Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

2) "normal people". My mom loves the DS, and so does my dad. They also do not see the difference between Oblivion and current-gen games, except when I specifically point out what to look for. They will love the directness of the games, and the price of the console will be such that they won't feel bad about buying it.

And of course Japanese people. It kind of goes without saying. =D

I also think it will appeal to trendy kids. I mean, it looks iPodish, right? The only reason why people have iPods is because it's sleek and trendy. Parents will agree with the price too, or so it seems.

I agree with #2. My girlfriend's sister borrowed my DS. My girlfriend used to rag on me for it, saying she hated it. It seems like now my girlfriend plays it more than her sister, and even her Dad took the DS from her and started playing it. To be honest, all in all, if the DS was really just a "test drive" affair for the Revolution, Nintendo's got it right. Sales show this and people's opinions/reviews show this. I've yet to meet someone with a DS who DOESNT love it.

What I mostly want to find out is how they are going to make the controls work. I wonder if this is going to be a launch title? Development was started only recently, will it be playable at E3? Perhaps they'll just show a trailer showcasing all the characters / stages / what the game is like etc.

- NEW GRASSHOPPER GAME

Gouichi Suda of Grasshopper promises this game will "exceed Killer 7" and Killer 7 is fucking awesome. It's also going to make full use of the Revolution controller, I think with the way Grasshopper design games it could really benefit from taking full advantage of the Revolutions features.

- New Tokyo EAD game (DK Rev?)

The makers of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat have been quiet for over a year, they have to have something in store for Revolution, and it could be a launch title. DKJB is my favourite game of all time so I'm obviously excited for this.

But most of all i'm looking forward to all the surprises.

We're going to see Miyamotos brand new franchise at E3, hopefully that's going to be something really special.

Don't forget, if we're going by announced games...
Camelot is making an RPG for the Revolution unnamed as of yet...

How ya doing, buddy?

"Nintendo's Senior Vice President of Marketing and Elaborate Pie Charts, George Harrison, has stated (via an upcoming issue of Game Informer) that the Revolution will launch later this year with 20 games, a third of which will be Nintendo first-party titles."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But then again, there have been some funky quotes taken from George Harrison before. Like the Virtual Console games being free. That was apparently taken the wrong way by the media, but he might be doing the same thing again.

He said at launch, which could mean launch WINDOW as well, not launch day.
But, you are right.

Either way, still looking better than 360's lineup/launch.
