Leipzig Games Convention
- Thread starter Nino
- Start date
I know it's not worth much, but I mailed Nintendo Germany if they can comment on the possibility that Wii is playable for public.
Please understand that we cannot give any detailed information about which Nintendo products will be shown at this years GC. Take into account that it's the nature of a trade show to present 'new things' and thus it's common not to give away details about the array of shown products beforehand.

How should I buy tickets if I don't even know if the Wii is playable or not ?

No Wii playable at the booth. Only for press:
Nintendos neue Konsole Wii ist derzeit das meistdiskutierte Thema der Videospielwelt. Voller Spannung erwarten die Gamer den für Jahresende angekündigten Marktstart von Wii, die mit einer neuartigen Steuerung das Videospiel zu revolutionieren verspricht. Im Business Center der Games Convention in Leipzig stellt Nintendo Wii zum ersten Mal spielbar in Deutschland vor. Die Präsentation erfolgt - wie schon auf der E3 in Los Angeles - exklusiv für Händler und Journalisten.
Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt möchten wir Wii vor allem den Journalisten und Händlern zeigen, die nicht die Möglichkeit hatten, zur E3 zu reisen, erklärt Dr. Bernd Fakesch, General Manager von Nintendo Deutschland.
Nintendo-Fans und alle, die es werden wollen, können sich auf jede Menge spielbare Highlights für den Nintendo DS Lite freuen. Neben aktuellen Hits, wie z.B. New Super Mario Bros. oder dem Touch!-Generations-Titel Dr. Kawashimas Gehirn-Jogging: Wie fit ist Ihr Gehirn? können die Besucher des Nintendo-Messestandes u.a. die Titel The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, English Training: Spielend Englisch lernen, 42 Spieleklassiker, Star Fox DS oder Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Blau spielen.
Darüber hinaus erwartet sie ein abwechslungsreiches Showprogramm mit vielen Infos rund um Nintendo, einer coolen VJ-Show und heißen Live-Performances: Kool Savas, der König der Schulhöfe, wird mit von der Partie sein, ebenso das Frankfurter Trio Rapsoul und viele weitere Showhighlights.
In Sachen Wii bleibt es auch nach der Games Convention spannend. Bernd Fakesch verspricht: Nintendo wird rechtzeitig vor dem Marktstart eine groß angelegte Promotion-Aktion durch ganz Deutschland starten, die jedem Interessierten Gelegenheit bietet, Wii selbst zu spielen. Damit bringen wir den Videospielern Wii praktisch direkt vor die Haustür.

yeah, now it's confirmed. I alreday feared that this would be the case since there were no USK ratings for wii-demos so far (it is necessary to have an age rating to show anything at GC).
by the way, the "official guide" was made by journalists, not based on informations from the publishers.

I would love some more GAF impressions (GAF SHADED?) of this little baby, World in Conflict:
It's going to be shown there. Please take some time to test this one out. I think there is going to be tournaments and stuff. Also, you don't wan't to miss the nuke, the new environments and perhaps some other secret stuff. It's an action-RTS, for those that don't know.

Alright folks. GC sucks, big time. There are a shitton of little kids on the floor with their parents and you as a hardcore gamer will see absolutely nothing new or interesting (only if you consider games that were released 3 months ago interesting). It's a casual gamers show. A weekend trip for families. Of course I'm talking about the show floor. I can't tell what's going on behind closed doors, but it can't be much more.
And even when Wii is playable for the press they won't play a new build of SMG or Zelda if they play it at all and we won't hear any earth shattering news. Maybe Nintendo has some little things since they're not attending TGS.
Last years press conferences were held in german mostly. It isn't an international event and it's not worth a long travel. Save your money, nothing to see here.

:lol :lol So just as an example, do you wanna say that Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was ... released 3 months ago (this game will be playable at the Nintendo booth)? :lol :lol
Say "hi" to reality.
Oh come on... You pay a lot more money to get their (train, ticket, maybe hotel) than that would be worth (you could buy actual games from that money). In what kind of reality do you live? A rich one? I'm saying that to the guys willing to spend over a 50 for that trip. Go buy a game from that money. You will have more fun with that.
Would you consider playing some soon-to-be-released DS games in a crowded atmosphere for some minutes worth all the fuss?
I was there and gamer friends of me where there and no one wants to go again.

Since when is 50€+ for a trip a "rich" reality?
Of course the atmosphere will be crowded, we aren't talking about some kind of private meeting with a dozen atendees, you'll always have hundreds of people trying to get to play that one game at game shows like GC, E3 or TGS. If you wanna warn people that that actually isn't fun, feel free to go on, but don't say that you won't see anything new there - that's just flat out wrong.
that's right i think: http://www.games-convention.de/pressetermine.shtmlFlek said:

That looks awesome!
Sony Germany said that they didn't make any descisions about the PS3 appearance yet.

A bit late to be making decisions like that isn`t it?
Very strange.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I see a lot of reused E3 assets
Superfrog said:Yeah, so does EA. They'll once more have their 360° display (just like at E3). In fact it must have been so f*ckin expensive that they'll have to use it for the next couple of years.
lol,
I remember that being used also at the very first GameConvention :lol
ps. By the way I'm going.

The EA booth is ****ing awesome. It's absolute legitimate using this booth every time you can.Superfrog said:Yeah, so does EA. They'll once more have their 360° display (just like at E3). In fact it must have been so f*ckin expensive that they'll have to use it for the next couple of years.
