I'm just wondering if Gamespot or Gametrailers is the best for streaming? Anyone know off-hand?

*just notices, only 1 Hour 30 mins to go*

Does Gametrailers use Windows Media Player? Is there a way to stream it with an external player?

Nintendo are out to make money. The savings of lower spec hardware pad their bottom line. Sony are gouging earlier adopters for the PS3, we could get gouged too. I'll be happy if its $249.

Smash Bros and Metroid Prime being saved is probably one of the best decisions Nintendo have made in awhile. Both games can be made much better with extra months shine on them, and it keeps the releases flowing.

Plus, you've already got Mario and Zelda hogging attention not to mention some quirkier titles from Nintendo that might be ignored if other big hitters were present.

I see what you and others are saying, but even if it doesn't include a second controller and game, don't you think must have games like Mario or Super Smash Brothers Online would sway you to buy the console at $250? I know it would be a rippoff, but I definitely would tempted to fork over the cash.

It will include 2 controllers (the logo says it all!), but, yeah, I see what you're saying. We'll see in an hour and a half.:D


EDIT: Who the fuck am I kidding? I'd probably pay $200 for MP3 alone.

You'd think they'd have a big hitter between launch and the end of the year though, especially if it launches in October as rumoured, so I wonder what that would be. Mario at launch, Zelda a month later?

Under. But close.

You forget that there will be 30 threads which break down each announcement into their own topics of discussion.

Yeah, probably Mario will launch with the console and Zelda will follow soon. We must remember that George Harrison said that they want to have a strong, different Line-Up at first, and then a strong support in the following 6-12 months.

$250 is NOT the price.. they just said that it's an acceptable price. One thing I did notice is that on the plastic cover thing that the issue was in, it says that they revealed "some" of the secrets of the wii in the issue... which basically makes you wonder, is there anything else we don't know that will be shown?

Oh you one man hype machine you :)

Yes, or Quicktime at your choice. Also note the little icons on the right side of the pop-up window when you click to view a given video. Click on one of them to immediately download the movie and close out the window to move on without being stuck with the ads or stream.

No joke.... last night I was trying to get videos and the entire site reset itself... all the links led back to a two year old King of Fighters trailer. Luckily I saw the MGS4 and FFXIII trailers before it went down.

im just going to make a checklist of things we should be seeing or that i want nintendo to cover:

first of all the games...MARIO, Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid....even if they all arent for launch i must see them!


not only that but if Smash Bros and Metroid are not for launch i esp want to see THE NEW FRANCHISES WHATEVER THEY MAYBE!!!

ok so that was one thing...the games...next i want nintendo to cover:

-online plans...wifi how they are going about it
-virtual console...how much which games etc etc
-controller...reply to sony....and show the TRADITIONAL shell which can be used for those games that dont take advantage of the Wii control.

On 1up's site - will the Nintendo link under "conferences" be clickable once it begins or is that only where to see it once it is over? So far Gametrailers is DOA so we need 1up as a backup, no? Where is the live feed there?

Why didn't IGN have the conference live? I spit on my Insider membership. Anyway, Gamespot really pulled through.

Sadness... I am at school, therefore I can't see the conference.

I hope I can get to read the 1up report over lunch though.... and of course see what the scoop is here.

I am looking forward to seeing what the Wii has to offer. I would like to see exactly how the controller support with Zelda works. Of course, I am intrigued by Mario, but I would also like to see how Smash Bros. and Metroid Prime looks.

If Red Steel has a fully functioning demo, that would be cool.

I feel completely apathetic towards it, which is strange. I'm sure I'll get going once the conference starts.

Guess I've been burnt too many times to get excited. And it's not helping that I have an image in my head of Mario Galaxy which involves little platforming and ltos of flying about in a UFO.

so basically if Nintendo comes up, shows a true Mario 64 sequel (like NSMB is a true SMB sequel), shows SSBM online, Pokemon Diamond, and says the system will be $199, they win E3.

AMIRITE?

Nintendo never has the flashiest conferences, though, so it's hard to get pumped like Sony and Microsoft make you feel. Nintendo is SOOOO secretive.
