Nintendo Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

I'll be here.~ So close. SO CLOSE. If there's no Pilotwings game, I'll cry. A secret manly tear.
Can't wait to see all the Iwata photos this years conference will spawn!

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm surprised GameSpot's stream has already started. I mean, it's just a logo and some doof doof, but hey. HEY HEY. Navi confirmed for Wii.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Maybe they have a Wii Rave Party!

Reggie sneaks into the E3 supply room the day before to take all the name (tags), when everyone complains, he kicks them right into outta space. Then he goes and plays a few rounds of Smash Bros, as Donkey Kong. He wins simply with DK's taunt. Somehow. Nobody dares question his mystery winning ways.

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

Nup, the background buzz has been going forever.

Most amazing jew boots

Holy shit, that racing game looked fucking fantastic. =o

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh my God, Yoshi's Island 2. <3 <3 And Iwata made a confusing entrance, which is awesome, because he's Iwata and it's IWATA TIME.

FELIPE NO

Probably a stunt double that was too scared to do the IWATA TIME stunt.

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

Hmmm, no price or launch date mentioned. AND DID I SEE A GLIMPSE OF A PILOTWINGS GAME GUYS? I SAW SOMETHING. LIKE PILOTWINGS. Did I see Pilotwings? ;__;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

TOP VIDEO, SURPRISE. New Paper Mario game for GameCube OUT OF NOWHERE.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Starfox ahoooy.

Oh. =x
I do hope there's still a Pilotwings game in super secret development. I guess I have to get Wii Sports when I get a Wii now. HAVE TO. Flying a plane into a mountain is an extreme sport!

Also some Virtual Console in action shooots are appearing on the internet!

ExciteTruck does not belong in the same sentence as Dragonball Z. The BIG DAMN TRUCK racer is shaping up to be the best over-the-top arcade racer since San Francisco Rush.

Yes, DBZ and Cars did look like complete rubbish. They're ported clown meat filler for the launch, every console has them. 'Sup GUN for Xbox 360, Ridge Racer for DS, other example here, RC Revenge for PS2.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh my.

While speaking with Hudson Soft today, IGN learned that the company will bring upwards of 100 titles to Nintendo's Virtual Console. As developer of such classics as Lode Runner, Bomberman, and Bonk, this news is huge for fans of games long past. But that's not all, the news gets even bigger.

Quote:

Hudson Soft is currently attempting to acquire rights to other third party games to release on the Virtual Console, the company revealed to IGN on Thursday. Developers who no longer exist as actual companies could still see their games make the way to Nintendo's system for downloading. According to one Hudson Soft representative, they "have every single one of [their] lawyers checking into it."

Quote:

Currently, Bonk's Adventure from the Turbografx is the only actual title announced from the company, and is available to play at Nintendo's E3 booth. Hudson seems to be looking for feedback from gamers on what titles they'd like to see though. IGN was quick to suggest Adventure Island, the classic released on the NES. A knowing smile and "that is important for us to know, thank you," was our reply (so if Adventure Island shows up on the VC, you may thank us personally).

Bob's House of Hardware

I will need ALL THE BONK/B.C KID GAMES and Super Bomberman 3 thanks Hudson.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha nice, Kaplen actually made sure to include Australia when Matt asked about the Worldwide launch. <3

Oh okay, you are obviously someone in the know. A Mr. Nintendo, even.

FELIPE NO

Time for a random post in this thread. Although it wasn't playable at E3, there's a trailer of Super Swing Pangya Golf up now.


hello kasumi =x

Are you seriously trying to say that all the first party games on every single system aren't worth playing? That the games that the likes of Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony PUBLISH also aren't worth playing? So let's go back to 1996, Super Mario 64 is shit because it's a Nintendo game, okay. Better buy that Nintendo 64 for War Gods and Hexen 64. Who needs Daytona USA 2001 when there's Speed Devils? Metal Gear Solid 4? Uh oh, that has a very good chance of being published by Sony. That means it'll automatically not be worth playing. Can't wait to get Spongebob Squarepants on Xbox 360, that'll be much better than Halo 3.

THAT'S your demented excuse to finally give in to the fact that Nintendo isn't going to charge $60 for their Wii games? How many times did Acer even need to TELL YOU?

DUDE.... if they considerewordswordswords Wii a thread, a console capable of stealing the lidership of the console market or even to rwordseduce their own share they would bash it all the possible weak points and even if the console had no weak point they would eithwordswordswordser make up some or never mention it.
If they openly say the Wii will take the 2nd placewords is because they have absolutely no fear from it, and means they somehow know the market share of Wii will be swordwordswordsomething ridiculous... I for one don't like this because it will reduce competition but that's where it seems to be heading.

THERE ARE THREE CONSOLES. MICROSOFT AND SONY BOTH ADMITTING CONSUMERS WILL PICK UP A WII ALONG WITH AN XBOX 360 OR A PLAYSTATION 3 IS HARDLY DOOM AND GLOOM. PERHAPS IF THEY SAID THE WII WAS A BIG BAG OF DOG SHIT AND CONSUMERS WOULD SPIT ON THEM IN STORE BEFORE SETTING THEM ON FIRE AND PLACING THEM ON A DOORSTEP, THEN YES, THAT WOULD BE BAD.

You don't need to be a 'fanboy' to know that Nintendo and Rare were in bed together for years. You seem to know less about what you're talking about in regards to gaming than the average garden hose. Except they at least don't try and pass everything off as fact.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, the 'Connect' section of Sydney's Daily Telegraph did a pretty good write-up about the Wii. But they've always been pretty fair with all three consoles. Channel 7 news still wins for mainstream E3 coverage though.

"E3 IS THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN NEW EXCITING COMPUTER VIDEO GAMES APPEAR"
"SONY AND MICROSOFT HAVE NEW GAMING SYSTEMS, SONY SHOCKED EVERYONE WITH ITS INNOVATIVE VIRTUAL REALITY PLAYSTATION 3 CONTROLLER"
"HALO 3 IS SET TO TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM WHEN IT LAUNCHES NEXT MONTH"
"NINTENDO HAS A NEW MARIO GAME"

*Footage of Wii Sports*

"HERE IS A GAME FROM AN AUSTRALIAN DEVELOPER FOR PC"

*Awful unplayable mess on screen for about five minutes*

"AND THAT ABOUT WRAPS UP WHAT'S BEEN GOING DOWN THIS YEAR"

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

Yeah, the Aussie Toys R Us are giving away a free game with the Wii if you pre-order now, which is pretty awesome.

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

If it includes that WiiSports Airplane, then that'd do!
"THIRTY SECOND TIME LIMIT"

Then Iwata appears on screen, laughing.
