Nintendo E3 Press Conference, Mario Kart Wii, SSB date etc.

Post by tr1p1ea »

Nintendo have announced that Mario Kart for Wii will be online and launch Q1 '08. Great for anyone who enjoyed the DS version. It also ships with a neat little steering-wheel attachment :).

They showed Mario Galaxy and it appears you can use a bee suit to fly, The also demonstrated Metroid Prime 3 andZelda: PH :). Nintendo also announced a new game call Wii Fit which will focus on health and fitness.

Worst Nintendo presentation ever. Nintendo fucked us all big time. No suprises (except Mario Kart, which we all knew would come) and all non-game shit.

Errr, thats how the conferences always are (last years was the same) ... and Nintendo never drops bombshells at E3. They do that in September.

Plus there is still almost 3 whole days left, they arent going to cough up everything at the start.

Last year the Wii-mote was shown. Last year had new games. Last year was good. This year was misserable.

The next three days nothing will be announced. They always do the announcemts at the press conference. Why? Because they got all the attention at the moment. This was it for this year folks.

The Wiimote was unveiled in September of '05. Nintendo ALWAYS make their big announcements in September, never at E3. They only tell us what we already know at E3.

And they showed Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, demo'd Metroid, Smash Bros, demo'd Zelda, 2 Dragon Quest games, sports games, training games plus they gave us release dates and details for online!

Judge Nintendo's E3 prescence after the event is over in 3 days.

Dragon Quest! :o
As much as I'm looking forward to the Wii ones, the upcoming DS one (Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker) is a sequel to my favorite gameboy game (better than Zelda or Pokemon) and I'm really looking forward to it.

Another Zelda, yay! I was able to get Twilight Princess for Gamecube, this time I won't be so lucky (I assume it's wii only). I guess I'll have to buy a wii before the end of the year.

Mario Kart looks fun too, but I've always loved Crash Team Racing :P.

Crash Team Racing is tons better than Mario Kart for 64 and Gamecube, but I think I like the DS Mario Kart a little more than CTR.

zelda ph is pretty sick. I played the jap version a little bit, just to get the feel of the game. So far, controls are pretty intuitive (all touch screen), and looks to be another great adventure. I don't like the art style that much though (looks like Wind Waker).

Im psyched for Zelda:PH, it looks like a great adventure. I happen to like the style, and the visuals are really nice. Some of the bosses are O_O.

I loved Wind Waker, it's my favorite Zelda. I'm really looking forward to playing that style on my DS.

I like the style, but it's not perfect on the ds. it's good, not great. still going to be a freakin' amazing game though.

You're one of the few then.

Oh and Guitar Hero III is coming out for Wii early next year with online support for anyone interested.
