I have my second day of class today which happens to land on 11-2 central time. Do you think it would be worth it to skip my 2nd day of class to watch the streaming video. Will Ign have it up tonight so I can watch it? Also my internet has been very VERY glitchy and slow with flash video. So maybe I should take that into consideration?

Now thats a lie
. If any previous E3s indicate, the streaming press will be shown followed up by reporters everywhere posting news updates and whatnot all day. The video file of the conference usually doesnt hit the web until late at night :/ Oh well I guess thats me being spoiled with instant gratification from the Web

Apparently, the software that they use doesn't have a mac version. It says you can e-mail them to get what I assume is some sort of beta for a mac version, but I'd rather just find somewhere else.

When I want to excercise I get on my damn bike. I play games when I DON'T want to excercise. What's next? Wii Work? Wii School? Wii Chores? This is pretty much the E3 I expected from Nintendo. They very blatantly don't give two sh!ts about the people that made them a success in the first place if they can get the mainstream money. They've become EA.
The problem is I still want to get a Wii for the handful of games I want for it, but I don't want anything else revealed thus far. At this rate I'll be lucky to find five games I really want but these will be five games I REALLY want. Nintendo are f*cking evil geniuses. They know exactly the bare minimum attention they have to give to their old fans to get a purchase.
Pac-Man Vs. is no longer the least interesting game to get the most focus at a Nintendo conference.
I didn't hear anything about SSB Brawl being online. Should we assume that mean it isn't? If it isn't I'm not that interested. It's really just "more SSB" without it. I'd probably buy it used years later when it's cheap. The fact that they mentioned Mario Kart being online suggests that if SSB was as well they would have said so.
Post by: couchmonkey on July 11, 2007, 06:28:38 AM
Wii Fit sounds interesting (couldn't see the video feed) and was a good conclusion...it has the potential to keep the system selling out for another year.
The brief Mario Kart announcement was nice.
Everything else was pretty much known or not that interesting. I guess the Wii Zapper is cool....maybe there was a lot of silent game footage that I just didn't get to see, but I was hoping for more of that.
All that said, I think Nintnedo has rightfully stopped talking about games years in advance. Focus on this year's games, tell us about Animal Crossing and whatever next year.

O wow, didn't even think of that. You could potentially look out from a corner with the board, crouch, and lots of other good stuff. FPS evolution on the Wii!

Additionally, there didn't seem to be anything showing the opponent's score on your screen - which, if it were some kind of LAN, you'd think that would be there.
Post by: Michael8983 on July 11, 2007, 07:16:12 AM
I thought for sure we'd get an official announcement of a Wii Sports 2 or Wii Music though. I mean either would be a guaranteed HUGE seller among non-gamers who seem to love any game with the word "Wii" in the title.
I'm all for a new Warioware using the Balance Board but I'd rather not see it integrated into FPSs and other traditional titles. I mean there's nothing wrong with SITTING DOWN and playing a video game.
Post by: Stimutacs Addict on July 11, 2007, 07:28:36 AM
EXAMPLE: you are walking along the side of a building and plan on taking a right at the corner. apply some weight to the right side of the board and continue holding pressure. this will keep you close to the wall, mkay? when you want
to peek out, put your left foot down gently( like really gently if you drive an automobile you can relate )
to swing out swiftly, put some weight into it. your character will swing out
to release from the wall, lift your right toe/heel and you're free to go.
EDIT2: when i sit down and play to win, i always lean forward. i suppose then if they offered strafing through left/right foot pressure in an fps, i'd be all over that

1)Realistic Snowboard/Skateboard controls.
2)FPS additional controls. Like put pressure to peak around corners.
3)Dance Pad
4)In combination with Wii Sports 2 something to allow manipulation of players and such.
5)Track and Field type games
6)Racing Gas and Brake controls
7)Mech robot controls along with the Wiimote and nunchuk.
ect, ect...
People that look at WiiFit and don't see the potential for great games saddens me because they have no imagination.

Post by: Ian Sane on July 11, 2007, 10:58:18 AM
Maybe Nintendo could have debuted the pad with a cooler game. Those ideas you mentioned are cool as hell but Nintendo's big idea is an exercise game. If they debuted it with something like you mentioned I would be incredibly excited. Actually my apathy towards the remote and the touchscreen is similar. Both times Nintendo failed to really wow me with their first idea which kind of suggests that maybe they can't come up with something better. The analog stick however immediately won me over because the first game they showed for it was this unbelieably amazing game that just blew my mind.
Though the issue is whether Nintendo can't think of something better or this is just what they've chosen to make.

E3 was made smaller, but only in who gets invited. In fact, it's more likely that they'll have more games since their are less people (thus allowing everyone to play every game).

1. I was not a fan of Super Mario Sunshine (though I'm considering buying it again just to have), but Super Mario Galaxy looks to totally crush it in every possible way. The more I see of it, the more excited I get. True sequel to Mario 64 indeed.
2. I'll probably buy Wii Fit. I don't think it should have been Nintendo's big reveal of the show, but I like the idea and it has potential in other games. I can just imagine using it as gas/brake pedals along with the steering wheel in Mario Kart. I know my mom would love it and isn't that the whole point?
It's the price that makes me skeptical. I would buy it, but I don't know if the non-gamer will bite strictly because of the likely more than $50 price tag.
3. No new DS model? The game collector inside me is a little upset because I know a redesign is coming since this is Nintendo. The regular gamer, though, is perfectly fine with this.
4. No hard drive for Wii? I'm not terribly upset about it. I really just want to know how Nintendo is going to address the the internal memory restrictions. I expect Wii Ware to be big and I already know some people who are running out of the 512MB.
5. A lot of emphasis on expensive peripherals that no one really needs. That was one thing I was concerned with when Nintendo announced the Wii remote and mentioned add-ons. I'm still waiting for the camera... and a Mario Artist Wii series.
It was an okay press conference. Nothing too amazing.

papers and news shows always talk about the “wii diet” and the people that went out and bought a wii for themselves and/or their kids to lose weight will want to buy this. They spent $250 on the wii itself, is it really hard to imagine them spending another $50?
It only seems like alot to pay cuz we're gamers, the non-gamers won't see it that way

Man, you're the only one who almost wants this game as much as I do. I would trade away every single game coming up for the Wii just for Super Mario Galaxy.. I'm a certified Mario platformer whore, but just looking at those videos gives me that feeling that only Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 64 have given me before.

In New York *at least on long island* all the places such as target, gamestop, best buy, etc are always sold out of Wiis.
Whenever I got to buy a game or other item while I'm at the store I ask them how goes the Wii sales and they say it's just insane how it's still selling out. Soooo maybe it's not like that everywhere but Wii is still insanely hard to get here.
