Nintendo E3'07 Keynote Talkback

[applekid]

The keynote is underway with Reggie.

Post your remarks here!

[srobert]

"Lightgun" is back!

[Ja Di ksw]

Dude, that Wii Zapper is awesome! Holy hell, I am buying that the second it comes out!

Edit SMASH ON DEC 3RD!

Edit 2: Wait, is there no online for Smash?! They talked about online for other games like MARIO KART (hahahahahahahaha! So happy) and Madden, but what about Smash?

[Sky Blue]

uh oh, Iwata's out to talk about non-games.

[SamIchi]

I could only get the stream at kotaku, although it's a bad angle.

[Sky Blue]

The G4 feed is awesome.

[srobert]

For a second there, I almost thought Reggie was finally going to announce an "XBox Live" like online community service for Wii. *sigh* Oh well, Friend Codes for Mario Kart Wii? :o

[applekid]

I'm happy about the Smash Bros. release date and Mario Kart announcement, but this keynote is seeming like a snooze fest, too.

I'm hoping the Wii Zapper and racing wheel are not like those silly plastic add-ons that the third parties have been selling. Considering the Wii Remote has that port for expansion, they should've just made new controllers that hook up through the port.

E3 looks like it's lost it's excitement after getting shrunk the way it did. Here's to hoping Sony gives us a kick ass Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer.

[Sky Blue]

For a second there, I thought I was going to fall asleep.


bumblebee mario, woooooooo

november 12th!

What was the release date for Smash? I missed it. I think they said Nov 12th for Galaxies.

[Sky Blue]

December 3rd for Smash.


Stop with the non-games!

[applekid]

What was the release date for Smash? I missed it. I think they said Nov 12th for Galaxies.

December 3.

I guess Reggie is just stalling on purpose. The Mario Galaxies release date was definitely a surprise to me. Maybe the announcements won't be too bad :D

[Sky Blue]

Wow, Wii Fit looks great.

[SamIchi]

Wow, Wii Fit looks great.

Damn I wish I had a good stream, the one i'm watching is like a minute lag on the video, but I can hear everything live.

None of them are working for me.

[applekid]

If you have Flip4Mac, the Gamespot one work quite nicely.

Pretty lackluster, in my opinion. E3 has really lost its touch.

Wii Fit looks good. But the exercises don't really seem that intense. Maybe the should've gotten some fitness guru to help out with making it like they had that doctor for Brain Age.

[srobert]

It's over.

Long story short:

• New zapper add-on (Suggested retail price $19.99)
• Nintendo satisfied with their online offering
• Mario Kart Wii Online (Steering will add-on included)
• Wii Fit (I kinda like the idea)
• Buncha release dates

So far Microsoft's and Nintendo's keynotes were pretty uneventful. Let's see what Sony has in store.

[BoyBach]

Wow, Wii Fit looks great.


Competitive Wii aerobic sessions! Too cool!

Woot!

:cool:

[Eric Lewis]

that sucked..end of story....

once again..when is the release for galaxy? wait we dont know!

[Eric Lewis]

It's over.

Long story short:

• New zapper accessory
• MArio Kart Wii Online
• Wii Fit
• Buncha dates

WHAT DATES OTHER THEN BRAWL DEC.3?

[Sky Blue]

once again..when is the release for galaxy? wait we dont know!

November 12th, pay attention!

[Coded-Dude]

meh, nothing really exciting in that Press Conference.......some good news on the game dates, but thats about it.

0-2 thus far regarding E3 hype, maybe Sony can chock us with something.

[Ja Di ksw]

Brain Age didn't benefit that much from the doctor. Honestly, almost all of Brain Age is just traditional cognitive tests put into a "game" setting. Wii Fit uses what's known as a force plate, though I'm assuming a very low level one. A good force plate will cost you thousands :). Still, some of it looks fun.

What made me happy during the Keynote:
Mario Galaxy! (Nov 12th, right?)
Mario Kart Wii! And it's online!
The Zapper!
Zelda: PH looks amazing!

What was mediocre:
Wii Fit. This will be good for a lot of people out there, but considering how much I already do to stay in shape, and that it uses a very toned down piece of hardware that I have in my lab, I'm not horrible impressed. At least not yet.

