Title: Tuesdayton!!!! Conference play by play thread
Post by: ThePerm on May 04, 2006, 10:22:57 PM
This is one of those times when we can actually use the -ton prefix and be damn sure it will come true The conference begins in 104 hours. At which time wii will all likely crap our pants.
Predictions based on what we know
Nintendo First Party Smash Bros Revolution, Metroid Prime 3, Pikmin Twii, New Miyamoto IP, PilotWings Games Utilizing the Freehand Red Steal, DragonBall Z, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals, Suda Game, Shinji Mikami Game, Hideo Kojima supervised project, Tony Hawk Downhill Jam, Elebits, Soul Caibur 3: Special Edition, Animal Crossing Nintendo Baseball, Pokemon Wii, Spiderman 3, Star Wars, Sonic, Tiger Woods, Madden, Fifa, NBA, MLB, Rayman, Metal Slug, Mario Paint Games using the Shell Viewtiful Joe 3, Final Fantasy 11
Thats alot of games, but thats still not all of them
I think alot ofthe reason why Nintendeo had such a pathetic e3 last year was so they could have double the e3. I think with alot of thse games playable, alot of reporters and industry people will come out of e3 thinking of one thing the new Nintendo.
wii will be Nintendo's revolution.

Well, I can't wait. I wish we could get a live feed on this from the kodak theater. Are there any live webcasts being done?

Tuesdayton? Nah. This is THE megaton. The one and only.

Nothing's happening, guys. Didn't you hear? Nintendo's failed and gone bankrupt already as a result of the name. None of the games they show can offset that, because there's no way to have fun with them anymore.

104 hours? That's like... 105 too many.

I've already read one out there rumor about getting a free Wii if you buy like four games.
I predict they will be remaking Super Mario Allstars with freakishly lifelike toon graphics, side scrolling, old school music, online multiplayer modes, new power ups, new worlds, and one handed remote control. Oh yeah, and it will be one of the very few and astounding games using the big secret.
I predict we will see various third party characters in SSB, Bandai, Namco, Capcom, SNK, Sega, etc; who knows.
MS will show Halo 3 in target video form and noone will care because Nintendo will have Zelda, Mario, and Metroid playable at their booth; and they will be using a revolutionary interface.
Sony will have nothing exciting for their launch as always.
Nintendo truly only needs to deliver some killer app launch games that use the online well.
I also predict some MMO announcements.

When was this confirmed?
As far as I know, this was a rumor that started from nothing. It's a great idea, but apart from that, nothing else has been said.
Of course, unless you know something I don't.

i would love to get my hands on mario paint, but the 5 or so part series from the 64DD system. mario artist, mario music(?), mario so an so...
i was so hyped on the 64DD when i read about it in nintendo power oh so long ago, and was crushed when i found out it was never going to see the light of day in america (not even sure if it was released in jpn at all). the whole concept was mind blowing.
Title: RE: Tuesdayton!!!! Conference play by play thread
Post by: Ceric on May 05, 2006, 05:47:25 AM
It did have a Japan release EasyCure.
I was thinking it sort of unlikely that we are going to get an honest to God Mario this time. It would eat into the New Super Mario Bros. Unless you could tie the two together. I know it be a sparkling innovation but if The new mario was a uber big traditional 2D Mario, I've already stated I enjoy those more, and has an unlockable that would allow you to pipe the screens from the New Super Mario Bros from you DS to your TV I be game. If the game always uses the 2 screens independently then I would suggest putting them side by side as an option on the TV.
Hopefully this will be the big announcement. So big in fact that Nintendo will have it's own official live feed and recorded feed. (With all the money there spending if rumor is right I put it on Cable TV.)
But we all know that the Secret is the NHS and that Nintendo has Genetically Engineered Pet Yoshis. It's so obvious. ;-)

if i could get mario paint on wii AND a red baby yoshi as a pet, this would be the best year ever. period

I've been proven wrong. I'm sure that Koopa Troopa has the same shell abilities as a living breathing one. (I get one if it was like a 1/3 the price)

Not on these boards. Perhaps the general public. I would buy a Nintendo bean bag as my next console over MS or Sony.

Oh someone Mentioned FF11. I have an account. I would really like it if they ported it over and gave it Wii Controls to make it distinctive from the other versions.
But I'm hoping for an MMORPG that really takes advantage of the controller. Especially in crafting.

