This sounds better and better, and with a multiplayer patch (and appearantly nice developers) I'll most likely pick this up when it launches in Europe!
Seriously, as a game developer myself I have to say I see nothing in this video that should be a problem to get to run on Wii U. I'd say they're just lazy or feel so pressed on time they feel they can't make more versions than one. Fair enough, but then they should say that and not blame it on technical issues...
Perhaps the fact that Wii U sales have picked up a lot in wake of recent big titles, this is viable again. Especially since Treyarch have a great history of Nintendo ports. I really hope this is true! Will certainly buy it day one if it comes out for Wii U. Had lots of fun with the last two titles to arrive on the console.
By the way, is it possible to go in there and link the account? Maybe I should do that to encourage them to port.
Nice to hear it does well! While I would have liked a few more boards, it's my favorite entry in the series this far. Bowser mode and it's co-op gameplay was amazingly fun and will be played on many parties to come. Standard gameplay is great too; I especially liked that there are so many fun events around the boards, like all attractions in the fairground, etc.
Really liked Master Reboot, so I really want this too. A bit dissapointed its so far away before release, but the fact that it is coming and is looking great easily compensates!
Also glad this is still on track. There are way to few action games for 3DS. It's a genre I like, and many of the ones that have been released have worked really well. I also really really hope this will have single-cart (or single download, I guess) multiplayer. Would be soo awesome to try that multiplayer. I might be able to get six persons with 3DS:es together, but without such a mode I won't get all of them to have the game...
Great news! I really liked the original and played it a lot in multi. Combination of four player co-op and cheap prize made a few of my friends get it, so we didnt even need download play, which is otherwise a must since we rarely have the same games.
So hyped for this! Loved the original and have played it loads. Also those screens look stunning! Hope we'll see more soon. Thanks for putting so much time into this and making it for Wii U!
By the way, how many players will this be? Any chance of 5 players with four on the tv and one on the gamepad? I had hoped Mario Kart 8 would have that, but since it didn't my hope turned to other Wii U racers.
Sounds like great fun this, and Id love to have another fun racer to challenge my friends in! Hope your talks to Nintendo go well and looking forward to playing this on Wii U!
I really wish this would have been released! Would have bought it twice. Was so amazing on GC and this looks even better.
Also, I really liked Force Unleashed for the Wii, including the motion controls. It really nailed immersion without compromising advanced gameplay. Played it several times and would love a third one.
I think this looks both good and fun. If they can pull this off in 4 player multi, or even better, 5 player, then this could be really good. Also, the video says tech demo, so perhaps additional tweaks to physics and such will be made to make things feel more realistic and water-ish.
I really hope Hex Heroes make it. Sounds fantastic!
Also, I just contacted the authors of another intersting project: Dahlia. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/team5d/dahlia?ref=discovery
It's developers told me they plan on adding support for Wii U if it gets funded, and added that information to it's FAQ. Have a look, it sounds very nice!
Im very curious about the tutorials included. How extensive are they? Is it only to explain the rules are do they go into various strategies, openings, etc?
Awesome news this! I actually mailed Zordix about a Wii U version of this after playing and enjoying the 3DS version, and now they actually have one on the way. Maybe I should mail more developers about Wii U versions of games Id like to see.
I see. Very interesting information, though I'm sad it would be so complicated. But hopefully this game will sell well, or you get some investors for another game. Also, thanks for the answers. One thing I really like about this page is that sometimes developers stop by and answer questions.
@ZordixAB: If you need money for the project, how about a kickstarter? Could work, seeing as many such projects including Wii U stretch goals and similar have been very well funded.
Just bought this, even though the score here was a bit low. Used to play games from the Saturn/Playstation era, so I don't usually have problems with some slowdown. No new game ever gets even close to how choppy some of those old games were. And if it is a problem, playing with 3D off seems to help. Still, an update with some optimizations to help these problems would be nice. That, or that Wii U-version mentioned a few days ago. That would be too good to be true!
I'd really love to see this on Wii U! Will download the 3DS version any day now, since I've really been craving for something Wave Race-like for a while after playing Wii Sports Resort. The fact that it has Download Play makes me want it even more. A very awesome addition. I'll think I'll get my 3DS now and download it.
Anyway, nice to hear them want to support Nintendo platforms. As said, Aqua Moto Racing for Wii U, with splitscreen support, would be a blast at gaming nights!
FAST: Racing League for Wii U stands far at the top on my wanted list for eshop. I really hope that is what is on the way! Then again, I guess any type of racing game (or any game for that matter) from Shin'en will be fantastic! Can't wait to hear more!
For most FPS games, I don't feel this is necessary. I really liked aiming with the stylus. As long as developers won't remove or stop using stylus aiming in games in favor for a second analog stick, I guess this could be useful though. In other types of action games perhaps.
Played this all day! I'd give it a 10/10 no doubt. The only WiiWare games I can think of that I have enjoyed more are World of Goo and Cave Story. (And it might change, depending on how fun FAST is in multiplayer.) But then again, I really like futuristic racers. As many have mentioned, certainly the best in the genre available for Wii apart from F-Zero GX. I really hope it sells well, so Shin'en will consider more WiiWare games. Then again, will be really interesting to see what they can do on 3DS too.
It's really strange if a Sonic game would not be released on Wii considering how well the other Sonic-games have sold there. Sonic Unleashed sold more than twice as well on Wii as on any other platform according to VGChartz. A 3DS and/or Wii version would really make sense.
Good to hear! I have nothing against motion controls or touch screens, but they really need to be complemented with buttons in most cases or the games will suffer from it. Nothing I have played on touch-screen tablets or mobile phones have managed to work nearly as good as real buttons. Both in unison, like the DS, can be fantastic though.