What was bad:
Smash isn't going to be online??? I don't know if this is true, but I didn't hear anything about smash being online, and they were talking about lots of others that were going to be, makes me think it won't. Can someone confirm this either way??

[Eric Lewis]

[Coded-Dude]

not exactly sure, they have stated it would be available, but no instructions yet.

Try the PSN Store, it has the NEW E3 link at the top, otherwise you may have to visit one of the above links with your PS3 browser to stream. I am not at home(yet), so I cannot confirm nor deny whether or not they are actually streaming to PS3(via PSN Store)

Sony starts in EVERY TIME......starts at 11:30 Pacific Time. :confused:

I used G4 for Nintendo and it was good.

Wow...Advance Wars 2(as in Advance Wars DS 2?) And Mario Party DS?


Thats news to me...also your link isn't working for me.

[Sky Blue]

Wow...Advance Wars 2(as in Advance Wars DS 2?) And Mario Party DS?

Fixed.

News to me too. If Mario party is online, then yay.

Supposedly, Golden Sun DS is being shown at E3 too.

[sarcosis]

I have to say i'm surprised that people are disappointed. This is the new "Improved" E3. From what I can seen it's disappointing compared to last year. You have to remember there was all of this buzz with new systems last year, and this year they are all here. Buzz is gone, we only got titles so naturally the buzz is going to be down this year. People are just learning these systems. Next year will be better followed by the year after that. But that's by the new E3 standards, which is... Yeah.... that's all i got to say about that. Thankfully, there is E for All!

[Dagless]

Just got back from the cinema and read up the quick news on Joystiq.

SO! Smash Bros and Mario Galaxy this year. I should be hearing the sound of eating hats... Mario Kart in Q1 2008. I still think that's too soon. I hope it's not rushed and another quality MK title.

Not bothered about light gun games unless it's Duck Hunt.


I'm sure I've missed some details. But woo!

[Dagless]

Supposedly, Golden Sun DS is being shown at E3 too.

If so I will cry. This had better be true now :D

Brawl in 2008? Grr. Prime, BWii Galaxy this year? WOO!

[2nyRiggz]

Yawn....better than MS though. I thought Reggie was going to explode on the "online" thing but once again we are in the dark.

MP is looking so good I can't wait for it. Mario is awesome...another must have.

I love how Nintendo is making so many controls....zapper, wheel..it beautiful.

I love brain age and the likes as much as the next man but damn more games! I'm surprised they didn't announce "Super Trace The Lines 2007 Pro" wii and ds editions.

Mario in a Bee Suit LOL! Almost as cool as the Tanooki suit.

So was there a date announce for MP3? Galaxies and Brawl, is what I mostly care about but MP3 this year would also be awesome.

[iLunar]

Wow, those Mario Galaxy shots look amazing. It looks so much more developed than the last time we saw it. I can't wait till November 12th!

[zero2dash]

By and large I'd say Galaxy is the best looking Wii title so far.
Very colorful and polished looking. Then again I wouldn't expect anything less from Nintendo. ;)

[Dagless]

That's what I've missed since Mario World - suits. And to a lesser degree the cape and stuff in M64. This is great. I think I'm more excited for Galaxy than Brawl now :eek:

Which is just as well! 2008...

Works for me. Downloading.

So what, this game has 3 health points (compared to Mario 64's 9 or so). I hope they don't artificially make the game harder by just reducing the health. Still. OMG Mario Galaxy!

Maybe you can obtain more health points as you progress. If not, I don't think 3 is that bad. I thought the M64 had too much health anyways.

Seems more like a scale to me, no buttons.
Just sensors that sense weight and shifting weight/leaning to one side.

And That's not counting third parties.

It would have to be pretty solid to support somebody running on that thing. I can see it more being used for skateboarding/snowboarding games.

[Antares]

Despite a sucky conference Nintendo has a really great holiday line up of games.

Indeed. That is a great lineup.

It would have to be pretty solid to support somebody running on that thing. I can see it more being used for skateboarding/snowboarding games.

It could end up in very limited use... ala the Donkey Kong bongos. But I would love it if that thing gets wider support. I could imagine it adding a lot more immersion to games (Especially when used in conjunction with the Wii Remote motions).

[zap2]

why isn't advance wars 2 on USA release plan?


