Nintendo E3 Conference: Done & Dusted

[Deeptone]

What are the chances they might be showing off Animal Crossing Wii?

I doubt they'll bother, to be honest. Nobody really cares about it.

[barkbat]

I'm getting EXCITED! Very EXCITED!

Hands where we can see them, please.

[Zathras]

The point is though that the new peripheral seems to block the nunchuk, thus making traditional games like Zelda impossible?

I'm dreaming for a new Zelda with true motion controls with the new peripheral!

It looks like it has a pass-through connection.

If you look carefully, there is still a slot for the nunchuk to attach on to after the peripheral is added to the controller. There is even a space for it when the condom is put on:

YES! TELL ME MORE!

[DarhkFox]

Or Activision knowing that the ds lite is gonna lose its gba slot, quickly release guitar hero to get as many sales as they can. Would explain the shitty presentation.

[Jack]

We'll all be saying 'I'm fucking getting one' in an hour. Whatever 'it' is.

Also: I don't think Square Enix could possibly handle the wave of attacks against them that would be perpetuated by Dandy Sephy and his ilk if they hit them with the double whammy of FFXIII on 360 and FFVII remake on Wii.

I'd cope (I do have all 3 machines you know), you don't see me whining about it. I don't think it's much of a leap to suggest a VII remake could be a bigger title then XIII, and the ps3 is the most likely machine to do it justice. Simple logic

I don't think it does. I'm sure I saw a pass-through on the back, under some sort of flap.

EDIT: Too. Slow.

And now "Wii camping" sounds amaze cos you can take a trip, fight the elements, put up your tent, fish, and fight bears. IN CO-OP.

Co-op camping. Ahhh yeah.

You know that Monster Hunter is surpisingly like the game you just thought up. And the third ones coming to the Wii. Say something about it Nintendo/Capcom - I'm right looking forward to it.

Apparently all the journos have interviews already booked with the director of Animal Crossing. So it's pretty much certain.

[neoELITE]

Animal Crossing Wii - they'll use the DS as a peripheral for voice chat, shopping lists and some kind of mini-game you can take out and about - design your own furniture and accesories (for sale in your own store - no more Tom Nook - your Mii is the shop owner).

Ears for Mii's - I want ears.

Wii Sports 2.

A new DS - wider screen, connectivity with the net without additional software.

An external flash drive.

Metroid 1 & 2 remake - or Wiimake - with the Metroid 3 controls.

Reggie's annoucing a price drop to £99?

[Zathras]

Sigourney?

[Jack]

The droning noise on the IGN Live Wire stream is infinitely better than when they were playing Kaiser Chiefs last time.

[NEG]

Last minute predictions:

Reggie gets on stage.

Eats a bowl of Frosties.

"They're GGRRRRRRRREEEEEEAT!"

Reggie walks off stage.

[Zathras]

That's traditional though - like carols at christmas.

[Sigourney Beaver]

Sigourney?

Hang on. You almost got me there.

You won't find me asking a question in this thread!

[Comrade]

The IGN feed is currently about three minutes behind according to the little clock at the bottom.

[JPickford]

Reggie's annoucing a price drop to £99?

There's more chance of a price increase.

[R0b]

I think perhaps, just perhaps, they'll have been working on a new online system/software.

[:mediadavid:]

FIVE MINUTES!!!!1!!!!

[Sigourney Beaver]

Hard drive!

[Deeptone]

But what time will the forum come crashing down around us?

[anewman]

I hope they announce some games with pet dogs in them.

[Danster]

Do these things start on time normally then?

[Isaac]

Sorry. I'll stop now.

[Jack]

There's more chance of a price increase.

I'LL BUY IT AT A HIGH PRICE

[Comrade]
