Title: Nintendo Pre-E3 Press Conference
Post by: C o s m o on May 09, 2006, 09:36:00 AM
I predict the Wii will be ~$200-250.  Lame name and dwindling interest in Nintendo hardware will force them into a "budget console" role with the Wii.

lets not bash nintendo for trying to be innovative; i think they might pull off some decent games...

all it took was metroid prime and resident evil 4 to get me to buy a gamecube, maybe they will have some games that will stand out and kick some ass. (given RE4 was supposed to be GC only at the time)

Iknow...I'm trying not to do that too much.  I actually flip-flop between getting one and not getting one.
Some of the gameplay looks decent.  With the old NES titles available, I might get it.  Especially if it is in the price range I expect (BTW...no price announced today)

Ok i just finished watching the conference and IMO MS doesnt need to worry about sony as much as they need to worry about nintendo. Seriously, i honestly dont think sony is a competitor after that. That may seem a bit extreme but thats just how good nintendo's performance was and the hardware (although obviously weak) has a lot of cool unique features (ALOT MORE THAN SONY CAN SAY!!) that the system apart. Even in the wake of the major rip off that is the ps3 controller, the wiimote is still unique and down right impressive in terms of usage (speakers in the controller? absolute genious!). The ps3 dual crock 2.5 cannot compare. The standby mode in wii sounds interesting but is nothing that MS cannot match (or even surpass) by just adding a dash update.

Now im more curious what MS will do to counter nintendo (not sony cause its not neccessary IMO). Since MS do already  have experience in those type of controllers (sidewinder anyone?) they should be able to match it only if theyre serious. Time will tell.....

Nintendo did not impress me ont bit. I don't want to interact with any games I prefer to sit back and relax after a hard day at work. I have no time to be jumping around swinging a racket and all that movement.

I would imagine u need some space to play those games. Can't have it in a tiny apartment.



Good point but dont knock till u try it....... a bit off topic but are you jamaican? cause I am. Mi haffi big up di dread, u zimme?

Dance Dance Revolution is popular enough and it definately requires space and energy, much more so than the Wii.  As well I am sure there wil be plenty of non labour intensive games available as well.  I am not completely sold on one but if the price is decent, (and Nintendo has either a VGA cable or a rgb output) then I will probably end up with one.

Personally I feel that Nintendo Adressed almost everything I wanted them to in the conf.   If nintendo's conference is any thing like their launch and availability then sony should be shitty it's pants right now.  

Sony had nothing impressive to me.  Sure, I am a sony hater, and I will firmly admit it to anyone who opposes that, but this round I was really hoping sony would pulla rabit out a hat cause I find the 360 to be a dissapointment.

On a side note, Eye toy how wiik is that (get it.. nvm)

Msoft apparently had agood line up, however they seem to have covered more vista than game launch from my impresssion.  

Also 100 new games for DS by the end of the Year, Star Fox DS, WII downloads content while you are asleep and games taking longer than 45 seconds to load are shunned. Nintendo obviously knew their plan from the begining and they expressed it very well with their  over all willingness to sacrafice evertyhign to have the DS and WII be the the wave of the futurem, or to have no future at all
I loved the qoute "Some companys run from it, we run through it"

God Bless you Nintendo.

Maybe you were watching the 2002 E3,  because nothing looked worse then the GC.  

I personally cannot wait for Wii.  Nintendo's Pre Conf was much better then M$'s and Sony's... and it leaves me wanting more.  M$'s leaves me intersted in Froza and thats about it.  Sony's was interesting.. but didnt do much for me at all.

Nintendo put the smack down and I cannot wait to find out more.  I was going to buy a PSP this summer.. but now screw that.. im waiting on Wii.

OMG, did you NOT SEE MARIO, have you never seeen mario sunshine? are you fucking stupid? tony hawk looked WAAAAAYYYYYY WORSE the GC titles, metroid looked like it lost detail as well

This is all official footage from G4 as well no rumor shit, G4 said it them selves nintendo looks worse and its amazing there still fun, but im sorrying its never gonna appeal to the masses looking like a DS on steroids, they done lost me as a custamore because i was expection GC quality games as a minimum and nothing looking as bad as those did will appeal to me

Sorry to be the realist and ruin all your fun, now time to shut sony fanboys up claiming new MGS4 footage looks better then last year when infact it lost alot of detail and still stutterd

After seeing the absolutely pathetic presentation content, I came to one conclusion, which is Nintendo shouldn't have even been invited to E3. They displayed no cutting edge breakthrough in their console technology. All the graphics presented were no better than a PSP, and this is supposed to be console rendered performance. Pathetic. There was no change in physics AT ALL. Everything was still moving a 45 degree turns, at best. The only thing different is a motion sensing controller, which looks like that will become annoying real fast.