I'll important it

[rockthecasbah]

I can't wait for Galaxy and Mario Kart!!!! Brawl should be fun, but these games are just eating at my mind right now, especially with the wii wheel for Mario Kart and confirmed online play! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

:)

[GFLPraxis]

Very impressed here; Nintendo did not announce a lot of games, admittedly, but Mario Kart, the fact that ALL previously announced games are actually coming out in 2007 and not next year, and Wii Fit and massive amounts of third party support (100 Wii 140 DS games) made up for it.

Seriously here. People yawning about Wii Fit are idiots. I did too at first, then I tried the thing. It's incredibly accurate; I was sweating after playing Hula Hoops. I did the skiing game and my muscle movements and weight shifts in my feet controlled the turning.

It was really, really good. I want to see a Tony Hawk game using the Balance Board.

Yawn....better than MS though. I thought Reggie was going to explode on the "online" thing but once again we are in the dark.




Wow. You of all people. Reggie was practically TALKING TO YOU. He said he's seen people complaining about Nintendo not taking online seriously, and asking when they would. He said, "What if we had and you didn't know?" Then he started showing off a series of third party online games.

Third. Party. Online.

You just put up an entire thread complaining about how Nintendo wasn't giving out third party online dev kits and they've just been doing it in secret. He listed off like five or six third party online games including Guitar Hero III which is coming out in like 2-3 months and Madden 08.

Wii Fit is mine for sure. It looks absolutely fantastic - they are going to sell a gazillion of these. I'd also lay money on seeing them equipped in many, many hospitals as a rehabilitation/physiotherapy device. Skiing/snowboarding and skateboarding games = awesome.

From that BMI graph it looks like they've taken some cues of the functionality like the Nike+ ipod. Did they have the ability to set goals and compete online against other people - i.e. X number of pushups per month etc? I should probably read some more about it.....

[BoyBach]

Wii Fit is mine for sure.


Absolutely!

Yoga and aerobics being monitored and recorded. (Hopefully challenges and the like, plus an online league table to compare with your friends and family - please Nintendo, please.)

Ladies and gentleman we have Nintendo's next multi-million seller.

[MacRumorUser]

Wii Fit sounds great. I know people who will be happy, the main reason they bought the wii & wii sports was for some easy excerise, so this will be ideal.


However just wondering......


Nov 12 - Mario Galaxy
Dec 3 - Smash Bros


Are these USA release dates.... I'd be concerned that Europe may be left waiting yet again. After all we dont even have Super Paper Mario until the end of September.... :(:(

My prophecy of no Mario Galaxy till 2008 could still come true for Europe.

As a fellow PAL I think we'll be OK. Nintendo will be trying to hit up chrissy big time, and there's no better way than a big title like Mario Galaxy (or smash bros) to appeal. We can't be left in the cold this time!

The Vision Training game isn't too bad but gets boring after about a week.

I caught that earlier (if it's the same walkthrough vid). I hope it's an insanely massive game, looks like it's quite non-linear.

I had an idea a while ago, where if a player did well on a level they would ascend up to a harder level. But that requires so many levels, though does open up a lot of replayability. I'd love to see that in action in a well designed game like Mario Galaxy.

edit: okay. I just caught the Mario Kart Wii announcement video. Online battle mode. oh. yes. That is all MKDS was missing.

[Sky Blue]

Wow. You of all people. Reggie was practically TALKING TO YOU. He said he's seen people complaining about Nintendo not taking online seriously, and asking when they would. He said, "What if we had and you didn't know?" Then he started showing off a series of third party online games.

Third. Party. Online.

You just put up an entire thread complaining about how Nintendo wasn't giving out third party online dev kits and they've just been doing it in secret. He listed off like five or six third party online games including Guitar Hero III which is coming out in like 2-3 months and Madden 08.

b-b-but the SNK man said there would be no online third party games this year, so Reggie is a LIAR.

DUDE NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

WHY DID YOU SHOW ME THAT!

Now i cant stand this. I NEED THE GAME!

[MacRumorUser]

missed Sky Blues post? For Europe -

To sum it all up - everything this year. 'Cept Wii Fitness, Mario Kart and Brawl.

Q4 is that Fiscal Quarter or Calender Year ? Remember if it's Fiscal Quarter it could be up-to March 2008.

I'm still not going to get my hopes up.




And no Wii Fitness to 2008 ? OMG..... That sucks major ASS!!!

