Nintendo Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

Kid Icarus!!!

Actually, I've never played the game, but what better way to introduce him to me by giving the guy a "New" generation facelift!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My first live-feed viewing. Awww....

Thank god I'm in Uni now. I have class at 1pm tomorrow!!! Gives me the perfect excuse to stay up to 3am ^_^.

Most amazing jew boots

ZOMG waited one year for this damn day.

Wiiva la Revolution!!!

Zelda TP, DS games, Wii info and some more name-taking and ass-kicking.

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

Seeing how underwhelming the Sony conference was, I think there's a chance I might convert to fanboyism!!!

Seriously, screw this being unbiased gamer thing. If Nintendo steal the show and then dominate the market by the end of next year then I'll go fanboy (like back in the SNES days).

WIIII!!!!

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

Does the Wiimote even NEED tilt?

I thought the gyroscopic technology dealt with that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Reckon Microsoft will have a good presentation? Yeh, they've got less elements of surprise now but you never know...

They were basically laughing manically after Sony's conference.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Give me news on Mario 128!!! What ever happened to the hype for that game?

EDIT: Damn straight NovaX. First time watching live-feed :biggrin:

FELIPE NO

Still, Wii seems to be the most entertaining of them all...

Some of the things they announced weren't taken to well by many. Price, conservative approach to controller, (unnecessary?) tilt-function etc.

Plus there wasn't a fountain of games to drool over or have wet-dreams about. Or something like that ^_^.

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

Hang in there guys!!! (actually, this applies to me more. Gotta stay calm!!!)

Nay for Miyamoto in Zelda dress!!! Dude noooooooo!!!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Testing screen is gone. No more posts for me until after *i promise*!!!

How ya doing, buddy?

OMG did I see an American version of what looked like Osu???

SOLD

*CANNOT UNDERSTAND IWATA*

Guess I'll wait for transcript tomorrow

Most amazing jew boots

Brilliant, but could've said and done more.

That said, I'm going to sleep guys. Bloody 3.41am over here.

I was speaking idiomatically.

w00!!! Although the conference was a bit shallow (expected the MOA Shows), the vids, screenshots and info on the games from tomorrow onwards will own us all.

See you tomorrow :biggrin:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sigh...

Wii kicks serious arse and the potential of the console is mind-boggling, but the FRICKING media (well, the newspapers I've been reading) doesn't seem to take note or even look at what Nintendo have been doing.

[HERALD SUN - The Australian (Melbourne) Tabloid Newspaper]
-Around 15 paragraphs. 6 to X360, 5 to PS3, 2 to Wii.
To add to the injury, some "professional" had a say in Nintendo's plan, "Although the Wii will have a lot of features, the PS3 will still lead because it simply looks better in terms of graphics." What kind of F**ker is that? Hasn't she seen the DS?

[THE AGE - The Australian (Melbourne) Spreadsheet Newspaper]
-Around 38 paragraphs. 12 to X360, 12 to PS3, 11 to Wii
A bit better, a bit more unbiased, but have a look at the "Best of E3"!! Assassin's Creed (PS3), Viva (Pinata), Crackdown (360) and Crysis (PC). They included Mario Galaxy and Spore, two games in which I would agree with but most of it were games to do with extreme violence. WTH!!!

[MX - The Australian (Melbourne) Free Tabloid Newspaper]
-Around 12 paragraphs. 5 to X360, 5 to PS3, 2 to Wii
The title is "Nintendo, Wii Love It"... But what's this? Only two paragraphs and a photo of Shiggy playing Steven Spielberg in Wii Sports? Bleh. And then the rest of it talks about the upcoming games on X360 and PS3, almost all of which are violent or "Mature".

Why so much bias? There were as much things to talk about in the Nintendo section as there were in Sony's and Microsoft's.

FELIPE NO

All Nintendo need to do is penetrate the European markets. They're pretty good in Japan and America, but over here people are all about Xbox360

(Magazine interview)
"Screw the PS3 cause xbox360 is cool".
"Why?".
"It's just cool."
"What about Nintendo's new console?"
"Who?"

"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"

"Innovative controller"?
And then there was Herald Sun (Melbourne, Australia):

"Sony unveiled its innovative motion controller... Nintendo also followed Sony and has implemented its own motion controller."

GET THE F***en facts right! The Wii controller was shown a year ago!!!

Most amazing jew boots

OMG that old granny from the second letter needs to try before she replies... You interact with other humans with multiplayer (as Luxo said) and Wii's multiplayer games seem to be able to emphasise that. What a luddite. My girlfriend's grandma's view on videogames changed when I showed her Brain Training... Must we make games like that just to show the world what games are all about (not that there's anything wrong with that, but is this the only way to get it through to their heads that games aren't anti-social anymore)?

As for the girl issue, head over to (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/ge...ust-boys.html).

But at least Time is giving attention to Wii. Every other printed media that I know off brushed it off like a fly in their "E3 specials".

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wonder what that small "eye" is for. In the comments of the news it has been speculated that it might be a camera or a projector. What do you think? My guess is that it's a device to project 3D things into your room.

I posted about the 3D projection somehwere in the thread but I'll remind people again, IGN wrote a few months back about their theories on Wii's secret features, and there was one part of the rumour that included filmmakers commenting that they knew of one console that would use 3D projection. Put two and two together........

I noe I noe it's IGN but here's some food for thought.

Oh, and I'm starting to loathe the inevitable use of a house-symbol for "home". Bring back the simple blue dot(!)


I just made this thread go into even more trivial tidbits

Skinnied, fattened and slimmed, but apparently they're STILL throwing ideas around. Oh dear. Bring it out by Oct/Nov this year Nintendo!

On a brighter note, it's great to see NOAustralia garnering Wii attention. Saw a few ads and deals from Toys R' Us and other SMALLER GAME STORES (unlike EB). Screw you EB, where's my Wii? PS3 in November WOOPDEDOO.

"I saw a few stores getting ready to campaign for the Nintendo Wii. What about you guys? Any word on the release date?"
"What's the Wii?"
"... Uh... The new name for the upcoming Nintendo Revolution."
"Oh must be just recently cause we've never heard of it before."
"Toys R' Us did. Video Gaming Heaven did."
"Um... Okay. For the time being though, you should check out PS3 over there..."

And finally to clear things up, I've read all the posts about it here but is it that both the Wii-mote and the nunchuck add-on have motion sensors? IS it that the Wii-mote has gyroscopic technology whereas the nunchuck only has tilt sensor? I need some clarification for my own sanity -_-'.

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