Nintendo E3 Conference Discussion - Controller Speaker - Always On - Yoshi's Island 2

[SpottedNigel]

The world is watching. Nintendo has more people in thier corner than they've had in many years. Will they make a spectacular showing that gets every form of news media to acknowledge thier innovation, or will they stumble and lose everything they've worked for over the last (at least) 2 years.

Join us in AIM Chatroom "CAG" a bit before the confrence to throw out as much inane commentary as possible before Reggie makes us numb.

Wii.

Live from Gamespot. Same link you'd get from Nintendo.com

Live via Gametrailers.com...no clue what button works when and how. Guess Wii'll find out.

For the hell of it:

[botticus]

4.5 hours from now, correct?

[Dr Mario Kart]

I've got popcorn and alcohol all ready to go. I expect to have the time of my life watching this. The bar is set HIGH.

Will be Edited for 'OH SNAP' response later.

OH SNAP!

[Jaket]

i will go ahead and join the waiting list

i should be at school.... fuckIT!

[Z-Saber]

I might have to work around the house, but I'll be watching if I can.

By the way, who has the best streaming coverage? Link please.

[SpottedNigel]

www.gamespot.com
Nintendo is using them for thier feed as well.

[evilmax17]

Got my headphones already hooked up in the office. Nothing's getting done today!

[Z-Saber]

I'm guessing there little Nintendo bar/button will change to have live streaming options?

[Dr Mario Kart]

gametrailers.com is supposed to have a high def feed. I dont know the quality of 1ups. But there are lots of options.

[Reality's Fringe]

I'm going to be in exams. This is a sad day indeed.

[SpottedNigel]

I'm guessing there little Nintendo bar/button will change to have live streaming options?

Yep. The button went live about an hour/45 minutes before the Sony confrence.

[Z-Saber]

My concern is knowing exactly where to access these feeds. I don't want to scramble to find it when the conference starts.

EDIT:Yep. The button went live about an hour/45 minutes before the Sony confrence.
Okay, thanks. At least I'll have that, but now I'm more interested in the hi-res feed from GameTrailers.

[Autumn Star]

Wow, I picked quite a day to be sick!
I'm totally watching both conferences live!

[botticus]

Hmm... was the GameSpot feed crapping out in the Sony conference for people watching free, or everyone? Debating if I pay $3 to subscribe.

[Ikohn4ever]

4hrs cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpottedNigel]

Hmm... was the GameSpot feed crapping out in the Sony conference for people watching free, or everyone? Debating if I pay $3 to subscribe.

It crapped out completely once, and some people had glitches.
I paid the extra $3 last night after the confrence so I could watch Nintys in a better resolution :)

[botticus]

I am now a GameSpot Plus member, so hopefully something doesn't keep me away from my computer at 12:30.

[evanft]

Man, the Nintendo conference is gonna pwn.

[dcfox]

Sadly I'll be at work. And since I can't access any of the other gaming websites from here, I'm relying on CAG to keep me updated.

[cdeener]

I will probably do with this conference like I have done with all the conferences I have watched last year and this year wait until Gamespot has up the downloadable version several hours after it ends just to see it. Like I am doing right now downloading the Sony Conference from yesterday. So, I don't have to deal with losing the feed and lag.

[SpottedNigel]

It's something about seeing it live and chatting with people at the same time that you can never replicate after the fact. I want to know that my jaw is dropping at the same time as everyone elses.

[ArthurDigbySellers]

Exactly, or colletively groaning when the news is less than spectacular - like I did hundreds of times with Sony's last night.

I thought I would be working from home today on my nice 5 Mbps cable connection. As luck would have it I have to work from my wife's office with their POS 125 Kb connection. Needless to say I am not a happy camper.

[Strell]

As Nigel suggested, PLEASE FEEL FREE to come into AIM Chatroom "cag" in 2.5 hours at the start of the conference.