That means people who have been waiting for another Wii Sports style game have had to wait upto 18 months between titles. That's a pile of crap. Nintendo want to appeal to non-gamers and came out of the starting grid racing with Wii Sports and yet now where are we ? 2008 is an utter joke.

For casual/non gamers it seems the Wii = The new sandwich toaster
Everyone has one, but the majority are in the cupboard doing sweet FA.

Nintendo and non / casual gaming audience is the biggest joke in history. The only people who think that kind of time frame between titles is exceptable is Nintendo fanboys, and I'm sorry but your not the audience they were meant to appeal to.

No online play in SSBB? Or did they just not say either way? I'll be so sad if no online. :(

I'm pretty sure its been confirmed to have online, they just aren't talking about it yet.

[applekid]

Just because Reggie didn't mention it, I don't think it means online play for Brawl is nonexistent.

It sounds like Nintendo wants to do an event before the release of Brawl, so we will probably hear a lot more about the game then. There's plenty of time between now and December.

[zero2dash]

They haven't said either way about online in Smash Brothers.
I think they only title they mentioned online about was Mario Kart.

[bobber205]

That's what I keep hearing but I have yet to read it anywhere credible.

Dude. I dont see how anyone is worried if there is online in Brawl. Do you think with Nintendo making Madden, Fifa, and other 3rd party games online that they will drop one of the biggest titles that has absolute need for online?

Metroid dropped it because Metroid is not an online kind of game. Brawl will defenetly have it. No doubt at all.

Well it's kind of different for a fighter, especially one like Smash. The simplest delay will greatly affect the gameplay. I think Nintendo does want to add the online otion, but due to contraints, they are keeping it underwraps until they are sure of the online abilities.

But I would agree online play for Smash would be absolutely amazing. Competion would be awesome.

[Dagless]

Mario Football plays a lot faster than Smash Bros Melee. So long as you play someone with 3 stars+, there won't be a problem. Theres a lot of data being sent across too (10 characters, ball, items).

I hope you're right but I still think a fighting game where constant hits are critical makes or breaks a game would really suck. In a racing or sport game, it's more.... bearable, I guess that's what I'm trying to get at.

Anyone see the new developer video for Galaxies? Looks awesome.

[2nyRiggz]

I just can't jump on the wiifit bandwagon...I thought I would be interested in it but its "meh"..but I guess I have to play it right praxis

After looking at the wheel a little bit more closely...will it come with a base or will it just be the wheel?...thats gonna hurt after a while.

Just asking...don't go all murderous fanboy on me.

*Praxis...you are at E3 right...is any of the wii titles there online enabled? Are they giving ya'll a sneak peek at the online flavor?


Bless

[pcypert]

Galaxies looks cool to me, but not really revolutionary...I mean kind of, but more of a refinement of the 3d Marios to me. Maybe it'll surprise me more, but seems like run and find stars and different ways to completion same as Mario 64...

I'm more and more doubting Smash will be online as well. Disappointing. Highly.

Not true! You can play with/against the computer.

[BoyBach]

My prediction:

Smash Bros is online enabled, but Nintendo are keeping quiet about the feature until the 'Grand Unveiling' just before it's launch date.

They are simply going to drip feed news, and use the expectations to their advantage, a la Apple.

(...he types confidently...)

[GFLPraxis]

Brawl is online. Are you joking?
Metroid Prime 3 was never announced online, they just came out and finally told people it wasn't to stop the speculation. Smash Bros HAS been announced online. Further, Super Mario Strikers Charged is online and it comes out before.

[GFLPraxis]

*Praxis...you are at E3 right...is any of the wii titles there online enabled? Are they giving ya'll a sneak peek at the online flavor?

They've got online Wii titles like Mario Strikers Charged, but I don't know if the online modes are playable.

Probably beter to ask the Europeans here, they're already playing it.

[Sky Blue]

Brawl is online.

Says who? Sakurai has mentioned he doesn't know if it would work (and by online I don't mean DLC or sharing levels, but online matches).

[bobber205]

I would be happy with random matchup system and a "invite a friend". I don't even have to have tournaments and leaderboards. Just online competition. I especially want to play with my fellow MR members. But be prepared as you will as be utterly owned by my mad skills as Dr. Mario and Shiek this winter.


