My predictions (I swear I made predictions before on this!):

-Wii Sports Resort Release date
-Some new games that take advantage of Motion Plus that we have NOT heard of
-Pikmin 3 video

These aren't so much predictions as they are my hopes:

-Info on Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics
-Announcement of Mario Party 9 (with no Wii Motion Plus support)
-Announcement of a Wii sequel to Mario Hoops 3-on-3 (it wasn't that great but a Wii sequel could be good)
-Really just some new Mario game, though it probably won't happen
-WiiWare titles being released on disc form

Animales Del la Muerte is coming out in disc for
Not sure if anybody knows what that is.

I expect these to be announced at E3 2009, not at GDC. GDC is more about announcing new technology and using certain games to show the new it off. So, MP with Wii Sports Resort is logical, as well as some DSiWare games.

And once again, I wouldn't worry if MP 9 does have some MP support because it will likely be limited to some games and the game will give you the option of playing without it, so your cheapskate self can be at ease.

Probably a lot of business talk, Motion Plus and possibly some unrevealed game (most likely a Wii X one that does something unexpected again).

I hope Nintendo says something about more of the their first party stuff getting wiispeak support.

I'd rather they announced a non-sh**ty communication peripheral.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #33 on:** March 24, 2009, 04:55:34 AM »

I wish I could go to GDC I think it would be so much fun to listen to various talks and conferences on various aspects of game development. The "big" announcement wouldn't even be much of a concern, I'd just go to learn from people in the industry.

Stratos · « **Reply #34 on:** March 24, 2009, 05:01:36 AM »

I almost went and volunteered to get in for free back when I was trying to break into the game development business. My college finals were on the same week as the conference though. Stupid exams.

Same. The stuff they talk about is just plain interesting, and I'm always down for knowledge for the sake of knowledge. (unless it's boring)

thought he was just going to be talking about Motion Plus and DSi, but it turns out he's going to be announcing quite a few new games -- for Wii, Wiiware, and Virtual Console (and this won't just be Nintendo titles, but also third party stuff). I've already heard about a few of them (including one that makes me all giddy...I can't wait for tomorrow now).

Not give up, just adapt them. I am excited to see what games they are going to be showcasing especially the 3rd party and VC/WiiWare stuff. Will some use the Balance Board, Wii Speak and the M+? Also, this game that makes the 1UP editor giddy has me curious. IGN also alluded to something cool we'd hear more about soon as well.

Even then, I am careful as we were promised something amazing at last year's E3.

I hope that the game that makes the guy "giddy" is a Wii title.

It seems pretty clear it is a Wii title.

Hope so. I mean not to diss on the DS, WiiWare and VC but I wouldn't be all giddy over any of them.

SMB3 3D Remake for Wiiware would put in a giddy coma.

Why does everyone like remakes so much? No matter how you present it, it's still the same game you've already played (in SMB3's case, probably way too much). Oh well, I guess it is just something which I am not meant to understand.

Now, if they announced a new 2D Mario platformer for WiiWare, I... I... might have to rethink my principles and allow exceptions. Hm, but if I don't stick to my principles then I have nothing. So conflicted... $:-\$

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 24, 2009, 07:27:24 PM »

New Super Mario World WiiWare
New Super Mario Bros. 2 DSiWare

would that make you giddy?

Mop it up · « **Reply #46 on:** March 24, 2009, 07:37:26 PM »

Not anything on DSiWare, no. If it were released on disc for Wii that'd be the only example where it would make me "giddy" (I don't really know what that means BTW). It it were released on WiiWare then it would result in much indecisiveness, confusion, and confliction... so I'm actually kind of hoping it doesn't happen. $:-\$

You know, I love the American Super Mario Brothers 2 or Super Mario USA or whatever you want to call it. A sequel to that game would just be too awesome, which is why it cannot be allowed to exist.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 24, 2009, 07:47:23 PM »

In all fairness, "giddy" is subjective. In my case, a new entry on a classic Nintendo franchise for the Wii would make me giddy. But if its for the DS or WiiWare I would just be pleased.

LIES according to Merriam Webster:

— gid·di·ly Listen to the pronunciation of giddily \ˈgi-də-lē\ adverb
— gid·di·ness Listen to the pronunciation of giddiness \ˈgi-dē-nəs\ noun

New Super Mario Bros. 3 on WiiWare would definitely make me whirl rapidly.
