Nintendo E3 2009 - Mario times 2! NSMB2, SMG2, Metroid OM, Golden Sun DS, and more!

[J Sin]

IGN's stream is notorious for being behind. You should try GameTrailer's stream: http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/video-press-conference/nintendo


Just popped that one up and clicked Hi-Res. It still looks like a 320x240 blown up to 800x600 though... IGN may be a bit behind but it seems like it's way higher quality.

DSi/Facebook deal sounds cool.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Facebook integration! Just what the DSi needed.

[spoo]

I'm late to the party, had to go to lunch. Solid or shit so far?
New Super Mario Wii (A 4P coop game)
Motion plus stuff
Wii Fit 2
New Final Fantasy Wii
Kingdom Hearts DS
Golden Sun DS
Casual stuff

[Nohbdy]

Facebook integration with the DSi camera.

[Ski Hawk]

lol Facebook

[theflicker]

Too Much DS coverage.

Nintendo had ZERO games I wanted must sell my Wii now

Keep the hits coming, Mr. Twist. I can't get enough of your comments.

New Mario vs. Donkey Kong

FUCKING SWEET. I love those games. Hopefully it's more traditional. Also, DK '94 is a damn compelling reason for DSi VC.

[Scorch]

http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/video-press-conference/nintendo

there's no reason to not watch the GT stream. No lag.

[pop311]

I love the DS, but really, talk about the Wii and the games for it. I hate this gigantic focus on the DS and the lack of any real attention for the Wii. Even the Wii section was filled with DS games and talks about it.

[bigdaddy]

I can save $180 and upload pictures to Facebook using a GOOD camera.

[zewone]

I hope Spirit Tracks isn't the only Zelda game announced. Please. :cry:

[Lone_Prodigy]

I'm settling for a liveblog. Spirit Tracks is playable.

[Scorch]

I'm thinking the first half of the conference will be dedicated to the DS, the last half to the Wii. I hope. Because there's been like.. zero coverage on the Wii, aside from the new Mario and Wii Fit.

[Monsta Mack]

Iwata bitches.

[ChibiJosh]

Come on, new Wii Zelda!

[KaneRobot]

Gamespot blogger: "While user-generated content is hot, Dunaway promises Nintendo isn't getting carried away with it."

That's...an awkward statement for her to make.

[J Sin]

Damn IGN. Their feed is nice but so far behind.

How's the quality on the other streams?

Yeah, I checked out the Gamespot one and it was pretty subpar quality... so I went back to the IGN one and it was like 2-3 minutes behind... as I speak, they haven't mentioned Facebook yet (Gamespot had minutes ago) oh well, I'd rather watch better quality.

Now if there was as good as IGN quality and it wasn't delayed, I'd be all over that.

[zewone]

I'm thinking the first half of the conference will be dedicated to the DS, the last half to the Wii. I hope. Because there's been like.. zero coverage on the Wii, aside from the new Mario and Wii Fit.

Wii Motion Plus for 30 minutes.

[decrot]

why do they always talk about expanding the audience all the time.

[Sir_Fragalot]

I am praying at the end it's like we got one more thing.

Brings out zomg epic title zelda/kid icarus title.

[Friend of Sonic]

I want a Serious Zelda game for my Wii. Is that an oxymoron?

I'm kidding of course. But yeah, E3 is letting me down on the Nintendo side slightly, though I am very happy to see Nintendo remembers Golden Sun. Maybe they can go back to the Gamecube version and finish it for the Wii.

[KingofOldSchool]

GAH NO POWER POINTS!

This isn't a college lecture!

[J Sin]

http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/video-press-conference/nintendo

there's no reason to not watch the GT stream. No lag.


Crappy quality compared to IGN's. But IGN's isn't up to the minute. So quality vs breaking news, your choice :)

[Lone_Prodigy]

Pikmin 3? Please?

[decrot]

Yeah, I checked out the Gamespot one and it was pretty subpar quality... so I went back to the IGN one and it was like 2-3 minutes behind... as I speak, they haven't mentioned Facebook yet (Gamespot had minutes ago) oh well, I'd rather watch better quality.

Now if there was as good as IGN quality and it wasn't delayed, I'd be all over that.

[KaneRobot]

An ethnic Mario Kart session.

[crunchewy]

http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/video-press-conference/nintendo

That seems like a good feed. I don't know if it's lagging or not.

[Lord_Kefka]

Wait, they mention Spirit Tracks but don't live demo? Cock-teasers.

