Topic: Nintendo at Pax?

[Donutt007]

So Nintendo is going to be at PAX, any info on what's gonna be there?

Are they gonna have Wii games playable?

It would be frickin AWESOME is a Wii game was the Omegathon final game!

Yeah, the last game is supposed to be a surprise, so a Wii game would definitely be a surprise.

At least in the sense that no one could have mastered the game.

But then the prize should be a car equipped with a Wii, not a car equipped with an Xbox 360.

It's SUPER MARIO BROS. 3!!!  He found the warp whistle!

Herrr..uh...I wonder if Wii will be there in any form?  I would think that would draw such huge crowds that the rest of the expo would be doomed.  But if playing is believing, Nintendo should have it there.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Where's Fred Savage?

No I don't think PAX would be doomed.  Grant it there are a lot of people there wanting to play the Wii but they are a contention of people there that could care less.  Like the Tabletop people and the Role-players.  I don't think its going to be like E3 where everyone was there for the sole reason of trying the next best thing.  PAX has events that people will want to go to all the time, tournaments, concerts, and panels.  It would be big but wouldn't dominate like E3.  Though that would be an excellent place for Nintendo to get the Wii to people who are pretty vocal.

Last year Nintendo had a scaled down version of what they had at E3.  TP was playable and drew huge crowds so they weren't scared to do that.  I realize Wii may be a bit different, but I expect it to be there...

I mean, what else can they show?  Just a huge DS booth?

Well... Yeah...
