About $15.

Wow again, at the classic controller price. That thing had better work with SSBB; it's cheaper than a GC control.

Ok we get it Nintendo. You want to win again. Fine.

QFT.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Looks like they will be using WiiConnect 24 to it's full potential, and then some!

 

[sharkie]

Bastard nicked one, get 'em boys

 

[thehighlight]

Damn.

 

[TheGreatDave]

man I am a little shocked at how much nintendo is embracing the online functionality!

ONLINE AM NO LONGER OVERRATED?

BROADBAND PENETRATION TOTAL!

ONLINE SELL-THROUGH MASSIVE!

 

[BulletSmoke]

the photo modes and news/weather internet stuff should have been on the 360.
wii seems to be a lifestyle device.

oh it will be, i have a sinking suspiction MS and co will be "borrowing" some ideas...

 

[larazaunida]

3:22 a.m. [update 27] WiiConnect24 will feature a BBS-like message board system that can cross-post to and from cell phones, computers and other Wii consoles.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/features/wiiconnect24.html shows info.
I dont understand anything but the picture...does that mean that you can send pictures to the wii via cell phone or pc? Hmm....I remember how they mentioned that you will be able to send mail via cell and email to animal crossing friends, be cool if you could attach gifts!'

EDIT:
Looks as if the Wii's themselves can communicate to each other as well!

 

[Duderz]

No love for ExciteTruck? That game looks even more extreme than it did at e3, and it looks insanely awesome!

hell yes there's love for ExciteTruck. Did you see the tornado in the background?!

HELLO

[RSP]

I guess they will show the same trailer over here :/

new games Nintendo!!

 

[Flo_Evans]

oh it will be, i have a sinking suspiction MS and co will be "borrowing" some ideas...

yeah when you upgrade to Vista!:lol

 

[antipode]

Matsuno !!!?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Timbuktu]

the parallels with Apple are obvious, but this should get Apple thinking that they really need a Wiimote if they're to enter the living room.

Actually, I would love Apple to and Nintendo to work together so that the Wii can talk with my Mac.

 

[thetrin]

Oh sp0rsk, Sengoku Basara game is coming out on Wii.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT

DAY ****ING ONE.

FAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAP

 

[underfooter]

Is it safe to say the late-night, Japanese-press-conference-watching gaming world just saw what could be called a Megaton of epic proportions?

 

[Game-Biz]

It doesn't, when people say interface I assume they mean the avatar creation/picture stuff. The interface itself is rather dull.

 

[DECK'ARD]

With the avatar/friends thing, I imagine you'd be able to make Groups and any posts you make to the BBS will be posted to all members of that group.

Jesus, this is going to be insanely good.

 

[Jiggy]

No love for ExciteTruck? That game looks even more extreme than it did at e3, and it looks insanely awesome!

Yeah, just not hyper insanely awesome, like the Wii interface.

 

[Maridia]

Be cool if real life weather affected WiiSports, Animal Crossing, etc.


I'm pumped for some Wii Baseball/ Boxing action.

 

[neoanarch]

buy Nintendo Products on your wii

 

[Conrad Link]

The eyes tell it all.

 

[Slurpy]

Hitting the sac. Look forward to wealth of info tomorrow.

In summary:

MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE

 

[sprsk]

yeah when you upgrade to Vista!:lol

*barf*

 

[Ford Prefect]

All this message related stuff... bitch needs a keyboard!


EDIT- or should I say WiiBoard?

 

[Flo_Evans]

is this the 1st megaton that has actaully delivered?

 

[Father_Brain]

man I am a little shocked at how much nintendo is embracing the online functionality!

ONLINE AM NO LONGER OVERRATED?

Yes, well, they still have yet to show online games, AFAIK.

Dunno about the West... but I think Nintendo has Japan in the bag this gen, more then ever.

 

[gofreak]

Europe in mid Dec? I can't imagine us coming before Japan. I'm surprised there's no leakage yet re. that ala the US launch.

The interface and avatar/photo software is fairly cool. Was hoping more would grab me on the game side though asides from what already has (mario/zelda/metroid). The Mario footage in that clip posted earlier is soo hot, as usual. Sort of mixed on all that, I was thinking they might show more new stuff. There's always the US meeting..

Price wise, it's just OK. They certainly couldn't have priced it any higher than $250.

edit - oh, and no irish weather = no sale!

 

[DECK'ARD]

I don't think megaton does this justice actually ...

