[Why would you do that?]

Live blogging put on hold...
That's okay. We'll just wait until the Q&A. That's more or less the good part anyway.

 

[Shadowlink]

That's it for Miyamoto. Now Eiji Aonuma takes the stage to talk about Skyward Sword.

Time for some Skyward Sword action!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Mmmm, zelda ss!

 

[AceBandage]

How do they really not have more content for 3DS? What are their teams doing? We knew about Mario Kart, StarFox REMAKE, and Kid Icarus since before launch, and Super Mario 3DS slightly after.

WiiU games.

 

[cooljeanius]

I thought it was the IR camera LEDs that were causing the disruption with Skyward Sword last year, not the wireless?

 

[Tron 2.0]

I'd buy a 3DS just for Miyamoto's private Mii.

 

[Error Macro]

Honestly... after seeing the footage of Super Mario 3DS, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Mario Kart (and especially now that Retro is a part of it somehow), I'm most excited about the 3DS--I didn't even want one before now.

Wii U continues to elicit this reaction from me: (-_-)

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Are you shitting me?

Zelda, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Mario Kart, and Mario seems fine from a first-party stand point for the rest of the year. I hope Nintendo actually releases some games in the first quarter of next year, though. It seems like they just ignore it most of the time.

Probably prepping Wii U content.

 

[Ashodin]

kotaku's liveblog is still rollin

 

[Woffls]

Draked? What does it mean?

IGN in-joke about breaking embargo, which Audrey has apparently done at least once recently. I can't remember to be honest, I'm barely listening when I have IGN podcasts on.

Wifi off? Yep, I'm out. Hope something turns up tomorrow morning. Nite all.

 

[Afrodium]

Were people expecting this to be another press conference or something? This is just a round table. We'll be lucky to get one big announcement out of this. Everyone hold yer damn horses.

 

[RagnarokX]

I like how IGN talks about themselves more than what's happening on stage.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

I think Retro handed some DKCR and Donkey Kong assets. The game is basically running on a MK DS engine on crack. Don't get your Retro panties in a bunch. Sheesh.

 

[AceBandage]

We actually KNOW we'll get announcements out of it. Just maybe not tonight.

 

[Sianos]

There's Paper Mario and Animal Crossing as well, two game Nintendo has been afraid to show for somer reason. :\

And there's those two Kirby games for Wii and DS, as well.

 

[Tron 2.0]

WiiU games.

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo is combining teams to deal with the HD assets.

 

[lazybones18]

Eh, I guess Dimensions and Mercenaries can potentially keep me occupied until the release of star fox in sept.

would have loved to hear more about Animal Crossing though :/

 

[GAF A60-Rim A]

Dissapointed at no Super Mario 3DS or Paper Mario this eyar, though.

??

SM3DS is this year.

 

[Tucah]

How do they really not have more content for 3DS? What are their teams doing? We knew about Mario Kart, StarFox REMAKE, and Kid Icarus since before launch, and Super Mario 3DS slightly after.

They have plenty of content for 3DS, that's just the stuff that's out this year. We're getting many more big first party games this year for the system than we normally do for any Nintendo system.

 

[Jeels]

Read the first page, its hilarious. People were expecting Smash Brothers trailers and Pikmin 3 reveals.

Anyway, good to know 60FPS + Retro involvement.

 

[Freezie KO]

WiiU games.

A year away? And we know that's going to have a paltry launch line-up too.

They still make the best games, but I'm just feeling more and more that Nintendo doesn't know how to respond to all the surrounding threats from new media and the tech behemoths like Sony and MS.

Wii U games would take 2-3 years to make, so yeah...

 

[Cow Mengde]

I don't get why he needs to apologize about the Water Temple. I've gotten lost in ever single temple in Zelda anyway. The Ice Temple in LTTP is much worse.

 

[Busaiku]

And there're probably more 3DS games, but Nintendo usually announces games closer to release.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Because the water temple is a bitch. With the pausing every 3 seconds to take the boots on and off.

 

[upandaway]

They're really just talking about all these games we already know about?

Come on. Reggie you asshole you hyped this yourself.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I don't get why he needs to apologize about the Water Temple. I've gotten lost in ever single temple in Zelda anyway. The Ice Temple in LTTP is much worse.

IIRC you can do LTTP out of order, at least some of the Dark World, because I remember finishing Turtle Rock and the bottom-left swamp without finishing the Ice dungeon, as a kid, during my first playthrough.

 

[Trurl]

Super Mario better come out this year.

 

[Freezie KO]

I guess it is. I've just been chilling with Steel Diver too long, and I'm so disinterested by remakes that I barely consider them new games.

So I see Kid Icarus (supposedly the first title in develoment for the platform), Super Mario, and Mario Kart as the big pushers, which are all sure to be fantastic titles, but three big titles doesn't seem that much.

 

[Seda]

Um....yes? This isn't a press conference

 

[Instro]

And there're probably more 3DS games, but Nintendo usually announces games closer to release.

Exactly, Nintendo rarely talks about games super far in advance these days. Everything we've seen from them for the 3DS is either this year or first 6 months of next.

 

[EvilMario]

Zelda this month, StarFox September, Mario Kart, Super Mario 3DS, and Kid Icarus this fall from Nintendo. And people are still disappointed. smh

 

[TL4E]

I don't get why he needs to apologize about the Water Temple. I've gotten lost in ever single temple in Zelda anyway. The Ice Temple in LTTP is much worse.

I thought the Ice Temple was fairly straightforward. There was one tough puzzle near the end though (it involved getting the boss key, I think).

 

[Rubixcuba]

All faith in the Q&A session !

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I think Retro handed some DKCR and Donkey Kong assets. The game is basically running on a MK DS engine on crack. Don't get your Retro panties in a bunch. Sheesh.

It was already anounced they designed the tracks. Rare did that for Nintendo when they were apart of them. Also funny that the Mario Kart game that Retro assists with they incorporate some elements from Diddy Kong Racing.

 

[Seda]

Zelda this month, StarFox September, Mario Kart, Super Mario 3DS, and Kid Icarus this fall from Nintendo. And people are still disappointed. smh

And hopefully Paper Mario not long after that.

 

[Flare]

Exploration will be a big part of Skyward Sword, with players using their swords to find elements in the environment.

This and the upgradeable items are two things I'm really looking forward to.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Wait, there was a bird boss in last year's demo? I remember the scorpion and Stalfos.

 

[D-Pad]

You guys know Kotaku's still blogging right?

[IntelliHeath]

I am curious when is Wii U Roundtable tomorrow?

 

[traveler]

From one of the liveblogs:

-Sword is used to find all kinds of items.
-New race tentatively called Mogmas

 

[RPGCrazied]

God damn I wish this had video.

 

[Busaiku]

Sword Spirit confirmed.

 

[upandaway]

Um....yes? This isn't a press conference

Exactly. And Reggie said about 5 times how the conference was about showing the Wii U functionality, and not announcing Wii games, when asked what about the Wii.

Immediately afterwards he said "and we have 2 developer roundtables!"

 

[Shadowlink]

I am curious when is Wii U Roundtable tomorrow?

We're assuming tomorrow since they're only talking about Wii and 3DS today.

 

[AceBandage]

Link's Sword is named Fy?

 

[Tron 2.0]

I am curious when is Wii U Roundtable tomorrow?

Same time. 6 PM PST.

GameSpot's blog is still going too. IGN is the only one that actually listens to Nintendo's orders, hahaha.
