it looked like fun and you know it.

still hanging out for a 3d one though, do they leave big surprises til the end or was the big bang at the start? :P

Kingdom Hearts for the Wii actually looked better then its PS2 version.

Is it just me or do DS graphics remind you of a combination of PS1 and Microsoft Powerpoint?

Well looks like the new Metal Gear Rising is multiplatform afterall:

 

great, so now it will look like shit on the PS3 (see FF XIII as well, thanks xbox!)

Not necessisairly - it could be that they are using compression techniques on 360, and none on PS3.

Watching the Nintendo Conference... trying to stay awake. It feels like watching E3... in 1999. Do they honestly expect to 'wow' gamers with this old-hat stuff? I mean, yeah, Nintendo and all, but there is ZERO innovation in this stuff. And the graphics on the Wii are really starting to look dated now.

OK, they just showed Tecmo/Nintendo's Metroid: Other M. I'm impressed.

LOL, it got the biggest applause of the entire show, and even that wasn't much.

26 years later Mario does 2 player correctly

the thing is joyrex .. as they have enunciated many times ... they want that 'maybe' gamer market ... it is where they saw their growth strategy .. the problem is that the gaming press and their core user community ... (the people that will be the first to buy their next console .. before it then gets picked up by their uncles .. grandmothers and people they just met at the gym last week .. heh) .. still need to be wowed with actual gaming titles ... the need to demonstrate this core competancy ...

but they haven't got the fucking equipment ....

nor the desire ....

so it's a catch 22 they just have to be stuck in everytime one of these fucking annoying conferences comes around ... forcing them to try to force even more lipstick onto that pigs face ... and i don't think pigs even have lips ... how is this even possible ... how can this be doon !! .. *(soz channelling craig ferguson youtube clips for the past day)*

Nintendo has proven then can tell core gamers to fuck off and still make boat loads, and unfortunately they are correct.

Hope Sony has something good coming . . . that was a total snoozefest (though the Team Ninja thing is certainly interesting, if a bid WEIRD)

And then there was God of War 3.

Fuck me I can't wait.

stil awaek joi .. ??

Damn Sony stream from Gametrailers isn't keeping up with the video... at least I can hear the audio.

holy shit this looks am-a-zing i can't say im surprised after things like Mega Man 9 and Braid getting so popular that Nintendo would turn a popular franchise back into a quasi 2d game.

I just cheered when they said FF7 was going to be available today :)

how long has he been going? will they let him retry all day?

Meh, it looks like any other mediocre action adventure game from that clip. Obviously it's hard to judge, but there's not much sign of beauty and detail in the level design there, as well as more silly interaction between characters. No no no! The whole Metroid vibe is isolation and wilderness, not glossy choreographed finishing moves.

im just glad it's not entirely 3d, i could give two shits about the 'vibe' metroid has established since it's first game on the Gamecube. For me Super Metroid on the SNES is the peak of the franchise

Hmm perhaps, but Prime, whilst getting a bit stale in the 2nd sequel, did capture the themes of the SNES version in it's own way. This one just seems very genericly action orientated so far, though it's probably too early to call it. I'm sure they will keep the whole adventure elements in.

It's impressive, but fans will lament it's not in HD, and probably be forced to use WiiWaggle™ controls. Looks like Tecmo took their Ninja Gaiden engine and applied it to Metroid.

It's a real slap in the face to the US developers that did the Prime trilogy.

They just announced FF 14... WTF?

Looks like FF14 is a MMORPG
