[ShyGuy]

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

GRANDMA JUMPS OUT OF PLANE WTF

[D_Average]

Anyone know why the chat went down?

[Kairon]

9:42:37: I have a feeling Kairon will love Style Savvy

I have simple tastes: only the best.

[Mop it up]

New Super Mario Bothers on Wii has co-op? That's something I've been wanting ever since the alternating 2-player mode of the original Super Mario Brothers!

[Caliban]

Samus is beautiful.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Metroid by team ninja will be interesting

[ThomasO]

Super Mario Galaxy 2! WOOHOO!

[Caliban]

I think Nintendo just won the conference war.
Aside from the it's over 9000 vitality sensor, everything was great.
WSR really surprised me in its variety.

[KDR_11k]

I think Nintendo just won the conference war.

Oh don't worry, journalists will still pretend that MS won. Nintendo did have a lack of Motion Plus games though...

[Flames_of_chaos]

Golden Sun, the vitality sensor, Metroid by Team Ninja caught me way off guard. Nintendo certainly didn't disappoint though I wish Miyamoto was on stage.

[blackfootsteps]

Eh the games shown were nearly all good but whoever makes the trailers needs to inject a bit of vigour next time. Most of them seemed flat.

[Pale]

Is no one else discouraged by the fact that breast physics inc. is making a metroid game?  Is it only me?

[stevey]

Screw Retro, Team Ninja is making all my Metroid games from now on!

[Flames_of_chaos]

Well Pale Itagaki isn't in Team Ninja anymore and Nintendo is obviously supervising everything.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I think Nintendo just won the conference war.

Oh don't worry, journalists will still pretend that MS won. Nintendo did have a lack of Motion Plus games though...

Nintendo loses cuz there was no Dynamic Slash.

[Caliban]

Is no one else discouraged by the fact that breast physics inc. is making a metroid game?  Is it only me?

No. Actually yes, it is only you.

I think Nintendo just won the conference war.

Oh don't worry, journalists will still pretend that MS won. Nintendo did have a lack of Motion Plus games though...

I think WSR showed what M+ can do more than enough.

[Pale]

Is that no to the first question or the second? =P

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Is no one else discouraged by the fact that breast physics inc. is making a metroid game?  Is it only me?

Aside from that, say good-bye to Metroid's fancy 3D puzzles.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Sony has some nice odds stacked against them

[NWR_pap64]

Did anyone noticed that Nintendo was VERY serious this year? Its like a direct response to the silliness at display last year.

The Vitality Sensor still has me scratching my head as to what it can do. No games were announced for it which is very weird for Nintendo.

And Miyamoto being absent was shocking.

[AV]

WhERE is pikmin 3 ??

Zelda was assumed but it's ok to not see it.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Itagaki is making Pikmin 3.  by himself.

[NWR_pap64]

Remember guys that Miyamoto still has his roundtable discussion where he might talk about games not shown at the conference.

I'm not expecting megatons, but considering Miyamoto was absent at the conference we could hear more from him there.
