Getting in trouble for Wii U leaks? What a ****ing joke....come on

You clearly don't understand NDAs and you probably don't really understand how business works in general. Move on.

 

[ArtHands]

That was completely uncalled for I blame Nintendo for not talking about the NX. Nintendo fans are on edge right now.



...for a virtual console title? Nintendo are so pathetic.



I understand her concern and I don't think anyone is getting fired over revealing Mother 3 on virtual console. It's not like she leaked something relevant....you know.....NX related.

Its still an NDA. You are ignorant and have no idea how things work, so best that you stay quiet.

 

[RayearthRob]

Lord, I bought this game today. First thought was: "I want a Wii U version".

 

[Azure Dream]

Smart as hell. Honestly, I would've pegged Sony as picking it up. Perfect fit for Vita.

Undertale amiibos !

Already on it:

Ha,so cool.

Also Undertale 2 NX

I think there was a build up coming and not really just NX related or anything. Before she left she also had a mini rant and called out a person of some site for being a terrible writer and stuff too.

I don't blame her though. She gets a lot of flak and a lot of names flung at her for a lot of things like being excited, or just whatever.

 

[Ekai]

It was inevitable that one of the big three would reach out to get Undertale. Just a little surprised its Nintendo.

Ninty makes the most sense really. The Microsoft and Sony brands don't tend to approach the aesthetics that UT has.

 

[EdwardTeach]

What an incredibly badly written tweet.

 

[LiquidSolid]

What makes you think they (and Microsoft) haven't been in contact with him? It's not like Undertale came out yesterday, it's been out for nearly five months.

Whichever companie's games you like (Game Arts ....If they'd still make games I guess) would be pissed too if their internal projects got leaked nilly willy.

There is nothing pathetic about upholding internal NDAs.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

Ok, bring Undertale to Wii U, ill double dip.

And next, let's talk about Undertale Amiibos.

DO IT, NINTENDO.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

I personally don't care all that much if Undertale comes to Wii U. There's already a way of playing it at home. I'd much rather it came to 3DS. Portable Undertale would be incredible, and the 3DS has a much bigger userbase, so more people would get to play it.

Obviously, both would be ideal though.

 

[Het_Nkik]

What an incredibly badly written tweet.

I don't know if the joke here is intentional or not.

Spoiler

Poorly written.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Is it really impossible to

Spoiler

crash or force quit a Wii U/3DS software

though? I'm sure they can work around it. Mettaton's essay could be replaced by a drawing made with the touch screen.

A few easter eggs would inevitably be lost, like

Spoiler

Gaster

.

(If it's about Undertale.)

There are Wii U games with

Spoiler

have quit buttons.

If you can do it with a button, you can definitely do what Undertale does.

Of course, doing that would probably violate certification requirements, but I'm sure they can work something out.

Spoiler

The force-quit moments could be adapted into something else, but I'm more concerned about all the secret autosaving to make the deja vu stuff work. All the consoles require games to notify you somehow whenever they're writing data.

You sure about that? There are a ton of Nintendo games where

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure I've never seen an explicit save notification.

 

[wildfire]

Not sure why the ?, he really did tweet that

Is he doing it under official capacity as a Nintendo rep or doing it for personal reasons would be the only valid reason why this ? exists.

 

[Jackano]

I know, I just think it's very weird for Nintendo to try to reach an indie dev directly via Twitter so openly.

Not to me. Sounds very much like what is left of Dan Adelman's former team would do to reach out developers, with their limited resources.
I don't want to be too harsh, but you can't be surprised on how cheap Nintendo can be in his developers relationships.

She's announced she's quitting journalism/writing/social media a zillion times already. It never sticks.

 

[DNAbro]

Toby just tweeted about it

 

[Quonny]

aka fuck it im bored and rich lets see

 

[Kouriozan]

Toby just tweeted about it

Interesting, I wonder what will be the outcome.

 

[Candescence]

A lot of Game Maker/Multimedia Fusion games that get at least a modest success tend to be outright reprogrammed or ported in some fashion. The latter is hilariously outdated and the former is known for ridiculous performance issues at times.

