Nintendo E3 Conference - Summary Page #1

[mdn2]

They're shouting at one another diplomatically.

[diggler]

It is backwards compatible. It is a new system. It is HD. You are all dumb.

[Chooch]

Just hope it isn't resistive...

Why? The 3DS screen is very responsive.

[the_debaser]

This interview is compelling.

[roskelld]

Geoff is the Paxman of the gaming world

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Kinda sucks though given multitouch screens cost next to nothing, and you could do some fun stuff with multitouch. Just hope it isn't resistive...

That Go game they showed had people playing with fingers, but they've shown a stylus as well.

[Blooming Marvellous]

first interview regarding games I've ever seen that was actually an interview and resembling a proper conversation..

[Spacehost]

Why? The 3DS screen is very responsive.

I just prefer capacitive screens, it's easier to use your fingers on them.

[the_debaser]

Not Blu-ray. FFS.

I swear, I get that people feel let down by the Wii, but everyone's just sifting for complaints at this point.

Nintendo just announced a new console that's at least as powerful as the 360 and PS3 (and bit more if the rumours are to believed). It's got a new controller with a lot of fancy new features, but also can be used solely in a "dual-shock" fashion for traditional games if desired. There wasn't much in the way of game announcements, but that's because it's still 18 months away.

What's there to complain about?

It's probably because by the time this is out both MS and Sony will have shown off their new machines which will emphasise the gulf in graphics the same way the 360/PS3 did with the Wii. Which leaves it with what? A fancy new controller?

So, it's exactly the same path as they took with the Wii and look how most people feel about that these days.

Nobody knows yet, but it could turn out ok, get some devs back in the fold and grab a bit more of the proper gaming market - that seems to be what they're aiming for this time around, at least - but who trusts Nintendo after the way they dropped core gamers for their last home system? Once bitten and all that, eh?

[Bojangle]

No blu-ray.

I'm out.

[DC Lemon]

I love Justine but wasn't aware she was genuinely into games after watching her painful Portal 2 playthrough on YouTube.

[Hyper P]

Agreed. Geoff's asking the right questions.

[Varcan]

Geoff ripped Reggie a new one there.

[roskelld]

Why no Bluray? Is it a cost control thing? Is the licence fee high? Surely developing new media costs a bucket.

[Chooch]

There is.

It is backwards compatible. It is a new system. It is HD. You are all dumb.

Sorry - wont upscale Wii games.

[CaptainOates]

Reggie was momentarily enraged during that interview. It was the most beautiful sight I've ever witnessed.

[Graham S]

Good thread everyone. I'd pos-bomb all of you if only I could.

[Marlowe]

Which site is this interview on?

[scottcr]

No blu-ray.

I'm out.

Do you have a ps3? Or an 80 quid Blu-ray?

If you don't by the time this comes out - I LOL at you

[Chooch]

Gametrailers - its nearly over though.

[hoot]

Quiet everyone, scott is here...

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Why no Bluray? Is it a cost control thing? Is the licence fee high? Surely developing new media costs a bucket.

Paying Sony money.. stops piracy (for a while at least, perhaps!).

No blu-ray.

I'm out.

It's a games console not a DVD/Blu-ray player (hence no DVD playback on the Wii). Get a Blu-ray player now for £50 if you really want one.

[Graham S]

Gametrailers - its nearly over though.

You can wind it back.

[Chooch]

'It's a box'

[NecroMorrius]

Come in several attractive colours

[Bojangle]

Do you have a ps3? Or an 80 quid Blu-ray?

If you don't by the time this comes out - I LOL at you

SARCASM DETECTION FAIL LOL

;) ;)

[Chooch]

You can wind it back.

The future right here, right now.

[Bojangle]

[CaptainOates]

I'm actually vaguely impressed by Game Trailers coverage. Actual proper interviews and informative back and forths between the presenters and the guests. ABOUT VIDEO GAMES. The end times are surely upon us.