Re: Exclusive: Get Revved Up With the First FAST Racing NEO 60fps Footage
So happy, a new AAA futuristic racer is finally coming! So much hype! Looks really fun and really beautiful!
@Manfred Any chance we can get a high bit-rate version of this trailer too? You usually do those, and it makes the games look even better.

Re: Review: Affordable Space Adventures (Wii U eShop)
Want this soo much, and nice to hear it really delivers. Especially in co-op. Day one purchases without a doubt!

Re: Cube Life: Island Survival is Another Minecraft-Inspired Title Heading to the Wii U eShop
I'm curious, this could be fun. Any words about multiplayer? A local multiplayer mode would be fun.
Re: Nintendo Confirms New 3DS eShop Shooter IronFall Invasion
@TimeGuy Sure, but I'm not really fond of playing online. I find it much more fun to play together with friends in the same room.
@ecco6t9 I remember playing and really liking that. Indeed very impressive for it's hardware.

Re: Watch: Catch Up With the North American, European and Japanese Nintendo Direct Broadcasts
Soo hyped and happy now! Loads of good stuff this time, including a lot of surprises! My gaming future looks great indeed!
Just unhappy about one thing, that Pokémon puzzler. Why did they have to make it a stupid freemium, pay-to-win affair. Nintendo has stood up against that kind of crap for so long, and I really hope they will stay focused on providing good quality games for a decent cost, instead of crap games for zero cost (+ very high cost if you actually want to play it...)
Sorry, a bit angry there. But I can't help feeling the whole App Store-mentality is ruining more and more of the gaming world every day. A low one-time payment, or at least an option to buy the entire game for a higher sum like in Steel Diver feels much more honest.
Either way, it's just one title for the moment. As far as the big ones stay far out of this territory, I won't complain more.
Re: New Screenshots for Rock 'N Racing Off Road Speed Into View
Looks fun, they had me at 5 player support. Will get this!
Re: Undead Storm Nightmare Will Bring The Zombie Apocalypse to 3DS

Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Renegade Kid
Xeodrifter looks great! What Id like most though would be a Moon Chronicles (or Dementium II) remake for Wii U.
Also, +1 for Moon Chronicles release in EU.
Re: UCraft Wii U Beta Plans Outlined as New Trailer Makes The Case for Upcoming Release

Re: Interview: Shin'en Multimedia on FAST Racing NEO and its Development Approach
