Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

He's telling you the Japanese dont like first person games.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm quite sure he's calling Asians 3rd persons. That would explain why they seem to love RPGs and side-scrollers and such rather than our love for the FPS games. I'm still calling his bluff on that.

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

Oh I see so it was a joke? LOL oh wait no.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whoops.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

First screenshots of "Sadness" trailer emerged. Wether they use real actors for the FMV OR this is just part of the trailer OR Wii has specs that make the other next-gen consoles look like crap.

Picture 3 bothers me a little. Why would Nibris release a 1280x720 ingame screenshot if the Wii doesn't have HDTV?
OK, Nintendo did the same with "Twilight Princess" for GameCube but still...

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

Metroid Prime kind of sucked no matter where you live though, but you're right, they don't like first person games. But neither do I (at least on consoles), so that's okay by me. =D

I really hope that Sadness isn't all "7th Guest"-FMV like the first two screenshots suggest, cause even though I loved that game, it's 2006 now and we've passed that station around 1994. I do really like the style of the third screenshot though, although I'm not sure what's happening there... Looks exciting anyway!

I am really hoping that a Wii version of Metronome will be announced, cause I've been excited about that game anyway, and I think the Wii controller can really add something to it.

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

Fixed.

I refused to play Prime for two years, saying that it was horrible because Metroid should never be 3D. Then I played the game, and I must say that as far as Metroid goes, Prime 1 and 2 are second only to Metroid III.

- WraithTwo -

EDIT: There, really fixed. And I agree, sorry for bringing up a stupid debate of taste. I'll stop now

I was speaking idiomatically.

You didn't fix it properly! I think you meant to put "ruled" or whatever there. Anyway, you're wrong. But let's not get into the debate of whether Metroid Prime sucks or not. (To its credit, MP2 is probably the best first person shooter on a console. Not saying much, but it's something.)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Uhh, ok, the first two shots are just a person supposedly playing the game, the third shot looks like a photoshop job on some artwork (you can even tell what filter they used if you've used the program...), and the fourth is, well, a generic logo. I'm starting to wonder if they even have a game yet, it seems like everything that's been shown for it is just concept stuff.

FELIPE NO

Wii don't have to wait that long anymore.

4-5 (depending on the time you read this) days till the Revolution!

Didn't notice the person is holding something in the first picture. Well, at first I also though of 7th Guest with its incredibly hilarious FMVs - but that's most likely ruled out now, I guess.
An actual trailer is said to be released on the first E3 day, May 10th.

And boy, am I excited about the press conference. Hope the live stream servers don't break down like last year.

Most amazing jew boots

May 9th is the press conference. And FFS, don't tell people where to watch it live. I don't want CR to crash.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You guys have done fairly well in this thread. Nintendo Conference is coming up soon so I'm closing this thread to make way for the Pre-E3 Wii thread. Read the first post and follow the rules or get lost. Enjoy. =)

CLICK!
