E3 2010: Nintendo Press Conference Thread

[portnoyd]

Three cameras, motion sensor, gyrothingamabobber, 3D. $200 or less? Maybe?

EDIT: Kid Icarus, wtf

[NayusDante]

Star Fox + Zelda = Kid Icarus?

[grolt]

So now why can't Sega revive Alex Kidd or Wonder Boy?

[TonyTheTiger]

I understand the top screen being widescreen. What I don't understand is why the lower screen isn't as well. One of the DS's neatest features was when the two screens worked together to form a single image or game world. Doing that with two different screen sizes will be odd.

What I like is that they realized something about glasses-free 3D. It requires the viewer to be strictly positioned. In a movie theater or in front of a TV that creates a problem. But since people generally keep a handheld right in front of them, and usually only one person looks at it at once, they can get away with it without much issue.

[portnoyd]

Width concerns, possibly. Also, I don't think two screens to form one image is of any concern this go around.

[Oobgarm]

I had no interest in 3DS, until they listed these titles:

Kingdom Hearts
Metal Gear Solid
and
PROFESSOR LAYTON!

I'm tiring of these yearly system updates, but they may have me here.

[portnoyd]

+ Cats! Whoopity doo. Still will sell hojillions. Nintendo will continue to print money.

[portnoyd]

Christ, if they seriously get all these on the 3DS, the PSP2 is pretty much DOA.

EDIT: Assuming the 3D function doesn't blow anus.

[kupomogli]

So far no games on the 3DS interest me but Kid Icarus. Also. Didn't realize times were PDT :P. I also agree about the stupidity of two different screen sizes.

[TonyTheTiger]

Videoland needs saving!

Bowser just went Scorpion on Reggie's ass.

[NayusDante]

Microsoft gave away slim60s...

Is Nintendo giving away booth babes???

[kupomogli]

I'd bang all those women. Atleast the ones we got a good glance of and are hot. I'll let you guys take the ugly ones.

[GrandAmChandler]

E3 is over. Mark this day, where Nintendo finally catered to the hardcore gamer.

[Enigmus]

Don't bother with e3.nintendo.com. I've been watching a bit, and it's just interviews hosted by an old woman.

Yeah, they've taken casual to the bank, all right.

[NayusDante]

There's actually not as much casual stuff as last year. This has been the strongest press conference I've seen in a long time.

[grolt]

The difference between this conference and M$'s is that Nintendo had a lot of games to show. They too focused on some new technology, but the games themselves were diverse, fresh and found ways to bolster franchises with new gameplay options. With M$ it was all more of the same with its big IPs, and then a bunch of clunky Kinect demos. Everyone thought the Wii was losing steam, but with that slate of first-party titles coming out, I don't think anyone has to worry. And yeah, vintage gamers have a lot to be excited for, too.

[N 2 Nintendo]

Indeed, this year looks good for Nintendo gaming, and the future beyond (Notice the Arwing in the 3DS's video demonstration they showed.) Zelda may not be coming out this year, but with everything else, it makes up for it.

[Voliko]

I have been waiting so long for another DKC. The moment has finally come. Easily the highlight of the show for me. It was an excellent conference overall and Nintendo is truly ahead of the pack this time.

[N 2 Nintendo]

Don't bother with e3.nintendo.com. I've been watching a bit, and it's just interviews hosted by an old woman.

Yeah, they've taken casual to the bank, all right.

Not sure what you watching, they're talking about (not showing) Zelda Skyward Sword at the moment.

[NayusDante]

I'm excited about Zelda, but it doesn't look really different from what we've seen before. The art style looks neat, and I feel like we're back on SNES again, but we've played Zelda before. It's not disappointing by any means, but I just think we might be ready to change the formula a bit more.
