Fall 2008 Nintendo Press Conference- MEGATONS DROPPED! DSi, Punch-out!!, Sin & Pun. 2

[Cao Cao]

Tokyo Event 9:30pm PST (1:30pm Japan time, 12:30am EST) Already Passed! Best Thing EVAR!
San Francisco event, already passed!

San Francisco news:
- Club Nintendo, the customer loyalty program currently in Japan and Europe where you trade points for some little goods, is coming to the US in 2009.
- Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon (DS), Sin & Punishment 2, and Mario & Luigi 3 is coming to the US in 2009
- Confirms some things about the DSi: Two cameras, AAC music playback, built-in Opera browser that is supposed to run faster than the previous one.
- New trailer of Punch-Out! was shown. It looks like a remake of the first NES game, since they've shown Little Mac, Glass Joe, King Hippo, and Von Kaiser so far.
- The WiiSpeak microphone will include an online voice chat channel that you can download with the included code.
- (After the press conference) Cave Story is coming to Wiiware!


Tokyo MEGATONS:
- DSi, the newest redesign of the Nintendo DS, was confirmed to feature two cameras, a SD card slot, a music player, bigger screens, no GBA slot, thinner size than the DS Lite, built-in applications like a web browser and music and photo software, a DSi shop where you can download new games and apps (With free 1000 points for your first connection before March!), and much more. Set for release in Japan on November 1st for 18,900 yen; 2009 for the rest of the world.

Official DSi web site (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/dsi.html)

-The DS Compilation Video (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/conference2008fall/mov/ds.html?n10) showed plenty of new games. Notable games: Mario & Luigi 3, Warioware Touched! 2

Wii:
- Big game announcements: Punch-out!, Sin and Punishment 2, Another Code R (Trace Memory)
- New feature: The ability to download games directly to the SD card! Coming Spring 2009. It's unknown right now whether or not you are still have to copy it to the internal memory to play the game. UPDATE 10/05: From Strell's post (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4941934&postcount=420) - Iwata confirmed (http://gonintendo.com/?p=58164) that you will still have to copy the games from the SD to the internal memory to play them. Not much of a storage solution unless they vastly improve transfer speeds.
- "Wii de asobu" collection - Some GameCube games, re-released with Wii control options. Announced games include: Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Pikmin 1 & 2, Chibi-Robo, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and Mario Tennis. (From KingBroly)
- The Wii Compilation Video (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/conference2008fall/mov/wii.html?n10) also showcased many new games. Including the three listed above: Endless Ocean 2, Cosmic Walker, Taiko no Tatsujin, Let's Tap (First game from Yuji Naka's Prope studio).

Yes, so anyways, the Fall 2008 Nintendo Press Conference will be taking place October 2nd and 3rd in Tokyo (With another conference in San Francisco on the same dates), before the Tokyo Game Show. Looking at the time difference, this should mean that the news should start coming out either later tonight, tomorrow, and/or Friday. They promised that "new products" would be shown, and so far, the two big rumors making their rounds for the DS and Wii are:
-DS Redesign (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/09/27/japanese-newspaper-details-new-camera-equipped-ds/) with Camera and Music Player. CONFIRMED - DSi
-An "old franchise" (http://www.gamekyo.com/newsen29138_nintendo-reviving-an-old-franchise-for-the-wii.html) will be revived for the Wii. CONFIRMED - Punch-Out!

These rumors will either be confirmed or killed by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, as they both specifically rely on being shown at this press conference. Of course, this topic can be used to keep track of and discuss any useful news, if any, for the Wii and DS that may come out of the press conference.

I enjoyed this strip:

[ProfWho]

Really all I want to hear is that I can now play games off of my SD card and I can play save files off of there as well.

Anything else will be icing on the cake.

Also, you forgot to mention the rumor Nintendo will preview the Wii HD set to release in 2011.

I know that rumor has popped up recently, but unlike the other ones, there is no connection to this specific conference, and we still have a ways to go until 2011.

[eliter1]

The old remake is probably Kid Icarus. According to a lot of sources it should have been revealed ad E3 so I am guessing now is the time.