Predictions.
Title: RE:Tuesdayton!!!! Conference play by play thread
Post by: joedick on May 05, 2006, 09:12:57 AM
huh? VJ3 and FF11? Has there been an announcement for either of these games (or even a rumor)?
Title: RE:Tuesdayton!!!! Conference play by play thread
Post by: ThePerm on May 05, 2006, 09:33:04 AM
they are predictions, I mean. They are fairly logical. FF11 on xbox 360 is a ps2/pc port. Wii can handle it. Also, Viewtiful Joe 3, because capcom will continually whore the franchise that was one one of the Capcom five.
Mario Paint..or stage debut. They have been working on stage debut for 2 generations. You would think that by the time revolution comes out..then it will finaly be done.
Title: RE: Tuesdayton!!!! Conference play by play thread
Post by: Stimutacs Addict on May 05, 2006, 09:53:19 AM
the revolutionary feature will be something related to the controller: each person will be encouraged to have their own Wiimote. It can be personalized (somehow) and will save your statistics for every game

How would FF11 handle without a hard drive? Maybe they'd bundle it with an overpriced USB2 drive?

anyway. i want games. i want wii.
funny story about new name: i was telling one of ps2 friends while passing the peace pipe about how the new system is called wii. and he starts laughing a lot, so i'm like damn, i didn't think it was that funny, must be the pipe. then he's like no, remember we used to call weed, weee. lol, then we both just started laughing about it uncontrollably. ahh, where's the wee yo! now i can say it again, although differently. Where's the Wii yo!

Pretty sure they just forwarded people to the Gamespot cast or something last year.

Awww, i was beaten in starting this thread, I didn't expect it to pop up this early. :P
79 hours to go! It's gonna get confusing in here during the event, a page will go by every minute and less than 5% of the posts will be coherent. There shouldn't be a problem finding a live steam of the conference, as both Gamespot and Gametrailers are offering freelive streams. Gametrailers also has the conference going from 9:30am to 11:30am, can anyone confirm that it's really two hours? That'd be awesome, but I doubt it since the last few years have never been over an hour.

I've never been to Randalls Island, wait yeah i have, just not for a concert. I'd never encourage anyone under the age of 18 to do anything, unless of course they're hot and 17 I hate all you people who are going to be able to watch the live feed, I don't have the luxury of staying home, or working in an office. oh well, i plan on watching it when i get home, then trying to read a few posts here, when things get bigger than i'm willing to dedicate a lot of time to there are a few posters who i just read their threads only to get the gist of whats been going on. You guys better stay coherent!

Don't hate us cuz we're beautiful. *does obnoxiously cute blink*
Mario - It could be two hours seeing as how Nintendo is going all out. Plus, how long do you think it'll take for that lucky kid to play the Wii? I bet that whole ceremony takes at least 20 minutes.
Kairon - Oxygen high?! WTF? I remember when my international relations teacher whipped out a bong. Then the next day, whipped out a poppy seed plant.
He's was always talkin about the beast.....and how it was inside his head....
Fun class!

thats crazy dude. my art teacher senior year would take his 'special herbal medication' before school started sometimes and since i had him 2nd period every other day i could tell what kind of state of mind he was in. it was so obvious im sure the entire staff new, and just didnt care.
the best part about it was if my friend and i would bring our guitars in we'd just jam while he "made" the rest of the class do their art projects. that guy was so cool.

I had a science teacher in high school who went to great lengths to explain the nature of addicition, and how pot was better than most other drugs because it wasn't addictive.
When a bong was found, he then went to great lengths to convince us he didn't actually do that stuff, and that the bong was just a novelty gift.
Anyway. my prediction for the conference: Pokemon Snap. You all know you want it.

I'm not as excited as usual for some reason.
I guess I'm really down on the name. Which is really shallow. But we get made fun of enough for being Nintendo fans. Now we're...Wii fans. I dunno. Nintendo's really going to have to amaze me tomorrow if they want me to purchase a Wii.
I hope they announce a name change-back tomorrow. I hope to God.
But uh...yeah. I guess I'm really excited about what we see with Twilight Princess. Stuff they've been telling us during this huge screenshot-drought makes me think some major, major changes have been made while we're not looking.

If you are playing games based on what other people think of you, you are playing games for the wrong reason.

Quote I hope they announce a name change-back tomorrow. I hope to God.
Having an article printed in Time is the best proof yet that the name Wii is not a publicity stunt. It wasn't at all likely before that, either. It's slightly more possible that continuous negative opinions about the name in the mainstream press will convince them to change it before release, but it would take a massive outpouring of hate for that to happen, the kind of hate that the mainstream press simply cannot generate about something as ultimately ridiculous as video games.
