Heh... I noticed after I posted the message that the topic title might not... convey what I was wanting to know...

Does anyone know the *time* of the conference?

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #4 on:** October 05, 2004, 07:03:24 PM »

In the morning. There's a fourteen hour difference so it'll be very early in the morning for the US. Its the same time they've done all their press confrences.

Well, I'm EST, and its 10:13 PM wednesday. I just checked, and its 11:13 AM Thursday in Japan. Does that mean we'll be hearing the news shortly?

The october 7th conference is the North American conference, is it not?

I thought that the Japanese one was the 13/14th.

If I'm correct, we won't be getting news until the local time actually reaches evening.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the NOA conference... Will probably announce the launch lineup... And then, as Ness said, the 13th/14th is the Japan one when they will announce the online plan.

Actually there is a conference in Japan in two hours.

Wow - you're right. The conference is soon. This one is in Japan, and I was totally mistaken.

A separate press conference in AMERIKA tomorrow will showcase new stuff on Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Pale · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2004, 08:09:03 PM »

... so is this going down soon? or should I go to bed?

According so some guy at the Penny Arcade forum Super Mario 64 DS (which references THREE Nintendo systems with that title alone) has been announced and the games will cost $30 US. I have no clue what his source is though.

Pale · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2004, 08:16:20 PM »

Argh, hurray for stupid mario titles... Super Mario 64x4 was so clever too.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #15 on:** October 06, 2004, 08:19:29 PM »

Well at least Super Mario 64 DS reveals in that title that's it's a remake. Super Mario Advance didn't suggest that and it took a while for us to confirm if it was a remake or not.

I hope that's not the flagship title though. I want a new game not a newer old game.

Mario · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2004, 08:36:53 PM »

Its on right now

Quote
Nintendo Co. Ltd. today held a conference in Tokyo, Japan where the company announced new details on its Nintendo DS platform including the hanheld's expected launch lineup and game details. Among the games that Nintendo anticipates will be ready for the system's launch: Super Mario 64 DS... in addition to PictoChat, which is embedded in the system, and a demo of Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt that is bundled with handheld. Third parties including Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, THQ, and Ubisoft will also contribute to the console's launch lineup.

There's still over an hour of the conference to go, more to come hopefully!

They quoted Billy about how cool the PSP is gonna be.... In the DS article....errrr

As for the article...nothing new and exciting...:-/

Final Fantasy 3 DS has been announced... more coming still!

"Final Fantasy 3 DS has been announced... more coming still!"

You mean this as in, FF6/3? A remake?

Wow. The best FF ever on the DS?

If that's what you meant, I'm more excited about this than any new FF that could come out. FF will never be that good again.

its unclear which FF3 it is, but i'm guessing its the japanese one

square enix are presenting stuff now (or have finished), then sega and the pokemon company are to make announcements

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #21 on:** October 06, 2004, 10:47:56 PM »

Hmmm... never played that one...

But that makes no sense. FF3J came out on the Famicom. That's 2 generations back from what the DS is capable of.

Better be one heck of a remake, if it is a remake.
