[E3 08] - Nintendo Press Conference, July 15th 9am PT/12pm ET

[AgtFox]

This is the thread to discuss the happenings at the Nintendo Press Conference on Tuesday, July 15th at 9am PT. This thread will be closed until right before the conference is on.

This post and the next (for possible maximum character limit) will be used by me to try to touch on the major points as they happen.

Along with this thread, be sure to have our Liveblogging E3 Page (http://www.evilavatar.com/e3/e3.php?conference=4) for this conference open as well that Nick (bapenguin) and Scott (Psykoboy2) will be updating on location as the conference is going.

Some new news as of July 14th. We have the lineup of people that will probably be talking at the Nintendo event:

Mr. Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co., Ltd.
Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, legendary Nintendo game designer
Mr. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president and chief operating officer
Ms. Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America executive vice president of Sales & Marketing
Ms. Denise Kaigler, Nintendo of America vice president of Corporate Affairs

[Dingobloo]

Oh look it's pictures of people being mainstream, wearing beanies... playing wii-fit and such things.

I'm so glad these press conferences are off-peak Australian time, no taking my on-peak download limit.

[Flatpicker]

F-zero Wii. Plz.

[NoName]

Well, right now the G4 online stream is going without any hiccups. Hopefully it stays this way...

As opposed to people being hardcore niche, wearing novelty T-shirts they bought at Hot topic... playing Pain and such things. :p

[AgtFox]

ok...showtime it seems

[Kamalot]

F-zero Wii. Plz.

I may just wet myself if that happens.

[IndependentGMR]

Prediction: first person zelda with 1:1 sword fighting!

[Dingobloo]

As opposed to people being hardcore niche, wearing novelty T-shirts they bought at Hot topic... playing Pain and such things. :p
Yes but you can tell these people arent just normal, they're mainstream by looking at their trendy hats, slick dance moves and flashing them pearly whites.

[AgtFox]

Aw..."we promise to keep the world smiling"

[Xerxes]

Hellbug, get your mom off the stage.

[Dingobloo]

This lady is insipid.

"Why wouldn't you be smiling, when your marketing is allowing your console to outsell the competition combined!"

[EternalGamer]

I love to smile while I play videogames.

(Why are they talking to the audience like they are retarded.)

[AgtFox]

yay...Shawn White...almost no applause...ha

[Flatpicker]

Is that Carrot Top? Eww!

[IndependentGMR]

Snowboarding...with the wii fit board...pfft

[EternalGamer]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I present to you, the new Jeff Bell in female form.

[dfr]

awesome mii he has ... o.O

[gzsfrk]

Nintendo are apparently now going after the MILF-Hunter demographic.

[IndependentGMR]

what a boring start.

[Dingobloo]

oh boy, this is more waja than Microsofts casual segment, I have no doubt this is how it's going to be the whole way through.

[AgtFox]

So, anyone have any ideas how Nintendo will make the "core" group happy?

[Wolvie]

Yes but you can tell these people arent just normal, they're mainstream by looking at their trendy hats, slick dance moves and flashing them pearly whites.

Perhaps Nintendo paid random people off the street to come in and 'look' mainstream for the camera? That would be hilarious if true.

[bean19]

This is like watching a B-student in my college speech course. Hire experts! Screen the process. Don't just put up some Mom who talks about how her working for Nintendo allows her to relate to her children better than real skiing. That doesn't warm us up. That just annoys us.

Shaun White is awesome though. :) However, he is such an advertisement whore that I don't trust him at all. Not that I don't think the Wii Fit board can't simulate snowboarding. . . I just don't think it looks fun.

[Flatpicker]

oh boy, this is more waja than Microsofts casual segment, I have no doubt this is how it's going to be the whole way through.
Waja?

short.

[AgtFox]

Exclusively? White Snowboarding is coming everywhere...maybe she just means exclusively for the Wii balance board.

[gzsfrk]

For a minute, I thought they had Carrot Top demoing the product.

[EternalGamer]

So uh... when does Sony's conference start again?

[boratika]

She's trying to be J. Allard with her xtreem sports injury.

[Xerxes]

So, anyone have any ideas how Nintendo will make the "core" group happy?

What core? Nintendo is like the Apple of video games. Their core group isn't the "core" group.

[gzsfrk]

I lol'd when she said, "Let me get my board going here." She can get my board going. :)

Nice pedicure, btw.

