Well, the new DS has its own thread, what about everything else?
Sin & Punishment 2!
Punch-Out!
Mario & Luigi 3!
A New Wario Ware!
Trace Memory Wii!
And that's just the Japanese conference. There's one set to begin in the US soon. It looks like Nintendo is trying to make up for E3.
Discuss!

Punch Out makes me extremely happy. I think it would be cool if they added the original arcade version as an on-disc bonus.

I believe they said in the Japan conference that we'll be able to play DLC off SD cards for the Wii, as well as easier transfers between the Wii's internal memory and SD cards. So a storage solution for the Wii through a firmware update is some of the best news so far today, imo.

If this is true, that's great! Just in time for games like Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2!

They also need to announce a 1st party wireless nunchuck. I am a little upset about this oversight by Nintendo. Also, a Wavebird replacement would be nice. I still love you Nintendo but our honeymoon is over...............I WANT ACTION!!!!

And they should because their E3 press conference sucked for hardcore(or should I say "core") gamers. But these were some pretty good announcements and I need to find a copy of Sin and Punishment 1 to cetch up. Furthermore, I'm glad that Club Nintendo is FINALLY coming here. Now we don't have to pay those crazy ass import prices to get the good stuff\\^_^/

Not really sold on the new DS (perhaps because I just upgraded to a Lite last month), but it has piqued my interest. Otherwise, a great conference, with some great titles I'm interested in. Punch-Out, in particular, since it looks so much like a cartoon, as it should be. I am so stoked about Club Nintendo finally arriving in america. Finally, the Gamecube "Wii-makes"... should be interesting to see how they're recieved, as well as how they're priced.

Add the fact that its getting stronger 3rd party support from:
Tales of Symphonia 2
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Fatal Frame 4
Tenchu 4
Conduit
Mad World
The Wii will be more of a contender with the 360 and PS3. The next few years will be interesting in deed. :)

Okay, I think the new DS is gonna be a must-buy for me, even though my old launch DS fatty is still pulling its weight 3 1/2 years on.
But the games: SHIT yes! Mario & Luigi 3 in particular. :D 'I HAVE FURY!'

I can't describe how happy Club Nintendo makes me. I just hope we get some good items. Nintendo, you want me to buy your stuff, this is how you do it!

Yeah, club nintendo will be cool, as long as it A) counts stuff we've already registered, and counts incoming GBA games and stuff still and B) has good stuff.
What have they offered america so far? a metroid prime 2 demo and some kirby styluses?
Cobra Commander

Yeah and the Zelda stylus.

Well, Disaster and Fatal Frame are 1st party, and they still haven't been announced for NA. Hopefully it's just a scheduling thing and they'll slot them in somewhere next year.

Fatal Frame is developed by Tecmo and Disaster by Monolith.

They're both first party titles. The game is being published by Nintendo, who apparantly have purchased the Fatal Frame franchise if reports are to be believed and has contracted Tecmo to develop it.
Not sure about Disaster, but everywhere I've read gives the impression its 1st party as well. Just because its not developed in-house doesn't mean its not.

I think I just soiled myself... It's. About. Time. Must have SFC Wii Classic Controller. :evil:
New Wii storage solution is also very welcome indeed. Another 'It's about time!'? You better believe it. :)

Oh well. With Suda 51 directing along side Makoto, it'll make a nice addition to my Wii collection right next No More Heroes. :D