[KaneRobot]

Scorch is right, the GT one is the best. It's actually a second or two ahead of the Gamespot one.

[bigdaddy]

I'm using the Game Trailer feed and seem to be up to date as everyone else on the garbage Nintendo is talking about.

[MorPhiend]

Why are there more trolls than fans in a Nintendo press conference thread? Get a life, people.

[spoo]

This isn't what I want to hear. Wii games too hard? This is a fine line here....

[Tubaker]

These conferences are so awkward, and I love it.

You wont find professional public speakers at E3, thats for sure.

[Lone_Prodigy]

So much... anticipation...

[Nohbdy]

Wait, they mention Spirit Tracks but don't live demo? Cock-teasers.

There's live demos...on the show floor.

[KaneRobot]

http://i42.tinypic.com/ebbo8z.jpg
That guy rules.

[bigdaddy]

Why are there more trolls than fans in a Nintendo press conference thread? Get a life, people.

Just because we don't like you and the garbage Nintendo is talking about doesn't mean we are trolls. How about you get a life and stop bitching that 80% of the people here think that this Nintendo BS is a joke.

[Strell]

Kane, I'll save you the trouble. There's nothing here for you, Project Natal is the hot topic of the moment and will remain as such, and Microsoft's conference is definitely more exciting than this one.

There. You can go now.

[KaneRobot]

...Wii pulse checker. For real.

[Monsta Mack]

Wii Vitality Sensor? Interesting.

[Mr. Beef]

I know that Iwata's first language isn't English, but wow.

I went to nab some breakfast during his speech, and I got back now. He mention anything cool?

[zewone]

Vitality Sensor = GOTY

[Scorch]

VITALITY SENSOR?

FOR GOD'S SAKE NINTENDO. Ugh. What the fuck. A pulse checker?

[Lone_Prodigy]

Wii Vitality sensor?

*facepalm*

[Hiei69]

Vitality Sensor.....?uhhhh is this a game?

[bigdaddy]

When did Nintendo become a doctor's office?

[Strell]

Wtf.

[decrot]

vitality sensor? WTF

whats next? a breathalyzer test

[KaneRobot]

Kane, I'll save you the trouble. There's nothing here for you, Project Natal is the hot topic of the moment and will remain as such, and Microsoft's conference is definitely more exciting than this one.
I'll watch anyway.

Pulse checker 4 life.

[MorPhiend]

Just because we don't like you and the garbage Nintendo is talking about doesn't mean we are trolls. How about you get a life and stop bitching that 80% of the people here think that this Nintendo BS is a joke.

You're the joke. You think it's crap and you're wasting your time here? Sad to be you...

[Lord_Kefka]

There's live demos...on the show floor.

Yeah, I caught that but doesn't do you and I much good does it? I wanted to see video at least.

Iwata says 2 gamers for every 1 maybe who could jump in. Don't use that phrase Iwata. It's a trap!

This has to be building towards something good.

[KingofOldSchool]

Uhhh am I hearing this right, a vitality sensor???

What's next, a Wii Blood Pressure checker?

[Strell]

This could work in an MGS sort of game....could give you away to enemies and so forth.

But that's not gonna happen.

[Monsta Mack]

vitality sensor = goty

qft.

[PR Mega X]

VITALITY SENSOR?

FOR GOD'S SAKE NINTENDO. Ugh. What the fuck. A pulse checker?

I wish I could see the video. I imagine the crowd reaction closely matches the CAG reaction.

[hohez]

easier to fall asleep is right, holy shit.

[spoo]

:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s:-s

[zewone]

vitality sensor? WTF

whats next? a breathalyzer test

That'd actually be somewhat useful though. :lol:

[MightySlacker]

Wii vitality sensor is only the first step.

Next E3 - WiiBGYN. You heard it here first.

Golden Sun, bitches!!!!!!!

Dave

[bigdaddy]

Stop trolling everyone! Why are there so many trolls here!?

Oh yeah because Nintendo has become a joke.

[phantomfriar2002]

Something big is coming...

[KingofOldSchool]

Stimulation?

YES A WII DILDO!!!

[BlueLobstah]

Wtf, vitality sensor?

[Regian]

Vitality sensor.

You have.
To be.
Fucking.
Kidding me.

[Ryukahn]

Holy shit new mario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lone_Prodigy]

I know VR is the future, but seriously.

Oh and new Mario saves the day.

[KaneRobot]

Mario Galaxy 2? Mario 3D something, at least.

[crunchewy]

Whoa. New Super Mario Galaxy too!

