More info on Zombi U: http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/wiiu/zombi-u Some cool things:
UNIQUE DEATH MECHANIC – If you die, you wake up to play an entirely new character who is another survivor in the same terrifying position. You will want to recover your old BOB, now worn by the last character you played…who is now a zombie!
*note: bob is "bug out bag" essentially your inventory
MERCY KILLER – When your character gets infected, your online friends are alerted of your death and can come and hunt down your zombified character to loot the gear in your BOB and put you out of your misery!
–--
I like the idea that dead means dead.
-
woo! a new wario ware game. They're always fun
-
Scribblenauts Unlimited is looking great so far.
The creation mechanic is really deep.
-
ok, scribblenauts creation engine looks really cool
-
So.. disappointment? Hype not met?
the hype never gets met because everyone hypes it up too much. A lot of people (not really here) were expecting a zelda u and smash bros details when there was a 1% chance of that happening
-
Oh shoot we're getting a demo of Elder Scrolls online!

O](http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/e3/live.html)h man we're looking at Daggerfall!
-
Wow, it's been in development since Oblivion came out basically?
-
-
Wow. Just saw most of the games shown at the conference. Why the fuck would Nintendo show Wii Fit at E3? Incredible.
Hype wasn't met obviously but I wasn't expecting Zelda or SSB yet I still feel a bit disappointed.
-
I wasn't expecting Zelda or SSB. (well. Kinda Zelda 3DS)
Was expecting to find out what Retro were up to. And what all the developers were doing. Considering rumours are that specs are better than PS3/360 I didn't really see anything for it
-
Guess Ubi won E3 after all lol. Pikmin 3 looks amazing tho.
Lackluster E3 overall. Watch Dogs and Pikmin 3 are the only titles revealed this E3 that I'm hyped for. And yeah, what about Retro? Thought they were showing something.. oh well.
-
Gameplay of Zombi U on Spike now!
-
I like this 'You just have one life' thing in Zombi U.
And somehow I guess there will be a trophy/achievement/something for playing the game with 1 character. -
No Checkpoints, not gameovers.
This is the ultimate zombie survival game.
I. Want. It. Now.
-
@Nex:
Gameplay of Zombi U on Spike now!
Wow this looks..intersting I need to see more but gameplay wise it looks like dead island.
-
That's it? Nooo! I want more!!
-
Nice to show a Zombie Infested Buckingham on the Queen's Jubilee XD
ROFL. Moleneux doesn't seem impressed at all by Fable.
-
My main problem is we still don't know a lot about the Wii U. They showed it last year and it just raised a ton of questions, and here we are, expecting them to fully answer then and then some but no, they just add more. It was a given they would win E3 yet somehow they managed to give first place to Ubi (I'm not that serious about who won E3, btw)
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
ROFL. Moleneux doesn't seem impressed at all by Fable.
He hates it and he hates Kinect. You do know he quit MS, right? He's tired of their Kinect-promoting bullshit.
-
Nintendo is going to be talking about specs soon. Apparently they just wanted to show games and not take time discussing hardware.
Anyway, it's official. Out of all the games coming to Wii U, oddly enough the one that I am most excited for is Zombi U, just because it's the first unique Zombie game we've gotten in who know how long.
-
Most excited for Pikmin. Then Zombie U. Then P100. Then Mario.
I'd be pretty damn excited for Mario actually if they didn't announce the 3DS one too.
-
So.. Who is going to get the WIIU at launch?
-
P100 looks like meh wtf is that. No thank you. Mario… ehh. I'll probably buy it at some point but it's just more rehashed NSMB.
Nintendo Japan has posted on Twitter that there's a price to pay if two Gamepads are active. Frame rates drop to about 30 fps if two are active; any games that really want that extra controller won't be quite as glass-smooth.
Oh and lol
I was going to get Wii U at launch either way. For sure, this conference won't bring in launch-buyers, though, that's for fucking sure.
-
I was planning on getting the WiiU on launch but with that … ZombiU, P100 and Pikmin3 are not enough yet.
-
So.. Who is going to get the WIIU at launch?
Unless it's in September (only due to too many figure merchandise that month) then likely I'll get it at launch. At the very least I want DarkSIDERS 2 (phew. missed that lil one) which I'm assuming will be a launch title, Zombie U and Mario too. And Pikmin 3 I expect to be out before christmas. And if need be I'll get the Wii U version of Ass-Creed.
-
I'm gonna be waiting a lot, nothing in that conference conviced me to buy the console at launch. I'll probably buy it at some point, if only for SSB4 (which I actually am sceptical about), but not anytime soon.
-
Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit but everywhere I go a lot of Nintendo fans seem underwhelmed and disappointed, some whining so much they supposedly had their hopes crushed, lol.
Overall I'm not, you know, gonna cry over this but I can't say I'm not disappointed.
-
The framerate hitch on the WiiU with two controllers really just means that the framerate will drop to the standard for console games. No big.
It is being reported that it takes 2.5 hours to charge for 3-5 hours of battery life. Not so good.