Seriously. Start practicing now! :D

[michaelltd]

But be prepared as you will as be utterly owned by my mad skills as Dr. Mario and Shiek this winter.

Assuming they are still in it.

I'm getting the feeling that Shiek may not be in it (despite the fact Zelda is). I think Zero Suit Samus is now the new Shiek, judging by the moves I've seen her do.

[bobber205]

Shiek was a very popular character. I doubt she won't be in it. ;) When they do a "Zelda" update on the blog, I'm sure it'll show her fully.
Dr. Mario being in it should be a given. I think they said the only characters to not be in it were Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, and Young Link.

[Sky Blue]

I would be suprised if Dr Mario and Sheik were in it. I've never known anyone to play as either character.

[BoyBach]

Again, where did you read this?


The key words were: "My prediction."

I other words it's total guess work ( :p ), but I am quietly confident that the game will be online enabled.

[GFLPraxis]

What are you talking about? Nintendo said it would be online at E3 2005 when they announced it was in development. They repeated it at E3 2006. They said it AGAIN a few months ago. NOBODY has said it was not online. The worst thing I've heard is Sakurai saying that online play might be limited (no tournaments or stat tracking), but that was an early comment.

I think I saw an interview with Reggie and was asked. He said no comment... O don't remember a confirmation. If they did say that in 2005, I'm sure that has changed since then, otherwise they would of made note of it like they did with Mario Kart, and that's not even coming out this year.

Really? :eek:

I pwn as them. Dr. Mario is my tournament character (I have won several using him). Hmm. Weird. Around here they're very popular. Lol. :p

I've seen 3 confirmations, one in 2005 (the Smash Bros announcement said it would be the big game to take the Revolution online, Iwata said it on stage), one in 2006 (TGS was it? or E3?) and one web page post.

[takao]

damn final exams didn't really get to follow it like i wanted:

wii fit: looks intresting but if it can have a huge impact depends on the reception and the amount of stuff which can be done with the board
for other games like skateboarding or snowboarding/ surfing it seems obvious but we have to wait what they can make out of it

mii showing of channel: quite a basic thing.. a DS demo channel would have been much nicer

mario kart wii online: mario kart DS led to a DS sales explosion, and the same can happen with the wii

lack of game trailers shown at presser but instead showing them afterwards: can you please do away with that ? it's seriously annoying


side note: dragon quest swords just launched in japan with 200k on the first day and on the way of selling out of it's planned 350k stock, so you can bet on it that TGS will bring some square enix announcments for the wii

Care to give a link then? The official web site doesn't mention it, the wikipedia article doesn't link to anything and GAf knows nothing of any announcement. I'd love to see it. The fact that Nintendo used part of their conference to outline online games and included games out next year is a pretty good indication.

Anyway, talking of misinterpreting statements from Nintendo:

Alright...thats seems a bit unneeded....since last word from Nintendo is, it will have online.


And since Pokémon and Striker Charged have it now....seems pointless not to add it. Also Madden and Fifa '08 will have it, before Brawl is released.

[atszyman]

Care to give a link then?

Here's one (http://wii.ign.com/articles/707/707504p1.html)

Even better, the game will be fully online playable in addition to featuring a robust multiplayer mode. "My plan is to include Wi-Fi connection compatibility and online functionality. One of the primary reasons Super Smash Bros. Brawl was created was that Nintendo, when taking Wii online, wanted to have Smash Bros. to do that," added Sakurai.

And another (http://www.nwiizone.com/nintendo-wii/nwii/smash-bros-brawl-confirmed-online/)

July 3, 2007 - Nintendo of America said on Monday that its hotly anticipated new Wii fighter, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, will not be playable at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2007. According to representatives for the subsidiary contacted by IGN, Nintendo has chosen not to display the game in playable form because it has a wealth of other products to show, including some surprises. This, however, does not mean that a formally playable Brawl will not be unveiled in the near future - perhaps shortly after E3 - at a separate event.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl was originally set to release at Wii launch, but was delayed to 2007 in order to give the team working on it more development time. The game features a huge cast of mascot fighters, a great many recognizable background stages and more musical compositions from famous videogame composers than any other videogame in existence. In addition, gamers will be able to choose their favorite fighter and battle online against friends.

Why does everything have to be "revolutionary"? I'm so sick of that term on tech boards. Its such a lame argument to knock something for "not being revolutionary".
