[Wii] Nintendo E3 Conference NOBODY GOES

So Nintendo has a big ol conference tomorrow. Something about CASUALS and guitars and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and noone was all that impressed.

Let's talk about it!

I heard they're releasing some games for the Wii involving several minigames, a "wacky" and not at all forced control system and the full range of your favourite Mario characters. Rumours are they're also insisting that sub-PS2 graphics are still acceptable to modern gamers and that they can indeed stay solvent by flogging the same old dead horse for the next few years.

Woah! What future boat did you just step off of, Shin?! =O

I heard they're releasing Terranigma with motion control.


























































no I didn't.

I sorta wish RABicle was here.
I found his version of E3 (something about Reggie smashing things on stage and roundhouse Sony executives in the groin) and the real one (powerpoint presentations with lots of extra and totally useless plastic add-ons for the Wiimote to be clashing in the most magnificent way.

My hopes? A new Zelda, built for Wii without waggling, a new Mario sidescroller for either DS or Wii and almost no focus on soccer moms, grannies and kids. Only hardcore games this time around, please.

Er, mate, this is the Nintendo thread. The only time people use the word hardcore in a sentence including the word Nintendo is "Nobody who considers themselves a hardcore gamer, as massively homosexual as that phrase is, would ever bother buying a Nintendo Wii or DS".

I mean trolling aside, are there any Wii games that don't feature one of either Mario, stupid minigames or shoe-horned in motion control?

Blastworks? There's plenty, but that's the first one to come to mind.

I've got him beat, folks - I'm hoping for a sequel to Hotel Dusk.

Stop Sign, you bring hope to this nation. :')


Shin, I bought a second Wii for my parents and Wii Fit.

Counting! One! Two! Two Nintendo Dust Collectors! Ah! Ah! Ah!

I can't say I'd heard of that one but having just watched a video of it, it's got shoe-horned control system written all over it. Any more?

What motion control there is certainly isn't in it just for the fact of being in it. The editor works well with the controls, they're well thought out, and they certainly weren't just "shoe-horned" in there just because they could tack it on with minimal effort.

If you're going to exclude all games with any motion control period under that forced implementation heading, you might as well start excluding games on other systems that use specific buttons on the controller that you might not like. SHIT THIS GAME USES THE D PAD FOR SOMETHING FUCK.

(I'm trying to reduce trollan here, why you gotta be this way?)

If there isn't a new Pilotwings game then Nintendo will have wasted a car trip. People will demand a new Pilotwings at the start of the conference.

"Hello everyon-"
"NEW PILOTWINGS?"
"No here are some sales charts"

Everyone laughs. Everyone instantly leaves.

Reggie will ask the press to "please call him Reginald" from now on, and then will proceed to announce Man Icarus, which is being outsorced to the Ubisoft team that made Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

A new Zelda will debut, built from the ground up for the Wii. It will be a cell shaded sequel to Wand of Gamelon.

The Fairchild Channel F will be supported in the Virtual Console catalog.

Propietary 5¼" floppy drives will be released to solve the Wii's storage problems. Only nerds and otakus will care, the rest WILL LAUGH.

There isn't any. It's Man Icarus, after all. Voiced by David Hayter.