[Strell]

Everyone's going to put that on their dick.

[Cao Cao]

Mario Galaxy 2?

[Ski Hawk]

Galaxy 2!

[Monsta Mack]

yay at last

[Scorch]

Mario Galaxy 2.. there we go

[decrot]

finally a decent game
mario

[Dr Mario Kart]

Every horror game needs to incorporate that.

[BlueLobstah]

HOLY SHIT. Mario Galaxy returns! With Yoshi!

[phantomfriar2002]

Stop trolling everyone! Why are there so many trolls here!?

Oh yeah because Nintendo has become a joke.

A joke that's laughing all the way to the bank and outselling everything.

Pretty funny, isn't it?

[KingofOldSchool]

Super Mario Galaxy 2?

[ChibiJosh]

Oh snap!

[Friend of Sonic]

I hope the Vitality Sensor is free so I can find some FYE rebate on it and make 20 bucks.

[Mr. Beef]

Wow, Galaxy 2 looks amazing.

[zewone]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Not Mario!

ZELDA!!!!

Why?!?!

:cry:

[oemor]

yay yoshi is back

[Scorch]

I just sent a mass text out about Wii Vitality Sensor.. what the fuck are they thinking?

[ChibiJosh]

Well played, Nintendo. Show us that 4 player Mario at the beginning and get our hopes down and then POW! right in the kisser.

[spoo]

Wow, Galaxy 2 looks amazing.

Yes it does, did I see Wario?

[Sir_Fragalot]

fucking YES!!!

Mario 3D

Day 1 for me.

[Lord_Kefka]

So I can see this vitality sensor working well with Wii Fit to track heart rate and such.

Scratching my head otherwise. What's the point?

[Strell]

There's no new Zelda being announced after that Galaxy 2 showing.

[KingBroly]

CAMMIE DROPPING THE BOMB! So happy

[Hiei69]

They showed the vitality sensor so you would be more excited to see the new Mario.

[Strell]

Curious....no Miyamoto sneak attack. Hmmm.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Nearly everything in galaxy has an unnecessary sheen on it, ugh.

[decrot]

something huge is coming

[Lost_In_Shadows]

2 new Mario games. This is way better than last years.

[Ryukahn]

Uh oh, now what....

[Lone_Prodigy]

I want Zelda, not Mario!

[KaneRobot]

lol at the faux-sorrow in Reggie's voice. "I read the blogs too..."

[foltzie]

I just sent a mass text out about Wii Vitality Sensor.. what the fuck are they thinking?

That you need to take your doughy self outside, but failing that Nintendo will convince you that 180BPM is the only way to save the Princess.

[Mr. Beef]

There's no new Zelda being announced after that Galaxy 2 showing.
Wasn't there a Zelda DS announcement?

[Bluth Superfan]

Mario Galaxy 2!!!!!! Yes.

[KingofOldSchool]

Wait, we want third party games for the Wii more than Nintendo games?

[bigdaddy]

So Nintendo has Mario for the Wii and nothing else? Isn't the point of the Wii to make new games? Whatever happened to all the new games Nintendo was making? Does Nintendo even make new games anymore? Hell they can make Mario, DK, Kirby, Starfox, F-Zero, Zelda, not new, but at least something different than Mario and Wii BS games.

"Let me brag about how Nitnendo doesn't make any new Wii games anymore, so here are soem third party games..."

[Sir_Fragalot]

Miyamoto didn't make his appearence and we got 50 mins yet. This could be good.

[007]

... so, now third-party stuff? AFTER Galaxy 2?

One of these better be huge, or be followed by something else. Doesn't make sense.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Curious....no Miyamoto sneak attack. Hmmm.

I'm guessing he would only come to announce Pikmin or Zelda.

[Strell]

Wasn't there a Zelda DS announcement?

I know you're not paying attention, but that game was announced at TGS a month or so ago.

[ChibiJosh]

Wasn't there a Zelda DS announcement?

That was announced at Tokyo Game Show (or some other game thing, I can't remember exactly), so it's not new

[Lone_Prodigy]

They're not wrapping with 3 third-party but "hardcore" games are they???

[Cao Cao]

Reggie must be leading up to something. Unless he leaves us hanging, what could be a bigger end-presser announcement than SMG2?

[Strell]

Chance of anything megaton at this point is less than 5%. Believe it.

[KaneRobot]

... so, now third-party stuff? AFTER Galaxy 2?

One of these better be huge, or be followed by something else. Doesn't make sense.
I obviously don't follow the Nintendo presentations as closely, but do they usually end with a big surprise or do they just sort of wind it up and walk off?

