Episode 60 Part 1: Bee Suit is the new Tanooki
My name is Mike, and I'm... happy.
It's E3!!! The yearly media mega-storm that we await has finally arrived. In this episode, Mike and Karl give you a brief rundown of Nintendo's big press conference. What, exactly, does this entail?
- Mario Dressed as a Bumblebee
- The Official Nintendo
piece of plasticWii Zapper! - Wii Fit - The Ultimate Workout Non-Game
- Mario Kart Wii - Online Battle Mode!
- and more!
This is a short episode, and showcases our short-form E3 style podcasting. We recorded this sucker today, skipped the usual three days of editing, and put it into your ears as fast as we could. Keep checking Nintendo World Report (or better yet, subscribe to the podcast in iTunes), because we'll be posting more bonus straight-from-the-big-show episodes of Radio Free Nintendo this week.

Given my track record, I won't ever talk about Mother 3. Just give up already, it's like trying to raise the Titanic.

Which can expand the life of the Wii farther then just its typical lifetime.
Its because it is to late in the year.
Which is ironic because E3 is a hardcore event at its core.
Polish was stripped?

"We're expanding the industry, and that's good for everyone."
"Non-traditional gamers are a growing segment of the market."
All of that talk translated to "make games for the Wii/DS or you'll get left out."
I think you could argue that the peripherals are the same deal.
"Look at all the stuff you can make your games with."
Also: the first thing I thought of when seeing Wii Balance Board was "I wonder what kind of games they could make using the Board and the Wii-mote (and the gun or wheel attachments)?"
You could use the gun and the board like Time Crisis games (the foot pedal to crouch) or use it to dodge. You could use the wheel and the board to simulate gas and brake pedals. There are a lot of options.

Per person.
