Star Wars: Clone Wars - Holiday 2008
New Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party (interesting that they call this party and show only one person playing. )
Call of Duty: World at War

all showing off how the Wii controls are used. World at War uses the Wii Zapper.

That's the "for the hardcore" announcement he was talking about? :thumbsdown:

 

[R Nilla]

Yeah, the SW game looked interesting but otherwise: meh.

 

[Queasy]

Oh joy....more Pokemons on DS!

Now announcing a custom version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on DS this winter.

 

[R Nilla]

Yay, more Pokemon garbageware to drive DS sales!

 

[R Nilla]

Ooh, GTA for DS? This could be interesting...

It would be if they showed it...but they just jumped to the next thing.

Now appealing to air travelers. Using the DS in airports to find out about luggage, wait times, etc.

Now appealing to baseball fans at Safeco Field to play trivia, order food, and other stuff.

Now appealing to cookers....using your DS as a cook book in the kitchen.

 

[R Nilla]

DSmote?

Now talking about the Wii-mote accessory Wii Motion Plus.

Wii Sports Resort announced made for the Wii Motion Plus.

A jacket will come with Wii Sports Resort package.

Now showing off how it works. The 1:1 works pretty well. Cammie sucks at throwing frisbee.

There's a jet ski game. Looks pretty cool. You can't be self-conscious and play Wii games.

Sword dueling! Hold the Wiimote with both hands and it the game will reflect what you do 1:1. I could see a Soul Calibur-type or Star Wars game with this easy. Split screen like Wii boxing.

Reggie calling the Wii Motion Plus "the new standard in motion control". Reggie it isn't a standard if you have to buy it seperately.

 

[R Nilla]

Now we're talking. The frisbee game was lame, jet ski not my style, sword fighting looks awesome.

 

[purbeast0]

i gotta see this 1:1 thing to believe it (can't watch it at work)

 

[Queasy]

New game playing drums with the Wiimote, and Wii Fit board? There's got to be more than just playing drums...

Wii Music - using the Wii mote to play different games. Miyamoto playing the sax with his Wiimote. Accompanied by drums, a cello bass player and someone on the xylophone.

Something everyone in the family can enjoy and play together.

Most music game require to press buttons with precise timing to compete for the best performance. Wii music designed to experience the joy of playing music...especially for those that aren't musically inclined or can't follow the button mashing in Rock Band/Guitar Hero.

All you do is hold the Wiimote and move your hands and body, press buttons and the Wii will detect that.

Shows off piano, violin, and guitar. Even those big Japanese drums.

Supports the WiiFit balance board for drum pedals. The drum mode includes lessons.

Won't evaluate the performance but will record your performance so you can create your own music video.

Up to four players at a time. Cowbell joke.

Got four execs up on stage playing the Mario theme song. It looks like a cluster...

Sounds like a really uninteresting press conference but it doesn't matter..Wii will still sell a babillion.

I hope Sony's is more exciting.

Yeah, it is actually quite underwhelming.

 

[R Nilla]

Isn't there supposed to be a new Kirby game? I'm at least interested in seeing Wario Shake and Mario Super Sluggers.

Yeah, there was some Wario Shake video that came out last week. That actually looked REALLY REALLY good. I don't know why they aren't showing it here.

 

[Onund]

WiiSpeak is the only thing mildly exciting...

 

[Queasy]

Reggie getting his digs in on some people calling the Wii a fad.

Talking about finding the next advantage for Nintendo. Yes Reggie, you need to find it. Because you didn't show anything that will give you that next advantage.

Yeah I saw that and would like to see more. Looks like a game I will be buying.

 

[R Nilla]

Seriously, that was it? Wow...

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

No Zelda or anything? No Kid Icarus? wow.

 

[purbeast0]

anyone have a video of the 1:1 mimmicking ? just of that part? does it really work as well as 1:1 sounds like it should?

 

[SAWYER]

LOL wow that conference was HORRIBLE

 

[erwos]

That was pretty average. About the only thing I could work up some enthusiasm over was ACW + WiiSpeak, and that's only because the wife loves AC. Otherwise, more mini-games? No thanks.

I guess GTA-DS has some promise, but after seeing how the PSP versions turned out, I'd be stunned if it were really a AAA-hit game.

 

[Modeps]

So, WiiSpeak... how will that work if you play with audio coming out of your television?