IF you cannot get there on your own and need an invite, please feel free to PM me and/or message me on AIM under "Zeiganfreid." That should be in my profile as well.

Hopefully we'll get a few people like yesterday, which was an amazing amount of fun during Sony's conference.

[Roufuss]

I can just see this thread now... pages and pages of "OMG Wii is $200 - $250 I CAN BUY TWO OF THEM FOR ONE PS3" and "LOL NINTENDO IS SO COOL I HOPE THEY DONT ABANDON WII LIKE THEY DID THE GAMECUBE"

Having fun making obvious predictions this morning?

[Roufuss]

Having fun making obvious predictions this morning?

Yep, I enjoy feeling like Nostradamus.

I honestly think I might wait on the Wii now, considering Nintendo dropped Gamecube so fast... the system is pretty much already dead, except for Twilight Princess which will be better on the Wii anyways. Their systems start out awesome, but then kind of fizzle out.

[SpottedNigel]

...and the xbox has such an amazing amount of support from MS? If Gamecube had more 3rd party support and an installed base like the PS2/PS1 THEN i'd be worried about them dropping it so fast. Instead, its a dead system, and Nintendo now has a chance to fix most of thier mistakes (and so far, it looks they've done a damn good job)

[hufferstl]

I hope they announce the pricing for the virtual console, and a console price of $199.

[Roufuss]

I don't own a 360 either :p

Nintendo can at least port their games over that are still in Japan in the meantime, just to have SOMETHING, like Nintendo Puzzle Collection, instead of a release list filled with filler garbage. I mean, Gamestop only has about 20 titles to preorder for now, until the end of the year, and only two of them are worth something... one is a re-release, at that.

I mean, really, how hard is it to localize Nintendo Puzzle Collection? I guess I'll just always be bitter.

Hell, even the Xbox has fledgling third party support, Gamecube dosen't even have that much. I'm just worried that if the Wii starts doing poorly, they'll abandon that and just ride the portable coat-tails, much like they did with the Gamecube ---> DS.

[Z-Saber]

GameFAQs poll of the day is awesome. I like how over 50% say the system is overpriced or laugh at the tilt functionality.

[botticus]

What are you going to be waiting for exactly? I guess if they follow the path of the GC, they'll stop supporting the Wii in four years and you can get it for $100. But it's kinda silly to compare the Wii to the GameCube as a product.

[Purkeynator]

I agree. Why can't they bring over a few things that the Japanese got and we didn't like Puzzle Collection and Donkey Konga 3? They did it when the N64 was dying when they brought over DR Mario 64. The release list looks pretty bleak except for Zelda. Bring over something, anything!

[Z-Saber]

It's funny to think that Twilight Princess will sell Gamecubes AND Wiis.

[evilmax17]

Pregame starts at 11AM EST.

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/09/engadget-and-joystiqs-live-coverage-of-nintendos-wii-e3-event/

[Roufuss]

I think I'm the only one on this site that could care less about the Wii right now... I don't think Nintendo is going to show anything shocking, I mean, everyone has already guessed at price, functionality, etc etc.

What I REALLY want them to announce is "Hey, look, at this! Mother 1 and 2 (Earthbound) is finally getting ported to the US on the GBA!! Yea!! And we're going to port Mother 3 as well!!!"

This will be the... 3rd E3 I've been waiting for this announcement? Maybe now that Mother 3 is out, Nintendo will port all 3 games at once.

Or maybe they just never will, because they are idiots. Thanks for publishing everyone else's GBA RPG's, but not your own.

[Z-Saber]

I'm fine with my perfectly emulated Mother and Earthbound. Though Mother 3 would be nice, I'm sure some fan group will translate it.

[basketkase543]

It's funny to think that Twilight Princess will sell Gamecubes AND Wiis.

Twilight Princess is going to be my Wii killer app :D

[Apossum]

Reggie will walk out to "Wii will rock you"

[Purple Flames]

I gotta eat at 12 and then jet back to my room for the conference. Nothing is gonna stop me from tuning in today.

