How much do we know about the gameplay in Wonderful 101, anyways? That trailer they showed back when they announced the title made it look like Pikmin with superheroes but there must be more to it than that.

I figure the Nintendo Network logo probably just signifies DLC support, but we still know so little about the game that it could mean anything, really.

I don't like how little we know about the game. Typically when a company releases as little information such as this it is a direct guage of the confidence the company has in the title ...

Take Luigi's Mansion 2, for example - they announced it at E3 2010 but didn't mention it even had a multiplayer mode until the beginning of this year. Same deal with Kid Icarus Uprising - they announced it at E3 and barely talked to it until a few months from release, when they were all "oh yeah, the game has a hundred billion weapons and an adaptive difficulty system and online multiplayer", and even then they deliberately downplayed the amount of content the game truly contained.

Aside from that they're not doing much of anything to hype it up outside the Directs.. which seems to be the case for anything Nintendo specific these days.

That loving Sned posted:Amazon's selling a Gamecube to Classic Controller adapter, so I'm thinking of getting one for the games that support the Classic Controller but not the Gamecube Controller. Be warned, I just got one of those in, and if you use it in a Wiimote that has WiiMotionPlus built in, then it spazzes out whenever you hold start. It works fine on my older Wiimotes though. I think the key is to use it on the ones that don't have an exposed sync button, dunno if there are any regular Wiimotes like that or not.

Kid Icarus was basically done like six months prior to release in North America. Nintendo's secrecy about the game would be legendary if it wasn't just the usual antics they get up to. Their marketing basically showed nothing from the single player of the game past the boss battle against Medusa. If there hadn't been Japanese guides released that showed art of the real last boss of the game, I'm pretty sure they would have blindsided everyone perfectly with just how long the campaign really was. Even then, the Japanese guide was left deliberately incomplete in certain places. I think most hardware/software developers would kill to have the sort of internal security and secrecy Nintendo has.

I think Nintendo's "We must not show any of our games til the last minute and reveal no details, or people will steal OUR SECRETS!" attitude has become especially paranoid and counterproductive in the past couple of years.

Being unwilling to promote things until they're ready to sell them is one of the few marketing things that Nintendo does right.

All of a sudden while playing MH3U online, my Wii U loses connection to the router. This has never happened to me before with my normal Wii and it refused to connect to the router, but still detected it just fine so I'm guessing it wasn't the antenna that died. I followed this guide here (http://kotaku.com/couldnt-they-just-have-avoided-this-issue-entirely-by-a-454556854) and now my Wii U can connect to my router again, but still won't connect to the internet. Has anyone else had this problem just pop up on them like this? The oddest thing is that everything worked perfectly fine and suddenly bam, no internet, for absolutely no reason.

When the U was first released it had major, major issues connecting to WiFi after the first patch. I ended up setting up the connection manually rather than letting it find the connection. Not only did that work perfectly at the time, but it has not disconnected or had an issue once since.

That just got it to connect to the router again. It still can't get onto the internet and I have no idea why. It's frustrating as hell because it literally just stopped working for absolutely no reason. As far as I know the Wii U wasn't updating while I was playing the game online. The router firmware was last updated in January. Nothing changed! It just stopped working, kicking me out of my friend's game, and now I'm just trying every solution I can find to get back online but nothing's working.

WiiU might not be clearing stuff with the new "suspend" mode or whatever instead of full off. Try unplugged it from the wall for a few minutes and see if it works after plugging it back in. If it does you likely hit a bug in the game and/or wiiU OS and it wasn't clearing on reset, or your wiiU has a bad capacitor and should be replaced. If that doesn't work I have no idea call Nintendo they probably have a check list that if you go through they'll just replace your wiiU.

Didn't see this posted here yet, but I do tend to gloss over the "WiiU is doooomed" discussion. After all the poo poo that's been said about the WiiU and Nintendo recently it's nice to see they still have a friend in Ubisoft  It seems like they are the only big publisher that's putting any sort of faith into the console.

Konami is a useful developer to have, if only to keep my hopes up that there will finally be a full-fledged Metal Gear Solid game appearing on a home console someday. Twin Snakes barely counts since it was sort of an outsourced thing, even if the project was a fantastic thing to have on the Gamecube. I vaguely recall Kojima saying something about how a Metal Gear for Wii-U would have to be something developed especially for the system.

I wouldn't be surprised if they see it as an excuse to not have to spend money upgrading the series to next gen consoles, Monster Hunter games always seem very low effort. Keep it low cost and somewhat niche instead of being expected to go all out.

Keep it low cost and somewhat niche instead of being expected to go all out. Next Monster hunter allows you to climb all of the monsters like SOTC. You can even jump on the smaller ones and beat them up too. So Capcom is going to have to upgrade the existing models because they would not have the different helpers linked to the current rig, it's also way more man hours to fix and tune and existing model than just redoing it from the ground up to add the different damage points.

Wii U MH is just an upscaled 3DS port, chances are it didn't cost them much plus I don't think MH sells a bunch in the US.

Let the whiners take off the blue shell in races. They'll be happier than pigs in poo poo. Same goes with track selection. Let people choose their tracks if they want. I'd also like for none of the new items or tracks from MK7 to return, but that's not gonna happen.
