Shin’en Multimedia’s Manfred Linzner was recently interviewed by SuperPhillip. During the interview, Linzner revealed that Shin’en Multimedia is almost finished developing a new game for Wii U. Linzner is impressed with the Wii U console and claims that it’s very easy to develop for. According to Linzner, compared to other current generation platforms, the Wii U does not have many limitations. Lizner also revealed that Nintendo doesn’t really put restrictions on developers who bring their content to the eShop.
Though i do agree with remanutd55 that it would be nice to see Nintendo show 'new games' rather than ports from year old games & more Super Mario Bros. Sure they showed that Lego game & Zombie U but i do not think that is enough to quell the doubters.
Right now it is all talk & that gets you no where with fans.
“We have a few Wii U devkits since quite some time. We even almost finished our first Wii U game. The kits exceeded our expectations in every way and we still learn how to get the best performance out of it. A good thing about Wii U is that it’s very easy to develop for. You don’t have so many limitations like on the other current gen platforms. For us the Wii U is the perfect platform with enough horsepower for many years to come. I think we currently only tapped 20% of its potential and our first game already looks and plays brilliant.”
“Digital is of course the future. We love that Nintendo doesn’t really put restrictions on the developers what they want to do in the eShop. For us as a small developer it’s like a dream come true to be able to design whatever we want and to bring it quickly to the players.”
PS3 and x360 also had tons of PS2/GC/xbox1 games at launch (COD, Tony Hawk etc), so why are you complaining about "current games"? PS3 also had only one exclusive at launch (Resistance).
WiiU will have at least 4 good exclusive games:
-Pikmin 3 (looks fun)
-New Super Mario Bros U (I don't know if I will buy it but I am sure lots of people will buy it)
-ZombiU (I like the concept and I will buy it)
-Rayman Legends (multiplayer looks REALLY fun and I am buying it day one)
There are also some other exclusive games that I am not sure if it will be good:
-Lego City
-Scribblenauts Unlimited (WiiU version is different from the 3DS version)
-P-100
There you have it, much more exclusive games than PS3 had at launch.
Ports from current gen(like Batman, Mass Effect etc) are something normal, even PS3/x360 had PS2/GC/xbox1 games at launch (as I said before) and you are ignoring that.
Games like Assassin's Creed 3, Darksiders 2 and some other games are good to show the WiiU is getting some third party support. You guys complained about the lack of suppor and now you will complain about the support? What's the logic?
Resume: Your post is just trolling and you don't even know what you are talking about. You just want to complain for no reason about a console that is not even out yet.
And people complain about Mario, but fans love it, just like Uncharted/Gears of War/God of War/Halo fans will want more, it doesn't really matter if you call it "rehash", "milk" "more old mario" or something like that.
Pikmin 3, Project P-100, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Tekken Tag 2, Project Cars, Darksiders II, Aliens Colonial Marines and a version of Ninja Gaiden III that supposedly doesn't suck to name a few. And they are all in the launch window.
Apart from Ninja Gaiden all of these games are new.
The console is said to be very easy to develop for so since its so easy then devs should be able to utilize its strength when making ports of games or exclusives. The Wii u haven't shown anything above games already available this gen technology -wise. It is said that it has worse graphics in some games than Xbox and ps3
I also think wiiU will better for mmos than ps3 or 360.
Except running the Unreal Engine 4...something I'm betting third party developers will probably use next gen
LOTS of developers have used UE3 this gen, they wouldn't want the UE4 to miss out next gen. When a lot of developers are most likely to use it.
"Except running UE4" lol, shut up and sit the fuck down.
For instance - are all PS360 mutiplatform titles considered the same? (performance wise) I've read articles on how the Skyrim edition on the PS3, suffers from a few issues (though they might have been alleviated now).
Was that Gearbox employee being sarcastic when he stated that the Wii U has a great CPU?
Who?
Oh thats right some developers who have made nothing but medicore games that look like they'd be suitable for the iPhone. But, of course to them there would be no limitations on the Wii U.
@ remanutd55 Thats so true.
As I've always said:
Positive Wii U talk: Ignored or rejected.
Negative Wii U talk: Accepted as truth, hooray.
" According to Linzner, compared to other current generation platforms, the Wii U does not have many limitations."
Funny since they never developed a ps3 or 360 game, what the hell does he know, sorry but a exclusive dev used to handhelds commenting on the wiiu power, fascinating.
So what was it a slow news day pops, yeah i'll 15 disagrees from the pro nintendo crowd, but why the hell would anyone listen to a nobody handheld dev discussing a next gen consoles potential.
Stick to recognised 3rd party devs, not a unknown dev making obscure titles few have heard about.
If you have to dig this deep for positive wii u news, your trying way too hard.
Like remanutd55 said, show the games because talk is cheap, especially in this case.
They've learned their lesson from the Nintendo 64 it seems which was said to be harder to develop for so not many games got released for it. The only problem is ''shovelware'' which they should assess before games get released on their consoles.