[guyver2077]

lets see how i pull this off.. im at work

[evilmax17]

11:05 am - We're live at the Kodak Theater in downtown Hollywood, it's the usual who's-who of the videogame journalism world. We actually just saw Miyamoto cruising around amongst the herd, but we heard he vanished down a warp pipe.

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/09/engadget-and-joystiqs-live-coverage-of-nintendos-wii-e3-event/

[Dr Mario Kart]

you're quick. I refreshed to that within the first MINUTE it was up

[botticus]

Reggie will walk out to "Wii will rock you"
Even if I hated Nintendo at the end of the conference, that scene would make it all worthwhile.

[evilmax17]

You know it's funny, I haven't been thinking of the name "Wii" at all. I'm already almost completely used to it, and I didn't even think that they might address any concerns over it. They were smart in releasing the name when they did, because there doesn't seem to be any internet talk regarding it. It all seems to be focused on the games/product.

[Scorch]

I'm used to "Wii" as well, but I still call it the Revolution..

A little over an hour.. hype level to the extreme!!!!!!

I'm fine with my perfectly emulated Mother and Earthbound. Though Mother 3 would be nice, I'm sure some fan group will translate it.

Work is already underway

www.mother3.org

[RAMSTORIA]

im sad, ill be at work.

[Strell]

Start getting in AIM chatroom cag people

[Cubana2004]

Shame i'm at work, AIM chatrooms are blocked (the pleasures of working at a school) as well as the feeds. Hope the news is good folks.

[Grave_Addiction]

Reggie will walk out to "Wii will rock you"

Bwahahaha hahaha.

Genious, Lloyd. Pure genious!

[evilmax17]

11:25 am - The crowd's obviously getting a little anxious. We're just a few of minutes away now. EV-DO is a little spotty, but it's holding up.

11:29 am - We're shuffling in now, about to find our seats. Stay tuned as we get prepped and ready to liveblog.

[Apossum]

Bwahahaha hahaha.

Genious, Lloyd. Pure genious!

Wait a sec, isn't the conference scheduled to start an hour from now?

[evilmax17]

Wait a sec, isn't the conference scheduled to start an hour from now?
Yup. This is pregame live blogging. They're probably going to be sitting in the hall for an hour, describing the stage.

[Kaijufan]

I think you're right. They must be sitting down now to get a good seat.

[Apossum]

shall we take bets on the exact price?

$199 is my guess -- not too expensive, but not as cheap as a DS Lite.

Also, Reggie will bring out a bruised and battered Ken Kutaragi and say something to the effect of "this is what happens when you screw Reggie in the ass!"

[DomLando]

I can't wait!!! Nintendo better steal the show...

[Strell]

Reggie is going to come out on a rope, dressed like a ninja AND a pirate. He's going to eat a PSP and destoy Sony's booth with his laser vision.

Then he's going to fly around the room, proclaiming all names are now in his possession.

We're going to see him battle Sony's soul, destroying it with a flurry of punches.

It's going to be ass kicking. For real.

Edit: FEED IS ABOUT TO GO LIVE. COME TO CHAT PPL.

[DomLando]

How do you get to the chat?

[Genocidal]

I'm in CAG, gonna go grab some lunch so I can hopefully stay awake for this thing (up all night studying for an exam).

[Strell]

Open up AIM, tell it to join a chat room, type in cag

If you want to be invited, just post in here or msg me - Zeiganfreid

[evilmax17]

Where is the feed about to go live?

[SpottedNigel]

it just went live

Join AIM chat room "CAG" NOW

[evilmax17]

Woo live at Gamespot!

[Strell]

Everyone.

Prepare your ass for kicking.

[SpottedNigel]

Screen name?

[ArthurDigbySellers]

You still have a half hour to prepare. The conference doesn't start until 9:30 am PST.

