[Multiplatform] E3 Nintendo Conference

The Nintendo E3 Conference just ended. And hopefully most of you all just finished watching it live from Gamespot, IGN, or Kotaku and just got a wonderful blast of videogame news and revelations. This thread is for the discussion of things that occurred during the conference. Yes, you may go and create a thread for Wii Fit and other games showed in the conference (that don't already have threads) and you may talk about these in the Official Wii thread (once I've made it)

So how about that! 3 new Wii devices. A balance unit for Wii Fit that opens up a whole mess of possibilities. The Wii Zapper has gone from a shotgun design to a shell for your Wii Controller and Nunchuk which is genius. I honestly think it should only cost 10 bucks but I'll still buy a second one for 20. And I wonder how the wheel for Mario Kart will be different from that attachment that Ubisoft made. I'm really liking what Nintendo is doing to expand the Wii.

The dates for games are great as well. We're going to finally be getting the games we were promised and more come this final quarter. Blow off the dust on your Wii.

I didn't like the bit that Reggie did about Nintendo not being serious about online gaming though. He didn't address the chief complaint which is Friend Codes. People don't like them. I was really really really hoping for a Friends Channel or something to address this. The download and show off your Miis channel is nice and I'll use it but the Friend Codes issue is still here. Online still isn't as solid AS IT SHOULD BE, Reggie.

So other than that, this was a rather solid conference. I hope you all got a lot out of it. Discuss away! =D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes, I will be looking for that. I want it. Badly.

In the meantime I will look for some links and play-by-play write ups.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Rock, I agree that they were spouting lots of NPD etc. nonsense but they did a nice enough job keeping me entertained through that. Youtube video and media scrounging was pretty lol. Anyway the big new game that we had an idea about was Wii Fit. We all expected Mario Kart. It's good they're putting a nice focus over-all on it being online but if it's Friend Codes it's gonna lose some points. As much as I like facing random people the snakers and drop-outs for the DS game really ruined it for me. But yes Wii Fit is pretty exciting. That balance device is going to be a crazy hit mainstream and the off-shoot games that could use it is making my imagination go nuts! We also didn't know about the Zapper being used in Umbrella Chronicles. I think that's pretty awesome and I really look forward to it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Rock, if you really want then fine. Honestly, I created this thread for the Nintendo conference and the Microsoft conference was yesterday and the Sony conference is already being held in the PS3 thread.

I made a thread like this last year and probably the year before that for the Nintendo Conference. It's kind of a tradition. And honestly what are you going to talk about in here on the Sony conference other than Metal Gear was pretty bad ass and lol Chewy is doing product placement. It was a good conference but I honestly didn't get much out of it other than Sony showed some trailers of some games we were expecting and they didn't screw it up royally this year. Hell, I'd be more inclined to discuss Sony's conference if they had let the memes out like they did last year.

I was speaking idiomatically.

lols 5 minutes until my e32006 is finished ='D

Additional Spam:
lol actually it was the nintendo press event from last fall where they announced the price, release date, etc. It's kind of interesting but whatever.

God, I wish these assholes would let you download it and not stream it. So lame.

Most amazing jew boots

Guys, I'm downloading the conference from Gamespot. It's for real this time lolz.

But oh god it's a freaking gig. I dunno if I'll be able to upload this anywhere.

You can go make a free gamespot account and download it with their download manager (not spyware as far as I know and you can uninstall it after you're done if you want). I might send it to Lukage because he said he has webspace to burn if he doesn't want to download it himself.

FELIPE NO

looool is that the same user/pass as last year? ='D

awesome find CHz~ <3

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hotobut, I think you're confused on how the motion sensing works. With the zapper you have two points of motion firmly set in place that developers can rely on. Try thinking of holding a shotgun. Move your hands like you were reloading it over your shoulder. Your hands will stay in a constant distance from each other while doing so for the most part. Now think of where the Wii controller and the nunchuk will be. Tracking that allows for a lot of new motions and positions and positioning. With this you can effectively pull off a Master Chief melee attack with a gun to your opponent's face. You can do a pumping of a shotgun by well doing a bit of a back and forth movement or something similar. With a bit of on-screen calibration you could finally have a line of sight shooting. The zapper is well thought out. I don't agree with its individual pricing of $20 since it really is a fancy plastic shell but perhaps if they're selling a really good compilation shooting game with Duck Hunt with it I could pick it up for 20 bucks.

I guess you guys haven't looked at the Wiil yet. There's a specific hole for the strap to stick out of. It's pretty slick. There's also a hole for the IR sensor to go through in case you still needed to point at the screen. The break button is big enough to press on the B trigger as well. It's a nice shell and it comes for free with the game so whatever.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah... I should probably get around to doing that thread thingy.

I hope they keep doing these updates regularly. It was a long time coming since the last one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Okay guys closing this thread.

Go help me make that Wii thread version 2! =D
