I'm finding it difficult to walk away from my monitor. Must sleep.

 

[Pellham]

plz plz plz

IS has been very quiet lately.

I'd rather they skip the DS and just focus on Wii games. They helped program a lot of the Super Scope Six games after all.

(Granted the people back then are now in managerial roles at IS, but still, IS's talent could be used for other things besides the same old series, although i'd love to see Wii FE/AW)

it would be nice if nintedo fans would calm down and stop making so many threads.

how can we call down!! this is supposed to be the best E3 for nintendo evar!!

 

[A Link to the Past]

Hooray! What a sneaky way to make a sequel, eh?

Except that it isn't the kind of game that would work well with Western music. Gitaroo Man is.

 

[speedpop]

it would be nice if nintedo fans would calm down and stop making so many threads.

The only way to combat this is to create more Sony and Microsoft orientated threads. To arms I say!

 

[FoneBone]

Meh just wait 2 days for the press c.onference. I'm surprised Mario vs DK2 and Ouendan were leaked but this one wasn't. It's noth.i.ng to pee your pants over considering I don't rememb.er anyone even talki.ng about it on GAF when it came out.

Chibi-Robo DS... that and MvDK2 had better not be the only surprises.

Here's my guess as to the probable DS lineup, based on what we already know and what's been posted in this thread:

New Super Mario Bros.
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2
Beat Force (or whatever the US title for Ouendan is)
Chibi-Robo DS
Wario the Thief
Mario Basketball
ASH
FF:CC DS
Tingle RPG (sorry, folks)
Magical Vacation 2
Pokemon Ranger

EDIT for clarification -- only including stuff that's already more or less confirmed/announced in some capacity, which would exclude Fire Emblem (though I think there's a very good chance of that showing -- we all know it's in development). I REALLY want Dread to show up (METROID 5, DAMMIT!) but I'm not betting on it.

 

[BuddyC]

Yeah, thanks for the hint.
Colour me surprised, and excited

Same here

 

[A Link to the Past]

Wait, I missed something, is there a Chibi-Robo DS??

Where is the new castlevania? :-(

 

[BuG]

Awesome news! Basically Ouendan 2, though the "new" music is going to make or beak this game for me.

 

[evilromero]

Where is the new castlevania? :-(

Or Metroid Dread? It's going to happen! Oh let it happen.

 

[BuddyC]

Where is the new castlevania? :-(

At the Konami Booth, most likely. Nintendo tends to showcase the games they're publishing at their booth/conference.

 

[FoneBone]

Where is the new castlevania? :-(

As should have been obvious, I was listing first-party games. Which is all this thread is about.

 

[ethelred]

Chibi Robo DS!

Best news so far this E3!

 

[PkunkFury]

As long as Capcom brings Phoenix Wright of some sort to the show, E3 DS line-up will be a success in my eyes.

 

[Emotions]

it would be nice if nintedo fans would calm down and stop making so many threads.

It would be even nicer if haters-trolls would stay
away from the threads they hate and quit singling out Nintendo fans .

 

[jj984jj]

I still don't see why people are bitching about Ouendan, import it if you want the Japanese songs. I knew if it was Nintendo localizing the game that it would have new music, imho you should've expected the same since Nintendo doesn't cater to audiences so small that they would by a game that is majorly foreign in their own country.

 

[Father_Brain]

Last I checked, Castlevania was published by Konami, not Nintendo.

oh, im sorry, i thought u said complete ds line up and got scared :lol

 

[koam]

Was Chibi any good on the cube? I never tried it but the concept behind it seemed cool.

Exactly. People are basically bitching about a full-fledged Ouendan sequel announcement. How weird.

English music and scenarios is the only way the game would ever have had a chance to come out in America.

I'd rather they brought it unAmericanized. It's a matter of the fact that English music doesn't work in a very Japanese game.

 

[ethelred]

It's outstanding. One of my top five favorite GameCube games.

 

[evilromero]

Very good. A sandbox-type game but very endearing from the get-go.

I actually think it also has to do with the fact that Nintendo would have to re-acquire the rights to those Japanese songs on foreign soil, which can be a pain. I'm not entirely certain about that, though.

Either way, Import the original now and play it while you wait for the English version. If you haven't played Ouendan yet, you've done yourself a disservice

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

btw, capcom better port over those other phoenix wright games which are heading to mobile phones. I mean how hard is it to port to the Nintendo DS?

