We're still not sure how we feel about it, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that Samus will get jiggle tech. Don't ask us about the logistics, that's not our job.

Now that was hot!

This announcement was the only one that really stood out to me. The only thing was that Nintendo announcer dude looked really threatening!
ronEbear @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:18PM
BFD!

Team Ninja pushes the wii pretty hard, those are some crisp visuals.
Now, can Team ninja do it better than Retro?
Ellianth @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:19PM
Those were crisp visuals? looool
Jerk Face @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:20PM
It'll be tough. MP3 was one of the best games ever made. I'm glad Samus is going to talk, though. I'm so tired of the silent protagonist in games. You can't care about a character you're playing when that character has no personality.
ALBGunner04 @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:20PM
Honestly, I'm not a Wii hater or anything, but I thought those visuals could've been MUCH better...
B3astofthe3ast @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:22PM
Wait a sec...its Team Ninja....Zero suit samus boob physics...O__o
dark_inchworm (on Steam!) dark inchworm (on XBL!) @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:26PM
You know what else is crisp? Santana champ.
Alex Sohn @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:45PM
I agree, it's cool they announced some games this year, but really, if the biggest "wow" is the fact that samus finally talks, that says something.
I just wish for once, they would announce a new IP, or do something crazy with one of their original IPs.
I'm sorry but I think Conduit is quite overated, now Dead Space Extraction, that looks very awesome and a game I would only want to play on Wii as the consoles stand now. But really if anything, I'd say it's more exciting to own a DS right now then anything else, it looks like they're getting the brunt of the hardcore and original IPs that you really can't get from PSP or Iphone.
I'm a huge Metroid fan, but did Metroid Prime 3 even do that good in sales? I would much rather have prefered a 2D metroid for DSiWare, or GBA, GBC, and GB games on DSiWare.
Overall, I'd say better then last year, but I don't see anything "megaton" for the hardcore. I'm still most excited for the social integration stuff on the xbox, and project Natal.
Good job Nintendo, but I think its safe to say you are a changed company since the Wii