[Cao Cao]

The old remake is probably Kid Icarus. According to a lot of sources it should have been revealed ad E3 so I am guessing now is the time.

Yeah, Kid Icarus is probably the safest bet, since there have been whispers about it far longer than any other franchise. Following it, in terms of probability of revival, would be Punch-Out!, since there were some comments after e3 that the Wii-MotionPlus was made for a game like it, and I'd say that Pilotwings would be third (For this, I'm not counting "return to form revivals" like a rail-shooter Star Fox or a 2D Metroid).

[BlueSwim]

This conference will make or break the hardcore gamer support for the Wii and Nintendo knows it. They know they need to get the hardcore interested in the Wii soon or they'll lose out on that smaller(yet very profitable) market to the 360 or the PS3.

[Kaijufan]

Anyone know what time the conference is and if any sites are going to be live bloging it?

[Mogambi]

Anyone know what time the conference is and if any sites are going to be live bloging it?

I would like to know this also.

[Cao Cao]

That's what I'm trying to find out about now. So far, the only site who mentioned it was Kotaku in a poll, but even they would only say "tonight." We should hear more details when it gets closer to the event, unless there is some embargo in place. It's Thu 11:16 AM (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/) in Tokyo now.

[shadylane]

so when should we hear something by?

[Cao Cao]

Ah, I just found the time on the NeoSeeker and 4CR forums. The event will start at 1:30pm Japan time, which is 9:30pm PST and 12:30am EST. Gemaga (http://www.gemaga.com/) and a few other sites may live-blog the event. It will last until 3:00pm Japan time. The American conference in San Francisco will start tomorrow afternoon.

It's like you read my mind. This event is make or break for me. If Nintendo doesn't deliver tomorrow, I'm moving on and throwing my money towards Sony and/or Microsoft this Christmas.

[soonersfan60]

I hope we get more than 1 major game announcement...

[Strell]

Look, if you've reached the point where Nintendo's 3 whole products for expanded crowds somehow erases the 30+ years they've been in the gaming business, you should just pack up your shit and move on now, because you're entirely gone. There's nothing expressly wrong with that, but don't sit around to drama queen it up when they inevitably don't announced the dozen and a half specific things you think need to happen in order to retain your measly dollar - that's just pompous.

I'd love for this thread - assuming the conference goes even halfway as nicely as I wish, maybe even a tenth - to not be bogged down by the same useless tired comments I've had to read for the last 2 years. Is that really so much to ask?

Someones grumpy tonight.:lol:

But seriously, the core gamer market is still a very profitable one for Nintendo. Don't believe me? Then check out the numbers Brawl did. It was the fastest selling game in Nintendo history and it came out just this year.

Nintendo had it's hand forced by how bad the E3 reaction was. Look at how Iwata apologized for how bad their E3 presser was for core gamers and the way Miyamoto announced Pikmin 3 so matter-of-factly, it was all because of the negative reactions they got from the core market. I believe Nintendo knows they have to give the core fan-base something to look forward to tonight/tomorrow or the reaction for this event will be even worse than E3.

[The Crotch]

Charging mah (disappointment) lazors!

...

Wait, how does that even work?

[Strell]

Someones grumpy tonight.:lol:

Well I am sick at the moment, so I would agree with that. Moreso when I account that I am unable to determine why I am sick. Was it the walrus meat? The chance encounter with the tsetse fly? I'm having a difficult time understanding. Maybe it's just allergies. But I've never had allergies. I even got tested for allergies. Have you ever been tested for 'em? It is a painful experience - I do not recommend it. Still, why am I feeling like utter tosh? Iunno.


But seriously, the core gamer market is still a very profitable one for Nintendo. Don't believe me? Then check out the numbers Brawl did. It was the fastest selling game in Nintendo history and it came out just this year.

I agree with this 100%, partially because it is factual and yet also because I consider myself a "core" gamer more than not, and would like nothing more than to feast upon such titles endlessly.

I believe Nintendo knows they have to give the core fan-base something to look forward to tonight/tomorrow or the reaction for this event will be even worse than E3.

Again, I agree with all of this.