 

[RSP]

holy shit the weather channel looks great!

I want to spin the globe like that every morning!

 

[SuomiDude]

No love for ExciteTruck? That game looks even more extreme than it did at e3, and it looks insanely awesome!

Give us some time. I'm totally overwhelmed by all this news. It'll take like a week to understand what Nintendo actually announced today... damn!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

All this message related stuff... bitch needs a keyboard!


EDIT- or should I say WiiBoard?

USB ports in the back say hi.

 

[HyperZone<3]

Is that the one formerly known as Wii Airplane, or was that just a tech demo?

Nope, that's a seperate project that Nintendo is cooking up, supposidely to go with Wii MotorSports.

If it was a tech demo, please notice how EVERY tech demo shown so far for the Wii has made it into an actual game.

 

[RaidenZR]

At least Matsuno looks healthy. ****ing Square.

Here's to hoping he's somewhere where he's at least appreciated and his efforts are being utilized.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Can we upgrade this to the Gigaton mark? This is just one of three conferances...the internet can't handle the strain.

 

[TheGreatDave]

The Euro event is on Friday. Some press may jump the mark and publish it early, I guess.

I expect Euro launch of around December 8th

 

[Son of Godzilla]

SO, realtime? Prerendered? WHAT! GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Well, it's exactly the same as REmake. Unless maybe that's the point?

Oh and shove off about the interface. What, it's a surprise that people can whiz through screens using a laser pointer as a guide? The actual interface with all those channels is just stupid. Half the screen is unused unless you turn on VC, then you need far more than what's on the screen.

 

[Ford Prefect]

USB ports in the back say hi.

oh yes, forgot

 

[Kangu]

Ah I hadn't seen the GUI videos. Billion seller in Japan confirmed (as if it wasn't already) but, more importantly, it looks like Microsoft should be very very afraid of the Wii. Nintendo clearly means for it to be an always on living room PC of sorts.

 

[BulletSmoke]

Yes, well, they still have yet to show online games, AFAIK.

Dunno about the West... but I think Nintendo has Japan in the bag this gen, more then ever.

hello? 4-D graphics?

 

[HaliKali]

Just Amazing...

Full size games video...

[Matt]

hell yes there's love for ExciteTruck. Did you see the tornado in the background?!

HELLO

ExciteTruck looks like quite possibly the most “fun” racing game in a long time. And what was that underwater game shown in the preview reel? That looked kick ass!

 

[Aurora]

Best GUI ever. Holy ****ing crap.

And to top it all off, Wii launches with Pokémon in Japan. :lol

 

[Synbios459]

Do you guys think there will be a way for people that don't have broadband internet, to get the VC games?

 

[thorsilver]

My god... what a fantastic little device. That interface is stellar... and, as somebody on SA pointed out, that photo editor is an awesome piece of work with it's heavy use of hardware acceleration.

Plus sign me up for Wii Sports, Fire Emblem, Zelda, DBZ with Wiimote moves of death, WarioWare, that Pilotwings-looking game, the list goes on... goddamn Nintendo, I am impressed.

I knew I was going to like it after the E3 info, but now I'm practically frothing at the mouth... c'mon Nintendo, GIMME GIMME GIMME!!

 

[.dmc]

Okay, I'm as excited as the rest of you, but my number one concern is.. with all this photo + media stuff, if it requires you to stream content from a pc in your home, will they **** mac users like they did with the ds wifi dongle? Hopefully we'll find out more tomorrow.. I don't want my Wii functionality crimped because I don't wouldn't touch Window with a barge pole..

 

[Flo_Evans]

Yes, well, they still have yet to show online games, AFAIK.

Dunno about the West... but I think Nintendo has Japan in the bag this gen, more then ever.

true but it aint over yet

It seems that they are going for a real community feel to the thing. I hope the online lobbys all have those little avatars and you can walk around and chat before jumping in a game.

 

[underfooter]

With the avatar/friends thing, I imagine you'd be able to make Groups and any posts you make to the BBS will be posted to all members of that group.

Jesus, this is going to be insanely good.

Holy Poop that would be cool! And VERY possible!








Did you guys catch that underwater exploration game? Relaxing, beautiful exploration games FTW!

[MMaRsu]

So the conference itself is in fact not over yet?

 

[Chris Michael]

Seriously people. When does the info leaking end? I doubt Nintendo's going to be announcing stuff for 3 more hours.
