I just wanted to get this in there before anyone else, really.
Less than twelve hours left before this one. I'm most interested in seeing what's left to be revealed for Wii, and Reggie's rebuttal to the PS3 motion sensitivity.
Oh, and Wii gameplay footage. But you knew that. :)
Hopefully wii'll(lol) see some of the core games. Link, Mario, and Samus all need to make an apperance. Heh, I would like to hear something about what Sony did as well...
lets hope we can expect more from nintendo and its rev-wii this year im really hoping to hear more on MP3 and SSB rev-wii.
5pm GMT, right?
Let the fapping commence.
:cool:
"Accept no imitations."
That's my prediction.
Either that, or Reggie will pull a couple of assault rifles out of his afro and start shooting up the sony camp.
Why are there two A buttons on the Wiimote?
I'm pretty sure A and B are still A and B, but they changed a and b to X and Y. Makes more sense.
One's a secondary A button. It's like calling them A1 and A2 (or L1 and L2, if you're having trouble seeing the comparison).
They're also used for NES games, if you turn the controller on its side, for example. I've also seen them referred to as X and Y, though, and I'm not sure if we've seen a final design.
EDIT: lol klarth you NINJA BOY
Gametrailers is going to have the conference in lovely live high-resolution for free!

Awesome. Bye bye Gamespot.
One hour to go, kids.
I'd be extremely hyped, if it wasn't for the fact like twenty members of my family are round to specifically see me.
:(
The Gamespot feed is now up. It's a 'coming soon' page thing, but it's available.
Family comes and goes, X. Nintendo is forever!
[URL="http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/event_popup/index.php?event=e3_2006"]Just for anyone who missed it.[/URL]
It's a NINTENDO test card right now, with 'Sunshine Fever' in the background.
Expect it to change in the next 10 minutes.
:cool:
A seperate version of Zelda
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3
Excite Truck (thought it was a new Cruisn' game at first)
Disaster Day of Crisis
Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
Not a bad 1st-party lineup. I'm sure Exite Truck and Project HAMMER will go through some changes before release, though. They didn't seem like quite complete games.
EDIT: Crap! I forgot about Smash Brothers! It had better be the finale!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (the leaked screenshot was REAL)
No Smash Bros... yet :)
Controller speaker
Red Steel looks amazing
Hyper Sonic
27 launch titles AT LEAST.
Best launch ever.
N...No Smashy?...No Smash Brothers?...Wait, Reggie! Wait! Playing is believing, but I still want to see Smash Brothers! Please?!
*Breaks down and cries*
Ah well. It was better than some press conferrences I could mention. It was nice to see some company guys who could enjoy their own games.
Disaster: Day of Crisis orwhateveritwascalled has some of the best graphics I've ever seen - ALL the games shown look on par with 360.
And then it exploded all over my keyboard.
There's gotta be smash sometime soon osidjfoisdjfsdfs
The best part was the end of it. I need to get a bigger place...
I was disappointed with the fact that Twilight Princess will have two different versions, rather than just one version that can be played on both. Doesn't that completely kill the GameCube now?
And we could tell the system won't be a competitor in the graphics department. The best looking game they had was Ubisoft's title, and it didn't even look that great. Nintendo's really banking on gameplay innovation alone, so I hope the consumers will see through that.
Disaster looks awesome. And the graphics really are good enough to compete. They're not like DOA or anything, but they're good enough.
While I was watching it, it was like OMFGWTFBBQSPOOGE, but afterwards, I kinda thought - eh? They told us maybe two new things, and they didn't even make a big deal about it. Starfox DS and the speaker in the remote is what springs to mind (as well as the new franchises).
So, SSBW? Where?
I was extremely impressed thruout the entire presentation. All of the games I saw looked fantastic IMO. And as far as Smash goes, I totaly forgot about it until you guys made mention of it. I suppose they couldn't get a good enough version out in time for e3, so maybe it won't be a launch title afterall?
I don't see what the deal is with SSB. The only thing that really takes the time is the character balancing.
We still have a week of E3, guys.
I see no problem with the graphics. Lots of shiny effects on the oil in Mario. Then again it amazes me hows quickly I forget about graphics when playing a game.
I noticed Nintendo are making alot more 'adult' games what with Project Hammer and Disaster. Hmm...