However, I'm pointing out that the hollerin' of the netitudes is kind of offbase, since there's a completely logical response to it that was subsequently drowned out by the cacophanous rancor, which is simply that E3 is a press event, and we - as the core crowd - as the ones who will be happy to find our information on the 'net, from interviews, etc. So it is not "for" us. This is NOT to say that we can dismiss the E3 debacle (which it was - a debacle) completely on the grounds that "we'll still look up the gaming blogs and sites." It's merely me saying "guys, chill, we're going to get the info no matter when it comes out."

My real point with the previous post was that if you're this upset now, there's so miniscule a chance you'll want to stick around any longer. Might as well take off and be happy with something else rather than sit with languor. That's all. It's less an inflammatory statement and more a call to logical arms, because in the long run, my fellow gamers enjoying what they have and freely investing money into the machine is a good thing for everyone, especially if it means that they are there to support the things I can't (such as Braid).

[BlueLobstah]

Last year's conference wasn't that bad, so it'll be interesting to see if anything new shows up at this conference. I'm certainly not keeping my expectations up, but should anything interesting be announced it'll be good enough for me.

Nothing solid on who will be liveblogging it yet. Kotaku just posted something saying that they would "post news throughout the night," but nothing about liveblogs. Joystiq hasn't posted anything yet either.

Anyone have a link to a live blogger?

Nintendo just revealed Donut Maker. Thrust the Wiimote into various things to make donut holes! Points are calculated based on what you are submerging the slender controller into.

Hmmm...somehow I think I will have trouble with that blog.

I will probably just keep checking Kotaku and ignoring the comment section. The hate flowing through those kids being 1337 is really annoying.

I remember....I think it was E3 2005 or 2006, and Nintendo's conference was a good hour late. Everyone was sitting in chat rooms making jokes about how "Gosh, Nintendo delays everything."

It's either the planters' album (http://www.peppermillrecords.com/pm007/) my friend put together, The Pogues live, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, or some random Bad Religion. I love choices like these.

EDIT: As it turns out, I hit the NOFX song "The Decline". That should take me through most of the conference.

Music? Lame. I'm rockin' out while playing some Orbital.

At the pace the Nintendo DS has been selling, you might think that the market has been saturated. But we believe we can still expand it.


Hmm....

[ChibiJosh]

So, just to be clear, does "new DS" mean what the lite is to the original DS, or is it more the DS2?

[Strell]

Hmm....

I'm not really sure why, but your response made my laugh my ass off.

I think the painkillers are kicking in.

[Strell]

So, just to be clear, does "new DS" mean what the lite is to the original DS, or is it more the DS2?

From what Broly is saying, I'm thinking Nintendo is gambling with the "another pillar" meaneuver again.

I.e., maybe they want a dedicated gaming DS, a more media-capable DS, and their console line.

If that is the case, this conference is about to get a WHOLE lot uglier, since it will 100% undoubtedly be devoted to non-core-gaming functions.

[KingBroly]

Yeah, no GBA slot in DSi. Activision AM pissed.

It sounds like a phase out of the old DS to the new DS.

[Nibi]

Bionic Commando Rearmed OST

[Strell]

I almost hesistate we adjourn to a chat room, but I wouldn't know the best way to suggest that.

[Cao Cao]

IGN: Iwata announces the company's rumored new DS handheld, called "DS-i." Says that Nintendo believes it can continue to expand the market with this newest of devices. The DS-i will be smaller and will also lose the GBA cart slot from previous versions of the handheld.

GameKyo: 6:52 : 12%, 2.6 millimeters thinner, GBA slot will be excluded.

6:51 : It's going from one system per house to one system per person.

[ChibiJosh]

Yeah, no GBA slot in DSi. Activision AM pissed.

It sounds like a phase out of the old DS to the new DS.

Guess that means I'll continue with my original plan to upgrade to a lite.

There's a joke about Japanese men and 2.6 millimeters in there somewhere ....or maybe about Japanese women in there somewhere...

Regardless, there is a joke in there somewhere.

Edit: @pic

Sigh. So it's just another Lite. So far.

[ProfWho]

No GBA slot makes me sad.

[BlueLobstah]

Ok, my assumptions in an earlier thread were slightly wrong, and I'm taken by surprise.

http://bb.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/static/image/2008/10/02/ninten02.jpg

i = camera?

