E3 2009

Meh, I tried watching the G4 live stream but my work connection keeps giving me hiccups in the video.

That 4-player co-op Mario game sounds cool, though.

 

[Tron Bonne]

It did look pretty cool actually, it just looked like it may be too chaotic, though I'm sure it won't be a problem when you and your friends are sitting around playing

 

[Dark Helmet]

Where the hell was this precision thing when the Wii first launched ? I am not hopping on this band wagon

 

[Tron Bonne]

New FF for Wii looks like

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Try Gamespot, I'm watching the live stream through there and it's just had a few stalls. Pretty smoothly, I'd say.

So far, I'm seeing Nintendo having the same problem they had last year at E3.

They're catering the casual gamer so far. Casual gamers are not paying attention to E3, only hardcore gamers are.

Nintendo can still turn it around, though.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Kingdom Hearts video for DS looked excellent. It's not KHIII, but it looks like it's got that magic

 

[BlackLantern]

I hate the Wii.....i get that Nintendo went into an untapped market is making a ton of cash, but this is an insult to proper gamers....the Wii is a toy, not a video game console

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, Kingdom Hearts has been a nice one so far.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Golden Sun, I was wondering what happened to that franchise.

New Mario & Luigi: Brower's Inside Story coming to DS in NA and EU this fall

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

wait...

interactive novel?

what...the...

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

lol.

Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion.

gamers will eat it up. lol.

 

[Tron Bonne]

That would be cool if it wasn't James Patterson, and his Women's Murder Club none less

Spoiler

 

[BlackLantern]

im off today so Im watching the coverage on G4

 

[Dark Helmet]

So far it seems like Nintendo is giving the Hard Core the finger again

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

C.O.P. looked kinda cool.

Although, I've never seen that many blonde people in New York City.

And I live in New York.

 

[YoungE808]

Wow, Golden Sun. That is truly awesome. I guess I'm going to have to get a DS for that and the Kingdom Hearts game even though I spoiled myself with xion's secret >.<.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, C.O.P did look interesting, though I wouldn't describe it as 'gritty' as she did.

So far it's been a DS playground

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

So far it seems like Nintendo is giving the Hard Core the finger again

Yep.

It's a shame too, because hardcore Nintendo gamers are loyal as ****ing hell.

But Nintendo is ignoring them this E3.

Again.

 

[Dark Helmet]

I think that video alone confirms that Nintendo is mainly casual now

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, now it's not over, and they have shown so core titles. New Golden Sun, FF, Kingdom Hearts, new Mario and maybe C.O.P

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, it's gritty.

Nintendo gritty.

lol.

****, did they just play a montage of casual gamers talking about how they love the DS?

I get it. The DS is good. Now move on, ****...

 

[Dark Helmet]

Well, now it's not over, and they have shown so core titles. New Golden Sun, FF, Kingdom Hearts and maybe C.O.P

All made to cater to the casual. Just because its there does not mean its for the hard core & all signs are pointing to they are not

 

[Tron Bonne]

Kingdom Hearts, Golden Sun and Mario are core titles. There's no way around that. They may be opened to casuals too, but they're core titles

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Okay, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is pretty damn cool.

Nothing is standing out though.

Nothing's...popping out, yet. Ya know?
