So what features and games do you think will be on this upcoming console?
----
== The new classic controller might be compatible with ''Brawl''. ==
* It's been confirmed that [[Game Cube]] games will be available for download on Virtual Console. Since [[Game Cube]] accessories aren't compatible with the Wii U, Nintendo needs to make a new classic controller with pressure-sensitive triggers to allow the full [[Game Cube]] controller functionality. We can infer that this controller will also be compatible with Super Smash Bros. 4, since Sakurai has made every conceivable control scheme compatible with ''Brawl'' (Wii Remote, Wii Remote + Nunchuck, Classic Controller Pro, and most importantly, [[Game Cube]] Controller). The catch is that ''Brawl'' is a ''Wii'' game, not a [[Game Cube]] game or a Wii U game, so there's no confirmation as to whether the new classic controller can be used with it. The controller will probably be plugged into the Wii U tablet, not the Wii Remote, so it wouldn't work the same way as the old classic controller. Therefore, there are at least two options for this to work out: 1. ''Brawl'' will be patched to be compatible with the Wii U classic controller. 2. The system treats the new classic controller just like any Wii controller, so it would already be fully compatible with ''Brawl''.
** Well this will cause some problems, because A. the new controller will probably be capable of playing the GC games with, since it has all the required buttons plus the bumper shoulder buttons like the gamecube. But if they release basically a new version of the classic controller which sounds like a touchscreenless/ir sensor/speaker/etc [[Wii U]] controller people will bitch to Nintendo saying why didn't they make the peripheral controller the new controller by default.
*** It's Nintendo. Of course gimmicks are their top priority.
== ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]] 2'' will be on this. ==
Line 23:
== A classic controller will be released at launch, much like the Wii classic controller. ==
* The tablet controller is clearly capable of playing the upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' installment, but to avoid alienating Melee and even Brawl veterans, they'd need to provide a more familiar controller. Specifically, one that wouldn't require your hands to be so far apart.
* Like with the Wii classic controller, different games will be compatible with different controllers; some will be tablet-only, and some will be tablet-or-classic.
** Problem here is the Wii Classic Controller was designed to make up for the lack of buttons/familiar layout on a Wiimote and Nunchuck that would really hobble Gamecube, N64 and SNES games. The [[Wii U]]'s tablet thing, however, ''has'' the traditional layout and buttons, i.e. 4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons, d-pad and two analogue sticks. There would be no need to make up for any perceived lack of control options, classic games would simply turn the screen off. Wii games may have this problem, but the promo material suggests that the [[Wii U]] is fully compatible with Wii hardware.
Line 36:
== If there is a classic controller, then most games after the initial debut will use it. ==
Handheld-system-as-console-controller has been tried before with the Gamecube + [[Game Boy Advance]] combo, and it is at least theoretically possible to use a [[
** This isn't a handheld system though, it doesn't do anything apart from the console.
Line 51:
== A new ''[[Wario Ware]]'' game will also be made. ==
* I'd love to see what Nintendo can do for new microgames.
== The ''[[Splatterhouse]]'' remake will be put on the Wii U. ==
Line 59:
== [[Kingdom Hearts]] III will be available through cross-platform for this console. ==
* I'm completely confident of this. First of all, Square Enix has a well-established game developing relationship with Nintendo. The upcoming Kingdom Hearts for the 3DS (which is a main, important title rather than a side-story) solidifies this. Second, Square Enix put Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360. If they're willing to give a not-Sony system something as important as a main Final Fantasy game, let alone on the Xbox, they'd surely do it for Nintendo. Third, Kingdom Hearts was never an extremely graphically-demanding game. Even though Sony will doubtfully come out with a more powerful system, it wouldn't mean much in competition to a Wii U version of Kingdom Hearts because 1080p is probably good enough to handle anything Square Enix would come up with. Lastly, the controller has really good potential for Kingdom Hearts, and RPGS in general. The large touch screen would allow the player to select battle commands very quickly, and maybe have the settings menu (items, stats, etc.) available to view with the same kind of ease. The touch screen would also allow commands that require special timing (reaction commands, pressing buttons on prompt, etc.) a new way to be executed by the player.
* There's a few problems with that theory: 1. It's ''Kingdom Hearts'', a series where ''every game'' is exclusive to one console. 2. There was ''a lot'' of [[Internet Backdraft]] from the Final Fantasy [[Fan Dumb]] when it was announced that [[Final Fantasy XIII|FF 13]] would be on the Xbox 360, which may have led to ''[[Final Fantasy Versus XIII]]'' to be [[
** Actually, in response to 1 and 2, not every game in the series is on one console, as [[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
*** Yes they are. He meant that every KH game has been an exclusive. Plus if
== Nintendo's answer to Achievements/Trophies will be.... ==
Its been revealed that Nintendo is [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|doing away with Friend Codes]] and adopting an account-based online system, and more than likely there will be some kind of achievement system. They will be called...
