Nintendo Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

I'm loving all these vids from the Wii, I can't wait to get my hands on one. Something that struck me like a bolt of lightning though wasn't something from Reggie or Miyamoto but something my dad said. I just showed him one of those promo videos that I thought was great and said something like, 'maybe you could get into games too' and started telling him abouts all the cool innovations that the Wii has. He said to me 'yeh ok, is there a formula one game?'. I checked it out and it doesn't have one announced yet but ofcourse the PS3 does. That got me to thinking that although gamers like me who have grown up with every nintendo system think these innovations are great for games they still might not appeal to those new gamers that nintendo wants to pull in. I guess it's like how although ipods and other mp3 players are pretty cool, some people might just like sitting back and listening to a vinyl (not quite the same but it will do)

One last thing. Did anyone in Sydney see Ten news at 5 today because they showed the 'must have' Christmas toy this year, the PS3. It had some guy on there saying that play with joysticks was old school, and motion sensing was all new and awesome. I think that Nintendo will need some pretty leet marketting to combat with this free press that Sony's getting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