[basketkase543]

Woo-hoo!

[SpottedNigel]

I want to be EXTRA prepared. This is a new holiday for me. Wiiday

[chewster777]

I should be studying for exams, but this is Nintendo we're talking about. Can't wait.

[Snake2715]

You bastards in chat better come here to talk to... Some of us at work cant get chat without getting watched.

[botticus]

Chat is better for pre-gaming without causing the 300+ posts in the Sony thread I waded through before getting to actual news. I'll probably hope over here once things start getting announced.

[RelentlessRolento]

screw AIM... I'm watching this thing in shitty full-screen :)

At least the music is more original than sony's and at least makes more sense.

[Dogpatch]

Hope this is not 2 hrs long. Gotta get some sleep sometime. :razz:

[RelentlessRolento]

Hope this is not 2 hrs long. Gotta get some sleep sometime. :razz:


yeah I just woke up... I'm guessing most people who woke up to watch this are going to be too tired to watch M$'s.

[CAG 79]

Just joined the cag chat. Really looking forward to this conference.

[RelentlessRolento]

Just joined the cag chat. Really looking forward to this conference.

Guarantee it will be the best confrence out of the 3. Nintendo has too much on the line for it to not be.

[evilmax17]

12:15 am - We're all seated and situated. The theater is huge with three mezzanines. Couple thousand seats, perhaps.

12:17 am - We're sitting in the Kodak theater waiting for the press corps, VIPs, and assorted industry folk to file in, ever so slowly. Pictochat sessions are starting to fill up as people take their seats and whip out their portables. The announcer just told us to turn off all wireless and bluetooth devices before the presentation begins -- could that be so that our bluetooth doesn't interfere with the Wii's wireless capabilities? Sounds like a hint to us.

[Dogpatch]

yeah I just woke up... I'm guessing most people who woke up to watch this are going to be too tired to watch M$'s.

I work 3rd shift. Have not been to bed yet. Gotta be up at least by 7:30est.

[munch]

hold on, i'm only hearing shitty music from the GS feed. what's the deal?

[RelentlessRolento]

hold on, i'm only hearing shitty music from the GS feed. what's the deal?


starts in about 10 min

[ArthurDigbySellers]

hold on, i'm only hearing shitty music from the GS feed. what's the deal?

Still 10 mins until Go Time.

[evanft]

Holy shit, that's the theater they use for the finals in American Idol.

[SpottedNigel]

Yep. They went all out. I wonder what kind of press they'll have on TV today and in papers tomorrow

[shipwreck]

That whole thing about turning off all wireless devices better just be a precaution and not something we have to worry about in our homes.

[munch]

Still 10 mins until Go Time.

so you're hearing that, everybody music too?

[evilmax17]

Yup, currently club music, with a static Nintendo test pattern.

[Dogpatch]

so you're hearing that, everybody music too?

Ya, a little dance music coming through.

[hufferstl]

Hit me with your best shot Nintendo,and make it count.

[evilmax17]

12:23 am - We've been informed that the program will start promptly at 9.30 am PST, right on time.

[RelentlessRolento]

5 min and counting... I hope htey are on time unlike sony.

[evanft]

OMG IT CHANGED!!

Yeah, I'm excited.

[SpottedNigel]

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/09/engadget-and-joystiqs-live-coverage-of-nintendos-wii-e3-event/4#comments

It's so nice looking in there....

[munch]

This music is terrible. . . it kills the waiting.

[evilmax17]

The hype is overwhelming. My heart is in my throat.

[RelentlessRolento]

This music is terrible. . . it kills the waiting.

in some ways it's better than sony's greatest hits mix.

[Dogpatch]

This music is terrible. . . it kills the waiting.

Have a few of these :beer: and things will be better.

[RelentlessRolento]

should start any second.

[cdeener]

Well it looks like it isn't starting on time.

[Dogpatch]

Nintendo copying Sony now? :razz: Their late.