Slimmer, slightly larger screens (unconfirmed), camera. Basically DSLite 2.0?

[Strell]

Let's take bets. Nintendo will release a way to have the GBA slot integrated into the system for another 50 bones.

[KingBroly]

bigger screens, better speakers system, 300,000 pixels cam

SD Card, camera, both screens are now touch screens. Sounds interesting.

You bastards Nintendo!

SUPPORTS THE VIRTUAL CONSOLE!

[SpazX]

So are they now doing everything we thought they shouldn't do because it's stupid?

[Strell]

So VC on DSi perhaps? Damnit Nintendo

I know you run around at GoNintendo and saw that IGN speculated this might be their "storage solution."

So now instead of cleaning the fridge, we move shit into the storage shed. Great.

Just fucking rip the SD card slot out of the damned Wii and save yourself the 2 bucks per console, Nintendo.

[KingBroly]

Actually, it was just confirmed. DSi supports the VC!

[BlueLobstah]

Whoa, there's onboard memory apparently, so you can load it up with software... like games. You can download games. With Wii Points. Holy cow. Wii Points will be renamed "Nintendo Points."


Watch, on board memory is going to be something like 256mb...

[Cao Cao]

It says "built-in Browser" at gemaga. File browser or web browser?

[KingBroly]

They changed it to Nintendo Points now. I heard something about DSiWare (WTF!?)

EDIT: No VC confirmation yet, sorry.

From Wired:

13:59: More from Gemaga. As the rumors indicated, the DSi has a larger screen, 3.25 inches. There's a camera, and an audio-playing function. The camera is... goodness. 300,000 pixels? Is that 3 megapixels? You can apparently edit pictures using the touch screen. When playing back sounds, you can adjust the pitch and the playback speed. Why's that important? Why, for studying languages or playing music by ear, of course.

14:00: There's an SD memory card slot so you can dump your pictures right to Wii's photo channel, for example

14:04: Whoa, there's onboard memory apparently, so you can load it up with software... like games. You can download games. With Wii Points. Holy cow. Wii Points will be renamed "Nintendo Points."

[ChibiJosh]

13:58　DS Ware will be able to be downloaded from the Nintendo DSi Shop.
13:59　Titles will be placed into Free, 200, 500, and Premium (800) categories. DSi systems that connect by March, 2010 will receive 1000 Points as a gift.

[KingBroly]

18900 yen, November 1 this year in Japan. Rest of the world next year.

[SpazX]

But what the hell? The DS has been out for like 3, 4 years? If there's a higher resolution, two touch screens, then it's a whole new damn system!

[Strell]

Have any power specs shown up yet?

[smelly]

3 Megapixel?

Bit low.. my cell phone can do better.

BUT - smaller with larger screens.. if the quality of those screens improved.. Then I might get one instead of the lite...

(my current DS is one of the big originals.. been considering getting a lite for a while now)

The pictures dont look MUCH different from a lite though

[Kaijufan]

Hopefully you'll be able to link up your shop channel account with your DS Shop account.

[ProfWho]

18900 yen, November 1 this year in Japan. Rest of the world next year.

$180 does seem a little steep since it is competing with the PSP, which so far seems to have more features.

[KingBroly]

I like the idea of giving everyone free money.

[spoo]

18900 yen, November 1 this year in Japan. Rest of the world next year.

Isn't that the same price as a PSP in Japan?

[R1V3R5]

18900 yen, November 1 this year in Japan. Rest of the world next year.

That's $178.586 USD at today's exchange rate. I'm expecting $179.99 here in the states.

^ beat me to it.

[EXStrike]

14:10: The "DS Station" download kiosks in Japanese stores will enter their "second phase." A new service called "Nintendo Zone" will be started, which you can also use at McDonald's. (This must be the "strengthened internet communication" that early reports from Nikkei discussed.)
14:11: Nintendo DSi will be released in white and black color variations, and launch on November 1 for 18900 yen (about $180). Yes, they've just raised the price of Nintendo DS a second time. You knew it was coming.

[KingBroly]

Well, if you sign up with their DS store by March '10, you get 1000 free points.