 

[Pellham]

Er that's why they're presumably americanizing the game. What's the big deal? Did american songs kill Donkey Konga or any other music game that was brought out here? Didn't think so.

 

[Emotions]

It's excellent. Such a charming game. It's dissapointing to see many people ignoring it

So Koam that's the game you talked about?

 

[Xristot]

man, I hope nintendo brings over jam with the band. Hopefully they'll have a Wii version of that too at some point. That game kicks all sorts of ass.

It's not like they didn't have to acquire the songs for Ouendan. Plus, they're reproductions of the songs anyway, aren't they?

 

[jj984jj]

If Chibi Robo DS is true, I hope it's the game Bandai was originally going to publish with the point-and-click mechanic and features the story of how the robot was made.

 

[PkunkFury]

So are Ouendan and Chibi Robo Nintendo properties?? like... could be in Smash Brother Nintendo properties?

 

[ethelred]

It's excellent. Such a charming game. It's dissapointing to see many people ignoring it.

But enough people spread the happiness that Chibi gets a second go on the DS! Best news of E3 so far!

 

[sprsk]

chibi robo will go down as one if not hte most underrated under appreciated games of this gen.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Er that's why they're presumably americanizing the game. What's the big deal? Did american songs kill Donkey Konga or any other music game that was brought out here? Didn't think so.

You can't compare Mario to a game with a Japanese feel! Gitaroo Man, Donkey Konga, DDR, etc. don't have the problem Ouendan has.

 

[Emotions]

chibi robo will go down as one if not hte most underrated under appreciated games of this gen.

Word.
Damn so many people ignored it.

 

[koam]

You're joking right?

 

[jj984jj]

Oh give it up, I told you this was going to happen in the other topic and it did, deal with it. If you want the original songs import it.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Word.
Damn so many people ignored it.

Um, Kirby Air Ride?

I'd say that's easily more underappreciated than Chibi-Robo.

 

[rubso]

Nintendo's DS lineup at E3... "surprises" inside!
- New Super Mario Bros.

- Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
--- There will be a big demo at E3 with four different areas to explore.

- Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2

And.....

- Ouendan!
--- Nintendo is localizing Ouendan with a new name, new backgrounds and storylines, and licensed English music.

where is the surprise?

 

[koam]

where is the surprise?

There arent any.. SURPRISE!

 

[Mook1e]

I'm not worried about the Western Music in Ouendon as much as I am the new characters, new storylines, etc.

I'm just trying to avoid as much cheese and corn in my video game diet as possible and the fact that Ouendon deals with cheerleading and varied quirky situations could go very wrong if applied in the wrong way. If the cheering squad remains and the situations/characters are changed, it may not be so bad.

Lets just hope they don't make it TOO westernized in those respects.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Um, Kirby Air Ride?

I'd say that's easily more underappreciated than Chibi-Robo.

NO! Kirby airride was crap. I bought the game and was dissapointed. The only good thing was the top view mode. The rest was just crap.

 

[SomeDude]

I doubt metroid dread is real seeing how the guy in charge of the gba games did wario ware touched and is now probably working on the wario wii game.

 

[ethelred]

Um, Kirby Air Ride?

I'd say that's easily more underappreciated than Chibi-Robo.

Kirby Air Ride - 692,467
Chibi Robo - 30,000


No.

Aside from that, Chibi Robo is one of the GameCube's very best games and Kirby... is not.

 

[Keyser Soze]

where is the surprise?

Chibi-Robo and Rare's DS game

 

[PkunkFury]

You can't compare Mario to a game with a Japanese feel! Gitaroo Man, Donkey Konga, DDR, etc. don't have the problem Ouendan has.

I think if they make it purposefully campy and use cheesey pump-you-up 80s music it could work... like "Eye of the Tiger", or "Walk like an Egyption" for the Cleopatra level

If they try to pick cool, modern songs, it may lose some of its appeal for me

One thing is for sure, NOA does some ace localizations, so I'll bet the dialouge will be good

 

[GhostSeed]

thx, edited:

 

[Gaia Theory]

So do we know if Skip is involved with Chibi Robo DS?

 

[evilromero]

Um, Kirby Air Ride?

I'd say that's easily more underappreciated than Chibi-Robo.

I agree with this. City Trial was one of the most engaging experiences I've had with a game in a while. You can get lost in the game just trying to collect as many power-ups as possible. It becomes hypnotic.
