"Nintendo conference: promising, but..." , posted Wed 10 May 03:15:

...Graphics are not sooo important, but having things like that Tony Hawk (that would look only so-so on a PS2) and that truck game, or the sports game they showed... Okay, so not all games looked horrid like those, in fact Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Red Steel and Sonic looked very good, but still.

Okay, let's talk about what looks good: The gameplay seems quite promising. The people who were showing the games managed to not look like monkeys while playing, so that's a good thing. The different ways of using the controller shown in Zelda:TTP and Red Steel look well implemented, intuitive, and fun. The speaker in the controller, while it could be fun, isn't nothing but a curious extra. Sure, it can be implemented in many games with maybe interesting results, but I expected something more... Worthwile fom the last controller feature.

And now, let's talk about the "meh": Many games shown, but in very, very short videos or just in name. Very few of them seemed playable from what was seen in the show, also. the "24 connection" seems quite pointless in my opinion. Also, not a single mention on the virtual console functions, and very importantly, they didn't revealed the price of the console. "Play more paying less" sounds great, but I want numbers.

So... Discuss!

Does it really matter? The only console I'll be able to afford is the Wii anyway. (If I DO buy one...)
Zelda looks awesome, can't wait to play it.
The WiiSports game looks fun, but the minimalized graphics will only work well for the japanese audience. Americans will want to see some pretty graphics. Let's hope some third party sports games developpers will find the system attractive and make games for it, that'd be sweet. I mean, imagine playing Virtua Tennis like that... (or Top Spin...)

Also, was I the only one to find that game Disaster really interesting? (the small bits they showed anyway) That huge wave was kinda impressive... The graphics seem nice (taking into account that I watched this in a small streaming video...)

All in all, the gameplay seems appealing, and it has that "I at least gotta try that" feeling. But most of what they showed had really simple graphics. Now I'm really not the type to go with graphics over gameplay (I'm really the exact opposite of that philosophy), but I think they could have done a little better with some of the games they showed. Especially when you clearly see that the system is capable of it, watching some of the better games they showed in terms of graphics.

Blah!

If I want to see good graphics, I' ll just go and watch a DVD or play a PC game. Nintendo's conference was not about technological prowess, but about sheer talent.

I'm still not really that interested in the Wii. The controller looks neat but I fear that once the novelty of it wears off we'll just be left with some very basic games.

Zelda and Mario looked really nice but I disagree about Red Steel. It looked like a pretty generic FPS but with sluggish controls.

I'm more interested in their network but they kinda breezed over that. The fact that they didn't mention the price yet also worries me. If this thing is $200 I'm pretty much obligated to get one. However if it gets up to 250 or even 300 I'm a little less likely to get one as an impulse buy.

It seems like "Pheonix Wright 2" has been confirmed so that's great news as well as a US version of Ossu Tatakae Ouendan.

Zelda and Mario look great... I love how the Wiimote makes people look like their trying to change the channel in a very weird way, I can understand's Nintendo whole marketing style of "feeling" the game, but that depends on the game. For instance: the shot of the guy fishing in Zelda, that looked awesome.

Wondering how the Wii24 thing will work out...

Im glad that it does not use a lot of power either...

Multiplayer motion sensitive party games are step 2 in Nintendo's plan to turn you against your friends (Mario Party was step 1).

Imagine it. Four people crowded together, "accidentally" hitting each other with their controllers in frustrating minigames. It will end in a fist fight while one friend beats another in the face hearing a "bling!" and earning a gold coin with each blow.

Heheh, I think that SFC Mario Kart was the original seed of intense rivalry and disgust among friends. The Battle Mode made it so easy to see your rival that you couldn't help despising that jerk when he broke your balloons. Hopefully this will be the new generation of comrade-punching.

But it's SOLID SNAKE we're talking about. I apologize for my geekyness but I think we're missing some big things here.

