*starts chant*

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Which question?

"Awhile ago Iwata said that they wouldn't release a sequel to Wii Sports unless they felt they were able to bring something new and innovative to the table. WiiMotion Plus seems to do this for Wii Sports.. Why, however, are you releasing an Animal Crossing sequel that appears to offer nothing substantially new whatsoever?"

Though I have a feeling that they'll brush it off by saying "it has a new city square" rather than addressing the graphics/gameplay

6:44 PM: Someone asked if any developers had access to Wii Motion Plus before E3. The answer: Eguchi is not involved in that process and is not sure.

Oh boy....

To be fair, it is a *developer* roundtable; it's likely to be true that he would have nothing to do with those decisions.

Not saying that this is a good sign, just that there's a reasonable chance he's telling the truth and not just feigning ignorance.

Uhh, that was not what we were discussing.

true. rather, it was about how nintendo has pretty much announced nothing for gamers as of late. their e3 showing just further proves which audience they give a damn about now.

Because the game only knows how to attack in 1:1?
Click to expand...

Don't you just hold your sword vertically to block in real lifle fencing? I really am confused by this. It's like making players hit B to bunt in a baseball game. If the Wiimote recognizes 1:1 motion, you should be able to do every move by just moving the controller.

Someone should ask my question...

Serious question: if the controls are 1:1, why do you need a button to block?
Click to expand...
I don't think you need it, I guess it's just supposed to make it easier. As long as you can also block by actually position the Wiimote appropriately, I don't really mind.

If this continues, Nintendo wins the award for worst conference and second worst conference.

We're talking Capcom levels here.


I know it's just a Q&A roundtable, don't mess up my joke.

As for multiplayer, they hope you'll purchase more WiiMotionPlus units, but there are pass-the-remote games, like Bowling in Wii Sports, so multiple WiiMotionPlus accesories aren't always needed.

Did they want us to MOOO while we are milked for our money?

Yes, I enjoyed the THREE MINUTES of quality coverage. I really hope they bring that guy in again tomorrow so he can actually demonstrate his game. Felt like such an afterthought.

All their little developer sit downs were that short, not just The Conduit.

Yeguchi can't say exactly how many mini-games will be in the final game, but he'd "like to have ten." We'd like to have a million dollars, but ...

Maybe it's a quick-key for people who aren't skilled in defending as they are in violent whacking.

It's still a good question, I want to read their answer.

6:49 PM: We're asking: What inspired you to bring Wii Sports to the beach setting, and how many sports in the final version of the game?


6:50 PM: They used the resort setting because when coming up with the Wii Motion Plus, they sat down and thought of sports that would make good use of the tech. The sports that they thought of were all sports that you could do on an island/at the beach.

As for how many sports, they can't tell us how many exactly, but they hope to put in at least 10 sports.

Better be good 10 games.

Nope. They're just going over Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Sports Resort so far. The only interesting news is that players will be able to transfer AC characters and items from DS to Wii.

But they thought about fixing them!

WAIT.. Wii sports 2 only has TEN minigames at max... and one of them is a damn frisbee throw? WTF? I wonder if lying down on a balance board for 3 hours pretending that you're suntanning is also a minigame.

Someone asked if by releasing Wii Motion Plus Nintendo is admitting that the original tech in the Wii-mote was not quite enough.

Is this an admission the Wii Remote isn't good enough? When they were working on Wii Sports, they always wnted more, but they realized they could create a fantastic product with what they had. Or, as Donald Rumsfeld might say, You go to launch with the Wii Remote you have, not the Wii Remote you might wish you had

10 Sports at least. They hope.

That's OK. But then Frisbee toss and that jetski thing are so much shallower than the original 5 so there need to be more good sports.

Maybe I'll just play Wii Sports Resorts tomorrow and figure out the question of fencing blocks once and for all.
Click to expand...

It's just quicker to do it that way, kinda like pressing a button to do an about-face in FPS. If you miss a swipe on your opponent, you press the b-button to come back to your defensive stance and prevent a hit. Not that hard to understand.

I'll repost from Reggie thread, since we know what Nintendo has to offer at E3 officially now:


I don't think it's entirely unfair to suggest there is now an OPEN LIGHT to third parties for a moment here. Hardcore gamers are obviously not going to buy Animal Crossing in place of legitimate hardcore experiences.

Here is what the release list looks aimed at hardcore gamer's, with Nintendo's titles thrown in for effect (regardless of their casual/non-game nature):

AUGUST

Sam & Max Season One
Line Rider 2: Unbound
Mario Super Sluggers - NINTENDO
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility

SEPTEMBER

de Blob
Samba de Amigo Wii
Wario Land: Shake It! - NINTENDO

OCTOBER

Guitar Hero World Tour

NOVEMBER

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars (?)
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (?)
Animal Crossing: City Folk - NINTENDO

DECEMBER

Wii Music - NINTENDO

ETC

Late 2008 or 2009

Little King's Story
Fragile
Mad World
Wii Sports RESORT - NINTENDO

If Nintendo wants third parties to pick up the 'hardcore' mantle for a while, I wish they would let their games breathe a little more. Because with a release like this, they're still going to get overshadowed by these Ninty products regardless of merit. Press will talk about Wii Music, not Little King's Story.