[Flatpicker]

Paradigm shift in 3, 2, 1....

[Dingobloo]

Waja?

short.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=waja (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=waja)

[Dr.Finger]

get out your buzzword bingo cards people.

[AgtFox]

This is what we've done in the past...let's get on with the new stuff!

[Flatpicker]

so Miyamoto?

[AgtFox]

Let's just bring out Miyamoto and show off whatever he's dreamed up now. He always makes things exciting.

[IndependentGMR]

This is awesome. A paradigm shift. He is blowing my mind.

[Xerxes]

He's Merged Zelda And Mario... Zario!

[AgtFox]

Sounds like new Mario and Zelda if I understood Iwata correctly.

[bean19]

Iwata: "I told you so bitches! You thought my shit was whack back in 2005, but what's up now? Wii be kickin' the ass!" *throws the horns*

(Above is a more entertaining version of Iwata bragging about the Wii's success).

[NoName]

"Games used to be for gamers, now we've suckered in everyone!"

[EternalGamer]

There you go Hardcore! There was their entire pitch to you: 5 seconds of still images from Mario and Zelda. ;)

[dfr]

Sounds like new Mario and Zelda if I understood Iwata correctly.

you understand correctly, but he will announce shortly that they can only be payed with a full body suit for babies :D

[PsychoticVile]

So, anyone have any ideas how Nintendo will make the "core" group happy?

I don't think Nintendo cares about making that group happy anymore.

[AgtFox]

Hopefully Iwata will constitute all the numbers we will hear today...then again Reggie hasn't shown up yet.

[bean19]

I like how he transforms into Voltron when he says "Paradigm Shift".

[Flatpicker]

So, F-U gamers, we are going to peddle the same casual crap.

[AgtFox]

d'oh...signal went out on G4 TV...now it's back

[boratika]

Iwata is like eveyone's favourite Japanese uncle.get out your buzzword bingo cards people.

I was playing the buzzword drinking game. I now have alcohol poisoning.

[NoName]

To bad I'm at work, else I'd have a drink every time someone said "paradigm". :D

[bean19]

d'oh...signal went out on G4 TV...now it's back

Much more reliable feed is IGN Livewire:

http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html

[Wraith]

is a Wii Lite coming? New DS?

[AgtFox]

Awww...Iwata wants to marry me, he said "Engaged!"

[Flatpicker]

Games need to be engaging? Guess good stories can't do that?

[TheDancinMan]

So, we get Shaun White on the Balance Board, Iwata's philosophy, and, well, is that it?

[AgtFox]

Much more reliable feed is IGN Livewire:

http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html
Nono...I'm watching it on the actual television. No internet feed for me, worked well yesterday.

[Dingobloo]

drink on Engage, Paradigm, Experience, Non-gamers.

[Telefrog]

So, anyone have any ideas how Nintendo will make the "core" group happy?

This is Nintendo's "core" group now. Get used to it. :(

[AgtFox]

thank God...Iwata is winding up.

[Xerxes]

Were Bringing Back The Glove Bitches!!!

[NoName]

That and the IGN feed is delayed. ;)

The G4 internet feed is actually stable today.

[Deunnero]

20 minutes in and we know what exactly?

[Mdot23]

This damn IGN feed is nice, but slow. Oh well, no biggie.

[AgtFox]

Animal Crossing creator in video form

[AgtFox]

new game...Animal Crossing: City Folk for Wii

[gzsfrk]

What does Guitar Hero III selling the most on the Wii have to do with a new paradigm? Did I understand him correctly?

[bean19]

SHOW US THE GAMES AND STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHY!

Omg, he said paradigm again! I'm going to explode!!!!

(Anyone think Reggie is off-stage telling him to fill because they don't have any games to show us?)

[Codicier]

Paradigm shift in 3, 2, 1....

We'll need to spool up the FTLs before we can paradigm shift sir.

[Dr.Finger]

Animal Crossing: the clock/calendar simulator for Wii

[gzsfrk]

is a Wii Lite coming? New DS?

Not much use for a Wii lite--it's tiny as it is. Maybe one with better storage options.

And sure--a new DS could be cool. Not sure what they'd change, though--unless it was just to release one with larger screens.

[bean19]

Were Bringing Back The Glove Bitches!!!

Hilarious. :)

*turns into Voltron*

[TheDancinMan]

I have never cared about Animal Crossing before, and I know I'm not gonna start caring now.