[KingofOldSchool]

... so, now third-party stuff? AFTER Galaxy 2?

One of these better be huge, or be followed by something else. Doesn't make sense.

A new peripheral!

[zewone]

No NMH2 love. :cry:

[007]

I assumed at least one of the three would be new. Apparently not.

[PhaperPlane]

Come on Miyamoto, surprise us all. :)

[foltzie]

Well, Nintendo sure put me in my place, I thought that they were certainly out of new prepherial options. Bring on the breathalizer for the new version of Beer Pong on WiiWare

[KaneRobot]

Reggie must be leading up to something. Unless he leaves us hanging, what could be a bigger end-presser announcement than SMG2?
Kojima will come out and announce a Wii game starring Schneider & Diane from the NES Metal Gear. She finally got out of the shower.

[bigdaddy]

Finally!

[Lone_Prodigy]

Here it comes...

[Cao Cao]

Retro's project?

No, Team Ninja.

[Scorch]

Team ninja!?

[Monsta Mack]

Tecmo!

[KaneRobot]

Team Ninja + Nintendo game

[Strell]

Oh fuck.

[zewone]

Team Ninja wtihout Itagaki. :-|

[Scorch]

Metroid!!!!

[Cao Cao]

New Team Ninja Metroid!

[Lone_Prodigy]

Okay not Zelda.

METROID!

[Strell]

Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.oh fuck.
Oh fuck.oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.oh fuck.
Oh fuck.oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.oh fuck.
Oh fuck.

[KaneRobot]

Whoa, Metroid game from Team Ninja.

[KingofOldSchool]

New Metroid!

[bigdaddy]

Metriod!

[BlueLobstah]

Metroid! Wow. Nintendo really sucker punched us.

[Monsta Mack]

Megaton!

[ChibiJosh]

Oh snap! (again!)

[spoo]

Thank god this Metroid isn't 1st person

[decrot]

what happened to retro?

[KingBroly]

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! METROID

fuck YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord_Kefka]

The RE game looked neat. Was that the prisoner from RE:0 in there?

[Scorch]

Epic

[Bluth Superfan]

Wow a Metroid action game from Team Ninja. Now I've seen just about everything.

[KingofOldSchool]

And it's not first person Metroid!

YESSSSS!

[Sir_Fragalot]

fuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuck

Holy shit.

[Scorch]

Mario Galaxy 2, a new Metroid.. fantastic

[KaneRobot]

As long as it's better than Ninja Gaiden II.

[zewone]

Metroid should be fun, graphics are terrible, still hoping it's good.

[bigdaddy]

So what is being released THIS YEAR?!

Metriod won't come out until 2011 (you know it will be delayed).

[Strell]

Super Metroid 2.

Holy shit.

[Tubaker]

I love Team Ninja, game looks cool.

[Lost_In_Shadows]

I'm so glad I kept my wii. I want so many games on it now. It scares me.

[Mr. Beef]

New Metroid, and it looks like it might not be all 1st-person? Gimme.

Also, I didn't know Zelda DS was announced already. :(

[ChibiJosh]

Can we get the trifecta and have a new Zelda announcement?

[KingofOldSchool]

I wish we'd get a new Kirby game for the Wii though.

[Friend of Sonic]

!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

WTF I want to watch the damn presentation.

METROID FROM TEAM NINJA details plz 2D? DS?

[crunchewy]

It all looked pretty great to me. OK, so not the vitality sensor. ;^)

[Tubaker]

its over? really?

[Cao Cao]

It's over.

[bigdaddy]

I give them a D+ just because of Metriod.

[Monsta Mack]

Wow I almost wet myself after that Metroid presentation. That was fucking delicious.

[Bluth Superfan]

!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

WTF I want to watch the damn presentation.

METROID FROM TEAM NINJA details plz 2D? DS?

3D on Wii. Looks like a DMC/NG type action game.

[Hiei69]

Looks like I'll actually buying some wii games in future. Pretty solid conference, Nintendo.

[KaneRobot]

Can't wait to check the pulse of my throbbing member.

[PhaperPlane]

That's all folks!

No Miyamoto? How weird...:-s

[Lone_Prodigy]

Well that was... interesting.

Good:
NSMB Wii
Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid
Golden Sun DS

Meh:
Wii Fit Plus

Bad:
No Miyamoto
Wii Vitality Sensor

[Ski Hawk]

So Metroid, which last game was released 2 years ago gets a trilogy and a whole new game but Zelda whose last console game was 2.5 years ago gets nothing console wise.

