Can't wait!

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

I'll be at work. Cant wait to see Reggie

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Better get some megaton news or I'm gonna be pissed.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

If a new Mario adventure isn't revealed, I'll gladly put my Wii up on Craigslist or eBay

Either present epic, 10.0-rated games or I'm through with this.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

WTF is this for? E3?

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

No, it's for X08.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

It is in the "E3 Media and Business Summit" forum. :ohreilly:

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Good point. This is coming up soon? Haven't heard a thing about it.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Yeah, it starts this Monday.

Seems to be the least hyped E3 in years. No one is very excited by my judgment.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

I've been excited about it actually.

God what I would kill for a new Zelda game.

Hopefully some more stuff on MadWorld too please?

I'd hate to see that take the same fate that H.A.M.M.E.R. did.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

I'm going to make a call here.

New version of DS.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

They gotta have something to show off with the new motion sensor.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

A new Mario Golf. Calling it.

Dyne better get the lube out.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Mario Golf doesn't exist any more. :( Unless they start it up again with a half-assed developer.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Don't look at me. I don't like Mario Golf.

Now Mario Tennis....

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Animal Crossing 2.0 was just (officially) announced.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

As was Wiispeak
seems to be some type of microphone for the Wii for voice chat.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Rayman, and Call of Duty: World at War.

No surprises so far.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Thus far, it has been a repeat of last year with the bragging.

I hope they got something.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

GTA game for DS? That should be unique...

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Wii Sports 2

Wii sports Resort to use new Wii controller.

comes with the controller and an extender.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Does any of that stuff look like things that weren't already possible with the Wiimote as it is now? It was all pretty basic.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Not another music game... Wii Music. I wish this fad would end soon.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

And notice the foot pad thing that guy was using for the drums? I wonder if that was the wii fit pad?

I'm also sick of all the accessories you need for every new game. Here in a few years when the Wii's life is over, everyone is going to have a closet full of white plastic junk that they wonder why they bought.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Probably the most boring press conference ever. It was more of an attempt to get third party publishers to take notice of their system and technology and start making some games for it than it was a real display of innovation.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Well, that's it.

Biggest announcement was a GTA game coming to the DS.

Vampyr, I agree. The "press conference" was more like a "board room meeting."

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

-Wii snowboarding
-Call of Duty 5
-Raving Rabbids: TV Party
-Star Wars: Clone Wars

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Terrible.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Those wishing for a new Zelda were perhaps wishing for too much.

I heard exactly what I want to hear -- Wii Sports 2 (Wii Resort) is coming out. That's all I've really wanted since launch, and that 1-to-1 movement looks smooth.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Underwhelming, at best.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

It will be interesting to see if GTA: Chinatown Wars is a "toned-down" version of GTA for the DS, or if it will be a true GTA like on the PSP.

I'm not so sure if a true GTA game is possible on the DS though, so maybe it will be a return to 2D.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

I was just reminded why I chose the PS3 (360 would have been my other option) over Wii. Wii has a lot to offer as a console, just something different than I want in gaming. For parties, social gatherings etc. it can be a lot of fun. At the same time, I lost interest in Wii Sports after 3 times playing it. Mario was fun from the limited time I had with it, but it seems Nintendo is really focusing in on the "Wii ____" brands.

Compare them to other games we've seen on the PS3/360 like Fallout 3, Resistance 2, Resident Evil 5, Gears 2, Uncharted 2 (hasnt been shown, yet) and you just don't have a contest from my point of view.

However, I will say that Nintendo has done about as well as possible capturing the new casual gamer and in effect profited tremendously. Smart business model.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Terrible conference

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Worse than the Pacman VS conference?

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

It was quite underwhelming.



That's right, I brought out the fail whale.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

Not even a Kid Icarus??? They needed a serious game badly.

Dissappointing.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

When they first showed the Jedi game, I was stoked because I figured they would announce it was using the new 1-to-1 device.

Alas, that would be too clever of a move for Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 

I saw that happening too. The DS is nowhere near capable of having that open world on a big scale like that.

Nintendo also failed to show anything with regards to gameplay for it.

Nintendo just failed for this whole press conference. Seriously. I think they're running out of ideas.

Shaun White Snowboarding partially interested me. If that. Not being able to jump on the balance board is gonna cause some quirky control stuff when playing in game, leading to sub-par gameplay IMO.
