Nintendo Press conference impressions

Still no Star Fox, Nintendo? ;_____;

I'll be looking forward to Galaxy 2, especially with Yoshi.
It's too bad it couldn't have been a more original concept, but oh well.

I still don't understand what New Super Mario Bros. Wii is. Can anyone explain?

Metroid: Other M looks promising.
I'm not really a fan of Metroid games, but I might like this. D:

Galaxy is one of my favorite Nintendo games. Can't wait for the next one.
Metroid looks pretty good too ;D

I honestly wasn't expecting anything to "Wow" me. I had really low expectations for Nintendo, and besides two games, they actually managed to piss me off a bit.

New Super Mario bros for the Wii? I already bought that poop for the DS. It looks kinda fun, but I more than likely won't buy it.

Woman's Murder Club: Games of Passion? The hell is this? It sound like you need to light some candles and drink a glass of wine while playing.

The shopping game was beautiful. Teach little girls that all that counts is how you look, and how to use Daddy's credit card.

...Man, they really know how to push my buttons. Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Metroid looks awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

Hmm, I liked it. Could be better, but I liked a lot of what they had to show. Clearly better than last year's, of course.

Gwen Khan · June 02, 2009, 02:26:44 PM

I missed it, but as I heard a Golden Sun DS is coming that's enough for me to be happy

Vitality is actually my favorite E3 announcement so far. While I am sure nothing will come of it, it does, like mentioned, have extreme potential. Imagine the uses in something like RE4. Or what about Trauma Center as a surgeon, measuring your own heart rate as the game picks up and surgeries become more challenging (and crucial). Or imagine control of your weapon in Red Steel 2 becoming harder to do as your heart rate picks up. What about a "Crank" like game where failing to keep your heart rate up does damage? Tons of potential.

On the other hand, Nintendo also has the most disappointing item for me. Mario Galaxy 2 seems exactly the same. But with Yoshi. Good job Nintendo. I don't see why Mario would even consider returning to space for yet another adventure with no in between. But that's just me.

Also, intercourse yeah Metroid and GS.

Finally, someone who understands the potential of Vitality.

*Raises hand as well*

Heck, every single Nintendo item is interesting.

Honestly, there is no way to please you when it concerns gaming.

I like Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, FFXIII, New Shadow of Colossus (sorta XD ), God of War 3, and quite a few other things for the PS3. (hooray motion controller that looks like it actually works for actual games)

I just fail to see the use for what is essentially just a pulse monitor. And no, even if it did have something to do with survival horror games, it's still a useless invention and Nintendo should spend more time making sure their other stuff works and is useful to games before they try other stuff.

SkyMyl · June 02, 2009, 07:25:33 PM

Woah, did Nayr actually say he like Super Mario Galaxy 2? Sounds like I lost another bet.

And Vitality is not just limited to Survival Horror games. That's just off the top of the head. Remember, we know little to nothing about it. Until we actually get a prototype and a demonstration of sorts...

Tupin · June 02, 2009, 07:32:57 PM

My only problem is that putting one of those things on your finger hurts if you use it for an extended period.

I like Galaxy more than Sunshine. The only thing I hated was that it was too intercourse ing easy. Galaxy 2 looks like a lot of neat ideas using the same interface Galaxy 1 did.

*looks at Wii Zapper, Wii Board, and other dumb Wii attatchments* Yea, because previous experience was SO good before with the other peripherals. Again, I see no practical use, and Nintendo was frankly stupid for showing it without any gameplay (or even tech demos) to show what it could possibly be used for.

I'm excited about Metroid Other M very much as well. I know it doesn't look like a traditional Metroid game, but this looks much more story driven, thus necessitating the gameplay changes. Not to mention the Ninja Gaiden dudes are making it, so it'll actually be challenging. (hooray!)

Sony had the best showing in my opinion. A steady stream of quality titles that I'm interested in. Wii still has nothing this year. I mean yea, New Mario Bros. Wii looks nice (but it's no where near worth full retail price), but honestly, it looks like it should be a DS game instead of a Wii game. I still have nothing to play in the forseeable future for the DS outside of Mario and Luigi 3. Golden Sun I'm totally psyched for, but since all we got was a twenty second shot of nothing and no actual name for the game (Golden Sun DS will not be the name, dur), I assume it's going to be a while.

Qsmash · June 02, 2009, 07:46:23 PM

Super Mario Galaxy 2: Looks like more of the same, but Yoshis are in it!^_^
Metroid: Other M: WOW! A metroid game where Samus doesn't appear to be the only human? It looks amazing! Weeeeeeeeee...2010.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii: This won it. Plus Yoshis! ^_^

Golden Sun DS: If it's DSi only, I will cry. ;-;

meh everything else, and Red Steel 2 looks cool too.
