undisclosed private investor who was ready to help fund the sequel to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning but later backed out once the governor of Rhode Island publicly stated the studio was fighting to stay afloat.

38 Studios was extremely upset at the statement being made public since it ruined all future investment in the company and caused several of their existing investors and EA to halt their support of the company.

Schilling was also upset at the current governor renegading on the contract signed by the previous governor to get 38 Studios to operate in Rhode Island. The issue involved the ability to temporary defer on tax payments owed and keep earning tax credits by hiring people in the state to work at 38 Studios.

The government of Rhode Island was mainly upset at the lack of hiring as part of the deal with most of the employees and hired workers being transferees from the Massachusetts branch. As well as questions regarding how most of the original $75 million loan was spent with some of the spending ending up being unaccounted for in status reports.


EDIT: Some supposed details from a variety of places state 38 Studios was spending a huge chunk of the loaned money on a different project (Copernicus) instead of Kingdoms of Amalur without telling the state which is why the money was "missing" from status reports. EA also flat out refused to publish and fund a sequel well before the public announcement by the governor was made. EA also seems to have very little interest in buying the IP once its available for sale.

I hope that Lord of Shadows sequel makes it's way to the PS3 and 360. Makes no sense to go from a platform to a handheld.

It is considering the 3DS one isn't a direct sequel but more of a prequel to Lord of Shadows 2 on consoles in terms of story. Its also supposed to be in the same 2D style the GBA and DS Castlevania games were.

The Epic/Silicon Knights saga is finally over with Epic laying a $4.5mil smackdown on them after the judge sided with them on all counts.

Update to the rumors of Battlefield 3 getting its own "Call of Duty Elite" type service as a supposed spec sheet detailing all the content provided by the service was leaked today.

EA will make an official announcement on June 4th on the official Battlefield website with an expected actual release date to occur later in the month.

According to the sheet, Premium users will have early access to 5 more DLC packs planned, exclusive in-game access to weapons and bonuses, the ability to reset their leaderboard stats, preference in server queues for matches in any match they are waiting for, and a bunch of other benefits.

It really is awesome. I find it weird EA doesn't want KoA, since they were reportedly pleased with Rectuming's sales.

Someone will pick Amalur up. They would be fools not to. I surmise a new studio with a big chunk of the 38 studios/Big Huge Games staff will be up and running in a few months.

As long as Activision doesn't get it, I'm cool.

With all the bad press here, I'm not sure they would be fools not to.

Okay, I love the game, I love the fact that we finally have a fantasy world that's not an MMO and not smeared in dark, gritty shit, and I like the guys they got behind it.

But with this shitstorm, I don't think anyone's gonna see the forest for the controversy.

Every time they've tried to make a fighter that wasn't Mortal Kombat, they've failed pretty hard. Hell, half the time they make MK games, they fail.

The classic Spy Hunter is getting another reboot attempt with a release planned for later this year.

The game is being developed for the 3DS and PS Vita by Warner Bros Interactive and developers TT Fusion who previously worked on the handheld Lego series of games.

Quote:
The premise of the game is more or less what it sounds like: you're a spy and a hunter. As the Agent, your mission is to stop bad guys and protect civilians. Your method of doing so is a super vehicle that you race around in, destroying enemies' vehicles.

Your car, this time, is the G-6155 Interceptor, which is designed to "seamlessly transform from supercar to off-road assault vehicle to speed boat, allowing players to go where they like within the game's branching mission tracks." Players earn the ability to upgrade the Interceptor's various weapons and gadgets over the course of play.
No other details were announced but its expected to occur at this year's E3.

Probably for the best anyway. It'd be 2000 USD and you'd have to replace it every year.
