SmileBASIC for Wii U - "Official" Megathread

To be fair, SB has only postponed stuff this once AFAIK. I'm still miffed at the rushed, buggy 3.3.0 US release, but whelp, the longer they wait to fix the longer you EU guys will have to wait I guess. Guess EU ver is not until Fall, hopefully before NX.

Is there any way to confirm or deny this or is this your hunch? As far as I can tell SmileBoom hasn't even said the word Europe since last October. :( https://youtu.be/cdEQmpVIE4A

For super quick and easy transfer from PC to WiiU I'd imagine something like the "USB Rubber Ducky" could come in handy. It's a device used for pen testing generally, that can automate keystrokes (which is useful for transferring code). Upside is it's premade and fits in the form factor of a USB flash drive. Downside is it's $45 and not networked, so you would have to swap MicroSD cards a lot.

That's actually a really smart idea! We'll have to see what else the keyboard input can do for us when SmileBASIC BIG is released.

OH YEAH I CANT WAIT not only will I get a Big-screen smilebasic but I willalso be able to use the multiplayer features since I only have 1 n3ds and my o3ds was wiped and "given" to my friend

Some new relevant tweets have been made, which I have made an attempt to translate.

ありがとうございます！実は開発チームが異なるのでSMILEGAMEBUILDERの影響はありません、予想以上にWiiU対応が難航しているのが原因でして・・いつもお待たせしてスミマセン。

Thank you! Actually, since they're handled by different development teams, there's no influence from SMILE GAME BUILDER on [SmileBASIC for WiiU] progress, but because Wii U development was having unexpected difficulties... Always having to wait longer

おはようございます。お待たせして大変申し訳ありません。今朝も開発は続いております。3DSよりも高度な環境のため予想以上に動作確認の組み合わせが多く（主に解像度増加やGamePad上での2画面同時表示など）単純に時間がかかっています。南半球の夏までには何とか・・

Good morning. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Development has continued this morning. It simply takes more time than expected to perform the operations testing for more advanced environments than the 3DS (such as two screen simultaneous display and increased resolution with the GamePad). Somehow, barely by Summer in the Southern Hemisphere...* _{*tn: obviously, Winter for most of us. I think this is a joke about how a Summer release was predicted, so Kobayashi is joking that "it'll be Summer... in the southern hemisphere"}

What do you think?

Boy, SmileBASIC updates feel like Kickstarter updates. You're just happy to see the update, until it's telling you about delays.

"Summer in the Southern Hemisphere" Heh. thanks for the updatero daddyo

I want a WiiU so I can make a cross-platform multiplayer game. ^{_{And for smash bros}}

SmileBASIC Wii U will be released on February 29th 2017 (Anyway... I hope SB doesn't turn out like scribblenauts did, with the 3DS version missing many of the features that the Wii U game had)

Scribblenauts Unlimited on 3DS... I don't often get juped in my game purchases, but that game sure did.

It was a good game, but it wasn't the wii version ;-;

I can't read this. http://www.famitsu.com/news/201608/27113960.html Some points to make:

• XON WIIU enables Wii U features.
• Sprite limit up from 512 to 4096 (!!!)
• Supports off-TV mode; entire UI displays on gamepad

Do you think we'll be able to make full 3D Games? (PSOne/Super FX Chip Quality)

P3D on Wii U hype?

Kouyama updated the wiki article to list the compatible controllers. Among them is listed "USB Microphone", so perhaps Petitmodem isn't dead? ;)

Balance Board is not supported.

Aw, I wanted to use the balance board! (I don't have one though...)