[bigdaddy]

It all looked pretty great to me. OK, so not the vitality sensor. ;^)

Oh... so you will be first in line for Women's Murder Club?

[Lost_In_Shadows]

That was way better than last years. Nintendo did well.

[Friend of Sonic]

I give them a D+ just because of Metriod.
I usually like you. But are your posts for real? Mario Galaxy 2 plus an apparently delicious Metroid developed by Team Ninja is kind of like Microsoft announcing Halo 3 2 and a Team Ninja developed... uh... Blinx or something. Nintendo had a solid presentation. Give them credit.

[Regian]

Well, that Team Ninja deal just woke me the hell up.

I am impressed and interested.

[Strell]

Samus suplexing Ridley.

Life is complete.

[bigdaddy]

That's all folks!

No Miyamoto? How weird...:-s


There are rumours that Nintendo will hold some type of event in Japan after E3, maybe he stayed behind to announce something really huge?

[Bavgate]

No Pikmin?! RAAAAAAAAAGE!

[crunchewy]

Well that was... interesting.

Good:
NSMB Wii
Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid
Golden Sun DS

Meh:
Wii Fit Plus

Bad:
No Miyamoto
Wii Vitality Sensor

Well, I'm looking forward to Wii Fit Plus, but I'm not the norm here. :) Also I think the Wii MotionPlus looks awesome, though we already knew that, and Wii Sports Resort looks to be a lot of fun (but, again, perhaps I'm not the norm here.)

[EXStrike]

=O at conference

[spoo]

So Metroid, which last game was released 2 years ago gets a trilogy and a whole new game but Zelda whose last console game was 2.5 years ago gets nothing console wise.

On top of that Zelda: TP wasn't a true Wii game.

[Monsta Mack]

Team Ninja + Nintendo = Metroid Ownage. Almost saved their entire conference right there.
Mario Galaxy 2 the sequel to one of the highest rated games of all time was great news.
New Super Mario Brothers Wii version looked pretty good.
Golden Sun was the best DS announcement for me.
Wii Pulse = wtf?
Rest of the show was pretty boring.

I'd give it a D++

[KingofOldSchool]

Good:

Metroid
SMG 2
Wii Fit +

Meh:

New SMB
Kingdom Hearts

Bad:

Vitality Sensor

[blueweltall]

I'm excited for Mario Galaxy 2 and the new Metroid but where's Zelda?

[pop311]

Metroid... I dunno, I don't have a good feeling about that. The NSMBfW game is lackluster, and SMG2 is AWESOME. I just don't know how to feel. The conference was reallllllly short.

[KingofOldSchool]

That was way better than last years. Nintendo did well.

Well that wasn't hard to accomplish.

[foltzie]

No Pikmin?! RAAAAAAAAAGE!

Meh, Nintendo held back Pikmin and Zelda for a future event. Learn to dole out the announcements....

Still Nintendo, wouldn't the vitality sensor have done over better with the audience in Japan better?

[RelentlessRolento]

Metroid looks like Metroid: God of War

It's team ninja, but it's not the same old team of Itagaki, so I'm skeptical.

kinda disappointed about no DSi VC news... oh well.


anyone else lol when they had "Why join a book club, when you can join a woman murder club!"

:lol:

[crunchewy]

Oh... so you will be first in line for Women's Murder Club?

No, but unlike you I'm not impossibly hung up on Nintendo going after a variety of markets. Good for them.

[bigdaddy]

I usually like you. But are your posts for real? Mario Galaxy 2 plus an apparently delicious Metroid developed by Team Ninja is kind of like Microsoft announcing Halo 3 2 and a Team Ninja developed... uh... Blinx or something. Nintendo had a solid presentation. Give them credit.


Nintendo makes one new 3D Wii game a year? When does SMG2 come out? This year? More of the same from the last game. NSMB... more of the same. Metriod won't come out until 2010 at the earliest... so what is there to fill between titles?

It's not just my problem with Nintendo, it's all the companies. Xbox is just a bunch of Halo spinoffs and ripoffs, there is no longer anything creative being made in the video game industry. I was hoping Nintendo would try something new and daring, but now that they are raking in the money why bother spending it to make games?

[crunchewy]

Why no love for the New Super Mario Bros. Wii? I loved the DS game and I can't see why they would screw up a Wii version.

[zewone]

D+.

Metroid definitely saved it from being the worst.

