Hi its time for your quarterly SmileBASIC thread bump okay here it is (thanks2PSN), Petitcom BIG (The Wii U version!!) is coming out in Japan next week:
https://twitter.com/notohoho/status/806318407536689152
The Japanese website also updated just now here are the differences (there aren't many):
  • The WiiU version operates in compatibility mode until you explicitly go into BIG mode with XON WIIU.
  • XSCREEN modes 5 and 6 are added (single screen and TV/gamepad respectively), 7 resolution options for both screens from 256x192 to 854x480 for some reason, supports up to 4096 sprites.
  • As expected, no networking support. But BUTTON() now accepts controller IDs instead of terminal IDs, so if that's how you wrote your network code I think it should be fairly trivial to port multiplayer games.
  • 16x16 fonts
  • Supports USB microphones?? I don't know if the ASU is included or not but PCMSTREAM can simultaneously output to the TV, gamepad, and 4 wiimotes
GRP pages should also be 1024x1024 in BIG mode but that isn't confirmed by the specs.
