The + and - buttons could be for adjusting the volume of the built-in speaker

 

[Father_Brain]

I'm betting on (and hoping for) a $200 pricetag. I can't imagine it possibly costing more than $250, though.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Is it possible to watch the Gamespot stream with an external player?

or ign for that matter?

I ask for ign as im assuming ign has a 500k stream according to their options?

 

[Mama Smurf]

The way the described was that it tells you it's your turn and things like that which is lame...

Pfff

"Welcome to the game tutorial. Move your controller to the right."

"...your other right"

Hilarity!

The only way I can see it being over 250 is if it comes with 2 controllers and a game. Which would be cool.

1 HOUR and 40 MINUTES LEFT!!!

 

[maxmars]

I wonder what wll happen to this forum if they announce a $399 pricetag or something.

I would quickly disconnect from the Internet, turn off the router and seal the telco jack until the Tsunami wave has passed.

 

[acidviper]

jesus lol, you guys dont listen do you. I posted this in last page lol. Here it is again!



Nintendos live feed is same as Gamespot. If you dont beelive me click the link here
http://e3.nintendo.com

Any one getting +1 hours on the Gamespot conference start time?

What's your reason? I can't use the Windows Media Player because it's an old version and I won't install a newer because I never use it. There has to be a link for the stream you can open in another player. Or at least a site which doesn't use MP.

 

[hahahax]

Nintendo's offering E3 2001. It's been 5 years.

What does it take to make a great game?
What it takes, is the Nintendo Difference.

Would people still find $250 expensive to purchase the Wii if launch games included a new Mario game and Super Smash Brothers Online?

I think the launch games alone would be the determining factor for me whether I find $250 too much to purchase the Wii for.

 

[Maridia]

Ahhh, this is going to kick so much ass...

 

[koam]

The VC prices (Nes "few dollars", SNES $5 and N64 $10) were analyst predictions btw.

I think if it includes a second controller and something playable, $250's not bad at all.

 

[lancubap]

The fact that the revolution controller has a speaker is actually pretty cool the more i think about it. The way the described was that it tells you it's your turn and things like that which is lame... but the controller making lightsaber sounds, the bow and arrow example they gave and the sound effects can really turn out to be cool. The irony is that the sound effects where always there.. at the TGS demo.

The sound is the probably substitute to force feedback (because it uses a LOT of energy). When you use the sword agains another, use feel the Wiimote vibrate AND you hear a sound. This paralise you psychologically and you have the illusion af a real battle.
But it is only a possibility.

Actually the speaker used for sound effects could be REALLY cool.

I see what you and others are saying, but even if it doesn't include a second controller and game, don't you think must have games like Mario or Super Smash Brothers Online would sway you to buy the console at $250? I know it would be a rippoff, but I definitely would tempted to fork over the cash.

if it launches with mario and ssbo, i think the only price people wouldn't buy this at is 499-599.

Oh without a doubt I definitely would.

 

[bigNman]

As if I needed a reminder of how much i love nintendo, I just dropped by DS from 5 feet onto a marble fireplace and it still works perfectly. That could have ruined my day.

Bring on the show!

 

[jacomar]

Their goal is to be inclusive and atract new gamers, and you can not do that with a high price.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Why are we still talking about Smash Bros at launch? Do we not believe EGM?

SMASH BROTHERS IS NOT A LAUNCH TITLE.

 

[koam]

$250 is NOT the price.. they just said that it's an acceptable price. One thing I did notice is that on the plastic cover thing that the issue was in, it says that they revealed "some" of the secrets of the wii in the issue... which basically makes you wonder, is there anything else we don't know that will be shown?

[TheGreatDave]

Smash Bros and Metroid Prime being saved is probably one of the best decisions Nintendo have made in awhile. Both games can be made much better with extra months shine on them, and it keeps the releases flowing.

 

[Illuminati]

I clearly must have missed the EGM thread, the last I heard I thought it was still on. My mistake. Scratch Smash Brothers online and replace it with Zelda:TTP with wiimote capabilities.

 

[Setanta]

I'm just wondering if Gamespot or Gametrailers is the best for streaming? Anyone know off-hand?

*just notices, only 1 Hour 30 mins to go*

Does Gametrailers use Windows Media Player? Is there a way to stream it with an external player?

Plus, you've already got Mario and Zelda hogging attention not to mention some quirkier titles from Nintendo that might be ignored if other big hitters were present.

 

[buck naked]

Nintendo are out to make money. The savings of lower spec hardware pad their bottom line. Sony are gouging earlier adopters for the PS3, we could get gouged too. I'll be happy if its $249.

 

[n3ss]

Any sites sending text updates of the Nintendo's conference? I will be at work

 

[Maridia]

It will include 2 controllers (the logo says it all!), but, yeah, I see what you're saying. We'll see in an hour and a half.


EDIT: Who the fuck am I kidding? I'd probably pay $200 for MP3 alone.

thread over/under?

I make it 5000 as conservative, over/under? (By the end of today, meaning 11:59 PM)

i say well over

 

[Mama Smurf]

You'd think they'd have a big hitter between launch and the end of the year though, especially if it launches in October as rumoured, so I wonder what that would be. Mario at launch, Zelda a month later?

The major sites did it yesterday, so I would expect the same for Nintendo's conf.

I'm not too sure myself. I'm curious as to which site I should use though- GT/GS??

Noticed this too, a comment from Nintendo regarding the PS3 controller- http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/08/technology/ps3_pricing/index.htm

Under. But close.

You forget that there will be 30 threads which break down each announcement into their own topics of discussion.

 

[inthegray]

my prediction: all streams and text update sites will crash under the weight of thousands of nintendo fanboys

 

[trilobyte]

An august launch would be awesome


But dare I say it...July?

*crosses fingers*

 

[Gawaian]

meh.. Gametrailers is not loading for me. Now I'll have to use 1up.

 

[Gio_CoD]

SMASH BROTHERS IS NOT A LAUNCH TITLE.

How do you know? EGM said it wasn't, Iwata said it was. Who to believe?

 

[lancubap]

Yeah, probably Mario will launch with the console and Zelda will follow soon. We must remember that George Harrison said that they want to have a strong, different Line-Up at first, and then a strong support in the following 6-12 months.

 

[Cheebs]

How do you know? EGM said it wasn't, Iwata said it was. Who to believe?

Iwats said it at E3...2005. EGM said it at E3...2006. Think for a second.

Prob EGM since Iwata's quote is a year old and things change

Text'd messages to the cell phone? I checked IGN but see no way of setting it up. I'm so missing this. I am cry

 

[BuckRobotron]

Does Gametrailers use Windows Media Player? Is there a way to stream it with an external player?

Yes, or Quicktime at your choice. Also note the little icons on the right side of the pop-up window when you click to view a given video. Click on one of them to immediately download the movie and close out the window to move on without being stuck with the ads or stream.

I have to go to work till 3. FUCK.