I guess most fans (and I'm counting me in with this) are disappointed that the conference didn't provided any new informations. Well, Pikmin 3 but that's it.
All the other stuff was known and I think that just pisses the people off. -
Apparently Wii U's controller takes 2.5 hours to charge and gives 3-5 hours playtime. Meh. Dunno if I'm a fan of that battery life. But I'm assuming there'll be an option to play connected to the console like the PS3 does.
-
At least you can get the hardware in black. I hate the white Wii lol
-
Lol at people expecting a new Zelda despite the fact that we got a new one just last year.
And Smash Bros. would be just unrealistic right now. The production time of the game hasn't even reached a full year yet.
-
Wait. Wasn't Valve supposed to count to 3 this year? Anyone know if anything was revealed for that?
-
So according to Spike's calender of events we'll be getting a look at Skyrim: Dawnguard at 1pm Pacific.
It'll be on the gametrailers website live streaming as Spikes coverage will end at that point.

spec sheet in japanese
[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2012/120606.html
a](http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2012/120606.html)nd seriously, where the fuck is retro? damn reggie.. my body is so totally not ready now.
-
Lego Lord of the Rings. Really Nice.
-
Apparently the specs are very similar to the XBOX360.
Officially completely underwhelmed.
-
Apparently Reggie said on GTTV that "their E3 showing, unlike the 3DS reveal at E3 2010, was focused only on launch-window software, which at least explains many of the first-party omissions."
Damn, really, tatermoog? That's fucking lame. And ninty fanboys better not give me the same ol' GRAPHICS DONT MATTER excuse. It's 2012, you're selling a console with specs similar to that of a 6 year old console. That's fucking ancient hardware by now.
edit: never mind. thanks urouge
-

Makes sense. It's Nintendo. We already know that Metroid, Smash, Zelda etc is coming so they don't need to show them.
-
Spec sheet in English:
http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32012/WiiU/FACT_WiiU_HW_E312.pdf
I have no idea how you can decide that's the same as the 360. For one, it uses a multicore processor.
-
damn. Watching the gametrailers website. Is this a reflection of how American TV is? 2 minutes of footage and then 5 minutes of adverts?
-
Makes sense. It's Nintendo. We already know that Metroid, Smash, Zelda etc is coming so they don't need to show them.
No it doesn't make sense. Nintendo's always showed first-party software at E3 even if it's not coming at launch. We know it's coming yes but do you realize how much better the conference would have been had they shown even some beta that would probably look nothing like the finished product by the time it comes out? Big mistake, IMO.
-

Yeah, that's bull. Did you see those graphics on some of those gameplay demos. There's no way the 360 can do that.
-
I](http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/5/3065527/rumored-wii-u-specs-leak-ahead-e3-event-three-core-powerpc-chip) dunno, it's The Verge that said it. They're one of the more reputable sites, but they could be wrong.
-
lol who?
Anyway, another disappointment of mine is that they didn't show the online network at all.

Um, hasn't the 360 always been multicore?
The part that's promising about the WiiU is significantly increased RAM.

@Tatermoog 360 was said to be tri core, if those Wii-U specs are the same as the rumors then Wii-U is a quad core.

For fucks sack ease off the gifs
