Aliens Colonial Marines For Wii U

Nintendo just showed footage for Aliens: Colonial Marines in their E3 conference. It seems it will be coming out for Nintendo’s new console Wii U. The gameplay video shows some Alien Eggs, the Motion Tracker, a marine getting pulled into a vent and the player in Hadley’s Hope being attacked by an Alien. Check out the video below:

There was no specific release date for the Wii U but I guess it will be some time in 2012. Update #1: HD footage can be found on Gametrailers. Update #2: Sega and Gearbox made an announcement concerning this. They say it is being “prototyped and considered” for the Nintendo Wii U. Update #3: Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford spoke in detail in what we can expect from the Wii U controller and ACM.

Please check ikarop’s thread in the forum for constant updates regarding ACM and E3. We’ll only be posting the important stuff on the frontpage.

    For those wondering, all the screenshots date from at least June 2010.
    The one with the alien hanging upside down was shown last year at the PAX. Also the one screenshot released on 1st June. The other maybe too.

    Yes, indeed. They were all made several months before PAX, June 2010 I believe but they could be a bit older.
    That's quite possible. I just wanted to point it out. ^^

    I brought up the tail last week too. Sucks but besides that, the hands and the open side mouth, its all cameron. I can live with those if the atmosphere and sound is great, and so far, they nailed them both. Listen to the Alien screeches in the Wii U trailer and tell me u didnt get a little fat and giggily.

    Dude those aliens look... so awesome.  Tail withstanding, dear Gearbox - if you're gonna keep the damn dragon tail, please absolutely nail the rest of the model.  I'm pleased, overall.  The head is the biggest deal for me, and its straight Aliens awesomeness.

    At least we don't have 30 foot grid tails  ;D.

    I can't believe they never mentioned it to us prior the show, oh well. At least we got these!

    Sounds like it only might be for the Wii 2. Whatever, I'm getting it for 360.

    Except they already announced it? Going in as a potential 1:1 launch title is a risky but possibly extremely lucrative move, and also says rather blatantly that Nintendo is moving their demographic... now if they'd make their 3rd party support not shit, they'd probably  have more title options.

    Hopefully aliems are console-specifically modeled. (riiiight.)

    No SEGA, thank you.  (Read = shove it.)

    Why so secretive?  There have been much bigger games revealed with later release dates.  Even if they don't have much, give us something.

    Great pictures guys, thanks.  That booth is definitely awesome, I also wonder why it's barely been mentioned outside of the Wii U business.

    *Bites fingers off*

    QuoteMoving to the next corner of the booth, we find the Aliens Colonial Marines theater. This is an enclosed space for people to get a private showing of what the game has to offer.

    Heh, what I was afraid of. Do you think we'll get any pictures of what the inside looks like?

    theres a shot of the player shooting at an alien and the alien turns and runs away. is it me or is that run a little, not alien =/
    0:28 in the video on the first page.

    If you minimize the video it literally looks exactly like footage from avp2010's second marine mission with more accurate sounds, and the alien making way too much noise as usual.

    :|

    sigh.

    You guys need to remember this is for the wii, which has effectively got the hardware of a gamecube, in many games such as call of duty, the sounds, animations (etc) tend to differentiate from those of the xbox pc and ps3



    EDIT

    I don't quite know how this comment got into this thread I posted it underneath the video on the main page ???
