Zelda and Mario looked cool, but it's not like we have one of these every single generation. The only game that interests me in the Wii lineup for now is the ubisoft sword fighting one. Oh and rayman
The Wii sure does have a lot of promise, but I really want more mature games for it.

What about red steel? that game looks Awesome!

and is that Sness Wii controller for real? cause that would also be Awesome

[Toefur]

I thought Nintendo promised some really big surprises for E3. Or is there still more to be revealed? :S

[Spiwak]

I imagine they must be revealing more later. That's pretty tame.

Well they did say they Nunchuck controller had independant motion sensors as well as the Wiiremote.

So boxing with both both hands maybe.

As usual with Nintendo they are pushing the gameplay rather than the tech. Which is a good thing. nintendo games are always fun and the Wii doesn't look next-gen graphically. Basically a slightly improved Gamecube with a different controller.

Stil want one though

Seeing isn't believing. feeling is believing.

Man, I'm going to watch this thing until I've learned ALL the oneliners. They rock.

[insane_cobra]

It's "playing is believing", actually.



EDIT: But maybe also feeling? Damn, need to watch the whole thing.

Reading the Direct Control thread, an adventure game on Wii will be an ultimate nightmare for the 'hardcore' adventure gamer. At least mouse and keyboard were placed on the table, now they will need move their hand 'UP' from the table, no way, that's impossible, too hard

Sexeh.

My mind is blowing up because of all these news that keep pouring in.

Opera is in da house!

And holy crap that new Mario game for Wii looks awesome.

I think that when I finally go back home, I may have to spend a week in front of my computer just to go through all the news that have come in the recent weeks and of course, E3...

Word. But I like Super Paper Mario for GC even better!

[RLacey]

Another 2D(-ish) Mario on my TV...

*squeals with delight*

I'm confused. Is this the other half that goes with the motion sensing, vibrating, wand thing that you can wave about?

[bysmitty]

Nope, that is a completely different controller that the Wii will ship with. Some games will use the motion sensing numb-chuck / magic wand thing (there are two parts to it), some games will use this more traditional controller.

...bysmitty

[insane_cobra]

I'm not sure if Wii will ship with it, though, maybe it will be sold separately. It could confuse people, as Melanie just proved.

[Dasilva]

The nintendo Con beats Sony for sure, Sony was so boring and predictable pie charts and crap.

And the Wii will own all, mark my words.

[Yini]

Damn, Super Paper Mario looks like fun! When's it coming out??

I am definitely getting a Wii when it comes out! Knowing Nintendo, they'll probably keep the price down between $200-300. I would've liked to get a PS3 as well for Final Fantasy, but at that price point it'll take some really great games and a couple of price drops before I'll get it.

[Starflux]

Wow, Super Paper Mario! The beauty of this is, up until just now I used to read "Super Paper Mario for the GBC" instead of GC. So I was really thinking: why the HELL would they release a new game for the Gameboy Color?

But now it makes sense.

[MoriartyL]

From Eurogamer:

Travel between the huge areas on multiple worlds will be undertaken in Samus' new gunship

BOOO!! Multiple worlds? No, please no! I was afraid of this- Hunters is the new direction for the series! It'll be a FPS! They're not even trying to claim it'll be an exploration game. It looks like exploration is truly dead.


Rest in peace, exploration.

Between this and the two versions of Zelda, Nintendo's really starting to piss me off.

[Starflux]

That sounds preposterously dramatic, Moriarty. And I think it's good to try out new avenues with a franchise instead of constantly reiterating what you've done before. Echoes was already a remake of Prime, so this change is good. Haven't you listened to Nintendo's philosophy? I can understand you're upset that people might tinker with your favourite series, but remember what Reggie said about the graveyards of the industry that are filled with the headstones of companies that never risked anything.

Change is good.

[bysmitty]

Exploration? What exactly do you mean about the 'death of exploration'? I'm really not familiar with the first person Metroid games. I assumed they were already FPS games, what is so different in their plan in this one from the pervious ones?