[AgtFox]

AC: City Life coming before end of year supposedly

[Dingobloo]

Fuck You And Your Peripherals

[Dr.Finger]

Wii Speak, a mic that picks up the whole room at once.

[AgtFox]

Wii Speak community microphone...tied to AC: City Life. This looks like their online talk solution.

[gzsfrk]

New Animal Crossing, looks like.

[Xerxes]

Gah... Bring mom back out.

[Flatpicker]

I'm waiting for the Wii toilet seat perhip and WiiShit.

[NoName]

Ok ok, they have a new animal crossing game. Lets move on...

[Talon-]

I personally don't care about Animal Crossing, but it's good to see Nintendo embracing the idea of creating online communities (quite literally).

Wii Speak doesn't really come as a surprise. They weren't going to make a microphone.

REGGIE! REGGIE!

[Dr.Finger]

Reggie!! Finally

[Dingobloo]

Reggie, get prepared for numbers...

[EternalGamer]

How bankrupt of ideas are they?

I loved both the first two Animal Crossings, but this is the same damn thing AGAIN. They didn't even apparently do anything with the "city" aspect but shove the DS stuff in the City.

[NoName]

"How awesome are we here at Nintendo? So awesome"

[IndependentGMR]

wii speak...better than no voice chat!

[AgtFox]

Reggie just showed that DS has the biggest wang around ;)

[Xerxes]

I still like my PSP more at the moment. :p

[NoName]

Ug, Pokemon, the never ending money sink for little kids.

[Xerxes]

OMG.... POKEMON MMO... Please!!!!

[Flatpicker]

Pokemon. Sales good.

[bean19]

You know what he is saying about the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 outselling the others? That's bullshit.

Guitar Hero 3
Xbox 360 - 3.12 million (http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=&console=X360&developer=&publisher=&genre=&keyword=&order=Sales)
Wii - 2.90 million (http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=&console=Wii&developer=&publisher=&genre=&keyword=&order=Sales)
PS3 - 1.36 million (http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=&console=PS3&developer=&publisher=&genre=&keyword=&order=Sales)

Animal Crossing just won't cut it for me anymore. . . I got it and enjoyed it as an odd Japanese oddity, but there isn't any weirdness to it anymore. Now it's just a cutesy casual game with pretty boring mini-games.

[gzsfrk]

Wow... this is pretty weak-sauce so far. I know they're probably saving the best stuff for later, but they really should pick up the momentum a bit.

[EternalGamer]

All this conference is doing so far is reminding me why I should stop caring about Nintendo.

[Flatpicker]

I like Reggie and this is still tedious.

[Dingobloo]

Reggie: "Our marketting... is pretty damn good"

[Dr.Finger]

Reggie is crediting those dopey Ugly Betty commercials for moving systems and software

[IndependentGMR]

I have no problems with Animal Crossing. It's a fun series, and my wife is obsessed with it.

[AgtFox]

Reggie...let's announce something instead of showing the numbers we all know you're winning at.

[Flatpicker]

Software. excepting third parties and counting pack-ins.

[Mdot23]

Most games during first 19 months. Wii Play says hi.

[Grifter]

Holy fuck is this boring! I don't remember other conferences being this bad, was the beginning of the MS press conference the same?

[Flatpicker]

List the actual titles. Are they more than shovelware?

[EternalGamer]

I have no problems with Animal Crossing. It's a fun series, and my wife is obsessed with it.

I love Animal Crossing. But they are selling me the same game for the third time. It looks exactly the same and everything they showed outside of the mic was in the previous games. There was absolutely no new activities in this game. Even the fish, wallpaper, and graphics look ripped straight out of the Cube version.

[AgtFox]

they had to drop the bar down to 400,000 to get 19 titles and make it look good.

[Primitive Screwhead]

Dear Lord man GET ON WITH IT!

[bean19]

Could these guys be more smug and self-congratulatory? SHOW US THE NEW GAMES!!! We already know that you guys are doing awesome.

[NationalKato]

Who's buying PS2 consoles? :)

[Xerxes]

It's nothing but casual games and gimmicks Reggie. You not fooling anybody. :p

[Wolvie]

Ugh, blah blah blah, past info blah blah blah. OK we get it, you sold a lot of shit, get to the new stuff captain braggart!

[Flatpicker]

This complacency will hurt them.

[NoName]

"The Wii gets a lot of shovel ware!" We have 3 decent games though, let us show you them.