[BlueLobstah]

I'd like to say I'm not very happy with the price point, but you know everyone will eat it up anyway. Good going Nintendo. :(

[ChibiJosh]

Well, if you sign up with their DS store by March '10, you get 1000 free points.

Well, I imagine that's currently Japan only. Who knows when it will be released here.

[Strell]

Ok new DS is the old coldness. Onto other things now Nintendo. We get that you just made your second money printer.

[pete5883]

OK, if this is a new system, I <3 Nintendo, take all my money. If this is an upgrade of the DS, meaning some DS games will have features that millions of people can't use, making this the Sega CD 2008, then Nintendo is stupid, and I hate them for sticking me with current DS capabilities for another 3 years at least.

Well, except it'll sell a lot better.

[Cao Cao]

I'd like to say I'm not very happy with the price point, but you know everyone will eat it up anyway. Good going Nintendo. :(

They could always lower the price point for the US. Isn't the Lite something like 16,500 yen?

[Kaijufan]

I wonder if this announcement will affect sales of the DS Lite in the US since we're not getting it until next year.

[Cao Cao]

O NOES, Iwata is holding teh bomb!

Sigh... It's like they secretly hate Americans with their big ugly hands, so they continue to make their handhelds smaller. I hope my fat DS never breaks, or I'm SOL.

[Moxio]

This thing reeks.

[KingBroly]

Holy SHIT!

MARIO & LUIGI THREE!!!!!!! maybe

Oh, and that FFCC DS/Wii thing is true

[dyeknom]

As much as I like the idea of dual touch screens, camera and a VC... I don't see myself purchasing one.

But the DQ9 release date in japan is workable. About time Sqeenix.

[Cao Cao]

Now it's Dragon Quest IX and FFCC

[KingBroly]

They're showing DQIX right now it seems

[Cao Cao]

Something about SD memory copy for the Wii? Gemaga.

[Cao Cao]

IGN: To address the lack of Wii memory, you can now download software directly to the SD memory card.

[SpazX]

So is it more powerful and shit or is it basically just another DS? I definitely wasn't going to get one when it was just camera, SD, and no GBA slot, but if it's actually a huge upgrade I might get one eventually.

[Kaijufan]

To address the lack of Wii memory, you can now download software directly to the SD memory card.

But what the hell? The DS has been out for like 3, 4 years? If there's a higher resolution, two touch screens, then it's a whole new damn system!
Sure sounds like a whole new system. VC/DSWare will be amazing, think of the huge library of GB, GBC, GBA games they're just sitting on. Not to mention how extra fucking awesome it will be to take my SNES games on the go (if they allow us to do so).

[Cao Cao]

Hay guess wut guys

I need to change my pants.

Iwata (Holding the head of a dragon): People! YOU ARE FREEE! (In Spring 2009)

[Kaijufan]

Well can we play it directly off the SD card or just download it to an SD card?

[Strell]

how extra fucking awesome it will be to take my SNES games on the go (if they allow us to do so).

Haha, I bet Square is PISSED, because now we KNOW they are ripping us off with a $40 Chrono Trigger rather than a slender 8 buck download.

[ChibiJosh]

How about TOMORROW

I was thinking more like YESTERDAY

[smelly]

That's $178.586 USD at today's exchange rate. I'm expecting $179.99 here in the states.

Using exchange rates make no sense at the moment.

- remember the us economy is tanking!

It'll deffo be different priced here.

[BlueSwim]

Hey, it's Nintendo's solution to the Wii's crappy internal storage! Let's see what Gemaga has to say: You'll be able to download software straight to an SD memory card, and be able to easily copy that software to the Wii. They're rolling this out in Spring 2009. - Wired

So you still have to move things from fridge to fridge? Great!:roll:

[Cao Cao]

Useless stuff: To increase the ratio of Internet-connected Wiis in Japan, Nintendo is making available a three-minute demo movie with the machine, called "What's Possible With Wii." A specific Wi-Fi adapter will be sold.

[ProfWho]

Spring 2009!!!

You are fucking kidding me!!!

That is fucking Bull Shit!!!