[RelentlessRolento]

Well it looks like it isn't starting on time.

blame it on sony.

[munch]

I wish I could get in on the chat. I can't pull AIM up at the computer lab.

[jkam]

Can someone invite me to the Cag room? AIM: jkam101

[shipwreck]

12:33.59 -
Fine, maybe theyre not starting on time after all. Theres a healthy buzz anyway, even though the theatres nowhere near full - which is unusual for Nintendo conferences, as theyre normally packed to the gills.

Kelly Clarkson owns you Nintendo.

[Rig]

So, the music plays for a few seconds, then I just have the static logo, correct?

[Z-Saber]

Is the Gamespot feed totally black for anyone else or am I having some very inopportune video trouble? I hear the music just fine.

[evilmax17]

Its On!

[Tromack]

yay

[hufferstl]

sweet. its starting!!

[munch]

Yeah!

[Dogpatch]

Nice friggin intro.

[Zoglog]

oh shit, here comes the it's cool to be a gamer video.

[jkircos]

Mario!!!!

[Zoglog]

Mario is gay, On the bright side at least the console unit itself looks pretty nice. Best looking next gen console to date. All they need now are breakdancing people in the background.

[62t]

[62t]

Zelda Wii!!!

[munch]

Zelda looks so awesome

[evilmax17]

[cdeener]

Reggie, Reggie!!!

[munch]

Seriously, dont answer. He's trying to get your name.

[hufferstl]

preorder if its under $200.

[Dogpatch]

Compare this thread right now to the PS3 one. I don't hate the PS3, but damn the difference.

[Zoglog]

wow, it's really easy to please fanboys isn't it? Just show some nostalgia.....

[dafoomie]

This is a very well planned, well organized presentation so far, probably the opposite of the Sony presser.

[evilmax17]

Looking more and more like the EGM leak was right. Looks like it might be $250.

[Zoglog]

"playing on the margin" HAHA like all your damn Handhelds nintendo? But hey fanboys dont care

[SpottedNigel]

wow, it's really easy to please fanboys isn't it? Just show some nostalgia.....

Go away you tool

[munch]

No date and price? BOOOO!!!!

[jkircos]

Come on! No price or date today...

[evilmax17]

Well done on the name response.

[dafoomie]

So they're not telling us the price or date today... I guess half the people watching just closed the window.

[Dogpatch]

:lol:

[Zoglog]

Well this is purely fanboy so i'm out of this. Prob gonna still buy the Wii if it's cheap though. you people disgust me with that constant cock sucking

[jkircos]

Super Mario Galaxy

[Mattte]

Is anyone else's video choppy or is just my connection (at school...:()

[ryanbph]

[SpottedNigel]

Launch Day Zelda Tp

[cdeener]

Twilight Princess is coming out launch day with the system.

[Zoglog]

Funny thing is if this was any other company you people would be bitching "Omg looks just like the Xbox" or "omg just like my ps2" "lol no nextgen graphics"

[SpottedNigel]

Ever play Zelda... on Wiid?

[Zoglog]

oh wow Zelda will have the same crappy control scheme...... lame

[Dogpatch]

Not a fanboy of any certain system. I love them all. Just like the fact of something different in gaming. Any gamer would.

[cdeener]

Ever play Zelda... on Wiid?

Good one. :rofl:

[jkircos]

So is the Zelda going to be for the Wii only? He just said the Wii version.

[shipwreck]

You're about to get a kick in the nuts zoglog (or a temp ban) if you don't stop the trolling.

[Dogpatch]

Friggin cool! Speaker in the wii mote!

[SpottedNigel]

Depth of sound with the speaker.
Quick jab with controller knocks the enemy with the shield...w/rumble

[cdeener]

It has a speaker and rumble in the controller.

[Zoglog]

oh i'm sorry, am I supposed to sick nintendo's cock too just cuz they show some clips of nostalgia? This reeks of fanboyism

On the side I think the Wii looks like fun but just becuase I dissagree on some elements you call it trolling? please.......