[violentp]

You know, I would have enjoyed this so much more if Reggie just came out and said "Listen, you know we're doing good. I could tell you about it but instead, I'll make some pancakes".

[AgtFox]

they're showing off 4 Wii games I think...Star Wars: Clone Wars first

[Primitive Screwhead]

Star Wars Kid : The Game

[Kamalot]

I have no problems with Animal Crossing. It's a fun series, and my wife is obsessed with it.

Agreed. Animal Crossing is a lot of fun, and everyone else in my family (wife, daughter, parents) goes completely ga-ga for it. That's a great thing, since it gets them all buying / playing games. I enjoy playing games with my family too, so that's allright by me.

[We Are Venom]

Wow...they look umm happy....

[AgtFox]

a new Rayman game

[Dingobloo]

Star wars...again..

Hey look SNOWBOARDING in raving rabbids!

Call of Duty: World at War on every system under the sun.

Deafening Silence.

[EternalGamer]

If there is "no way they could give us a glimpse of everything on the way" then they should have just starting showing stuff and stopped with the braggadocio bullshit.

[AgtFox]

works with the balance board

[Telefrog]

Jesus. This presentation is painful. At least Microsoft's casual game section was fodder for gifs.

[violentp]

Are they gonna show the 1:1 device? I figure it's necessary for the Lightsaber game.

[AgtFox]

If there is "no way they could give us a glimpse of everything on the way" then they should ahve just starting showing shit and stopped with the braggadocio bullshit.
This is Nintendo...they do that every year...numbers, numbers, numbers

[TheDancinMan]

I think the guys in the Clone Wars video were put on barbiturates before filming.

[AgtFox]

chick laughing while Japanese and Germans are getting killed in Call of Duty: World at War

[We Are Venom]

He said they had over 200 games on the way, and they chose these 3? I should've slept in.

[EternalGamer]

These are the three games they are showing? Wow, all the third party stuff really is complete garbage.

[Primitive Screwhead]

MUSHROOMING! Get it? HA!

This is painful

[Mdot23]

Awkward silence.

[Flatpicker]

Are they gonna show the 1:1 device? I figure it's necessary for the Lightsaber game.
Nah. it's not a great admission that they have to retool the controller.

[AgtFox]

She just said their software stuff is half over...um, what's the other half you've only shown less than 10 minutes of games so far

[Norse]

Wii creativity is mushrooming? Did she really say that?

[bean19]

they had to drop the bar down to 400,000 to get 19 titles and make it look good.

Manufactured statistics like this are always a bad idea because people run stories about how deceptive the numbers are and then promote their competitor's success instead of just parroting the manufactured statistics.

Plus, WE DON'T CARE. Everyone knows the Wii is doing great except that the software library is shit and the online is shit. What we want to know is how they are improving these weaknesses. . . not how they are using business acumen to gain casual gamers. We've heard this song before.

YOU COULD HAVE SHOWN US MORE GAMES IF YOU WOULD HAVE SHUT YOUR STUPID ASS UP REGGIE!

[Xerxes]

Hmmmmm... I really wasn't feeling mom at first. But you know if you squint a little...

[IndependentGMR]

Third Party hits! Hhah

[EternalGamer]

"Wii Creativity"? Um, two of those games are sequels that look the same. The other is a Star Wars game.

[NationalKato]

Right after that lightsaber duel, those two guys proceeded to turn off the lights and commence another saber duel.

[We Are Venom]

At least Reggie is a good speaker, Microsofts new guy is shit.

[Primitive Screwhead]

Hmmmmm... I really wasn't feeling mom at first. But you know if you squint a little...

Yet again I opt for the 12 pack.

[Flatpicker]

I'll say it.
I'd hit it. I'm bored enough.

[Mdot23]

GH On Tour just fucking came out. A new one already?

[Dr.Finger]

GH: On Tour: Decades, song share between versions of the game over wifi.

[AgtFox]

Guitar Hero Decades coming to DS

[IndependentGMR]

YES!!! Activision is now milking GH on the DS!

[EternalGamer]

300,000 people bought that terrible DS Guitar Hero thing?

[Flatpicker]

I think the big winner of E3 08 is Guitar Hero/Activision.

[bean19]

1. Star Wars looks like it could be lots of fun. Need to play it.
2. Rayman looks like a ton of fun, but how is another party/puzzle game new?
3. That on-rails shooter CoD looks fun too, but again how is the new or creative? It's just a classic game on a system that can't even do it with HD.

