Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I was excited about PS3 but with you covering it I feel I must defend...

...Thursday.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

That was my impression. The video looked like the screen shots from GC Wars.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

oooh cool

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I guess their Revolutionary controller may in fact be something totally different. I see those ports and they look like GCN ports, so they are there for BWC.

So... the revolutionary controller isn't out of the question anymore.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Is that real?

Well then, maybe the GC controller is meant to play all the games of past, and the rev controller is used PURELY for the rev... if only...

And Kyuzo, calm down, I'm used to you... in here and out of here...

That and I told you that I'm getting a PS3, just for show of course [/endsarcasm] , and the Revolution...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Well I've purposefully avoided posting anywhere in E3 discussions because I hate the antics.

But I'll make this post brief.

I went into E3 as unbiased as I could. I got really excited about PS3 last night. It's good except for the controller, which looks like ass.

So, today, when I logged on, I got all the Nintendo conference updates. I didn't bother coming here; I went straight to Nintendo.com. I was really happy with everything. The Gameboy Micro is really "meh" in my books. Unless it's like $40-$50, I won't be looking into it.

Zelda I'm really happy about. The art direction is superb, and I really love the graphics.

Then I got a gander at the Revolution. I'm really satisfied with it. The design is definitely the best part. There's nothing really horribly gimmicky with it. Overall, nothing I would change or add at all. I can't wait to see the games coming. And I haven't read much, but I can't see anything to complain about the Revolution, at all. Aside from the fanboys who will find SOME way to complain.

My only hope right now is that Nintendo gets the respect it deserves. I am so sick and tired of the Gamecube being whipped and tossed around this generation. The Revolution honestly looks a great deal more fixed than the Gamecube was. I will seriously hate anybody who ignores the Revolution when it comes to comparisons unless it arrives extremely flawed. Until then, I spit at anybody who just does "OMG PS3 vs. XBOX 360 this that".

Dyne out.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

But see, problems with what Nintendo revealed about the revolution aren't what people are talking about, it's the lack of information...

If you ask me, the only threat there ever was of anything possibly being gimmicky had to do with the controller... Which... we still havn't seen... And will apparently be a huge part of the system and the way it works...

You can't see anything to complain about because we havn't really seen anything, and after Microsoft and especially Sony's huge showings, that's the whole problem people are having now...

Nintendo fanboys don't usually find ways to complain, they find ways to go insanely over-the-top apesh*t CRRAAZY excited over everything Nintendo reveals...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

which is exactly what they should do. Sony isnt afraid of letting thier cards show. Nintendo is. Sony gave reasons to hold out on Xbox for a PS3. Nintendo shoulda tried to give reasons to hold out on PS3 for a nintendo. or at least, gave them a reason to wait and see whats coming from them.


And how quickly we forget nintendo did the same thing. i sure as hell remember seeing thoes tech demos at e3 long ago, holy cow. look at that amazing fight between ganon and link!!! gamecube is going to be so awsome! and fans ate up that hype like no tomorrow. this has ALWAYS been the case with all the consoles.


My main, and pretty much only problem with nintendos conference, is that they didnt give gamers a reason to wait for them. they didnt plant the seed.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Of course we can.

We're a Gametavern family...........now everybody hold hands....

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I've been busy, so I'm a little late with all this, but after reading all about the PS3....well, all I can say is, Nintendo dug their own hole and I'd be laughing but I'm to busy drooling over the new Sony hardware. Can you say kick ass? Holy crap, the PS3 is godly right now, and if I get a next-gen console, which I probably won't, it'll be the PS3.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

prove it

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I'm talking about in the past. Again, I already mentioned what Sony said about PS2 and the Emotion Engine that never held up (70 million polygons, Toy Story in real-time), whereas Nintendo's battery life for GBA, DS, and Wavebird were more than they stated, and Wavebird can go WAY past the 20-30 feet or whatever number they gave it. I'm not going to argue specs about this generation because we don't know Nintendo's, numbers don't mean everything, and I'm 99.9% sure PS3 will be more powerful anyways.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

So yeah, at the risk of setting myself up for a huge dissapointment, I am now, in my own mind, about 99% certain that Thursday will infact mean something big... And I think it's even tied into the mockup video...

Bada bing

That site has a very nice explanation of all the 'coincidences', where Aries has been right, the weird videos on Nintendo, etc...

From the second that guy from Nintendo said "We will show you the controller... Later... *little smile as everyone groans because they want it NOW!*", I had a feeling something was up... That by 'Later', he didn't mean fall, or next E3...