@inchworm
Santana DVX make you wanna have sex!
Mr Khan @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:18PM
It's a legitimate question to ask. How good will it be
I'll eagerly await more information, though.
fred @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:36PM
"I don't see anything "megaton" for the hardcore."
It's a new Metroid. A new motherfucking Metroid. Hand in your gamer card NOW.
KEENMACHlNE @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:22PM
that screen does not do the game justice
Foetoid @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:19PM
Official Announcement. Nintendo Wins E3 2009. Sony Packs Up And Goes Home. Microsoft Apologises For Not Being AS REDICULOUSLY FUCKING AWESOME AS NINTENDO.
Sorry, Golden Sun, SMG2 and Metroid have melted my brains.
Cellien @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:20PM
Obviously, because your post doesn't make a lot of sense.
acefondu @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:20PM
Agreed, glad Nintendo is competent again.
GiggMan @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
Now..Now... Hold your horses there youngin.
Lets not go overboard.
Shagittarius @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
It must not be very heat resistant.
Killjebus...PSN Killjebus @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
Wow just wow dude...really?
Ellianth @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
obviously you didn't watch the same press conferences that rest of us did. That shit was laaaame.
They spent more time talking about shit than good stuff. Really, who cares how many ___ you've sold? It's not like anyone uses them after the first 2 weeks of having them.
Cherry_Ghost @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
I like how you're splooging that same comment on a few different posts. I think the more times you say it, the more it'll come true.
Jerk Face @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
Enjoy playing your two good games in 2010. : )
SoulBlade @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:24PM
vitality sensor YEA!!!!
sorry... i've always liked Nintendo, but they've been "meh" 2 years in a row now. This one wasn't terrible, but following MS hurt them.
PedoJokerBear (aka Deeznuts) @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:24PM
uhh...what press conference were YOU watching?
Foetoid @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:25PM
PLEASE. Jerk Face. I'll be happy with:
The Conduit
RE0/RE1 remakes
Prime 1&2 remakes
Overlord: Dark Legend
Sadness
Dead Space: Extraction
Wii Sports Resort
Red Steel 2
FF:CC My Life As A Darklord
FF:CC The Crystal Bearers
FFIV: The After Years
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Muramasa: The Demon Blade
No More Heroes 2
until 2010.
tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:27PM
Foetoid you are beyond pathetic lol. That was an awful conference and those games arne't coming out until next year. There's nothing left to play on the wii for the rest of this year (anything good at least).
Ellianth @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:28PM
Lol, you people low ranked me for speaking the truth? Tell me you weren't yawning for the majority of their little talk.
BEAAAR @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:33PM
The presentation was waaaay better than last year with some VERY interesting announcements but...
...the E3 winner?! Really?
Sry, but I guess Wii can't compete with the MS conference and a new MGS, Halo: Reach, Mass Effect 2, Forza 3, Alan Wake and Splinter 'Fucking Awesome' Cell Conviction. And don't forget about Modern Warfare 2...or Project Natal.
Nintendo lets you post DSi images to Facebook. Well, the 360 will HAVE facebook. (+twitter + lastfm)
MS will have HD 1080p streams...can Wii do that? Oh wait I forget about the resolution thing. But at least I can check my heart pulse...lol.
Jesus Christ, I sound like a fucking fanboy even though I own both consoles...damn. But hey at least Wii will have Crysis 2...oh sry, my bad.
xFenixKnightx @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:34PM
Foetoid
Your Fernando is showing...
Ben! @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:40PM
Feotoid mentioned Sadness. Am I completely out of the loop, or is that game total bullshit? Last I heard, there's STILL nothing to show except some concept art. You're an idiot.
Kenofthedead @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:44PM
Man, remember when these confrences were about the games? Seeing and learning about games that would intrest us? Not about "someone wining" other then us, the gamers, with games we want to play?
Sigh, Nintendo hate for the sake of hating or "they aren't core" and Nintendo love "I list everything because I love Nintendo so much". Bah to it all.
I saw games I like from Microsoft's confrence, I saw plenty of games I like in Nintendo's confrence. I saw plenty of bad moments and things I just don't give a damn about or don't see working like Natal for games and whatever it was Iwata went on about.
But who the hell cares, it's about the damn games. Focusing on anything else, that's just stupid.
TwEE @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:45PM
" There's nothing left to play on the wii for the rest of this year " Um Little King's Story is going to drop in NA in just a few days Tmac.. So whachu saying? Oh right it cant be good because its not epic cinematic or extreme to the max.
bm @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:02PM
Obviously, Twee. If it doesn't have Shooting Guy or Emo Sword Guy, it's not worth playing at all.
@Killjebus: I think he's just learning from you!
sam @ Jun 2nd 2009 3:42PM
@Foetoid: One of those games is total bullshit that has never existed and will never existed, two of them (RE-re-re-re-makes) are shit cash-ins that are a waste of time for anyone who played the GC version... and while the Metroid Prime remakes will be worthwhile, they'll still be basically the same games (like RE4 Wii - yes it was great and much improved, but still not a new game).
Some other good games there for sure, but I think the list could do with being trimmed a little.
EA's MotionPlus games (tennis, golf) might be worth considering as well, on the other hand.
Personally, I guess they're not until next year but the games I'm most excited about are Silent Hill remake (yes another remake, but a significantly changed one and also of a game that wasn't already available on GC) and also maybe Cursed Mountain looks pretty awesome. And, yeah, since we're talking next year, Mario Galaxy 2 and the game this post's about would have to be in there as well :)
Overall it was a good but not great set of news from Nintendo. I hope there's more good news from Miyamoto's panel but even if not? This year's OK.
Cuksis @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
Looks like a Heavenly Sword rip-off! O_O
traceur_ryuk_shinigami @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:22PM
Uhhh....that was a joke...right?
Sly, King of the First Isle of inFamous [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:36PM
tell me you're not serious. there aren't even swords!
Cuksis @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:40PM
O_O = joking
TwEE @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:57PM
I was going to say that or either lost vikings
J-Link @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:20PM
This helped save the conference along with Mario Galaxy 2 and Golden Sun. I'll be looking forward to this but still no Zelda D=.
mr mobius @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:21PM
I'm happy with Spirit Tracks.
Let's face it, a Zelda Wii now would mean 2 Zeldas, 2 Marios and a Metroid in one E3.
Dr. Stabbingworth @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:23PM
I'm not seeing a problem with that, mr mobius, other than I'd have to leave work to change my pants.
waynski1457 @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:23PM
You say that like it's a bad thing. I mean, that would just be over the top awesome,
Calvin @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:24PM
Zelda will be next year, it would be stupid to release super Mario Galaxy 2 and Zelda in the same year. Plus that gives the development teams another year to make the game better.
I was happy with this conference. Yeah, it was boring at times, but the NSMBW, Golden Sun, SMG2, and this make up for those boring parts. I could care less about Microsoft's Natal thing. Shit looks amazing in videos but the tech just isn't there. It's just a upgraded eyetoy. Maybe in 5-10 years we'll get stuff like they portrayed in the videos.
DiscoShark @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:29PM
Remember Miyamoto's Roundtable is tomorrow. And if I recall the original Smash Brothers Brawl trailer wasn't shown at the E3 Nintendo Keynote Either, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo had atleast 1 more ace up its sleeve. Regardless, compared to the last couple E3s, its nice to see Nintendo bringing something decent to the table.
chriscanberg @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:51PM
Wait...what do you mean Miyamoto's roundtable?
And I'm sure thats not the end. This was a great conference.
Microsoft was so meh. That stupid Project Natal is so gimmicky its hilarious. The games were okay, I guess. You can't possibly be excited for Halo: Reach; nobody knows ANYTHING about it yet. We saw a trailer that showed a planet. Great sign me up. Halo is now being milked for all its worth.
Nintendo delivered. The games they showed were awesome. They appealed to both the core and casual, like it or not.
Sony's conference is predictable. They'll show Uncharted 2 (aka Gears of War clone with war scenes that feel so forced to me), Ratchet and Clank which will be pretty cool, and God of War III which while a good game is completely predictable as to what will happen. So there. bold statement, i know, but I'm ready to see their conference to back it up.
Alex Sohn @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:53PM
@ Calvin, if you think Project Natal is just an upgraded eye toy, you have got a lot to learn about tech.
Sorry but the facts of the technology are there, it is quite different then a plain old 2d digital camera.
now the microsoft vision cam and the playstation eye, those were glorfied eye toys. But not project natal. Remember the tech they're using in that thing was developed by an Israeli tech company for military purposes originally, and microsoft simply bought the tech for their own purposes. Eyetoy and the Vision Cam, were simply cheap gimmicks sold by Microsoft and Sony to say Mii Too!!