[AgtFox]

Bean, let's keep the big letters to a minimum please...I understand what you're trying to do, but it makes things look all whacked out

[EternalGamer]

Wow. They are already making a NEW DS Guitar Hero game. FOUR MONTHS after the first one released.

[Dingobloo]

I Wouldn't be surprised if that was all their wii stuff, now the next half is DS.

[Savok]

The chick needs to flash her tits before I kill myself here.

[Talon-]

Guitar Hero for DS pisses me off something fierce.

Spore, on the other hand, I love!

[Xerxes]

I'll say it.
I'd hit it. I'm bored enough.

Hey, you might get a Wii board out of it. :rolleyes:

[AgtFox]

Oh my God...new Pokemon, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!

[NoName]

New Pokemon? Who could have seen that coming.

[violentp]

Nah. it's not a great admission that they have to retool the controller.

WiiMotion Plus (http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/eMMuRj_N6vntHPDycCJAKWhEO9zBvyPH)

[NationalKato]

If you received a DS in the last two years, either as a gift or by purchase, chances are you're a woman. I'm sorry to have to break that to you.

[EternalGamer]

Guitar Hero for DS pisses me off something fierce.



The game is getting a sequel four months after the first game was released. That has to be some type of milking record.

[Talon-]

GTA for DS? o_O

[Dingobloo]

GTA for DS HAHAHAH wow..what the?

[We Are Venom]

GTA the hell? Thats be.....fun?

[AgtFox]

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to DS this winter...some actual news!

[Norse]

GTA on DS? You got to be kidding

[Xerxes]

Wtf?! GTA, COD, Nintendo?!

[NoName]

haha, killing hookers, now portable!

[Wolvie]

Right after that lightsaber duel, those two guys proceeded to turn off the lights and commence another saber duel.

In the shower I bet. ;)

Seriously though, finally seeing a lightsaber game for the Wii was a welcome sight.

Also, HOLY SHIT! GTA on a Nintendo console??? I think hell just got a tad chilly.

[IndependentGMR]

Rayman looks like a little much...hold a nunchuk, remote, and sit/stand on a balance board? What next, the Wii bodysuit?

[violentp]

Bean, let's keep the big letters to a minimum please...I understand what you're trying to do, but it makes things look all whacked out

Thank you.

[EternalGamer]

Check out all that amazing original DS software!

[Primitive Screwhead]

Coming next Grand Theft Kart

[Flatpicker]

COD on rails.

[Talon-]

Some actual news: DS incorporation with daily functions. I'm a big fan.

[violentp]

In all fairness, GTA on the GBA was pretty good.

[We Are Venom]

....what in gods name is she talking about? It's being worked on oooh, thanks for the heads up -_-

[Rafer]

Rayman Raving Rabbids (Rayman missing, not even sure why Rayman is in the title anymore).

GTA DS?!

[TheDancinMan]

Why won't your DS tell you about your connecting flight, or the nearest Mexican restaurant?

Because it's a fucking handheld video game console.

[AgtFox]

Nintendo is looking into doing something with airports and the Seattle Mariners have something with the DS to order food at Safeco already

[Flatpicker]

I could use a GBA GPS actually.

[Xerxes]

Mom keeps making funny faces! O_o

[EternalGamer]

Hey lady, the stuff you are describing can be found ON THE INTERNET. We don't need DS software to do it.

[AgtFox]

back to Reggie

[IndependentGMR]

Why won't your DS tell you about your connecting flight, or the nearest Mexican restaurant?

Because it's a fucking handheld video game console.

Do you enjoy making me spit my coffee all over my computer monitor?

[violentp]

Wiimotion Plus

[We Are Venom]

I think having this GPS/PDA shit would work WORLDS better on the PSP.

[AgtFox]

the WiiMotion or whatever it is called

[bean19]

The DS games look fun, though I am not personally interested in Guitar Hero on the DS and I want the full version of Spore. Still, I can see how some people would enjoy these.

OOH NEW POKEMON!!!!! Okay, again, I'm sure there are people who will LOVE this, but just not to me. . .

Wait, she said it extends to the core as well. . . lol. They think I want to play a shitty DS version of GTA. OMG. rofl.

[Telefrog]

Wow. I am amazed at the complete lack of anything interesting to me.