* Stars
** "Stars" seems unlikely given that Nintendo's existing loyalty programme already uses Stars.
* Medals
* Coins
Line 82:
== The controller for the Wii U is inspired by the U Draw Wiimote add-on ==
The add-on could be one of the design inspirations... [http://media.next-gen.biz/files/imagecache/article/Wii_U_Draw.jpg this picture confirms the resemblance.]{{Dead link}}
== ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' will be ported to the [[Wii U]]. ==
Considering the system's specs, and the series's generally greater success with the Nintendo consoles, it would make a lot of sense to bring it over eventually.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20150106122303/http://www.tssznews.com/2011/06/10/segas-pritchard-timing-just-doesnt-work-for-generations-on-wii-u/ They said no.] They said that they'd have to build the Wii U version from the ground up, not to mention that ''Generations'' comes out this Winter, whereas the Wii U launch is next year.
** [[Sarcasm Mode|Yes, because just porting a well-done anniversary game to a new Nintendo console]] [[Sonic Adventure Series|has worked out so badly for them in the past]].
** [[Shoot the Messenger|Don't quip at me. It's their word, not mine.]]
** [http://wiiu.nintendolife.com/news/2011/06/surprise_sega_bringing_high_definition_sonic_to_wii_u Shot down again.] Although there ''will'' be a new title for the console, just not ''Generations''.
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20150112050506/http://www.tssznews.com/2011/09/09/source-sonic-generations-under-internal-consideration-for-wii-u-ps-vita/ New info] states that the game ''is'' under consideration for both the Wii U and PS Vita, but ''only'' if sales for the PS360 version significantly exceed Sega's expectations. If this doesn't happen, the Wii U, at the very least, will get the secondary title also being worked on currently.
== ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' will not be ''directly'' ported to [[Wii U]]... ==
Line 98:
== The new Zelda game will be to the E3 tech demo what ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'' was to the Gamecube tech demo ==
Nintendo showed a quick tech demo at Spaceworld 2000 of a high quality battle between Link and Ganondorf, but later announced the cel-shaded game Wind Waker. The Zelda game for the Wii U will similarily feature a less photo-realistic Zelda game as its debut Zelda game.
* So the next Zelda game after [[Skyward Sword]] will be cel-shaded as well? ...You know, an HD Zelda with cel-shading might look [[Scenery Porn|pretty awesome]].
* Each tech demo consisted simply of ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[Twilight Princess]]'' graphics scaled-up for the succeeding console as a point of comparison. Nintendo has never been lazy enough to simply reuse the previous console's graphics for a game built from the ground up for the new console. The new game will probably feature a graphical style that is completely new for the franchise.
Line 119:
This would explain why ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' got the loudest applause when the 3rd-party game roster trailer was shown.
== The next ''[[Mario
Since the next ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' game is going to be for the 3DS, it's possible that Nintendo would switch around the two subseries as far as being on either the home console or handheld goes.
** It's highly unlikely that they're going to make a new ''Mario and Luigi'' game, since {{spoiler|Fawful died at the end of the third one}}.
Line 125:
== There will be a new ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' title for the [[Wii U]]. ==
It's perfect. They tried a home console version with the drawing being done via motion control, which in my opinion, sucks. But a system like this, with a much bigger touch screen, would essentially be superior to even the DS for a drawing game.
** That sounds iffy. Especially how the last game ended.
== The Wii U ''[[Metroid]]'' game will be simultaneously first-person ''and'' third-person. ==
Line 134:
== The wii U will be able to communicate with the 3Ds directly, both locally and online ==
Considering the added emphasis online play, imagine what a four swords or crystal chronicles game could be like if you could combine those two. The wii U controller could be used by a 5th player, or an opposing player, rather like a DM. Alternately, a 3ds pokemon game and a wii U pokemon stadium type game could be cross compatible, allowing you to challenge players on their handhelds from your console, or trade pokemon.
* This got pretty much confirmed by the announcement of the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' game being for both systems with interactivity between the two.
== [[Wii U]] is just a working title ==
Remember when the Ultra64, Dolphin or Revolution were announced? Remember how long those names stuck? Though this does point to the part codes being WIU, WEU or similar.
* But...the Wii U already had one working title-Project Cafe. It seems highly doubtful that Nintendo would give a console two working titles in a row.
* There are rumors going around that Nintendo really will change the name again, in order to distance the system from being unoriginal.
Line 145:
== There will be a [[Nintendo]] X [[Sega]] RPG as a new IP. ==
Since Nintendo and Sega might want to expand the horizons besides making a another ''[[Mario
* The Shining Force games were made by the group now known as Camelot Software and not with Sega anymore. Now the [[Valkyria Chronicles]] team...
** It still could work out either way.
Line 152:
* There's a touch screen on the controller, it's impossible ''not'' to take this route.
== Since it's not backward compatible with GameCube disks, GameCube games will be offered on the Wii U Virtual Console. ==
* Confirmed at this point.
Line 172:
== One of the Wii U's Mii games (a la [[Wii Sports]] and [[Wii Play]]) will be... ==
A fighting game. It will be a Smash Bros. clone, but with all the items and stages originating from the other various Mii games, with some original stuff. You'll be able to customize your character's movesets with attacks from the Smash Bros. games and give them different outfits, similarly to the [[Mario
* Either that or they could be playable in the upcoming [[Super Smash Bros.]] game itself, see that game's WMG for more details.
== [[wikipedia:Stage Debut|Stage Debut]] will be revived on Wii U... ==
