[Vic]

Hell yeah! As of now, Nintendo E3's TRULY begins!

 

[dkeane]

fuck yes! Now I don't have to import.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Yeah saw it on the Nintendo Press Kit. It's about time. One bit of good news.

 

[adg1034]

We need a source. Now.

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

This game deserves to belong in every single person's DS library!

[rollingstart]

video looks awesome

 

[Bo130]

Good. Now, do Daigasso! Band Brothers DX as Jam With the Band, please!

 

[Zerodoppler]

Is there a video? Please tell me there's a video?!

 

[The Hermit]

IS THAT RYTHM MOTHERFUCKING TENGOKOU???!!!!!!!



FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mollipen]

OH SHIT! Nintendo redeemed after that press briefing. Still an utter shame we never got the GBA version, but hey.

 

[jj984jj]

Yeah footage of this was the only good thing in that kit, I'm still laughing at Nintendo's conference too much to get excited right now though. :lol

 

[Tucah]

NINTENDO REDEEMED

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Damn I have the import preordered. Not sure if I should cancel or not. I know when this comes out here I need to buy it to support this stuff. Wouldn't it be great if it came with a localized version of the GBA game. Wishful thinking, I know.

 

[minor effort]

HOLY SHIT! Nintendo did announce something worthwhile today.

 

[psy18]

keeping this away from the conference. why?

 

[Father_Brain]

Where's the password?

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Is there a video? Please tell me there's a video?!

Yes, and it's twice the resolution than the video released for Warioland Shake a fucking WII game.

Oh, Nintendo.

 

[Rufus]

I pre-ordered the Japanese version already... Hm, oh well, I'll have it (maybe) earlier then. :lol

It's great that it's coming over to NA either way. Hopefully it won't be a niche title due to its Japanese quirkiness or something. I really hope it clicks with people.

 

[Haunted]

YES!


Hey cool, new Kirby and SM Sluggers stuff on their press site as well.

keeping this away from the conference. why?

E3: media and business summit

Focusing on the casuals so the mainstream media is more likely to report on them.

 

[Vic]

Looks great!

 

[Icanplaythat]

Where's the password?

[KTallguy]

The GBA one is a great game.
So was this coming out in Japan too?

 

[Amir0x]

THIS is the sole reason time and space didn't implode at the awfulness of the conference.

Because they included this in the press kit.

 

[Totakeke]

This looks heavenly.

Oh, how I missed those frowning faces.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

The GBA one is a great game.
So was this coming out in Japan too?

This comes out in Japan at the end of the month, I believe.

 

[Doytch]

I've never played/heard of this. But you're tapping the screen to the rhythm. Why is this so much better than Wii Music?

Not trolling, I just have no clue about this.

 

[psy18]

Wow, looks fun. Controls are still simple. Just touch and let go.
Hopefully the music doesn't suck.

[d+pad]

Glad I waited to preorder the Japanese version until after today. Thanks NOA! Seems like I may still need to import Band Brothers DX, though.

 

[Rufus]

On the 31., exactly.

@video
Sweeet.

 

[KevinCow]

Not trolling, I just have no clue about this.

It's not really a music game. It's basically Wario Ware (made by the same people, actually), but the mini-games are based on music.

 

[big black woman]

why is the video disappointing????? :-(

 

[nightside]

ONE good news.


waitin for more...and no reggie..i couldn't care less about animal crossing....

 

[psy18]

The original only needs you to press a button. and it's great!

 

[Jacobi]

so has anyone recognized mini-games from the gba one? Or are they all new

 

[Rufus]

Seems to me that they're all new.

The original only needs you to press a button. and it's great!

At once. You're pressing other buttons or using the d-pad in some stages, but mostly it's just one button, yeah.

 

[Vic]

Seems that it's the only new game outside the conference that they are revealing. bullocks!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

why is the video disappointing????? :-(

I'm sure the remixes at least will be awesome. From the original game:

Remix 2
Remix 5
Remix 6

Seems that it's the only new game outside the conference that they are revealing. bullocks!

Too early to know for sure. They might have something on the floor, plus might call a surprise conference like they did for SSBB a few years back.

 

[Mejilan]

Any reason why the press site lists DQIV DS and FFIV DS as having the same release date of July 22?

 

[farnham]

finally something interesting

 

[HK-47]

Nice, but this doesnt redeem Nintendo at all.

 

[Jaruru]

the REAL E3 didn't happen in the conference!!!

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

Yeah saw it on the Nintendo Press Kit. It's about time. One bit of good news.

Where is the press kit dragona?

 

[Drakken]

Easily Nintendo's best game of E3. Can't wait for this.

 

[Mdk7]

is this what's only left of the old memorable Nintendo magic?
At least this one seems to be amazing, just like the original.
Day one, of course!
