E3 News Thread

**NintendoNut** · 07-14-2008, 05:38 PM

Ok since Nintendo's E3 Press Conference is tomorrow, I figured it would be a good idea to make a topic in which we could store all the news and stuff from this year's extravaganza. Nintendo haven't come out with any big announcements for a while now and we're definitely due for a good show from them. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Nintendo can come up with from tomorrow onwards.

Feel free to post about stuff you hear or read as they come along from the conference, and enjoy the show.

Well, so far there's been that Wiimote add-on that's supposed to enhance the motion sensoring. Or something.

I'm hoping that they announce some good things tomorrow, and don't just brag about the Wii.

I am nobody · 07-14-2008, 05:54 PM

^They announced that they were announcing at least one "big" game at E3 this year, so I don't think we have to worry about that.

Maynard James Keenan · 07-14-2008, 06:03 PM

^ Brain Age 3 or Wii Fit 2.

The sad thing is, they could actually be the big announcement.

Rayman FREAK · 07-14-2008, 06:57 PM

My predictions: the only noteworthy mention will be the rumored Kid Icarus title from Factor 5, which seems to be upsetting series fans more than it is exciting them. There may be a brief mention of a Wii Zelda that probably won't see a release this decade.

No, I'm not too hopeful about Nintendo's showing this year, and I hope I'm undershooting by a lot. Well, we'll see.

Irby · 07-14-2008, 08:04 PM

Maybe they'll announce the Kirby Wii game? Or another Mario game I'm hoping.

Dr. Furball · 07-15-2008, 02:12 AM

I'm hoping for an F-Zero game, myself. But maybe we'll find out more about Wario Land.

**NintendoNut** · 07-15-2008, 06:18 AM

I think an F-Zero game is a good guess, but the big announcement may well be based on one of the big three (Mario, Zelda or Metroid). I can't see a Metroid game being announced, I think its too soon after Galaxy for a proper Mario game but I also think another LoZ game is fairly out of the question (How can one improve on Twilight Princess?)

Perhaps Mario is getting a new game, but as always, I bet, nay, I hope we're all completely wrong and we'll be very pleasantly surprised.

Jere · 07-15-2008, 10:00 AM

Have you people forget about the rumors of the Metroid Dread game?
Im holding my thumbs that its a 2D game.

Otherwise we have pikmin and other jsut like Kid icarus and they may always come up whit anything new, i mean they have using the old ones a long time now atleast one or two new things would be good.

Ohh and the Starfox fans maybe have some good time to look forward too but what do i know.

And a new racing game would maybe inflick inpact on Mariokart.

I just want to say that it may be a middle year for nintendo or they are brining in some heavy stuff, i realy don't care i will jump on any good game they realease.

REALITY = LIBERAL BIAS · 07-15-2008, 10:24 AM

since when is twilight princess perfect

Also, I totally forgot about pikmin! Maybe we will get pikmin 3!

Post to be edited as conference goes on.
Animal Crossing: City Folk. WiiSpeak option, which is basically voice chat.

And now Reggie is bragging.

And now, three 3rd party games: some Star Wars game with lightsaber duels, Raving rabids TV, and a Call of Duty game. Yeah.

Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades and Spore: Creatures will come to DS, apparently.

Also, another Pokemon Ranger game. Yeah.

Oh snap! GTA: Chinatown Wars!

Kitchen Navi game coming to USA. And this woman is horrible at jokes.

Wii Sports: Resort announced, which works with the Wiimotion Plus. One game is basically throwing a disc for a dog. Another is one where you ride a jet boat. Reggie likes it. Another is one where you cut wood. And sword duel. Crowd is quiet, but they laughed at "Reggienator".

And it's over.
List o' stuff:
Shaun White Snowboarding Game
Animal Crossing: City Folk
WiiSpeak
Star Wars: the Clone Wars
Rayman Raving Rabids TV
Call of Duty: World War
Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades
Spore Creatures
Pokemon Ranger 2
GTA: Chinatown Wars
Kitchen Navi
Day-to-Day stuff(ie: airtravel, baseball stuff)
Wii Sports Resort
WiiMusic

Uh...I can't help but only like Animal Crossing...Will there be more or something?

Minister of Silly Walks · 07-15-2008, 12:35 PM

I'm a little underwhelmed. No Big Franchise announcements at all? I don't count Animal Crossing as a Big Franchise.

I admire Nintendo for aiming toward the universal audience, but there doesn't really seem to be anything I want to buy on this list except Animal Crossing and maybe Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades. I guess GTA is a pretty big announcement for some people, but I never really liked GTA in the first place.

WiiMusic will only be good if there's a Mario Paint-esque Composer mode, IMO.

Swordmaster Link · 07-15-2008, 12:45 PM

I wasn't expecting much to begin with. *shrug*

Irby · 07-15-2008, 12:46 PM

Awesome! I'm going to look up Call of Duty: World War and GTA: Chinatown wars.

Rayman FREAK · 07-15-2008, 12:46 PM

So what was there was good, but nothing I was really hoping for was there. I'm glad as hell Wii Music is finally coming out, and the motion plus looks highly promising, but think about this: Look at the franchises represented in the roster for Brawl, and count how many of them had a new game announced at this press conference: 1, and it's a franchise that just had a new game last year. Nintendo, that's what your dedicated fans mean when they say they feel neglected. And no, it's not reassuring to hear "The Mario and Zelda teams are working, but forget all that here's SNOWBOARDING!" Yes, my predictions for the core games were low, but even they were not met.

Okay, I'm stopping myself here. I'll just conclude with this: I was excited while watching it, and shortly thereafter thought "That was pretty good." But it wasn't long before I said "Hey, wait a minute..."

X-3 · 07-15-2008, 01:09 PM

Yeah, I was a bit underwhelmed. There's supposedly more to announce, though.

Minister of Silly Walks · 07-15-2008, 01:11 PM

I'm not sure how E3 really works...are there going to be more announcements later? Because if that was the best Nintendo's got, then I'm not thrilled. I was really hoping for a Big Franchise--F-Zero, Kirby, Pikmin, and Star Fox were all left out in the cold.

X-3 · 07-15-2008, 01:13 PM

Reggie said something about "the next few days" at the end of his farewell, so hopefully that means there's more to announce.

Irby · 07-15-2008, 01:17 PM

I'm dying for a Kirby game...
