Seems like Nintendo is on a roll with the third parties. Mark Rein compleneting them at all is crazy.

But hes with Epic Games, why is he talking about Valve

Hmm, could just be him assuming/hoping - although if anyone was in the know, it'd be a big person in the industry like him. But yeah, that'd be awesome.Ravensmash

no he wouldnt, Valve is a private company is notoriously secrative about everything. he wouldnt know any better then any of us.

Not that it would ever happen anway, no console developer would ever allow a third party to run their distrobution network.

Mark Rein is VP and co-founder of Epic. KC_Hokie

NO! I WANT PORTAL ON WII(U)!

I Want Valve for WiiU!

Unreal for WiiU? If so then Nintendo will Never have to Worry about 3rd Party anymore.

"Bu bu Nintendo consoles will nevah get good 3rd party support!" lol anyways good for them. Nintendo is headed in the right direction.

Why would the guy from Epic be talking about Valve

Mark should stop tweeting and start making Samaritan into a full-game. Next gen starts next year Mark! Get production rollin' since Gears is done now.

Well..obviously there won't be Steam on WiiU, wouldn't make any sense for Nintendo. But full Steamworks support, the way PS3 version of Portal 2 is? Most likely yes.

What's so bad about Valve? Newell is even a big Nintendo fan and his fave game is Mario 64.

I swear if Epic or Valve in any way steer Nintendo in any direction in regards to making the Wii U and its OS, innards, etc then I'll be PO'd.

Let Nintendo make it, so long as they make it powerful enough to work on then stop complaining and make games for it if theirs money to be made.

I'm already upset that now I have to put up with a million more UE3 engine games on my Nintendo consoles now!

I could careless if Wii U has any third party support, while I'd like to have it, I'm getting a Wii U (and future Nintendo consoles) for Nintendo IPs, not for third party games. I want the console to be centered around making better Nintendo games, not just making it another platform for Epic to milk.

Valve needs to slow down and satisfy its fans with actual games. I get it, Steam is cool and all, terrific service, but give me HL2:EP3 already guys. You're making like 1 game every 3 years now!

Mark Rein? From Epic? Said that Valve would do something? For Wii U? By Nintendo?

What?

good more third party support shaping up nice for nintendo next console

steamworks would be huge. Steamworks would also be really great for a nintendo console because steam has an online infrastructure that is miles ahead of what nintendo has. Plus, it would great to have all the steam features like friend's list, chat, etc. It would be great if all of 3rd party Nintendo games that had PC versions in Steam could also retain their steam compatibility. The chat features, the cross-platform gaming, the auto-updates would just be great. Plus, it would save Nintendo a lot of work.

Wait...I don't get it. I'm so confused now!

Confirmed: Valve cares about the children as much as Nintendo. Valve supports friend codes!

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] So some how mark rein Epic employee knows something about valve before Gabe does? how exactly is that possible? maybe you should accept the fact that Gabe newells recent words were praising ease of development and power of the Wii u nothing about its Online component and Mark rein made a joke about Wii u using steam completely as its online service or posting a hope that he'd like to see that? It is generally considered rude in the industry to find out a secret then blurt it out before the company it has to do with actually says anything about it...but keep plastering SW with wii-u threads and posting the twitter post...Find it odd how you have posted less of the gabe newell words about the Wii u and instead fall back on the Mark rein twiter maybe because people would notice gabe says nothing about Wii u online?biggotorium

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] um I know mark rein said it...does that mean its true? It was touched upon before I even got here it Makes no sense how Mark Rein would know of Or tweet a close kept secret that Valve is handling Wii-u's Online AND he doesn't even say that just that it will have full steam support... Its a misleading if not outright lie of a topic title meant to get hits.biggotorium

Quite priceless that you'll take any twitter or forum as confirmed fact for most anything as shown by your usage of Hiphop gamer. Once you used hiphop gamer your creditiblity went down the tubes.

Newell is fat, therefore he is immoral and wrong.