[ZForce]

their big 2009 game is New Super Mario Wii. And I'm perfectly happy with that. New 2d mario FTW

[n8rockerasu]

I still have NO idea what Nintendo's Big Christmas 2009 game is???

Wii Resort or Wii Fit 2 or Spirit Tracks??

Probably Spirit Tracks and NSMB: Wii. They did announce that NSMB was a Holiday 2009 title.

[Lord_Kefka]

Hmmmm, I gotta say C+ overall.

Why? It's what we kinda expected/wanted and not much more.

New Super Mario Brothers on the Wii. - Cool, especially 4 player. Key gameplay remains.
Golden Sun - I personally didn't get into them, but it's nice to see the fan reaction so I'm leaning good.
Mario Galaxy 2 - Great to see, same core gameplay. Tons of sequel-itis across all platforms nowadays.
New Metroid - Team Ninja? Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Big save there Nintendo.

I'd say it turned out like a standard E3 presentation.

[evanft]

don't expect Mario Galaxy 2 or New Metroid in 2009 at all.

This. Don't expect them to be that great, either. Expect the usual "OMG!!" before getting the game, then "WTF? Why is this so fucking easy?" during.

[bigdaddy]

No, but unlike you I'm not impossibly hung up on Nintendo going after a variety of markets. Good for them.

That's not my problem. this is Nintendo's time and they are wasting it on Murder's Club bullshit? All Nintendo did was "Here are a few games we are making, but to hold you over until they are released in several years, by these 3D games that most likely will be badly made".

[Strell]

Time to head out since this place is going to be overrun with stupid flame comments now.

Since this generation is nothing more than interminal unhappiness and I'M HAVING MORE FUN THAN YOU SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT IT ON A MESSAGE BOARD THIS LOUD.

Cheers all.

[xpag406]

NSMB (4 Player Co-Op!), SMG2 (With Yoshi!) & Metroid Other M = Instant Day 1 Buys!
The rest of the conference felt... Underwhelming.

[MightySlacker]

Reggie just said Retros Studios was already up to something not Metroid, but couldn't say anything about it yet. Hmmm.

Dave

[decrot]

i was hoping for another mario kart. i dont care if its the same game with more tracks. its my fav. game of this gen

[Monsta Mack]

I still have NO idea what Nintendo's Big Christmas 2009 game is???

Wii Resort or Wii Fit 2 or Spirit Tracks??

Well lots of stuff to release this holiday for the DS. They also have Wii Fit + out in the fall. New Super Mario Brothers Wii to carry them into the holidays. The casuals will eat everything up so they don't have to worry about sales.

Disappointing if Galaxy doesn't come out till next year, Metroid to be expected since It's a work in progress.

[Mr. Beef]

It's all Sony now. Let's see if they muck it up by mentioning HOME, or show us something wild.

Is Mr. Twist bugging anyone besides me? I've never seen someone complain as much as he is.

[QiG]

I still have NO idea what Nintendo's Big Christmas 2009 game is???



Good question.. what is coming out this holiday season?

Was hoping for Pikmin, but the Mario fanboy in me is satisfied.

[Friend of Sonic]

I did kind of want to have a new Zelda announced so I can mark my calender three Christmases from now so I know when I can buy it.

[Purple Flames]

That Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid announcements really pulled out an 11th hour victory for the conference.

I'll give them a B+ for those two as well as the new M&L DS game, New SMB Wii, and Golden Sun DS. Reshowing Dead Space, The Conduit, and RE didn't hurt either.

[Monsta Mack]

Well at least we can expect Zelda to be announced next year along with Pikmin.

When does Sony's conference start?

[evanft]

It doesn't look like anything is coming this year, except maybe NSMB.

[Mr. Beef]

Sony starts in another 30 minutes.

Aside from Iwata and some of Reggie's dorkier moments, I liked this presentation.

[KaneRobot]

Well at least we can expect Zelda to be announced next year along with Pikmin.

When does Sony's conference start?

2 pm EST, 11 PST



Not much of a fan of the Ninja Gaiden games but that Metroid trailer has me interested. I'll get in on that 4-player SMB too. Just wish the latter was for the DS instead of the Wii.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Time to rack up the GS/EB credit for preorders.

[Lord_Kefka]

Should I switch to GT.com for Sony?

[crunchewy]

Their presentation style is still a disaster, though no doubt it was hurt even further by last years presentation which brought in a highly skeptical crowd (there and online) unwilling to give applause easily. But what they showed was great (with the obvious exception). Does anyone have a complete list of the games they showed?

