So I guess there will be WiiCon functionality in TP 100%. Sounds good, WarioWare is going to be alot of fun with some friends.

sounds like they are fucking sold on the idea. Cant wait to see how Wario Ware and that Tennis game play at E3.
And this becomes the new fanboy insult - "a loser, a blank-eyed joystick fondler" :lol :lol quality

Hmm... interesting article, but I guess Nintendo is still keeping a lid on the big surprises until Tuesday. I wonder if Twilight Princess actually has been switched to Wii.
This new Nintendo attitude that they keep spewing out is starting to become tiresome and damn near offputting. This holier-than-thou air of superiority that Nintendo is conveying with regards to the direction of the Wii is absurd, hypocritical and narrow-minded. It's so ridiculous that the path they themselves road along for 20+ years, they are now trying to convince us is all of a sudden archaic and detrimental to gaming on the whole, and the Wii, the only true bastion of innovation (because innovation in games should have more to do with the controller, not, you know, the actual games), is giving the consumer an experience Sony and Microsoft could never hope to achieve.Iwata said:
I know I'll probably get ragged on for this, but honestly, I find it insanely arrogant for Nintendo to near completely downplay 30 years of videogame innovation and evolution simply because they're deciding to use a different controller. It continually distracts me from just focusing on what they show next week, irregardless of the other guys, and hoping it turns out to look fun.

I swear someone argued with me that WarioWare wasn't coming a while back. How the fuck am I going to track that down? I need to prove my e-penis is bigger dammit.
Hulahoop? :lol I don't midn the idea, though some will, but how the fuck are they going to pack that in!

They have serious competition and they want to expand their business past the core gamers. If they only listened to the core gamers than they would never expand their business.

The tennis thing is interesting as it's not mentioned as Mario Tennis. Which makes sense as Camelot are apparently making an RPG, but it's such an obvious idea Nintendo werne't just going to let it go. I also suspect they see it as a good game to bring in non-gamers who'd quite like to play tennis...but probably aren't going to play a tennis game with a giant ape in it.

The article also has a sidebar with a few screenshots (which I don't have, obviously, since Lexis-Nexis is text-only). Here are the captions:
So, we have a new Wario Ware Game: and this is a good news, but not so inexpected, because the Wiimote is almost made for it.
Then Twilight Princess, with the possibilty to fish, and this is really nothing new.
And a Tennis Game. But developed by Nintendo ? By some Third Party Editors ? By who ?
Good interview in complex.

I wonder if this means it's a demo like DS demos rather than a proper game, just to show what the system is capable of.
Or it could just have shit graphics.
EDIT: Damn you Peru.
Not the country.

Maybe, but there should be zero doubt now that Mario Tennis won't kick ass.
But there was a game called Tennis before, so don't let the generic name fool you.
I actually agree with Nintendo in the sense about not listening to their customers. I hate to say this, but people generally do not know what they want.
As just an example from my experiences with MMORPG's, I can sympathize with their approach. Developers give in the vocal minority on the boards, trying to please everyone and going down that slippery slope. A nerf here, a tweak there, pretty soon the game gets tailored to the hardcore and the elite, never happy or satisfied, and casual newbies are no longer welcome and eventually get cut out.
Obviously this analogy isn't exactly like the game industry. I don't agree that the industry has stopped growing, or that Microsoft or Sony have stopped attracting casuals. It's yet to be proven that Nintendo will attract that larger demographic, but I do find it refreshing (and understand why it's necessary for them to blaze their own trail in a business sense) for them to at least try.

That is how every game is created though.. especially at Nintendo. The idea and mechanics come first.

This all sounds great! Hopefully Twilight Princess is now a Wii title.

Seriously, you sound like a child who's jealous after a new born. Nintendo aren't just dealing with the hardcore anymore, deal with it. If you don't like it, stop complaining. The 360 and PS3 aren't going to dissapear into thin air when Wii is released! You still have 2 hardcore traditional consoles.

He's not talking about the name there. He's just saying that they want to make a splash with new experiences. People weren't clamoring for Brain Age, Nintendogs, 3D GTA, analog sticks, or touch screens until they saw or tried them.fortified_concept said:
