Support NeoGAF

[JayDubya]

Now, none of this is likely to happen, but Nintendo could eliminate the competition in short order with just a few announcements today. Mind you, they get more and more ridiculous as we progress. That being said:

- Games will not exceed the $50 price point

- Wii will launch at $149

- Virtual Console content will be made available for free

- The Grand Theft Auto series will be exclusive to the Wii

and of course,

-

Spoiler

The name "Wii" was a joke to try to get Sony to change the name to PSWii.

Realistically...maybe one of these will come to pass. Two if we're lucky.

They wouldn't release Wii for less than the Gamecube. Consumers would think there was something wrong with it if it was *that* cheap. The games are going to be $50 for sure. The Virtual content being free is reasonable, as long as it's cheap that's cool too.

 

[JonathanEx]

No "it will be delayed" announcements yet? Dunno if the stream will pick those up...

So I have both GameSpot's and 1up's feeds open, which should I stick with? 15 minutes to go and I don't know.

lolz :lol

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

9:15am Arrived! Just waiting to get in...

 

[jarosh]

you guys ready?

 

[Souldriver]

I am exciteeeeed!!!!!!!

And the pumping beat of the stream makes it even worse.


Btw: are the streams from 1up, gamespot and Gametrailers the same?

 

[Archie]

this techno is making my body move and i dont know whyyyyy

 

[ziran]

WOW!!!

 

[Scrow]

PARTY!

"move your body to the beat!"

 

[Smiles and Cries]

:lol :lol it's in beat too

that reggie dancing pic would work with this music too

 

[alr1ght]

gametrailers is dead. so its 1up or gamespot for the stream.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

10 minutes!

 

[Mashing]

this is some club music, it's kinda nice

 

[AzureRonin]

Dang the gametrailer's feed us up and it's WAY better than the music everywhere else!

 

[Aurora]

Did anyone else just hear soem talking (a PA system?)

Yes, I heard that. It was totally muffled though - couldn't make out what was being said.
Oh well, no biggie, everyone seems to be inside the main hall now so I would say give it another 15-20 minutes.

 

[Scotch]

Gamespot's subscriber stream isn't even widescreen like Sony's

Spoiler

Wii 480i only confirmed

 

[Jasoco]

Yeah, I did. I got excited thinking it was starting early.:lol

After last nights pain in the ass, I'd be happy if this stream just kept at least the audio for the entirety.

 

[Trevelyon]

 

[Maridia]

10 minutes!!!

 

[No.1]

The IGN stream is sucking. Think i'll just stick to Gamespot, since their feed of the Sony conference was pretty impressive.

It hasn't had a good start (the Nintendo conference). Terrible music at 2am makes my head hurt.

 

[Gorgie]

That's alot of seats! So excited!

Did anyone else hear background noise during the gamespot stream. I heard people talking and thought the conference started early, but the video was broken.:lol

 

[Beezy]

Jarosh, I hope you have a new bomzaldroppenton photoshop ready.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Didnt Nintendo stream the conference over their site last year?

e3.nintendo.com is where I'm watching it live. err it appears to redirect to gamespot though?

 

[NME]

They wouldn't release Wii for less than the Gamecube. Consumers would think there was something wrong with it if it was *that* cheap.

Yes, consumers would think there was something wrong. Something wrong with Microsoft and Sony.

Like I said, unlikely. But if it happens, I expect to see a few spanuuuuuuunds, a dozen or so "MEGATON!" and one drinky crow with a good 'ol fashioned "Believe "

 

[Matrix]

:lol :lol

 

[acidviper]

Sites are going to crash in T-minus 8 minutes. Hopefully not GAF or Gamespot though.

 

[Aryuken]

This is gonna be fun

 

[Matix]

Alright I'm pumped up for this shit, ready for some Wii loving.. !!

 

[Roelatie]

8 minutes!

[Illuminati]

[Aurora]

MORE PA TALKING!! Wonder what's being said.

 

[AzureRonin]

Seriously I'm impressed with gametrailers. They had a short segment about the Wii and what to expect.

 

[ioi]

Again, there will be latest news as it happens at:

[Scalemail Ted]

Soooooo Closeee!!!! Nintendo dont be toooo late this year.

 

[siege]

I can't even connect to Gametrailers. Hopefully Gspot's stream holds.

 

[Saoh]

[Darko]

gamespot won't. if GAF goes down go to the other GAF or that other place.