[bigdaddy]

I'll give Sony nothing less than a C if they can show up anywhere close to being on time. :lol:

[gunm]

Man, when not even SMB can't generate much applause you know you're in big trouble.

Overall a yawner of a presser for me. Not as bad as uBisoft or EA, but still...not many bullet points in there...

[ChibiJosh]

Is Mr. Twist bugging anyone besides me? I've never seen someone complain as much as he is.

I think he bugs everyone, and I'm sure that's what he's trying to do.

[Salamando3000]

Is Mr. Twist bugging anyone besides me? I've never seen someone complain as much as he is.

I've learned to just ignore him. Nothing of value was lost.

As for the presentation, just about all of my sentiments have already been echoed here. Besides the two Wii Mario titles and the new Metroid title, it was very lackluster. Their game seemed to be to play up their more immediate releases, while Microsoft went more long-term.

[Strell]

People are complaining about release dates, when everything MS showed is 2010 or later? When do you people think Natal is showing up - Christmas?

Splendid.

Again, Mr. Twist is a twice banned 360 fanboy, used to be named Ice Cold. But the mods won't do a thing about it.

[KaneRobot]

Should I switch to GT.com for Sony?

Seems to be the most current, and it has been stable for everyone as far as I know.

Love the order of the last two posts above this.

Team Ninja + Nintendo = Metroid Ownage. Almost saved their entire conference right there.

It pretty much did, honestly.

That game probably sparks the highest interest from me. SMG2 does a little bit (I never finished it) and WiiMotionPlus basically interests me only for Tiger Woods 10. Wii Sports Resort doesn't particularly tickle my fancy.

Everything else I didn't mention really didn't do too much else for me. I don't have a DSi, so all that downloadable stuff doesn't hit me like it would for the others with DSi's.

I'm also taking one gigantic three Quarter Pounder and large fry shit on the Wii Vitality Sensor. Why? Just why?

EDIT: Also going to add that I think this year's conference was better than last year's. Not by a whole lot, though.

[h3llbring3r]

I think he bugs everyone, and I'm sure that's what he's trying to do.
He does, he's BCF all over again. Don't worry about it though.

[rickshankshaw]

Dead Space, No More Heroes 2, The Conduit all are on my pick-up list.

Why no love for the New Super Mario Bros. Wii? I loved the DS game and I can't see why they would screw up a Wii version.

New Super Mario Bros. DS is one of my favorite recent games but I'm not that excited for New Super Mario Bros. Wii for one reason; It looks like they are focusing more on a 4P co-op game than an amazing 1P experience that Super Mario Bros. is all about. The Wii Doesn't need another Mario Kart or Smash Bros. but it needs more solid single player experiences. /married but kidless old man

I didn't watch MS, but I figured they said Halo no less than 100 times. the next system will be called the Halobox 4D! :)

However at least MS seems to be making games, something Nintendo seems to have taken the back step to.

[Sir_Fragalot]

Wait there is still Tokyo Game Show, Zelda might be announced there. I mean they have to have something for TGS :pray:

[DarkSageRK]

Well, it was good for a Nintendo conference...

Didn't really want anything. Except for Wii Vitality. That's the kind of innovation I like. Along with rail-gun shooters.

[Scorch]

i love the ignore list

[Mr. Beef]

Can't wait for a lot of that stuff. Maybe I should try out Golden Sun. Seems like I might have time to get through at least one of them before the DS version arrives. Curse my attention span.

[pete5883]

NSMBW looks fun. So, so glad that Nintendo has wised up and made a 2nd 3D Mario on the same platform.

Metroid looks cool, but does Team Ninja's involvement mean I'm going to be throwing my controller out the window in frustration? And are we not supposed to notice that Other M is an anagram for Mother?

I think they really should've left out their Vitality Sensor thing. It was more funny than impressive.

Edit: I forgot Golden Sun DS. Haaaaaaaaaaaated Golden Sun 1.

[Sc4rfac3]

i give nintendo b-/c+ it was ok still not too much im looking forward to.

First thing I thought of as well.

I just hope they make sure the camera doesn't suck. Ninja Gaiden II was pretty much ruined for me thanks to this.

[Snake2715]

I love it when trolls repeat themselves.

I am trying to find some video of th Tecmo metroid game... I missed the E3 feeds.

[ananag112]

When they were talking about RPGs, I thought they would finally announce Mother 3/Earthbound 2 for the US. Sadly they did not.

