Nintendo Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

Wow, i stop reading this thread for like two days, and it takes an hour and a half to catch up.

I'm already dreaming about the day i can pick up my very own Wii (o man, so possible ways to twist that sentence). I'm really hoping and praying that the Canadian doller remains this strong until after the Wii launch, i really wanna pay something like 270 for the console.

I think soon after i come into some money i'm gonna go out and buy at least two new gamecube controllers, and not open them until the day i open my Wii box. Mine are wearing out pretty quick, and i really want to be able to play GC games long into the future. It's what i should've done with 64. I only have one working 64 controller, and it's on it's on it's last legs (a friend i loaned it to spilled juice on it or something, and the B and right C buttons are sticky to the max).

I hope we can save our files to GC memory cards. I just bought one of those new fangled 1019's, i doubt i'll ever need another memory card again if what i hope prooves true.

I've already started making a prioritized list as to which games i need to get early on, and which ones can wait. The depending on factual prices, i can determine which ones get the boot. A little early i know, but whatever, i need something to do.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That just bothers me, that newspapers would state that Sony had the motion controller idea first. It's not true, did they do any fact checking? or did they get paid off.

In Canada, we won't see any evidence of video games in the press until all the consoles are within about two weeks of release. I remember when Xbox and Gamecube came about, it was the first time i'd ever seen anything about the PS2 in any Winnipeg newspaper. They were running a comparison article, stating everything there was to each of the three consoles. It was surprisingly unbiased. I hope they don't muck up this time around, and shit all over nintendo.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I never thought it could happen, but i think i might end up back into pokemon. I figured after Gold and Silver i was done, and out grown them. But latley i've been itching for some poke action, and new stuff. I think i'm going to have to invest in Pokemon Battle Revolution, and potentially Diamond and Pearl.

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