 

[Saikyo]

I dont even have a 3DS/Wii U but I am happy more people can play the game, hope something happens.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Toby just tweeted about it

It'll certainly end up being more playable than a Nicalis game, he's right to give it a shot.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

So long as he doesn't get nicalis involved, we're OK.

I don't really understand how nicalis keeps signing big name Indies when nigh on everything they've ever released has had at least one game breaking buf that takes months to get fixed, if it ever does.

 

[DNAbro]

more toby tweets

Ooops, i cropped wrong. It goes top, bottom, middle for order.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Anyone but Nicalis, Toby.

ANYONE BUT NICALIS

 

[wild wild rice]

I really want to play this so I hope it ends up on some console somewhere. I have the demo sitting unopened on my laptop and I just can't bring myself to play it on a laptop.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I bet that dude saw that Undertale Miiverse graffiti art that appeared in Splatoon and he couldn't resist being excited about the proposition.

 

[Bots are better than you]

Well, i wanted to post "Nintendo should hit him up with a devkit and an Unity license" ... but reading the tweet about not knowing any programming languages ... he made the whole game without any coding?

Nothing makes one feel as good as the sentence "Even people who can't code can make games and do that better than you"! ^^

E: Yeah, anyone but Nicalis!

 

[Linkstrikesback]

ANYONE BUT NICALIS

It's going to be Nicalis isn't it.

Goddamit, I want to play this on a console, but we all know Nicalis will fuck it somehow.

 

[Kouriozan]

Miiverse would implode if this is ever happening.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's going to be Nicalis isn't it.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be Curve....but yes, I absolutely fear it'll be Nicalis.

 

[Somnid]

I thought Game Maker could export to web? From what I've seen of Undertale it doesn't look like it would need anymore than that.

 

[jblank83]

I'd love this on 3DS with some 3D layering.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Nicalis would be a literal nightmare.

 

[Candescence]

Yeah, someone better tell him to avoid Nicalis like the plague.

Well, i wanted to post "Nintendo should hit him up with a devkit and an Unity license" ... but reading the tweet about not knowing any programming languages ... he made the whole game without any coding?

Nothing makes one feel as good as the sentence "Even people who can't code can make games and do that better than you"! ^^

Actually, he meant he doesn't know any actual programming languages. Game Maker's scripting language doesn't count as one of those.

 

[DNAbro]

What other indie port houses are there other than Nicalis? It seems crazy that they still get work after a bunch of bad ports if there are better alternatives.

Publicly.

Devolver Digital?

jebus, guess Nintendo would have to do it themselves.

 

[DNAbro]

Devolver Digital?

Do they actually do the porting? I thought they just help publish and market indie games.

 

[Syril]

Bifrost Entertainment is helping out with Iconoclasts right now.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Yup. Interviews with IGN had Toby saying he'd love to have his game on a Nintendo platform but GM wouldn't be compatible. So seems like he'd be eager to involve himself if a solution presented itself.

 

[Saikyo]

Devolver Digital?

They ported something to Nintendo systems? They could help with a vita/ps4 port...

 

[DrArchon]

Could be a sign that Nintendo plans to make it so that Gamemaker based indies will have an easier time getting ported to the NX. Undertale would make for a good flagship for such a plan.

Or Nicalis could port the game and it never sees the light of day.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

If there is a company that would treat Undertale with respect is Nintendo.

This is interesting.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Toby just tweeted about it

aka fuck it im bored and rich lets see

Haha

 

[Makonero]

This would be an excellent project for a few of Nintendo's in-house devs to handle alongside Toby.

Do it, Nintendo.

 

[Sami+]

You got people calling her "whore" and "c*nt* and more for her leaks, her enthusiasm, her criticisms, etc. She deleted her Twitter account after all this.

She deleted her Twitter? :/

God, fuck gamers. Fuuuuck gamers.

Seriously. With real Game Maker support that would open up so many opportunities for indie devs to release on Wii U. Unity coming to n3DS was a great thing as well. More engines will just mean more games!
