...anything I missed? Anything wrong?

 

[GDGF]

I can not wait until TGS!

 

[MoccaJava]

I thought TGS was in March?

 

[SantaC]

jarrod, I am not 100% sure but I think Castlevania DS online has been dropped due to time constraints, and that map trading is local only.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Jeez, Nintendo could really steal away TGS, couldn't they?

 

[GDGF]

I can not wait for next years TGS!

 

[xsarien]

I've clearly entered some bizarro world where Nintendo has more 3rd and 1st party online games in development than Sony.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I can not wait for next years TGS!

And they could steal that one, right? :lol

 

[GDGF]

And they could steal that one, right? :lol

:lol They'll steal 'em all!

 

[yoopoo]

Jeez, Nintendo could really steal away TGS, couldn't they?

Nintendo doesn't attend TGS.

 

[AirBrian]

I've clearly entered some bizarro world where Nintendo has more 3rd and 1st party online games in development than Sony.

:lol :lol The same thought ran through my head.

 

[jarrod]

jarrod, I am not 100% sure but I think Castlevania DS online has been dropped due to time constraints, and that map trading is local only.

Konami never specified it being Dawn of Sorrow... I suspect it refers to the inevitable sequel.

 

[akascream]

ONE HANDHELD FUTURE!

 

[Ruzbeh]

I'm very much surprised that Nintendo has so many online titles!!

I hope this Nintendo DS online service works out!

 

[SantaC]

Konami never specified it being Dawn of Sorrow... I suspect it refers to the inevitable sequel.

well no compliants about a sequel

the more castlevania, the merrier.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I thought TGS was in March?

That was back when it was twice a year. It's only once now and its in September.

 

[ToxicAdam]

::insert dancing Shiggy here::

 

[Smiles and Cries]

when is TGS?

edit: thanks

 

[jarrod]

Nintendo doesn't attend TGS.

No, but Atari, Bandai, Banpresto, Capcom, Eletcronic Arts, From Software, Hudson Soft, KOEI, Konami, Marvelous Interactive, Namco, SEGA, Spike, Square Enix, Taito, Ubisoft and Vivendi Universal all do. And they've all promised online DS titles.

 

[GDGF]

That was back when it was twice a year. It's only once now and its in September.

I can't wait for September TGS!!!

 

[Ruzbeh]

No, but Atari, Bandai, Banpresto, Capcom, Eletcronic Arts, From Software, Hudson Soft, KOEI, Konami, Marvelous Interactive, Namco, SEGA, Spike, Square Enix, Taito, Ubisoft and Vivendi Universal all do. And they've all promised online DS titles.

It's says here that last year, Nintendo DS titles from Nintendo Co, Ltd were shown. So what's going on?

 

[SantaC]

when is TGS?

edit: thanks

usually in end of september.

 

[gofreak]

-Bomberman (Hudson)

This has been confirmed?

edit - also, wasn't the Age of Empires DS game going to be online? Or was that just local wireless?

 

[jarrod]

This has been confirmed?

Yes, though it's likely the sequel to Bomberman DS.

 

[gofreak]

Yes, though it's likely the sequel to Bomberman DS.

Ah I see. Well, it must happen sooner rather than later, I hope!

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I can't wait for September TGS!!!

And in that TGS, Nintendo could really steal the show!!!

 

[Jibber Hack]

I wish Nintendo would just go ahead and participate in the TGS. What's their deal?

 

[MoccaJava]

What exactly is the point of the discussion here?

 

[Teddman]

So is Mario Kart DS going to be truly online? In the sense that I can play my buddies across the country in arranged matches?

 

[jarrod]

What exactly is the point of the discussion here?

Well, I'd like to know if I've missed anything? Did any 3rd parties make online confirmations at E3? Did Sony announce anything else besides SOCOM & NeoPets?

 

[yoopoo]

So is Mario Kart DS going to be truly online? In the sense that I can play my buddies across the country in arranged matches?

Yes, 4 players online. 8 players local wireless.

 

[jarrod]

So is Mario Kart DS going to be truly online? In the sense that I can play my buddies across the country in arranged matches?

Yes.

 

[akascream]

What exactly is the point of the discussion here?

To show that Nintendo is better than Sony.

 

[GDGF]

To show that Nintendo is better than Sony.

or that Sony is the new Nintendo.

 

[MoccaJava]

I was talking more about the switch to TGS. Just people going back and forth saying "Can't wait until TGS".

 

[Mama Smurf]

Yes, 4 players online. 8 players local wireless.

I heard that, but then I read an interview (maybe on IGN) with the director of the game, who said it would be 8 players online.

I hope so, 4 would do, but surely they can manage 8.

 

[MoccaJava]

No...the point of it being four players is that the game cannot handle eight. That requires more power than you assume.

 

[Ponn]

To show that Nintendo is better than Sony.

Thats funny, i'm playing online games right now on the psp. I don't have anything for my DS yet too play online.

 

[GDGF]

I was talking more about the switch to TGS. Just people going back and forth saying "Can't wait until TGS".

Oh. That was just me being silly.


Really though, I can't wait for the once annual but now only held in September where Nintendo will surely steal the show through the power of their third parties although we all freely admit that nintendo should attend themselves TGS!!!

 

[Mama Smurf]

No...the point of it being four players is that the game cannot handle eight. That requires more power than you assume.

Well that'd be disappointing, lots of games would really benefit from a greater number of players. Oh wehn will my 30 player F-Zero dreams come true.

EDIT: And I'm wrong about that interview thing, don't know how I read it like I did.

 

[jarrod]

...I do think we'll see some bigger 3rd parties take the plunge for PSP online (EA, Activision, UbiSoft, THQ, Sega) later this year but I don't think we'll see much outside that. It'll probably be like Xbox vs PS2, with DS seeing lots of online games from smaller publishers. Capcom making Monster Hunter Portable local wireless only doesn't really inspire confidence, and with Japan so slow to get into online gaming I don't think we'll see anyone but Sega really pursuing PSP online there.

Also, I bet the long rumored PSO DS shows up at TGS.

 

[GDGF]

Also, I bet the long rumored PSO DS shows up at TGS.

Here's to hoping it will! That would be freaking great.

 

[imastalker co.]

PSO with touch screen menus and chat would be godly.

 

[John Harker]

Not TGS, Nintendo doesnt go

Spaaaaaaaaaaaacewoooooooooooorld

 

[John Harker]

And where do we think World of Mana is going to end up?

 

[Mallrat83]

I think we could pencil in Sega's supposed online Sonic game for the DS too.

 

[Wollan]

Lemmings for the PSP is missing from that list.
Gets released this autumn by SCEE. Supports downloadable content just like WipEout + you can create your own levels which you can share online...etc.

 

[jarrod]

And where do we think World of Mana is going to end up?

PlayStation 3/PC/Xbox 360. Or Revolution.

But Shinkyaku Seiken Densetsu 2 DS should make a lovely companion release.

 

[jarrod]

Lemmings for the PSP is missing from that list.
Gets released this autumn by SCEE. Supports downloadable content just like WipEout + you can create your own levels which you can share online...etc.

Ah thanks... I had a feeling I was missing something.

Anything else? Did 989 specify if their 2006 line would be online? Or any of SOE's upcoming games?

 

[Kobun Heat]

"World of Mana" isn't a single game, though. It's the umbrella name for their new polymorphic approach to the Mana franchise. I'm guessing just like Code Age and FFVII they'll show off about three or four different games/products at once. Mana manga? Rabite plushies? Who knows.
