plz no sci-fi bullshit.

I want galaxy to represent an open ended mushroom kingdom

I can imagine travelling to different planets as a direct approach to the world changes in other mario games. Like you go to an ice planet, or a desert planet or a water planet. Of course they would still be populated with creatures appropriate to the mushroom kingdom.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Anyone else think Nintendo has a few things up their sleave? I also wouldn't be surprised if Reggie makes fun of Sony :lol

Nintendo has a chance to win this E3 in a very lopsided fashion and they really wouldn't even need "surprises" to do it. Just unveiling new games from their big franchises would be enough to do that. It's probably going to be like the Zelda 2004 reaction x10 during that conference.

 

[Nick]

I cannot WAIT for this damn conference. I can't sleep. It's all up to Nintendo and Microsoft at this point (duh) and... honestly, it's Nintendo.

Goooo, Wiitards!

 

[sprsk]

galaxy sounds multiplayer

 

[xabre]

The last time Nintendo unveiled a home console at E3 was GC in 2001; that went well with a solid presentation and good showing on the floor. All indications point to at least as a good a performance with Wii and when you consider what will be shown (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, SSBM etc) it'll should in fact be a good deal better.

I'm staying home from school so I can get news of the Nintendo and Microsoft conferences.

It's Mario 128 without a doubt .

As long as people have their expectations sufficiently lowered concerning graphics, i think it will be impressive.. But obviously there will be some graphics complaints and that could hinder it some. the gameplay will really have to deliver, especially the first party titles (and i think it will for the most part)

If they can show how much it'll change how games are played then most people (because some are completely against the system already) won't care that the graphics don't stack up to other systems. Everyone is really looking toward Nintendo show what it can do even though games like Red Steel look like they could do a good job of it also.

Dudes Mario Galaxy is not the name. It's someone on IGN just making shit up. He was like,

"It's logical!"

Mario Land
Mario World
Mario 64
Mario Sunshine (center of the solar system)
Mario Galaxy"

So everyone was just like, "Oh, ok."

Jesus as lame as Super Mario Sunshine was of a name, thank the stars and shines they won't call this next one Mario Galaxy. I mean, what the fuck.

Shiggy has said Mario will have a new sidekick in this game so the name will likely revolve around that.

Mario Poochie.

Ha, I misspelled that initially, but there is a Poochy in Mario mythos.

Wasn't that interview fake? Am I thinking about something else?

no, sorry. Nintendo needs a trifecta. You forgot to add Metroid in your equation.

You must count the delay.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

like was said by koam (THANK YOU) in the egm zelda thread, 7 nintendo ips at launch. so i was right to an extent. so very sadly though, ssb3 and mp3 are both 2007. speaker in the controller, which actually is pretty awesome. if wii is 200 at launch, i expect success after that sony snoozefest last night.

 

[madara]

The page before this one.

Really I must be blind, I have looked 5 times, I have not seen on original post about this interesting name.

Mario alone is enough to storm the industry, if it is AAA++ !

the liquid sadly.


:lol i just finished the bathroom act, i was in there for an hour,(coming to computer back and forth)

ahh, i cant wait


i cant see how this conference will top Sony's(but im hoping to god it will), imo that conference was amazing towards the end.

 

[HomShaBom]

I'm 18, I don't have to fake it anymore. Though my mom would get pissed if she found out, considering she pays for my private school...*cough*

fine, 5.30 hrs

so, i just woke up. where´s the USA today leak??

i see Matt is teasing with a mario model... looks like the meele/NSMB model imo.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

what does everyone think of the console always being online? what does that mean for the games? ; )

Reggie could make fart jokes for two hours and it would top the Sony conference.

That's actually very strange to me, i guess they will explain it today. I don't see many applications for it.

agreed. dont look so far into it, people. we are hours away.

hold onto your butts

btw, due to recent shameless events, does anyone think Nintendo will change their conf??

i really hope not, they must deliver now. E3 is not supposed to be as boring as yesterday

 

[evilromero]

Today just mentioned the Wii will be out this summer. That could mean Sept or it could mean July. Or it could mean they just don't know shit.

I just want some smart remark from Reggie to Sony.

Or hell, even from Iwata!

Not sure if this has been mentioned but its related to the hint above. From Matt's blog on Saturday the 6th. Interesting edit @ #4!:

Specific E3 2006 Predictions
For me, E3 2006 begins this weekend. That's because I've already got a few things to write about prior to the show and I'll have a lot more in a couple of days. If I don't tackle this stuff now, I'll run out of time next week. So I figured I should use this Saturday morning (er, afternoon) to post a quickie blog before I'm neck-deep in coverage.

I'm going to make some predictions. I don't think they'll all come true. In fact, I'm expecting to be wrong on at least a couple of them, but what fun are predictions if you don't shoot for the moon? This is a blog, so of course I welcome your input on these, good or bad. And before you start posting "Matt confirms..." threads, I refer you to the beginning of this paragraph again -- you know, the bit about these being predictions, and possibly wrong ones.

1. Nintendo and Sony Keep Wii and PlayStation 3 price points a secret
2. Microsoft unveils a massive lineup of downloadable Xbox Live Arcade games to combat Nintendo's virtual console
3. Metroid Prime 3 confirmed as Wii launch title
4. New Wii Mario shown on video, but not playable [EDIT: Er, I change my mind]
5. At least thee new Wii IPs from Nintendo and its teams, one of them a "sandbox" style game
6. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Wii shown, but not playable, and void of online functionality
7. Most, if not all Wii games shown exclusively at Nintendo's E3 booth
8. Zelda: Twilight Princess demoed for Wii
9. A number of Wi surprise titles that nobody could have predicted
10. Metroid Dread for DS returns? Well, a man can dream...

 

[DrGAKMAN]

I've said this in a couple of threads already and we'll soon find out if I'm right. The first 2 have already happened:
-TGS-Nintendo shows the Wiimote controller earlier than we all thought, it's very puzzling 'cos of them being afraid of "stealing" it
-E3 2006-Sony pretty much "steals" it (in a way)
-E3 2006-Nintendo counters with something big* (camera, so as to double trump Sony's EyeToy) knowing all along that Sony would "steal" it

My other predictions were that Sony *would* reveal the price (which they did) and that MS will reveal the "X-BOY".

*maybe it's not a camera, maybe it's just the speaker (and hopefully mic too) which would be big, but I'm thinking bigger

i hope so too. i actually expect that to be part of the conf.