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2008/10/custom_1222923665357_ninten01.jpg
It looks like a tiny sniper shot his DS as he was holding it up. And Iwata is not amused by such futile attempts.

Also now that they finally opened up the SD slot, it better be fucking seemless. I want to just plug my SD card in and then the available blocks says eleventy billion.

[RelentlessRolento]

hope DS ware holds up better than wii ware....

Doing so, Nintendo is going to make it possible to download games onto SD cards starting Spring 2009 via the Shopping Channel.

Spring 2009?! People are abandoning ship now! How many CAG Wii forum only fellows have bought a 360/PS3 in the past year?!

[KingBroly]

Anyone notice they didn't mention PLAY from the SD card? And apparently it's only Wii Ware.

[Cao Cao]

So you still have to move things from fridge to fridge? Great!:roll:

I don't know if it specifically says that you have to copy it to int. mem. to play it, I just see where it says that it will be "easier" to copy from the SD to the Wii.

Using exchange rates make no sense at the moment.

Damage is already done. The blood is crusted over and the wound is already sewn up. So it doesn't matter at this point.

Well, except for PawnTakesKing and BlueSwim. :]

Why would you download to SD if you couldnt do anything with it when it got there?

[Cao Cao]

They haven't made it clear which one it is.

[Strell]

I'll be honest, smelly - I can't tell if you are making fun of me or making fun of me making fun of Courageous's comment. :[

[ChibiJosh]

It's ambiguous at this point. Downloading straight to SD and not being able to play seems a little pointless though.

I just dont want to see the standard nonsense you always see on wii threads here.

I dont care if people dont care about wii, theirs is gathering dust, or they've moved on to 360.. Tell us about it in other threads.. This is about the press conference!

So ner.. lets get back to it :-)

[Cao Cao]

IGN Clarifies: A new series of software is coming out called "Let's Tap." It's games like Pikmin that were released on GameCube, adapted for play on Wii.

Here here! I complained about this earlier and I hope it remains in effect for the duration of this thread (even though I'm quite sure it won't).

[FriskyTanuki]

Why would you download to SD if you couldnt do anything with it when it got there?
Why would you tell people to empty their fridges instead of providing a bigger one? All I'm seeing is the word "download" when mentioning the SD card and not "play," so I'm wondering the specifics on this since it wouldn't surprise me that Nintendo forgets this half of the solution.

Plus, the company is launching a new campaign by giving those who cannot connect to the internet 500 points.:lol: I wonder how they prove this?

Edit: Doesn't that contridict the point? What can you do with 500 points if you can't get online?

[BlueLobstah]

Those who have connected their Wii systems to the Internet can help those who haven't and receive a 500 point reward in a campaign.


:-s

[ProfWho]

It's ambiguous at this point. Downloading straight to SD and not being able to play seems a little pointless though.

Exactly. It is worthless to just download directly. Hell I can already transfer the files (it takes longer than it takes to redownload) but I can do it.

Making us wait until Spring 2009 for the ability to move around shit more quickly is Bull Shit.

Punch Out and Sin & Punishment 2 announced for Wii.

MEGATON: Punch Out and Sin & Punishment 2 announced for Wii. Another Code (Trace Memory on DS) announced for Wii.

Probably the same way CheapyD proves that early reviews of games = piracy.

yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

For the Wii version of Animal Crossing, it's possible to swap data over the DS version and use Miis in-game.

That is cool, pointless but neat.

Jesus. I can only imagine what the Wii-equivalent carrier level is going to do.

Probably massage your nuts while you play it. That is about the only way that level could have been any more awesome.

That shit is HUGE in Japan though, I think.

Wow, this is just as big I think:

Nintendo is going to re-release GC classics like Pikmin under a "Enjoy with Wii Selection" lineup.


There goes Pikmin 2 prices on ebay. That's okay, more people need to play this anyway. :rofl:

I wonder what the price point for these will be?

I think that's it.. they've done the stupid and ended with wii music.. i'm going to bed i think

[The Crotch]

Felate. One "l". I think.

EDIT: Come to think of it, that just don't look right. Maybe Spaz is right on this one.

I think they finished after Miyamoto's comments, since Gemaga hasn't posted anything since then.
