Good stuff, NWR on the ball!

I like how nobody has a clue what he's going to talk about.

edit: it's over. Here's the interesting news, courtesy Joystiq:

Quote
12:06 p.m.: ANNOUNCEMENT! Miyamoto is working on a channel that will allow people to compete in popularity contests with their Miis. Stop the presses again!

12:08 p.m.: Miyamoto introduces Mario, and asks "What ever happened to Mario 128?" Apparently we've already played it -- in Pikmin. Elements will also be in Super Mario Galaxy. A video is shown showing Mario zipping past planets, spinning through stars, collecting coins and dashing about on all sorts of structures.

12:10 p.m.: Graphics are by far the most impressive yet on the Wii. Mario is avoiding falling blocks and floating on a giant flower. The game will be out this year, Miyamoto confirms.

12:14 p.m.: "Your vision doesn't have to be my vision," Miyamoto says. You should apply your own visions. "You've given me a lot of faith about the future of our industry." True success will mean breaking out of the industry and becoming part of the larger culture. With Nintendo's tools and visions, we can make it happen. "We must always remember the human touch. After all, if we can convert my wife, we can convert anyone, right?" Crowd explodes into a gibbering mass of screaming fans as the keynote ends. We're going back to our Sudoku, now.

Bloodworth · « **Reply #9 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:17:54 AM »

It's done. Hopefully Pale is alive and finds his way back to the Internet soon. Apparently the only real news is some new footage of Super Mario Galaxy.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #10 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:19:14 AM »

Yes. And I was just about to ask when we could expect to see it.

Pale · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:32:31 AM »

Man that sucked. I had a nice Mac Only airport network goign that just disappeared as soon as the event started. Then I was in the dark. :-/

Pale · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:33:03 AM »

Also, check out what I would have posted. I'm sorry it's a couple hours late, but it's pretty thorough and probably full of typos.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:33:56 AM »

That was very nice, Pale. Very detailed. Other parts I read were a little short on details.

...and they took his bucket hat as a trophy.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #15 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:46:01 AM »

When he says we'll play Super Mario Falaxy this year I hope that doesn't mean the end of the year and other stuff like Metroid Prime 3 has been pushed back. Now obviously he isn't going to give the date straight up but saying we'll play it this year gives off the feel that there was a possibility it may have missed this year.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:50:48 AM »

THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR HOW ****ING AWESOME MARIO GALAXY LOOKS! O_O

IceCold · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:59:02 AM »

MARIO GALAXY FOOTAGE!! Where is it? Oh man, I need to see it..

Again, I still believe it'll be there for the holidays, and Metroid in the summer or early fall.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2007, 08:00:08 AM »

I've got the footage but I think it'd be rude to put it up before NWR did... =3

that Baby guy · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2007, 08:15:43 AM »

It could be August, after all, that's when we saw Super Mario Sunshine, and I believe a few other Mario games.

The game is indeed looking beautiful. And magical. It's bringing back memories of Mario 64.

MarioAllStar · « **Reply #21 on:** March 08, 2007, 12:01:42 PM »

I am watching a video of the keynote. Good stuff.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #22 on:** March 08, 2007, 01:41:53 PM »

lol big A button ftw. Those were risky times.

AP on Miyamoto's speech

"He also helped developed "Super Mario Galaxy,"

Good job proofreaders, you've earned your pay

Bloodworth · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2007, 04:46:18 PM »

Wow, the bias in that piece is steaming. That article has almost nothing to do with Miyamoto's speech. He even said that it's ok for other developers to make games about violence or fear, but that's not the kind of thing that motivates him.
