Nintendo Press Conference E3... letdown?

[Hugbees]

Just got done watching the Nintendo E3 press conference. 

In short:

FOR THE WII

     - Animal Crossing: City Folk.  Will have a new "city mode", as well as Mii support and Voice Chat, online multiplayer
     - Wii Sports Resort.  Utilizes new Motion Sensor Plus, has some cool minigames (swordfighting, Wave Race-esque racer, frisbee throwing)
     - Star Wars Clone Wars.  One-on-One lightsaber duels, force powers with Wii-mote.
     - Wii Music.  50+ instruments, recordable music videos, Mii support, drum simulator (with balance board), classic game music (i.e. F-Zero, Mario, Zelda)
     - Raving Rabbids 2.  More party crap.
     - Call of Duty: World at War.  Wait... another WW2 shooter!?  SO ORIGNIAL.  Zapper support.

FOR THE DS

     - Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia     
     - Guitar Hero On Tour.  Can play songs with other people with different versions of the game.
     - Spore DS.  Where's Spore Wii?
     - GTA DS.   Modern-day Liberty City, free-range gameplay we expect
     - buch of other crap

Possibilities
     -  DS connection at airports (check times, baggage, etc.), stadiums (baseball scores, trivia with other fans at games, alread in use in Seattle), cooking help (seriously... cookbooks and timers and stuff)
     -  Mario and Zelda teams "hard at work".  GROUNDBREAKING:  DEVELOPMENT TEAMS ARE DEVELOPING.


For me, this was a big letdown except for Animal Crossing Wii, which has potential to be a pretty fun online experience.  No comment on the Conduit either, a FPS which looks pretty legit as well (kick ass graphics, deep online multiplayer expected).

Meh.    :neutral:


OH SHIT EDIT:

I forgot that they didn't say anything about Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii.  IGN said that there probably wouldn't be a MH3 announcement, but that it is in development.  I'm stoked for that.

It sucked. Hard. And Ninty is my favourite right now...

 

[Despain]

this is actually a much better topic than mine so keep this one going i'll close mine.

 

[Despain]

microsoft might win this year's e3 after many years of nintendo as the reigning champ

 

[Hugbees]

sorry man didn't realize you had one going

 

[Mars]

OMG LOL.

It came on and after that gay-ass montage of nintendo fans, that lady came in.
When we saw that, my brother and I were all like, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!??!?!"

In all honesty it sucked. Really bad. I mean, it was awful. period.

Although!

I have been looking forward to uhh.... three of the titles.

-Wii SwordPlay! (Wii Sports Resort)
-Animal Crossing City Folk.
-Wii Music

I thought it was sad, because rather than saying "Here are our awesome new games!"
It was more like, "Here are the games Sony and M$ didn't take from us with their better graphics... T_T"

Oh! And I also thought it was cool when I recognised the first Wii Music song as the F-Zero one as I was listening to it.
No one else believed me, but I was like, "That's the chord progression from that F-Zero song!"

im halfway interested in animal crossing but everything else sounds like: "weh"

i'd be excited about spore, but i'm getting it on PC and not DS, so

microsoft might win this year's e3 after many years of nintendo as the reigning champ

yeah sony's is still left to go but honestly i dont see how they could top microsoft's "haha sony we're releasing all the things you were planning on releasing exclusively, suck our little pale peachfuzz covered balls hehehe"

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Animal crossing is the only game I plan on getting, everything else I could care less about. I was hoping they would say something on Metroid Dread or something...(the DS game that was silently cancelled a while back, but after playing Corruption they make it seem like the game is back...maybe they're messing with us...>_>)

 

[Plubyblop]

It was a letdown.  The only thing that really interested me was Animal Crossing, and all that really showed was the voice-chat thing, no real new Animal Crossing content. 

I was really let down by there "big" announcement being Wii Music.  He basically said that it's a music game that plays itself...  I guess it could be interesting, we'll have to see though; I certainly wasn't convinced today.

GTA for DS was something of a surprise, but they didn't actually show any footage of it.

I was hoping for Zelda, or at least a Wii Pikmin.  At least we'll be getting AC by Christmas though.

yeah FF is the news of the conference definitely.  What other cards does PS3 have?  

Perfect Metal Gear Solid Dark 5: Liberty City Fantasy XIV (with balance board compatibility)

 

[Venetia]

microsoft also kind of did a quiet "fuck you" to nintendo after releasing their version of Miis and that peripheral that works with that movie trivia game.

 

[Calibre]

Maybe I'm biased but I just enjoyed PS3's.

Except the fact the standard big secret turned out to be a shooter... a good looking one though, called MAG, 256 player online support.

Best thing for me is that they are opening the movie rental store tonight, for blu-ray rentals that will be awesome (I bet it aint even in Europe yet though).

 

[dupont7]

yeah the movie service starts tonight to. Also MAG is going to be sweet... if they do gameplay right

 

[Venetia]

i havent seen sony's yet, i hope my dvr got it. if not, i'm sure G4 will replay it 100 times.

Animal Crossing will surely be fun, and I might get the new Wario Land. But the other...how do I say this...sucked. Hard. Another Wii Sports? Are you kidding me? Nintendo said they were releasing games for the "hard-core" gamer. When you hear that, you think of another Mario game (not Mario Party or any of that crap, I'm talking about the classic Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros. kind of games) or another Zelda game. Many people were hoping for a new Kid Icarus or Starfox. Myself, I was hoping for maybe a Mother 1+2+3 compilation for the DS. (like that'll ever happen) Man, this year sucked so bad...  :dead: I'm losing faith in Nintendo...

I was hoping for Mother 1+2+3 as well. But nooooo, we get some girl up on stage telling a story of breaking her wrist.

New info:

Supposedly, Shiggy sat down with IGN and explained that the Zelda team is DEFINITELY working on a new Zelda, but it's way to early to announce it.

Early thoughts say it may include first person 1:1 sword action, but I find that hard to believe. 

 

[Lucied]

There are also rumours of Nintendo holding something big at the end of E3.

Like when SSBB was revealed and such.

Bullshit.  Don't you know?  Link's supposed to be a chick this time around.

........That's, er...no...lol.

Anyways I find it kind of funny (and stupid) that people are now selling their Wiis just because of N's conference.
