Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

The games i'm most looking forward to seeing right now are

- SUPER SMASH BROS

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hahaha, well yeah I agree with RAB, and i'd like Camelot to drop that RPG and give me more Mario Tennis goodness. Rev will need a tennis game, and / or a ping pong game... give me a handball game too, heck Curveball would work really well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah... well people were asking the same questions about them back in 2002, I don't expect anything from them any time soon, if ever.

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

It is said that Yuji Naka left wherever he was at Sega to start a new dev that's still under Segas wing, and they are working on this new NiGHTS game.

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

Konami announces Elebits, exclusively for Nintendo Revolution. The game is produced by Shingo Mukaitouge, who worked on Guitar Freaks. You hunt cute pikmin-like creatures called Elebits (electricity bits) - energy sources that make the world move. You'll be able to find them by moving things in the game world. As you capture the Elebits, the world evolves.

According to Konami, the game will make you make you feel like you are touching the inside of the screen, and wouldn't be possible with exisiting controllers.

Madden Revolution - Brand New Game

Interesting interview where it's revealed that EA has set up an entirely new studio to make exclusive Revolution games.

Most amazing jew boots

It's big news because they are actually making a new version of it!

Wii is hilarious. I don't know if it's in a good way or a bad way yet, but i'm laughing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You must admit that it not only fits Nintendo's strategy, but whether or not you like it, people will talk about it.

I agree, it's lighthearted and I really hope they make fun of it themselves in the North American marketing, like having urinal demo stations and such.

"It's good to wii together"

FELIPE NO

... and it's only just the beginning.

Miyamoto and Iwata have hinted at a final secret for Wii that has yet to be revealed. And while we're sworn to secrecy, 1UP knows what this secret is -- and it's rather revolutionary. In fact, it's perhaps the most intriguing element of the system -- something with some rather cool implications for gaming. Let's just say that people have more to look forward to at E3.

EDIT: Heh, they slightly edited that part, looks like they said more than they were supposed to.

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

That was also mentioned in the same article, so even if that turns out to be true, it's not the big remaining secret.

Hopefully the competitors do use it, so Wii gets even more attention.

In addition, it somewhat defeats the entire purpose of the Revolution controller since there wouldn't be a NEED for a motion-sensing device when the system could simply read your movements through the camera.

A camera can't accurately pick up 3d movement.

First person games wont be a major focus thanks to one word, Japan.

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

Whoops.

It's because first person games don't sell in Japan. Even Metroid Prime flopped over there.

I was speaking idiomatically.