Decent showing for Nintendo. NSMB Wii reminds me of Four Swords on the GameCube. Should be fun, but I think it should have been a Wii Ware game. Mario Galaxy 2 looks nice, but I thought the first one was meh. Yoshi is heavily featured though and it looked pretty fun. Mother: Other M seems like it has potential and I am a fan of Ninja Gaiden, so hopefully it turns out good. Still, I think the graphics of the game look a bit disappointing.

Wow. I didn't see the conference. Very impressive. 2 for 2 in great conferences this year.

If you're heavily disappointed you're either:

1) Incredible insatiable

2) Someone bitter

3) Some console warrior (for the love of God, give your favorite console head and don't shit up topics. Thanks)

Or all three.

[FriskyTanuki]

I liked seeing New Super Mario Bros and Mario Galaxy 2, but there was about an hour between new Wii announcements. Metroid Other M was cool, too, but I was expecting more variety in the franchises they visted. Not more of the same franchises we've seen on the Wii already and will see again before these new games come out (Metroid Prime Trilogy). I don't even recall when those games are going to be out, besides Metroid for next year.

DS did okay with Mario & Luigi, Kingdom Hearts, and that was about it for me.

I have no clue why Nintendo's aiming for diabetics with the Vitality add-on and what we're supposed to say when Iwata built it up.

Metroid looks fantastic. Bulldog into a headshot? COUNT ME IN!

Super Mario Galaxy 2 should be solid, but I wish was something Earth-based this time to keep the Galaxy theme fresh. It just feels like a typical Nintendo sequel.

[lilboo]

Really wish New Super Mario Bros 2 is 4 player co-op WITH Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach.. ya know, the four people from Mario bros 2 ;)

That was my dream game.

:applause: at that, Metroid, and Galaxy 2.

[laj22us]

about that whole pre programmed waggle commands, what exactly are going to be the xbox's controls for its Natal interface...

jump, jump,wave arm, punch arm, jump, jump, wave arm, kick

oh, yeah, much better. imagine how it is going to be when they try to replicate multiple functionality/commands with that thing, its not like they have any buttons to assist it. Dunno, but I'm not looking forward to it at this point. I see alot of jumping around and waving your limbs, people were already complaining about the waggle movements :roll:

Very surprising conference by Nintendo, lots of good stuff in there. Lets see what Sony brings up next.

[MorPhiend]

And are we not supposed to notice that Other M is an anagram for Mother?
I hate you for pointing that out.

It's not happening. Let it go. :(

[lombarvm]

If Nintendo is working on the project with Team Ninja you better believe Nintendo will not let them put out crap. Especially for a title like Metroid.

[zewone]

Wouldn't it be referring to "Mother Brain" not the RPG? :-?

[ChibiJosh]

Is NSMB 4 Player Online Co-Op or do people have to go out and buy 3 more WiiMotes

3 WiiMotes $105 + NSMB game $50

Ouch

Because this is the first game that allows for 4 players, I guess.

[laj22us]

Nintendo would rather delay the title than put out crap. Sure, delays become a joke sometimes, but you really gotta respect them for their dedication to quality

[h3llbring3r]

By quoting you circumvent the ignore list.
Also, apparently you can't sync wiimotes to more than one wii? God forbid you bring your own controller to play video games at someone else's home. Ouch!

[BlueLobstah]

For those of you that missed the stream, GameTrailers has Mario Galaxy 2 up.

Big franchise on Wii Ware instead of packaged = throwing away $$.

Peach probably got her dumb ass kidnapped again.

Indeed.

[SuperPhillip]

You can check out Nintendo's press site. They have other games coming that weren't at the conference. This is how we found out about Mario Party DS and Super Paper Mario.

Yeah. Nintendo wants to stimulate Wii sales in Japan. Wiiware won't do that.

People are complaining about release dates, when everything MS showed is 2010 or later?

2009:
Forza 3
Halo: ODST
Left 4 Dead 2

Still not a lot, but it's still 3 games. People are complaining about the release dates because there ain't shit for the Wii, so any new game that actually looks worthwhile is gonna be highly desired.

[foltzie]

Why didn't they hardly get any applause??

They were all wearing the vitality sensor, duh.

[Blackout]

The Mario games look good. I'm really excited for Metroid but I don't have a Wii and won't buy one until it's dirt cheap. The conference was good. Waaaayy better than last year.

What's up with that RE game? Didn't Steve die in Code Veronica, or is my memory hazy?

No, that's just ignorance for most people. It's like they purposefully ignore news on good games so they can harp on garbage to justify their anger towards the Wii. It's really sad.
