Yeah, the beta/unreleased game footage potential is maybe the most interesting part of the feature.

It's really good, I was a little disappointed at first because I also expected a conference but it all worked out. Plus it looks like the next episode could be a press conference.

Wait, that can't be right. I'm pretty sure the dreamcast version of Rez came out in the West didn't it? And well before the ps2 version.
Edit: I guess it did come out pretty much the same time in Europe. Weird, I remember things differently.

It got a PAL release, but no NTSC-U release.

Secret best part of the Mario Maker update that wasn't mentioned: a button to just scroll over your stages and see exactly where the death Xs and comments were left without having to actually play through it and die a bunch, or stare at the tiny thumbnail that only showed the first subworld.
There will be no memes left to mine out of Fe:f in three months!!!

Seriously. I have a few stages that I built in classic "underground" style where you start out aboveground, and I could never get any decent death tracking

So Europeans haven't had a chance to be upset about anime face rubbing yet?
Oh boy

Was sad to hear no Great Detective Pikachu for EU/NA
We got that weirdo horse solitaire game after like two years, so don't give up hope on game featuring Pikachu, extremely recognizable video game mascot.
Also, it's episodic, so they might be waiting for the whole thing to be released before localizing it.
We're just waiting for the chance to burn everything down over it.
I am very apprehensive about the Red Coins/Keys stuff. I greatly fear an influx of "puzzle" or "boss" levels that take away platforming for combat and hidden block searches. Those kind of levels are always bummers to run into, IMO. LET ME PLAY THE DAMN MARIO GAME. THIS ISN'T METROID AS MUCH I WOULD LIKE ONE OF THOSE.

What do cattle, horses, and hay bales have to do with a translated Nintendo game? ;p

Why do the graphics look so bad? Luigi's Mansion 2 (which is a game, Giant Bomb) looks great.
Looks aside, the increasingly frantic attempts to sell the concept reek of desperation. How pathetic will this get?
I'm blaming autocorrect.
According to the direct it started as a DSi game. Looks like it's finishing that way too.
Somebody was paid to provide screens for the press and this was among the best that poor person could do.
You were thinking about that christmas goat.

On the one hand, I agree, Mario is about platforming.
On the other, people are going to make those levels anyway, so throwing those creators (and all creators) a few big bones so they don't have to keep relying on POW Block pedestals, or Bowser Jr. in a clown car where the exit is high up or Big Bowser in a tiny room with fire flowers or whatever, then go for it.
It's like, I don't really care that much for the shmup levels either, but Nintendo decided to make it easier by making the fire clown car so people didn't need to keep having Fire Flowers spawn and shoot at awkward angles.

Hilariously, ratings are disabled on the Federation Force trailer on youtube but not on any of the other direct stuff.

What the fuck am I looking at
i don't really see anything wrong with federation force with the exception of the art direction which is easily the weakest thing about it. i'm not sure if you guys are talking about that or the fidelity, though. i think the latter is not really a problem. people should really know by now that screenshots of 3ds games aren't fit to serve as basis for anything

The art is appalling. As for fidelity, other 3DS games look much better than it, even when blown up. For example, the brief gameplay footage of Monster Hunter from the same direct looks like it's running on a different system, as does Kirby.

I hope they do Konami's E3 2010 conference at some point too.

As long as Demo Derby and Game Tapes are on a consistent bases.
Game Tapes can be Brad/Drew/Jeff
Demo Derby Dan/Drew/Jeff
it'll be perfect
It just makes me a little sad every time I have to skip a bunch of levels in Mario Challenge for being complete bullshit. I just want to have some platforming fun, why is everyone trying to be Dan Ryckert?

What does it say about GB West that more than anything I just want commentary of them talking over footage rather than watch them actually play games?
Like, I'm bummed they didn't do a stream for the Nintendo Direct. I know they give a shit about like 0.1% of it but that just makes it better.

Don't think we know either way at the moment, earlier in the week Vinny was asking about what Castlevania to play next so hopefully that's tomorrow.

Cool. I hope they do Sony's 2005 conference (note: 2006 was the infamous one), too. This was the conference that had the return of the ducks demo, the Killzone 2 "gameplay" reveal trailer, and other stuff relating to PS3's potential. Then I hope for 2006, because, man, that was something else...

All around, 2005 is a phenomenal year for choice Game Tape content. The Xbox 360 double-whammy,
MTV Next Generation Revealed
and

should be able to just filter tags in mario challenge
That would be the actual best news from the direct.

So is it a full-fledged sequel because its name in its country of origin says so?
Well, its name everywhere but NA says so, haha.

Yeah, the next Nintendo systems should probably be region free.

Considering how long SMT4 Final is taking, I don't even think Europe will get it lol.

No, it'll be region locked because it benefits Nintendo since it
???????????????????????????????????????????
It is weird that the horse game was the only thing that I found interesting in the Direct?

I thought the idea was specifically to go through Gamespot's vhs collection? Would konami 2010 even apply?