I love the fact that Nintendo's "kiddy" image has all but disappeared now. They're anything but - Seriously, they might as well be the most mature first party ever right now, considering everyone can enjoy their games without the need for excessive blood and gore.
I'm completely happy with the graphics. They're definately more than an overclocked Gamecube and I won't be spending £500 either. The system also has some truly awesome AI and animation capabilities, and it has some pretty decent physics. The controller pretty much completes the whole immersion deal. The only reason we ever wanted better graphics was for immersion purposes, and the controller achieves more than could ever be done with fancy shader effects.
I orgasm'd, trice, while watching Nintendo's Press Conference.
I almost fell asleep with sony's.
And I won't even bother with Microsoft's.
And saying that Wii's grapics aren't great? (Just, MP3: Curruption. I mean, COME ON! :) )
LOL.
Just, LOL.
Grapics are secondary! :o
They're great, they're just not "Superb".
Oh *** Im wet.
thats all I have to say
---------------------------------
Well not really, the graphics are an issue.
The serious things (not like the tennis demo) were good. And those were DEMO'S. Im impressed. Nintendo wanted the games t olook good, but wanted them to play better.
And besides thats what its only the begining. Ill bet quality will get better.
(p.s Project Hammer FTW, HULK SMASH!)
I really need to see Smash Bros. Wii. Why did they forget to put it on this list?: http://revolution.ign.com/articles/706/706630p1.html
I'm srsly looking forward to FF:CC. :P
So, the list includes everything at the show?*sigh* I really wish they would just show something for Smash Bros. Anything would make me happy.
On a brighter note. According to that list there is going to be a Resident Evil Wii game. Could it be Resident Evil 5, a completely original Resident Evil game, or just a remake? I'm looking forward to seeing that.
'Resident Evil Series' The heck?
Hey, if they can fit Resident Evil 1 on a DS cart with new features, they can have it available for the Virtual Console.
I'm still saying the grapics are great, not superb, but great.
And that's more than enough.
I mean, RE4 had quite GREAT grapics.
And something x2, or even x3 the GCN, would indeed look, superb.
(Besides, all we saw was low-res. There's no way for us to tell how it really looks.)
The graphics are amazing. mario, when he was fighting that boss. The lighting affects were amazing.
There're too many things that I want to read about in such little life-span on IGN.
But not how they FEEL. :D
Until we play the games ourselfs', we really have no way to know for certain.
-:(-
when can i pre-order the wii
Whenever you want, I think. I put my name down for one two or three days ago.
My work doesn't allow it until a solid date is announced. So it might depend.
Well, the way it works with this store is that you put your name down and register interest. Then when the date is released, they ring you up and say 'are you still interested? would you like us to make it a proper preorder?' and then you go down and put your deposit down.
Yeah, that's pretty much the way it used to be here. And then a few people complained when they found out something was in fact coming out a lot later than they first expected. Of coruse we can't give back a deposit, because it's a deposit. So now we just don't bother until we know that, yeah, this is the day it's coming out, this is the day you can pick it up.
I've never understood the reason for deposits on games consoles. It's not like the company isn't going to be able to sell them.
But you only put a deposit down once there's a solid date. You can order one before then, though.
Also, FOUR THOUSAND POSTS GET IN THERE
Yeah... we're not going to write a person's name down unless they give us five bucks (or fifty if it's a console).
And the reason for a deposit is in the definition. It's a secruity measure guaranteeing your place on the list. Why would I give you the chance to be one of the twenty people who get the new MGS game when you're not giving me any collateral? It can become a real hassle when you can only sell twenty games to twenty people, yet, fifty others want it at the same time. It's even worse when you turn down ten other people and then a month later, fifteen of the twenty decide they want to go to walmart instead. Not only do you lose the business of that fifteen, you lose the business of those other ten poeople you turned down.
It's just a way to ensure EB keeps the costumer and the customer gets the game, basically.
I've just been reminded that I had the 64DD preordered when I lived in the US.
I never got my $30 deposit back. :(
See, that's weird. Because the store I'm talking about owns EB in Britain. :)
Well, you'd think that the policies were universal.
Not from what I can tell. There's three EBs where I live, and they all differ a bit in certain policies.