And then at the end of the article, this really caught my attention...

I think Nintendo intentionally made the amateurish Aries 'Insider blog', and had a hand in creating that mockup as well...

The graphics might not actually be from revolution (although they might), that headset might not be the real thing (although... it might)... But again, another amatuerish tidbit, reflecting the IDEA of what might be shown off Thursday...

I feel kinda silly... I sound like some fanboy in denial... "Nintendo's press conference was dissapointing! THEY MUST HAVE SOMETHING UP THEIR SLEAVE! PLZ!? *cries*"... But there just seem to be too many 'coincidental' connections for it to just be... a coincidence...

I'd be as mellow and mysterious as Danchastu was but I'm too excited about the possibilities! >_<

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

That'd be absolutely amazing. They could win E³ again with something like this.

If not true, worst Nintendo E³ action ever.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Well, I've been trying to tell Danny to keep it hush. Don't want to get folks hope up.

I don't know if you folks heard but these are the videos that were up at Nintendo.com before their conference. And the one about Thurs is the one most people are speculating about.

After watching them, I would only conclude it was a way to tell people to come back later (that day) for their e3 coverage since it was a countdown.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Oh well, we'll see if this is true or not come thursday. Only one more day to go.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Well, all the E3 Insiders are buzzing about the secret Project Revolution revealing set for Thursday. All the speeches we heard on Tuesday contained hints and suggestions that people have been picking apart now and all the clues in the speeches point to something VERY BIG happening on Thursday. Gamers are NOT going to want to miss this. For now, I leave you with these hints:

Brain, Headset, Vortex

Stay tuned...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Stop acting like you know about these things. You know just as much as we do. Less, probably. :p

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I believe him.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Poor choice of words or just confusing choice...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Jeez. It feels like a mini-megaton.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

lol.

Okay Nintendo. This is your possible chance to redeem yourself.

Now let's see...

Is this chance taken? or blown?

hah

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Any news yet?

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Thursday hopefully.




Anyway what people fail to realize is that GameCube was revealed the E3 before it came out. Same deal now with Xbox 360. It really doesn't make too much sense to have even revealed it now seeing as there will be another E3 before it comes out. And Sony just wanted to give people a reason not to get an Xbox 360 and wait for their system.

Dun dun DUNNNNNN!!!!!

Death to the rumors? Or just some guy trying to get publicity for his site? *strokes beard*

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I don't see anything...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Me either, looks like DeathsHand was just trying to get some publicity.

Dun dun DUNNNN!

/me strokes DeathsHand's beard

Besides, E3 Insiders have already confirmed that some surprise news will be revealed tomorrow.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Hahaha. Oh Gamemaster.

I read the article. It was nothing special. I've never heard of the site either.

I don't have any hopes for "thursday."

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Perrin is talking to IGN tomorrow.

Reggie to GameSpot.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

I imagine the interviews will go something like this:


"Nintendo is more concerned about the current gen of video games, and providing its fans with unique and entertaining software. You'll see more of the Revolution at SpaceWorld."

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Square Enix to Join the Revolution


Square Enix Co., Ltd., a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software including two of the world's most popular franchises FINAL FANTASY and DRAGON QUEST, has announced plans for the FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles series to be developed for the Revolution, Nintendo's next-generation console currently in development.

The Revolution's promise of seamless interactive entertainment provided by the built in Wi-Fi system caught Square Enix's attention. The company decided to join the Revolution with FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles, which was originally released on Nintendo's GameCube by Game Designers Studio, Inc, an affiliate of Square Enix.

"We would like to strongly support Nintendo's next-generation networking plans," said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix. "The Revolution may embody a new platform beyond a portable or console, which makes possible a new structure in the network gaming system, changing the ways communities are built and supported. This is the kind of direction we've envisioned, and we will challenge ourselves to provide immersive interactive content in response to what Nintendo offers."

More details regarding the new FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles series are not yet determined and will be announced in the near future. So stay tuned...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Interesting. This time I may actually want to play FF:CC.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

Damnit either something was wrong in the linkage or they took the story down, basically it was the I believe editor/owner/whateverer of the site there who wrote a 'confession' that "Aries" is some kid not even out of high school yet who is a writer on their site...

But I believe had no proof...

Anyways, Thursday has begun... The end is nigh...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 

well if they say that it would be really strange, considering THERE IS NO SPACE WORLD!!!!!! :mad2:
