[Willkiller]

We're back!

Online system looks awesome, one thing I do want to know though is will I be able to audio chat with friends?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Oh my. I saw Zelda, Metroid icons. Such a tease. I seriously doubt they will announce both at the same time.

If they do, and SE announces a Kingdom Heart HD collection, I will probably be in shock for a month.

 

[Zekes!]

Shit Tuesday is too far away now

 

[Lulubop]

I wish they would have emphasized on the video chat capabilities, but good show regardless.

 

[Sadist]

Love the title

Anyway, good first impression. I like Miiverse.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

I loved that commercial with the action figure and old man and douche-friend

seriously? that shit gave me cancer it was so bad.

otherwise, I liked what they showed for the most part

 

[DieH@rd]

and gaf is back

 

[Hot Coldman]

I was happy with all of it. The game needs to be worth it though.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

NSMB Wii U art looks great.

 

[Uno Venova]

Gaf will not survive E3.

 

[ASTROID2]

Everything they showed looks awesome.

In case anyone missed or wants to recap.

 

[dinosaur_hunter2]

I'm already sold. Shut up and take my money!

 

[LightOfTruth]

Daaaamn...site was down for me for about 20 minutes haha

 

[brandonh83]

I found myself trying to keep count of all the amazing gif opportunities and lost count so bad.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Gaf will not survive E3.

Quoted for truth.

 

[ultron87]

The Internet curtain better actually make that noise every time you use it. It will make whatever horrible thing you're unveiling even better.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Very surprised, really liked it.

 

[Nlroh]

Together better.

 

[Salvadora]

So 2 2D Mario games at E3 then? Bet they interact somehow.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

That seemed like actual self-aware writing, Nintendo upgrading their staff.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

In this day and age, only Nintendo could come up with internet curtains as a platform feature.

They're delightfully mad.

 

[Willkiller]

No screen grab of HD Mario yet? The background gave me a Super Mario World vibe

I'm so happy.

 

[Exterminieren]

I like what I see. Miiverse looks like an interesting concept.

Like that the New Super Mario Bros. has World stuff all over the place.

 

[Vinci]

What's remarkable is that something as minor as that was able to crash GAF for a while. E3 is going to be BAD.

EDIT: Personally, I think the Miiverse idea is pretty damn compelling. Not sure how well it's going to work once a bunch of teenagers get a hold of it, but it's an interesting idea for a home screen.

 

[Lupin the Third]

O_________O It was okay. Some nice things, but they are totally doing online wrong (again...).

Care to elaborate?

 

[chubigans]

Everything they showed looks awesome.

I didn't expect Nintendo to do social in that kind of way. Good on them.

 

[Tuck]

The online functionality really impressed me. The OS looks pretty cool.

Hell, even NSMB4 looked good.

 

[clemenx]

I fell asleep, currently watching on youtube.

How long was GAF down? Do i have too much reading to do?

 

[Mistle]

so we're back.

no 3DS at the conference is nuts. sure that's what he said? they must have so much wii u software if they had this presentation for hardware, and they're excluding 3DS

 

[Garjon]

Being locked to playing online against players from your own region. That controller is ugly as hell too. Other than that, it was about what I expected; some small stuff regarding online functionality that wouldn't lend itself well to on-stage discussion, plus it allowed Nintendo to ensure it had most people's attention as everyone gets anxious waiting for E3.

Also, I am sick to death of the word 'experience' and E3 hasn't even started yet.

 

[Shaheed79]

Time for the playa haters ball to begin!

 

[Good Job Bob]

No thread for the web app stuff or whatever?

 

[Zekes!]

Everything they showed looks awesome.

Looks like they're addressing complaints about NSMB's boring visual style

 

[BlazingDarkness]

The MiiVerse stuff is cool, but he didn't show anything that differentiates it from other online infrastructures, despite claiming to. Heck, most of that stuff launched with the Vita, including sending ingame content and whatnot.

Still, it's good Nintendo is finally approaching online aspects seriously.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Everything they showed looks awesome.

they are actually trying with Mario backgrounds now

 

[qizah]

I'm really excited for what the Wii U will become, seems like Nintendo is taking the right steps from that video already.

 

[XxCGSxX]

Iwata said new 3ds news will be shared in other opportunities, does this means no 3ds at the conference? I'm confused with that quote.

 

[kittens]

They sold me on that video alone. Wii U will be mine.

Seriously, me too.

 

[Kjellson]

Did Iwata say that the conference will be about Wii U games only? Oh man.

 

[Phonomezer]

Have we run through all the WARA jokes yet?

 

[yurinka]

The additions shown in the video are really innovative, now Nintendo also invented:

-Clickable sticks for the Gamepad
-DS3/360 like black controller
-Text messages also available in smartphones or handhelds
-Videochat
-Online plaza to meet the avatars of friends and other players
-Sharing user created content on-line to use in their games
-On-line service compatible with several gaming devices
-Web browser

I think Sony is going to copy for the PS3... oh wait, PS3 had it before!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I am shaking

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Someone make screencaps of Mario. The art actually looked improved from the bland shit of the other NSMB games. That and it mentioned a baby Yoshi.

 

[rouken]

if this brought down gaf, i have no hopes for the Nintendo Conference.
but happy it's just a couple of minutes.

anyway, did they say that the Miiverse is not available at Wii U launch or is it just not available for other devices?

 

[Antioch]

I don't think GAF is ready for E3.

Anyway, Pro controller looks cool, especially for SSB, of course. Online features look better than I expected, especially how you can access the Miiverse from PC, phones, and tablets. Also, I'm glad they showed the console in black, so we'll definitely have multiple color options at launch.

 

[M-PG71C]

I'm shocked really, a lot of these online functions are either very uniquely Nintendo or they are heavily evolved concepts from Sony/MS. This is on top of the fact Iwata stated a little earlier this year that every retail game will be downloadable day-one among others.

Pretty kick ass, I'm blown-away and impressed! It's a lot more than I thought it would be.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Shit Tuesday is too far away now

Well that avatar was fast!

And as far as the Wii U is concerned I'm really pleasently surprised. It looks like Nintendo might have put a little more thought into this system than I thought they would.

 

[Dmax3901]

Lol at the 360 rip off. Vengeance is sweet.

 

[Mlatador]

GAF couldn't handle it, haha!
