[Sam Fisher]

Thanks!

Meh, I'm not a PS3 fan so I didn't really get hyped about anything from the Sony conference. I thought both conferences (MS and Sony) were well put together, at least. I'm a 360 boy so I was obviously more excited for the 360 reveals.

Only thing holding it back is the lack of disc based games. I don't know why Sony is so intent on pushing downloadable games on their handhelds. Make it an option, but sell discs as well. There is a reason that the Go failed.

The Vita does have physical media. DS style cartridges.

Presumably NGP will do a lot of business with PlayStation Store, but it also uses what's called a "new game medium", what Sony calls a small flash memory based card dedicated for NGP software titles.

The card, which takes advantage of the flash memory feature, can store the full software titles plus add-on game content or the game save data directly on to the card.

Just saw all the footage for the Vita.

Day 1 buy right there. So many games. So much awesomeness. So cheap. Oh god.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Excited for day two!

I've trained in a hyperbolic time chamber, learned how to shoot webs, and I know what the Rock is cooking.

My body? Still isn't ready for Nintendo's conference.

Pracitce extreme disappointment, then you'll be ready :P

 

[WolfCypher]

Finally saw the PSVita and...

OK, I'm still going to buy it...but it'll be like the Zune HD; I just bought it to say I own one. It will probably get as much use out of me as the PSP did before I sold it.

The only confirmed titles for the PSV I wanted were WipeOut (again, one of the very few and only games I actually liked on the PSP) and, by default (I'm really not interested in this franchise, but...) Uncharted. Then we'll go from there, unless something up my alley is confirmed from now to the release.

Playstation franchises just don't seem to do it for me.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Can't wait to see the new nintendo console.

 

[craigdbfan]

I'm dying to see it. I can't stop thinking about this possible Pokemon online RPG.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The last Nintendo console I owned was the Gamecube.

 

[craigdbfan]

Same here.

Gamecube and the GBA were my last Nintendo consoles.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I've watched the Skyrim footage about 6 times now and the Mass Effect 3 footage 4 times. Can't wait for both!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I wouldn't hold my breath on that Pokemon game. Nintendo's had rumors of those for years and yet we'll never get one. It's like Chrono 3 or Final Fantasy VII remake.

 

[WolfCypher]

Technically those werem't Nintendo's rumors, just fans' rumors.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Same for the other games I listed. I just don't foresee it happening. I'll eat my hat today though if they announce one.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I don't know, i'm at the end of my rope with my Wii... I've already decided i'm going to hold out until the next Zelda, and if that doesn't impress me i'm giving up. For me to be interested in the new console it has to have more than just HD graphics. Nintendo would need to show me that they will have a significant emphasis on supporting adult gamers, not just for launch titles but over the coming years.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I was never a HUGE fan of Nintendo only games, tbh. I mean, I like Zelda and things like that, but they never appealed to me as much as multi-platform games. My first Nintendo console was the Super Nintendo as well as the Nintendo 64.

Turok + Nintnedo 64 = awesome.

 

[Benstamania]

I've trained in a hyperbolic time chamber, learned how to shoot webs, and I know what the Rock is cooking.

My body? Still isn't ready for Nintendo's conference.

Nintendo's power level is like, OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND for this... So, understandable that you're not ready.

 

[WolfCypher]

Is that supposed to be so sort of, like, meem, or sumthin'?

 

[Benstamania]

It became a meem, but DBZ fans have been saying that since before meem became the "thing."

[Wolvieboy17]

Benstamania was into it before it was a 'meme'. He's exclusive like that :P

 

[Benstamania]

Fo'real.
