Pre-E3 Wii thread

If I were the Nintendo conference planner...

1) Reggie raps on stage about Nintendo's Blue Ocean Strategy and Disruption Philosophy.
2) In comes the DS trailers.
3) Iwata-san explains some of the games. And some DS dates.
4) George Harrison talks about the successes of Nintendo and stuff (the numbers and stats).
5) Aonuma-san reveals more Zelda TP stuff and releases final trailer and date.
6) Miyamoto speech before....

7) THE FRENCH "Wii!" REVOLUTION (okay, I'm gonnna get stoned one day for all these puns I'm making). The Download service name turns out to be Nintendo "Go", price, release date, worldwide (2 weeks maximum difference), final secrets and finally TRAILERS!!!

8) Reggie invites 3rd party guys to come up. Trailers. Each director/producer talks about game for 30 seconds.

9) End of the show... or is it?

10) Gameboy CUBED!!!

Anyone want to take a punt on this guess?

Most amazing jew boots

I never LOVED him, in actual fact. But everyone else seems to. Why not use him? And plus, he has an enigma that engages the audience.

Any guesses at the "still-to-be-annouced" Wii secret?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No. Leave that for PC.

What we would want more is for consoles to survive longer than the 5-year cycle they always seem to go through!!! I mean, my girlfriend brought her GCN days before the Revolution was announced in E3 2005. Was she pissed to find out it could play GCN games!

Adopt something along the lines of Sony. 10-year longevity for the consoles.

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

"Virtual boy-ish" head sensor? Hmm...

If I remember correctly, IGN speculated one time that they interviewed some filmmakers about some new thing there a picture would be presented in 3D, like for example, watching a movie in the room and the picture fills up the room. And apparently one member of the conference made a comment that,

HE KNEW OF ONE GAMING CONSOLE THAT WOULD USE THIS TECHNOLOGY.

Ah I love pre-e3. I can write anything and its legitamite (until Nintendo proves me wrong on Tuesday). Even stuff from IGN.

Am I the only one who took note of that article when it came out?

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

Good signs. 3rd party games as big as Call of Duty on Wii helps the future look brighter. GIVE US MORE!!!

(Oh shit! Did the clock stop?!! NOO!!! E3's still 2 days awaaaay!!!)

DOUBLE POST:
Oh man, I'm looking around other forums and hardly anyone likes the Wii name! Bloody, non-imaginative and cowardly conservatists!!! Why does no one think the name is cool? Wii! Short and simple.

And it affects people. No one's sat down and said, "Oh, it's Nintendo Eclipse. Cool. Next." Everyone's been like WTOMGF?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Now, if only the movie had a scene where Tom Cruise uses the Wii controller to blow up Iraq, it'll sell like hotcakes (presuming people overlook the fact that Tom Cruise is the one doing it).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As long as they play their cards right, then Nintendo should at least be able to sweep back to second place. Goodon!

What to I mean by the right cards? AAA First-Party games. AAA third party support. Tap into the non-gamer market. Appeal to hardcore fans by making games that really exemplify the meaning, "Revolution". DS-Wii compatibility to be more versitile than the GBA-GCN connection. Simple but deep online capabilities. Cheap. CLEVER MARKETING (actually, make that MORE marketing). More new IP. More balanced range in general and mature games. Taking old franchises and smacking them into the "new generation" (as the 64 did for Mario and Zelda).

If they're doing what they're doing for the DS, then no doubt Nintendo can pick themselves up again.

EDIT: Oh, and more exclusives. Pay your way through this generation, Nintendo!

FELIPE NO

For reasons why Sony's "motion sensor" won't work, head over to the wonderful (sarcasm) guys at IGN:

http://revolution.ign.com/articles/705/705870p1.html

Though most of what they say is quite true. How could you hold a controller and be able to swing it? People complaining about having to move with a Wiimote won't have to scapegoat it anymore.

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

They have similarities, but the Wii controller actually senses movement in 3d space whereas the PS3 controller senses tilt. Both will work for some things, while other things would require the full motion detection of the Wii controller.

Edit: wow, is it almost time for Nintendo's conference already? Maybe I should stay up for it anyway. Oh, and I'm absolutely terrible with time zones...what time does it start in Central Standard Time?

I didn't say won't work as in disfunctional, I'm saying it as compared to Wii, the tilt function of the PS3 controller is rather superfluous. Didn't need to sacrifice many things just to make a tilt-able controller (which'll probably come off as a secondary thing) such as the rumble.

DOUBLE POST: To keep to the thread though, here;s hoping a revival of Kid Icarus or a brand new IP altogether.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Isn't this thread closed yet?

Well as long as it's open I suggest a "what's the surprise this year" game until 15mins before the conference. Maybe?

The next Game Boy ^_^.

How ya doing, buddy?

1hrs 25mins and 30seconds according to Gamespot.

New guess: Nintendo to announce 3D projection when playing Wii.

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