I saw the Activision booth in that clip, I sure hope they demo COD3. :rock:

Oooh I can't wait for this! Hopefuly they'll finally anounce the freaking price point and release date!

Ok, wow, that was very lame. They confirmed Battalion Wars 2 (or BWii, ha! clever!) and a sequel to Mario Strikers and that's it.

Mario Strikers Charged and Battalion Wars 2 have been shown so far. Oh wait, now it's over. Laffo.

I've been following the coverage here.

And so far it's been a big disappointment. I'm hitting the hay now, and I expect far meatier info when I wake up.

Whoops, I'll just force these two threads to have sex. The conference is over, Nintendo basically didn't reveal shit all once again. =D

Stayed up for nothing. That conference sucked worse than "Giant Enemy Crab". Hopefully there will be vidoes of the Wiimote Dancers for future ytmnd's.

Not really, Mario Strikers Charged and Battalian Wars 2 will be awesome. Looking forward to the playable impressions / vids soon.

EDIT: BOTH ARE ONLINE :D

Finally some good WiFi games announced

KEY INFORMATION

Take to the pitch as Mario Strikers Charged (the follow up title to Mario Smash Football) returns with an all new roster of features, only for Wii.

• Use the skill the Wii Remote and Nunchuk Controller provide to win the ball, score unstoppable goals and take control of the goal keeper to perform spectacular saves

Characters: Mario is joined by other famous Nintendo characters who take on the role of captain. Players then select a host of popular teammates to make up the rest of the team.

How to progress through the game: Players form an original team by combining one of 12 captains with three of eight sidekicks before competing in one of the games many modes. Anything goes in Mario Strikers Charged as players are allowed to utilize a variety of special abilities to clinch important goals.

Super abilities/power ups/moves/features: Each captain has their own set of skills, super abilities as well as the ability to perform special shots called Mega Strikes, where the iron ball splits up to five balls and flies at the goal. The defending player must use the Wii Remote to target and aim at and shoot these balls out of the air before they concede a goal. In this game players can also charge energy to the metal ball, making it more likely to find its target when fired at goal.

Each of the stadiums in Mario Strikers Charged have various characteristics and contraptions, which influence game play. Players must learn to use this to their advantage to truly dominate the pitch.

Multiplayer: Mario Strikers Charged will not only feature an action packed multiplayer mode but will also support the Nintendo WiFi connection service, allowing players to take part in tournaments with people from all around the world.

Who at Nintendo thought it would be a great marketing strategy to hide the price and release date for this long?

If they want to keep the "hype" of the Wii from E3, they should not rely on this artificial secrecy that they are trying to surround the system and force down our throats.

Well I didn't think they'd reveal the price or release date but I figured they'd reveal more than Strikers and Batallion Wars Wii upgrades and Elebits multiplayer. Really, I was expecting a new franchise, or virtual console info, or their web interface, or interface, details of something, anything. I was really hoping for a showing from Capcom, Namco, and Square as my max to be honest. But since it is a German convention I suppose it's not worth their time.

With a title of "Wii prove our promise" this was a biiig let down. They better show something BIG at the press party with Reggie early September to make up for this garbage. Hopefully something else surfaces today but really they needed something extra today.

The interface can't be that integral to being kept a secret up until now, can it? I mean they have about 2 months to go. This is really starting to get to fans that have been following this for so long. I know I'm not the only one.

The main thing that irked me about the press conference was the whole deal about "hay guyz we made a pink DSLite for girls." - It's just another colour, not something to get all that worked up about. I was half expecting them to start parading around goths for the black DS or something, if you want to get that stereotypical.

Looks like Cnet has the answers we've been looking for http://reviews.cnet.com/4531-10921_7-6630549.html nothing is confirmed as of yet but it looks like Nintendo has some shindig planned for Sept 14 in New York with Reggie at the helm. This looks like the real deal to hold off info passed the 14th would just be crazy.

While the conference was going on last night, I was debating with someone on what would be the ultimate mastubatory announcement Nintendo could ever make.

So we decided on Chrono Break for the Wii. A Chrono announcement would cause a huge ruckus no matter what system, but putting it on the Wii would be the ultimate cluster bomb of fanboy ecstacy.

Just caught the Mario Strikers sequel clip over at IGN and it looks exactly the same as the original. :doh: I was also hoping the gameplay would be tweaked a bit because the first felt a bit rushed. I can already see a few newbs playing online aiming for the power-up goals every other second. :argue:

Hopefully they'll reveal everything we ever wanted to know at Sep. 14th. Seriously, I'm looking for price point, release date, packaging info, etc. It needs to be a giant Wii extravaganza!

If they hold off on the real info past Sep 14th, then I think i'm gonna lose interest all together in the console.

Would you quit whining about the price point and release date?

Christ, we've waited so long for scraps of info. I'm ready to just wait and see what they offer. You'd preserve your sanity if you do the same

The release date isn't gonna be any earlier if they announce it earlier.

All set for whatever. Can't pass up a free game!

The girl behind the counter said it'll probably be good for any game at launch. Probably being the mystery word! Now all I need is for Nintendo to confirm EXCITE TRUCK as a launch title, because EXCITE TRUCK is about BIG DAMN TRUCKS.

That's pretty freaking awsome. I've never really heared of a deal like this before. I could only hope that they'll do something like this in the states.

Zelda, of course.

Are they passing that coupon around right now?

They just had a pile of them in-store underneath a TV that was constantly looping the Smash Bros. Brawl trailer. Must drive the staff insane! Maybe Toys R Us will extend this offer to America, dunnno! =o

Preordered under that offer back in June. Toys R Us are generally good peeples, so I doubt they'd restrict the free title to something like Wii sports- or even worse, a non Wii game.

More Wii news...unfortunately it's very bad news this time:

IGN has separately learned from multiple development sources that Nintendo will not release Wii Wi-Fi Connection libraries to third parties until early 2007, which means that no third party launch title will have an online mode.

So basically...no online games until mid-to-late 2007 (at least from third parties). This also means no online Red Steel, Call of Duty 3, and probably even Crystal Chronicles. Disappointing...to say the very least.

If it's anything like the DS, nobody will be playing third party games onrrrriiiine anyway. ;__;

"I think I'll search for someone to verse in Tony Hawk DS!"
"SEARCHING, PLZ WAIT"
"Ooh"
"SEEEEEEEARCHIIIING, ... PLZ WAIT"
"Ooh!"
"NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD OWNS THIS GAME YOU LOSER"
".. ooh"

Wow.

I... can't believe that.

That's such a profound, unbelievable level of failure that it actually makes me not even want a Wii anymore.