If a persons pays more than $99.00 for that console their nuts. Especially knowing the new technology being deployed by Sony and MS. I wouldn't pay more than $19.99 for a Wii game. Its obvious their not putting in the effort by MS and Sony, so they shouldn't dare charge the same price for technology graphics that are already a generation old.

Even though the graphics are crap, I still would want to play Legend of Zelda and Metroid. Though I would be disappointed with the graphic quality of Metroid, but not so much for Zelda, which I don't mind a cartoony effect.

while i love modding xboxes as much as the next guy on here, i've been playing nintendo since i was a kid, and nintendo rocks dudes.

Nintedo's first party games rock.  Motion controllers, innovation, whatever, the bottom line is that Nintendo is the only one of the big 3 with any eye towards genuine creativity.  All Sony and M$ do is make bigger and badder consoles each year - who really gives a shit what the graphics are when games aren't engaging you any better.  (I'd rather play old NES games than Madden 3^3343 year afte year).

Nintendo obviously has a niche market now and not as much clout as M$ and Sony, but I for one think that's a good thing.  The non-Nintedo fans are all the young kids from today - high school idiots and frat boys.  The same people who shell out $60 for a new Madden every year (yeah, real bright people, I know).  You can get just about any game for the PS3 as the xbox360.  Let those idiots keep supporting those companies.  I want to play weird, interesting games, not hook up every digital device I have to my ass and see if it goes 34 billion polygons.

I don't mean to correct you, but the controllers are wireless, those were from the development kits. Otherwise they are wireless.

Also, for you ignorant fools, I want to ask you whether you would go back and be able to play any game pre 2000 for over a day and ENJOY IT! If you can, then don't even talk about graphics. If you have HDTV and surround sound and a lot of money, have fun. I''m using the same tv I have, no reason for me to spend money.
As for third rate games, if you have ever play a metroid or a zelda game, then you should kill yourself. 3rd rate , ya right.  Yes, MS CONNECTIVITY is cool, but personally, the only good game was Gears of War.

To address you saying that the graphixcs were no better than a psp's...YOU MUST BE MENTALLY UNSTABLE, a psp has terrible graphics compared to the Wii. You were watching on a video recordingof something...aka quality is down a little, still looks great though.

You saying that you wouldn't pay more than $100, you also, are ignorant. Who has changed physics NOTICEABLY. MS has not stated anything about motion sensing technology, and Sony only has a very basic tilt like functionality. They put in the same amount of effort and more to get the features to work right, plus, MS and Sony ONLY focus on graphics.

Another point, THE WII IS STILL RUNNING ON MOSTLY DEV KITS! REMEMBER THE 360 DEV KITS, AND SONY'S NON INGAME FOOTAGE? Most of the Wii's footage was ingame of some sort. Show me metal gear solid ingame and tell me that it doesnt look worse than the stuff you saw.

You should learn how to spell before calling someone stupid.  As I said stated before,  I still think you were looking at 2002 E3 footage.

what a shitty game console.. all the game titles look like fucking 3rd rate computer generated cartoons you see on the Cartoon Network..

Face it the XBOX 360 and M$ press conference was by far the best.. The idea that in 2007 the LIVE network will have crossplatform support so someone can be on a Vista PC and someone else on a 360 and be playing against each other online... very cool...

-Altern8Energy-



you mean it's cool that M$ wants you to have everything in your house have a M$ brand name slapped to it?

4 player games on N64, GC, and Wii will be better then any 4 player games that will ever be released on the 360 or PS3.  

That is the crappy thing about having an xbox/xbox360 the only 4 player games are gheylo and PDZ.

I just finished watching the Nintendo E3 Press Conference, which is the -only- E3 press conference that I watch.  Nintendo never ceases to amaze me, this new system looks like a trend setter amongst the big boy industries.

I just watched the new zelda video for wii in HD and i have to say apart from looking awful, having been in making so long, graphical glitches(such as links hat sitting in his sheild? wtf), and the over all clunky-ness the remote seemed to make the player have trouble aiming steadily, and not to mention that ontop of looking worse then what the gamecube should be capable of its still a jagged hell(i never noticed much jaggies in other 1st party games from them) i can honestly say ive lost all interest ive had in this game compared to last(excuse me i meant OOT), its a game we should have had 4years ago instead of the steaming pile i call windwaker, it was very unpolished, and its being delayed so it can be released on the cube and wii at the same time, i personally have lost all hope in nintendos titles as they keep trying to change there best titles and im not for it any more.
