Worst case scenario;

Reggie: "Heh... we can finally show you... what Retro... have been hard... at... work on. You might remember them... for the METROID PRRIIIIME games. And their expertise... in the area... of FIRST PERSON adventures... will not... go... amiss... here. Roll the trailer."

*Trails rolls for BLACK OPS: IT JUST GOT OPSIER, a dedicated Wii U port of BLOPS 2, specially and expertly ported by the folks at Retro*

Reggie: "Never again will Nintendo fans go... without COD! From today, I'd like to announce that ALL future... Call.. of... DUTY titles... will be handled on the WiiU... by Retro."

So, is the Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast going to be available for Europe and North America early on the 13th of September? Guess I'm staying up then.

If there's anything that can disappoint me with the games is Retro Studios doing a western-style GOW-macho-style game. If that's the case I probably won't enjoy watching the trailer, and that'll get quickly forgoteen too, it'll be very depressing, i won't want to think or speak or do anything with It, i simply won't participate in any discussions because it's that would just make me more sad.

It's like Carmack mentioning software patents and he wasn't talking for too long, he cut him self out as it was too depressing to even think about it, it's so wrong, so unnecessary, so bizzare and you can't do anything about it.

And because I pretty much bought GCN because of Metroid Prime, it was the only time that actually the whole family was, would you belive it, impressed by the graphics and actually looking at the whole system for that afternoon, won't , back in the old days and when GCN came it was like that moment, that one never got repeated ofcourse I was a lot older when I got wii (didn't get it on release, didn't even knew about tech and web a lot, internet came like in 2004)

Unfortunately my father wasn't so much in singleplayer games, brother also got out of it as he got into gaming second-handed or how is this said, I had the true interest in gaming and I self-advanced, on the PC side i was influenced with a lot of RTS, so I stayed RTS to this day although I have nothing against good FPSs like CoD2 which turned into a private server and a custom mod, which is pretty interesting what I managed to do, when I started I had zero idea of the C++-stlye scripting language, psychical powers turned out to be stronger and I actually enjoyed it even tho It took me a week sometimes to figure some small tiny bit out, but without that thing the rest would work in that part of the code.

Cristally clear I remember the scene of the cinematic intro when Samus comes out of the ship and all those really cool camera views ...

And that why Metroid Prime goes so deeper than anyone could even feel throguh just reading this, you really had to have similar experience to understand this, this is not explainable by words. How much of an influence the game had for me to drive my self even deeper to be , every challenge presented to me was the game's value, the more harder it was the better, i wanted a challenge,

I rather see, I would never want to see Other M ever again, and thankfully it was not that depressing because it wasn' the same developer, but we know direction comes from the head so I doesn't seem right why would nintendo let them do such a thing, they should not make it if it's not right.
For example, I don't want to see another game if it's not done right, I rather replay old ones than to betray my self and wish another game just for the sake of continuation of the franchise, a wrong successor would have plauged it as a whole, lowering the avreage, Call of Duty was shitted on as well as Command and Conquer so I stopped caring, if I would care it would be a waste of time and nerves.

If there's a disaster in the making it's going to be a call-of-dutized metroid, If they really ever would want to make western-style game, it should be some new IP at least.

Any you know what, this is not a thing I will argue and it's not even worth it, but It's a good thing to mention. The general media often put's nintendo's games in the same bin as japanese, and there goes the devs whining how nintendo's platforms only sell cheap family games ...etc.

Those games don't have any visual japanese, they are mostly neutral, broadly speaking japanese games are full of anime and little half nude girls, western games are full of violence and war propaganda, nintendo's games don't fit any of this in avrage nor extreme cases, it's very neutral and this is A BIG advantage and reason of nintendo's success, their numbers add up globally, while the media usually reports about US estimates and from there analysts base their terrible speculation.
However the japanese mainstream conusmer is a bit, more subjective than west in variety of tastes, I've have to congratulate the west because there are people who can see the quality and gameplay, while japanese are pretty are 95% "if it's not anime it's automatically shit". Nintendo's games have had success ofcourse, but come on, 100 million people live there and they sell by tens of thousands(avreage)

So there will be 3 threads where we should be able to follow the live conferences, + 3 more threads with their respective outcomes?

Either way, things will be crazy tomorrow, for good or worse. :p