[SpottedNigel]

Zelda chime comes from the remote :)

[Dogpatch]

Mote and nunchuck both have motion sensor.

[munch]

Ol' Nate's not to good with that arrow.

[SpottedNigel]

The sound is VERY high quality. Sounds like an experience

[jkircos]

I wonder if they are going to give some pricing on the virtual console?

[SpottedNigel]

Ahhh, E3 is BYOB

[evilmax17]

Two versions of Zelda.

[Dogpatch]

2 different versions of Zelda.

[jkircos]

Two versions????

[munch]

I don't like the dual launch with zelda at all.

[cdeener]

Two versions of Zelda Wii and GC.

[SpottedNigel]

2 different Zelda versions on Wii launch day

[basketkase543]

I love the idea of sound coming from the controller. Nice.

[niceguyshawne]

I don't like the dual launch with zelda at all.

QFT

[SpottedNigel]

3 NEW Nintendo Ip's

[Dogpatch]

Gamecube Zelda
Wii Zelda

[SpottedNigel]

Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

Disaster-Day of Crisis (does NOT look like normal Ninty)

[evilmax17]

Good graphics on PHammer and Disaster!

[Ikohn4ever]

Disaster looks sweet

[Roufuss]

Nintendo just put the final nail in the Cube, I guess.

[munch]

Nintendo just put the final nail in the Cube, I guess.

yep. That really sucks.

[SpottedNigel]

27 playable games on e3 show floor

[munch]

27? Wow!

[cdeener]

27 Playable games at E3

[SpottedNigel]

27 playable games on e3 show floor

French people demonstrating Red Steel now

[basketkase543]

Wait, two zeldas?? I missed that part of the conference.

[jkircos]

I love the French guy saying Wii!

[Zoglog]

wow that was boring, he was just reading off marketing text. Nice move nintendo. Forcing people to get a seperate version so they will buy the Wii.

red steel might be the only decent game coming out due to appropriate use of the control scheme. minus the gangster style...

[munch]

the french say controller so cool.

[SpottedNigel]

Wait, two zeldas?? I missed that part of the conference.

1 for cube
1 for Wii w/upgrades

[Ikohn4ever]

red steel is looking amazin

[evilmax17]

wow that was boring, he was just reading off marketing text. Nice move nintendo. Forcing people to get a seperate version so they will buy the Wii.

red steel might be the only decent game coming out due to appropriate use of the control scheme. minus the gangster style...
You are the only person bored with this conference.

[Roufuss]

yep. That really sucks.

I wouldn't be surprised if, closer to the Wii, they just scrapped the one for the Cube altogether.

It's gone from "It will definately be only on Gamecube"

to "There won't be any revolution specfic features... we pushed it back to add more dungeons"

to "Ok, ok... there is Revoultion specific features in it"

to "Ok, now there are two completely different version of the game, one for Cube, one for Wii"

What's the next step?

"Sadly, the market wasn't there for a Gamecube version, so its been cancelled... buy it on the Wii instead!"

If Zelda was coming for the Cube it would have been out already. I will not be surprised when they cancel it.

DS games comming out should be awesome

[Roufuss]

I don't see it on Joystiq yet, but is Yoshi's Island 2 DS bound? Because awesome if it is, because Yoshi's Touch and Go was a good indicator of how awesome it would be.

Edit... found it... check this out

It is.

[judyjudyjudy]

finally word on osu tatakae commin to usYeah, and it looks totally different. I guess they're Americanizing it, which means new songs probably. I think plenty of people imported it already, so a different version is good news.

[Dogpatch]

Ya, it looks like Yoshi Island 2 is for DS.

[Roufuss]

Is there going to be any talk of the GBA at this conference, or did Nintendo forget about that too?

You at least think they'd show off FF 5 and 6.
