IT'S OVER NINTENDO JUST WON THE EVERYTHING

Alright so nobody on this forum is a bigger nintenfag than I, and with the help of /v/ I knew long ago that nintendo was holding a press conference on October 2nd.  Due to the time change, that would be streaming to my computer at 1:30 AM, and I OF COURSE stayed up for it :3

THE BAD (let's get this out of the way D: )

New handheld, called the DSi.  It has internal storage, updatable firmware, mp3 player and digital camera built in, SD card slot, photo editor, downloadable addons and options and games via wii points on the wii shop channel, bigger screens.  It would seem like it's just a DS lite with added options for people who want to spend the money BUTNOOOOOOOOOOOO nintendo has to come in and fuck us in the ass with it.  =|

No GBA slot support - That means no more GBA games and no more GBA slot peripherals (lol but don't worry nintendo is putting up GBA games on the VC so you can rebuy them again ^_^;;;;;;; fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccck)

DSi only games - YES FUTURE RELEASES WILL ONLY BE ON THE DSi.  I mean why?  It's not time yet for a new handheld generation, we've still got a good two years left in this one.  And the DSi has the exact same graphical/computing power as the DS and the DS lite so it's not a new system GRGRFFSDGSDFGSDBFSDG FUCK

THE GOOD (fuck year :D :D :D :D :D)


NEW PUNCH OUT
NEW MARIO RPG
Pikmin 3
Animal Crossing
DISASTER:DAY OF CRISIS (lol surprise see you on store shelves in a few weeks)
Dead Rising
SIN AND PUNISHMENT 2
Endless Ocean 2
Release dates for Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort, NEW PHOENIX WRIGHT
TRACE MEMORY WII
Footage of monster hunter 3, Fragile, Sonic and the dark knight, sonic unleashed (all looking surprisingly amazing, especially surprising for sonic)
showed more of THE CONDUIT and MADWORLD
New Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for both wii and DS FINALLY SHOWN
New wiiware firmware update shown - this is good because it allows you to FINALLY RUN CHANNELS AND GAMES OFF THE SD CARD THANK YOU IWATA
and finally a new 'Tales' game.  Not Tales of Symphonia 2, but a new title in the series.  Whee.

They're also remaking old gamecube games with added content and wii specific controls.  nothin I'm really excited about because I play most of them on the Wii already via backwards compatibility, but mehhh.  They're remaking DK jungle beat and pikmin 1.

ALSO KNOW WHAT'S GREAT??????  Nintendo of America is holding another press conference in just a couple of hours.  Let's hope there's more on the way :3

tl;dr - PUNCH OUT WII PIKMIN 3 MARIO RPG FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I am a bigger nintenfag >:O Yeah I watched it today! I wanted to write abou it two hours agp but i was too lazy...
Well whatever.
I am so excited about sin and punishment 2!!! It looks so good it owns everything.You forgot to write about the new tales of game: It is a mothership title of the series like symphonia 1 or vesperia (the ones which are REALLY good)

TRACE MEMORY FUCK YES

I LOVE CINQ, it's great that we're seeing another title from them.

Wii Music looks kind of lame, though, and, uh, I can't help but agree about the DSi. Unless there are technical aspects we don't know about yet, it seems strange to remove backwards-compatibility (my favourite thing about the Nintendo handhelds) in favour of something everyone's doing anyway -- streaming music, whoopee. I'll just put that right next to my iPod and my PSP and my toothbrush, thank you very much.

Whatever, I'll buy a flash card and put VBA on it.

Also I don't have an SD card. :(

Nintendo:  don't worry tokyo game show we will prove we are not ignoring you!

NINTENDO PRESS CONFERENCE: remake remake remake, bunch of dumb third party games, new ds with exclusive games NO NO JUST LIKE THE DS WAS TO THE GBA ITS A COMPLIMENT NOT A REPLACEMENT!!!

edit: oh yeah the new nintendo dsi (what a dumb name what does the 'i' even stand for) will feature downloadable games onto sd cards can anyone say PSP COPYCAT EASY PIRATING AHOY???

Which of those are remakes ? Except for Punch-Out. (Well at least it looks like a REAL remake)
Yeah I know the Game Cube games are being remade BUT NOBODY FORCES YOU TO BUY THEM ( Will definetly buy Metroid Prime 1 and 2 cause i missed them)
If you don't like Sin and Punishment, Klonoa, Let's tap (hey it looks funny) Punch Out, MH3, Fragile, DISASTER:DAY OF CRISIS, Arcrise Fantasia and Pikmin 3 either then LIVE WITH IT NOBODY FORCES YOU TO BUY IT.
NOBODY FORCES YOU TO BUY IT!
 
So they're doing the whole Gameboy Pocket to Gameboy Color thing again, except this time there's even less of a reason.  Oh well, I'll probably end up buying it anyways.

Also, when is the next conference, and where are you watching it?
 
Mario RPG would be exciting if Super Paper Mario wasn't so boring (Thousand Year Door FTW). A new Punch Out is intriguing however. Damn, the last time I played my Wii was almost a year ago (Super Mario Galaxies). I might actually turn it on again this year.
 
There's two pikmins being talked about.

- New one, pikmin 3.

- remake of Pikmin 1 with added content and updated graphics

NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN PRESS CONFERENCE:

-Club Nintendo for north america, FINALLY
-WiiSpeak channel, a video-conference channel that is free to download when you get a WiiSpeak
-dates for dead rising, chrono trigger DS
-New fire emblem on DS
