Melbu Frahma Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 The WiiParty was a huge flop, I thought. Especially to me, seeing as my first thought when they were playing the demo was, "Hey, that looks like Mario Party except with Wiis!" Aside from that, though, a very strong showing. Sony'll have to really come out with some surprises to come close to matching it.
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Can't access that streaming page Reggie mentioned.
Dark Chocobo Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Can't access that streaming page Reggie mentioned. Refresh. It took me a few times. Not much going on, just some Iwata Asks about Zelda and the 3DS.
42 Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Here's a list of developers and games for the 3DS, according to the screens they showed at the event. Also Splinter Cell too.
liquid wind Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 zelda looked pretty disappointing but HOLY SHIT DKC4 haven't been this hyped for a game since metroid prime, about time nintendo took this franchise out of the gutter epic mickey and kirby yarn also look good, I love yarn's art style
Overflow Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 They should know by now that presentations never go well, for anyone, lol. Man, I feel sorry for all those M$ and Sony reps. M$ is hanging it's head in shame, and Sony is sucking it's thumb in the corner. Pics of Zelda: http://media.wii.ign.com/media/872/872155/imgs_1.html
ocre Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 NEW Paper Mario Snake Eater 3D : The Naked Sample I'm BORN AGAIN Nintendo.
ambinate Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 i missed a bunch of the other stuff but zelda didn't impress me too much. motion controls look fun but it doesn't look like they've changed much beyond that, which is a bit disappointing. goldeneye looks...alright? i'll probably be accused of being a graphics whore for saying this but it's not up to the visual standard i expect from shooters these days. obviously the wii doesn't have the same visual capabilities as the 360 or ps3, but if they're going for the "realistic" visual style then they're going to have to suffer some comparisons to other modern shooters. i'm sure it'll play really well. goldeneye rules. it just looks a little like butt.
The Damned Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 NEW Paper MarioSnake Eater 3D : The Naked Sample I was all "LINKS OR GTFO" until I looked up the titles. Yeah, those are real games now.
JH Sounds Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 The Naked Sample That title probably makes sense in the context of the game, but I lolled just the same.
The Author Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Ok, what's the power in that freaking 3DS. The graphics are well above the level of N64 graphics, its amazing.
SirChadlyOC Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Wow this reminds me of the time when the Great Depression happened... You're old. I love you.
Bleck Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I am paralyzed with excitement for everything that happened
ocre Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Ok, what's the power in that freaking 3DS. The graphics are well above the level of N64 graphics, its amazing. It obviously runs on the Smile power that Nintendo has accumulated from the Wii and DS so far. (Money)
The Damned Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 OK, some of those just look like other games pasted onto a frame. I'd have to see videos or something.
JCvgluvr Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 In general, my mind is completely blown. Outta the park, and in another freaking dimension! Specifically: 3DS: Looks nice, sleek, and seems to be doing everything right, straight outta the gate. I like how you can turn off the 3D, that should make the complaints of headaches stop. Zelda SS: Looks pretty good, but I'm slightly disappointed (and I don't have a good reason to back that up). Kid Icarus Uprising: It's impressive, but I don't have much hype for that franchise, old games or new. Kirby Epic Yarn: Oh my fricking goodness, what a disappointment. What does Kirby need a whip for? What was wrong with...sucking up enemies? Why are his abilities limited to freaking vehicles? What is this sickeningly-cutesy art style? I feel like I just gulped down a cup full of cake frosting. No, no, no...all wrong. DKC Returns: ...Okay Nintendo, I forgive you for that Kirby fiasco. *dries tears*
Calpis Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Kirby Epic Yarn: Oh my fricking goodness, what a disappointment. What does Kirby need a whip for? What was wrong with...sucking up enemies? Why are his abilities limited to freaking vehicles? What is this sickeningly-cutesy art style? I feel like I just gulped down a cup full of cake frosting. No, no, no...all wrong. I feel the exact opposite. I love everything they did with the new Kirby game. Frankly, I was getting sick of the old "suck up enemies and spit them out or use their ability" strategy. It definitely works for the old games but it's making the franchise stale, IMO.
Chernabogue Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 KH and DKC made my day. Oh and Metroid, Zelda, ...
BlackPanther Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Wait you want to call kirby sucking up people stale when Nintendo has been recycling ideas over and over for I don't know how long? I don't have a problem with it but what you just said is very hypocritical. They should not have messed with Kirby's trademark abilities in my opinion that's what I love about him. It's whatever I guess, I'm still gonna play it when this comes out and I get my wii fixed.
OceansAndrew Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Kirby Epic Yarn: Oh my fricking goodness, what a disappointment. What does Kirby need a whip for? What was wrong with...sucking up enemies? Why are his abilities limited to freaking vehicles? What is this sickeningly-cutesy art style? I feel like I just gulped down a cup full of cake frosting. No, no, no...all wrong. I think actually the entire point of the Kirby series to be cute. Not wrong at all.
Sir_Snooze Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I think actually the entire point of the Kirby series to be cute.Not wrong at all. Seconding that. Not only is this cute (name an ugly, 'serious' Kirby game - I dare you), it's also unique and, bluntly, looks like a ton of fun. Kirby isn't meant to be hard-core - I mean, even Crystal Shards is readily cleared in a few hours. They're fun little platformers, and that's what this looks like it's going to be. So, I'm totally stoked. The only thing that hurt was no Tales of Graces announcement - I'm sitting on tenterhooks for it - but what I got was awesome. These all look like 'to the roots' sorts of games - a third-person Metroid, a new DKC, Kirby, Goldeneye...it's awesome-looking. And to tie to that hard-core nostalgia...the 3DS. Wowzers. I'm sold (and I never do this) off the bat if it's DS-backwards compatible. The turning-off 3D thing was a nice touch. And Golden Sun. Oh, man...so awesome.