If you watch the trailer, it's said that Solid Snake was 'asked' to participate in the new Smash Bros. Now it could be just storyline fluff--but what if other companies were also 'asked' to contribute their characters? It's not like Nintendo is a mistrusted company that is known to screw up other properties (at least, not royally). So we see Solid Snake--will we see Megaman, or Bionic Commando, or Athena...or maybe even Sonic? There might be a theme going too--maybe it's characters that have historically appeared on Nintendo systems (while I know Snake got his start on the MSX, he did appear on the NES, and Megaman is originally a NES franchise). Then again, maybe companies are helping... those new moves (especially Mario's super fireballs) look like something out of a Capcom game.

Also think about the jump from the original Smash Bros to Melee (as far as characters go). So far we've seen 5 new characters in Brawl. I genuinely think Nintendo will surprise us.

The possibility is insane. My inner geek waits in anticipation.

I feel nearly the same way. The 360 has nothing that currently interests me, the PS3 I will def. wait a long time to buy w/ a more reasonable price, and the Wii...I'm going to have to wait and see how it all pans out w/ that.

I know I'll be buying a DS Lite on day 1, and thenafter that it may be a good 2 years before I jump into any of these new consoles. Plus I still have 10+ PS2 games to finish (mostly RPG's) and 30+ XBox games (modded system w/ lots of games).

All of this news is still exciting to me, but nothing I've seen makes me think "oh wow, I can not live w/o that" - even MGS4 (but that will be the toughest one to not play).

Well crap, SSBB has me all excited now. And here I thought I was going to be able to resist the lure of the Wii, but that was an awesome trailer. Except for Metal-what's-it, pretty much all the new characters had me. Unfair, Nintendo! I still have bad memories of my Melee experience ruined by the damned Gamecube controller. Hopefully the Wii's can handle this.

It's good to see some posts about SSBB without people complaining about it no longer being Nintendo only. I'm having a hard time seeing how this is a bad thing.

Snake is a really interesting choice for this game considereing the target audience of Metal Gear as opposed to the target audience of some of the other characters included in this game. If any other companies contribute a character I hope we get Leon from RE4. It would be sooo badass to have Snake and Leon duke it out.

Now that there are no more idiotic High School game club people around me to piss me off I might actually enjoy this Smash Bros game.

As I've seen so far, Nintendo already confirmed:

- Mario (wow, what a surprise!)
- Link (Twilight Princess version, it seems)
- Samus (without armor, so far)
- Kirby
- Pikachu (die, Pikachu, DIEEE!!!)
- Solid Snake
- Wario
- some character from Kirby games
- Kid Icarus
- a nintendog (although I'm not sure whether it is a fighter or an item, like the pokéballs)

Is anyone missing from this list above?

Anyway, I must say that the Wii games have impressed me. They seem to be so cool! They can even compensate Nintendo for choosing such a stupid name as "Wii" for a console!
Some PS3 games look good as well, like MGS4; but Wii has the most interesting games in my opinion, so far (amazing graphics are cool, but a fun game to play is way better).

It would be quite mean to make the GC owners wait for so long for a game, then deciding to release it just on another console...

Well, actually you only see her silhouette in fetal position... But I wouldn't call that "playable"... ^_^;

That's true but it's about as close as we've gotten since the NES I think.

Samus appeared without her armor in any game besides the first Metroid and Zero Mission? Playable, I mean.

Well not OFFICIAL, but there's a REALLY GOOD Justin Bailey hack of Super Metroid out there.

Touched it up a little. The Nintendog was stated by several sites that were reporting to just be an item.

I recall in Super Metroid you could do some kind of bomb crash move where her armor would blow off and you'd see her in her skin suit during the explosion.

Similar happened when she died. Her armor explodes first, and you see her in her black bikini.

Why hasn't this been discussed more (unless I missed it)? Link-a-roo. I'm not particularly excited about the baby-swapping, but as long as it has the sheer joy and music of the last game I am bound to be pleased. I hope Yoshi can still turn into a helicopter and Poochy makes an appearance, but somehow I am doubtful.
