Okay, so far this E3 we've had:
New MGS 4 footage
New Mario footage
Heavenly Sword
A new Yoshi's Island game
FF XIII
A new Star Fox title
An upgraded Zelda (with a version choice to boot)
New IPs (in our franchise driven industry?!) for the coming 18 months
New Sonic
New Metroid
Ouedan translated
And we've still got the MS conference AND playable reports to come. AND any behind doors reports on new games.
And people are STILL complaining that it isnt a good E3 so far? :lol
Wow. Better put that stick back in the draw, son - you'll never get the moon on it.

The new GCN games:
Super Paper Mario
Format: Nintendo GameCube
Launch Date: Q4 2006
ESRB: RP (Rating Pending)
Game Type: 2-D/3-D Sidescrolling Platformer with Role-Playing Elements
Players: 1
Developer: Intelligent Systems
KEY INFORMATION: The newest chapter of the Paper Mario story isnt just out of this world its out of this dimension.
What at first glance appears to be a 2-D sidescroller ripped straight from the pages of the Paper Mario universe soon turns into a 3-D action-adventure that defies all video game logic. Fusing 2-D and 3-D perspectives, not to mention RPG and platformer elements, the game slips back and forth between dimensions. The action sprawls across eight worlds filled with traps, puzzles, bizarre mysteries and items that often draw themselves out of thin air.
Oh, and just because Marios in the title doesnt mean hes the only star players also get to play as Peach and Bowser.
Donkey Kong Bongo Blast
Format: Nintendo GameCube
Launch Date: Q4 2006
ESRB: RP (Rating Pending)
Game Type: Airborne Racing Action
Accessories: DK Bongos Controller
Players: 1-4
Developer: Paon
KEY INFORMATION: Donkey Kong® and his pals have gotten their mitts on some high-powered Barrel Jets incredible engines that boost when struck by a pilot. By beating on the DK Bongos controller, players can make their character swoop up, bank side to side and launch attacks on rivals. (The game also can be played using a Nintendo GameCube controller.)
Players challenge the Kremlings or up to three pals on five worlds, each boasting 3-D aerial maps filled with countless obstacles and powerful items. With four people beating the bongos as they battle for the skies, this game is more party than race.

Am I the only one sort of dissapointed with them using Zelda to demo the controller?
It just seems that they should have been showing a game with the gamplay designed around that controller instead of some akward control scheme shoe-horned into the new Zelda.
I really would have liked to have seen them playing Mario instead, and why are we still locking on to things with this poiting controller?

WHY THE FUCK DIDNT THEY SHOW SUPER PAPER MARIO HOLY SHIT IT LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME
Not a bad conference...
Their message was strong, but the products backing it up weren't (just yet). Mario Universe was an exception, of course, but most of it didn't seem all that interesting (with or without the control scheme). A lot of very familiar looking content, basically.
Visuals DO matter when you look at the whole picture. It's a visual medium and great games are made from many elements with visuals being one of those elements. The entire experience something delivers is what I'm most interested in these days.
The fact that they held up a bunch of DS titles that I don't care for as proof of what they are trying to do with Wii didn't help their cause either. :\
Not excited, really, but I'm not putting it off either.

I will sure have a lot of fun with wii where graphics do not matter. But Zelda TP graphics will look dated end of 2006, they'd better had it made for Wii with upgraded graphics.
The worst thing is, I sooo wished the artists at Retro had the graphics power of next gen to make MP3, the talent + the tech would have been awesome.

Holy shit Super Paper Mario looks bizarre.

I'm much more excited about the stuff Nintendo showed/didn't show that isn't part of the Wii lineup. Yoshi's Island 2, Super Paper Mario, StarFox DS, Phoenix Wright 2, Kirby. FUCKIN' AWESOME.
i don't care about wii, and i'm still pretty happy with nintendo's conference. i'm pleasantly surprised that there's still a gc version of twilight princess. super paper mario looks SUPER HOT. starfox, mario vs dk, and OMGWTF YOSHI'S ISLAND 2 on ds. better gc/ds lineup than last year's, really.

Uploading Zelda footage now.
I'm really agreeing with that...
MP3 looks just like the other two, which is fine to a degree, but those games were about the EXPERIENCE and feeling of exploring those environments and putting together a massive world. It was incredible and I feel it would benefit MUCH more from the power of a machine like the PS3 than the unique control scheme of the Wii (which seems like it could place MORE emphasis on the "FPS" elements...which is exactly what I DON'T want).
I think a lot of their demos today were 16:9, however. Zelda, for instance, seemed to be 16:9. That's a good sign.4:3 Wii games.
Though, it was kind of funny that GS's stream of the conference was in 4:3 while their stream of Sony's was 16:9.
Some of you have lost your mind. Mario Galaxy is nowhere NEAR Mario Sunshine graphics and is closer to Kameo's graphics than anything. Metroid looks a lot better than the Gamecube games also. This will become abundantly clear as direct feed becomes available.
EDIT: Eating words on Metroid. That enemy looks WORSE than prime.

In the trailer of Super Paper Mario there's always a pointer on screen.
Does this mean it's also coming to the Wii?
Btw, it look really fun!