[AgtFox]

sorry, forgot the Plus in there

[IndependentGMR]

Miyamoto better pull something sweet out of his ass.

[AgtFox]

Wow. I am amazed at the complete lack of anything interesting to me.
I'm not...the surprises usually come late in Nintendo pressers

[violentp]

WiiSports Resort. Oy.

[Primitive Screwhead]

Because it's a fucking handheld video game console.
HA!!!

and Yes lets get hot oil and raw chicken on my DS while it helps me cook..

[Dingobloo]

Wii Sports: beach volleyball edition. By Itagaki.

Ohh features wave-race!

[Wolvie]

A new Wii SPORTS! YES!!!

[AgtFox]

Wii Sports Resort...using the MotionPlus supposedly

[TheDancinMan]

Yes, it makes fun in the sun.

By yourself.

In your living room.

Alone.







Fatty.

[EternalGamer]

They keep using these terms like "fresh" and "original" by showing us things that are sequels and doing the same thing. Do they think they can just throw any adjective around they want and nobody will notice whether or not it is true?

[bean19]

Now the DS has all the features that I never wanted or use in my cellphone!

[AgtFox]

1 of the MotionPlus in each Wii Sports Resort game...so you need to buy 4...it's evil!

[NoName]

"Cutest game you've ever seen?"

This lady is a bit annoying...

[Mdot23]

Oh the cutest game we've ever seen, huh?

[IndependentGMR]

Disc Dog??! My dreams have come true. haha!

[We Are Venom]

"Wrpping my dainty little fingers around the wiimote for the first time was sooo magical!"

[bean19]

I'm not...the surprises usually come late in Nintendo pressers

God, I hope so.

[EternalGamer]

Hey, Iwata, what was that you said last year about Wii Sports being a unique title that doesn't need a sequel?

[Dr.Finger]

Yay, Nintendo gives you the opportunity to be gouged on more accessories

[IndependentGMR]

"bad wrist action."

[Talon-]

Damn, this woman is unbearable.

Wii Sports Resort, though. BRING IT ON HOME!

[AgtFox]

throwing frisbee with a dog.

[AgtFox]

Waveracing

[Rafer]

The motion does look 1:1... finally.

[Yellowman]

They keep using these terms like "fresh" and "original" by showing us things that are sequels and doing the same thing. Do they think they can just throw any adjective around they want and nobody will notice whether or not it is true?

You talk this shit but I bet you have screaming nerdgasms about all the 'innovation' in Final Fantasy 13.

[violentp]

I wish I had kids, they'd love this.

[EternalGamer]

Wow, you can play electronic frisbeew with a fake dog. Or, you could go outside and use a REAL FRISBEE with a REAL DOG.

[AgtFox]

Damn, this woman is unbearable.

Wii Sports Resort, though. BRING IT ON HOME!
She must be in marketing...in fact I think she is as a Vice President or something

[Flatpicker]

So the Wii will be how much? 300.00 to make it 1:1?

[Mdot23]

"bad wrist action."

Hah, yea. "I can do it myself!"

[Exodus]

Wii Motion Plus. We figured out how to make the controllers performance match the price tag you paid for them but we'll charge you extra because you're absolutely fucking ecstatic about everything we do....

Do these people even listen to themselves fucking talk? Jesus I'd hack my own head off.

Sword swinging.

All the fun of playing fetch with your dog except that your actual dog remains lonely and unloved in the backyard. Awesome.

[AgtFox]

that's why they call him the Regginator!

[Primitive Screwhead]

The Reginator?

But yet I'm still watching...like a horrible train wreck...

You talk this shit but I bet you have screaming nerdgasms about all the 'innovation' in Final Fantasy 13.

If FF13 is like the previous games (which had substantial differences) then it would have more originality than any of these titles. But even having said that, I would never use the term "fresh" or "original" to describe the series at this point.

[Wolvie]

Kendo stick fighting, YAY!

[Flatpicker]

New standard?

Wave race looks awesome, and the sword fighting looks a hell of a lot better than boxing.

[IndependentGMR]

the sword fighting looks fun.

[Grifter]

I just want one good complete boxing game, bowling game, baseball game and golf game.

[AgtFox]

Some drumming via Wii remote coming this year...Guitar Hero? Rock Band? Rock Revolution?

[NoName]

Awww, just a music game.

[Talon-]

....What the Fuck is this shit?

[bean19]

So many kids are going to whack each other with Wii-motes while playing sword "dueling".
