E3 Nintendo Discussion Thread

[Vade]

Vade , since you're close to the industry, are you able to ask/find out if PAL systems can download the NES/SNES/N64 games the same time they're available for NTSC systems? Or will we get fucked over again? Also for games that didnt get released to PAL such as NES/SNES final fantasy games.

If you cant, oh well i'll find out in a year.

Bleh, I'm not sure. I'm not as close to the industry as I used to be. ;; But I still know a few people I can ask. I'll let ya know.

Maybe its been resolved by now, but arent there still two competing formats for the next-gen dvd? Like HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray? Similar to vhs vs beta way back when... It would be REAALLY funny if Sony made the ps3 more expensive in large part because of blu-ray if the market for movies ends up going the hd-dvd route. Sounds like capacity on blu-ray is bigger so probably better for gaming anyways, though I doubt 30 vs 50 gig capacity will matter for a couple years.

Imagine if everyone had bought a ps2 saying OMG DVD and a year later you couldnt find a movie on DVD cause they all came out on minidisc?

I'm sure Sony will pull through, theres only one app for the psp movie format and yet they still make those, but its still an interesting hypothetical in the console wars.


Edit: found an older article that explains the two formats http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages ... 29058.html

Just for everyone trying to say that Sony didn't "steal" the idea of a motion sensor controller (lol ok), I read this on nytimes.com

The major surprise news of the night was that the PlayStation 3 controller has an internal “gyroscopic’’ capability similar to that in the Nintendo Wii controller. That means that merely turning and twisting the controller can produce action on the screen, rather than the player having to press buttons or pull triggers. At first blush, that revelation appeared to be a major blow to Nintendo, which had been counting on making the Wii controller one of the stars of E3. But on further consideration it seems like there may be a bit less there than meets the eye, at least for now.

That is because of all the games Sony made playable after the presentation, only one appeared to take advantage of that gyroscopic functionality: Warhawk. In introducing the controller, Phil Harrison, head of Sony’s global game studios, seemed to indicate that they have had workable versions of the system for only a few weeks. If that is the case, then it seems extremely unlikely that the gyroscopic function was part of the original design for the PS3. Rather, it seems much more likely that Sony got nervous after seeing the Nintendo demonstrations at the Tokyo Game Show last year and rushed to add a plausibly similar feature to its own system.

Match, set, point.

Sony showed their controller last year at E3, it had no such feature. Nintendo showed their controller at TGS later in the fall, it was met at first with a bunch of "huh???", followed by "omgz this is a great idea." Flash forward to E3 2006, Sony, "uh we've kinda added a half-assed motion-sensor to our controller too, but uh, only one game supports it and we only decided to do it 3 weeks ago."

Nintendo scared them rofl.

i really don't get how some people treat game consoles like their mommies and daddies, i mean geeze, i hope sony "steals" EVERYTHING from x360 and wii, so that i have the ultimate system to play my games

you know what, actually i hope x360 would lose so bad that at the end of the day the only choise bill has left is to buy out sony and nintendo and make x360 the only game console on the market, so i don't have to buy 3 consoles to play all the games i want

don't you get it? when companies compete, "dirty" or not as people like to call it, CONSUMERS benefit (that's us players by the way)... can't believe how retarded fanboys can get

Used to work for EBGames...knew the regional and district managers so we got information pretty quickly. Only person I still know in the industry would be a beta tester for Vivendi Games.

Something interesting I read about the game, they're really going to be using the controller a lot. In order to do the kamehameha, you have to flick the controller backwards towards your chest while holding down the a button, keep it there for 10 seconds while chanting the words into the built in microphone on the controller (and since it'll be online, your opponent will be able to hear you and know to stop fighting and watch you charge up), and then fling your arms forward (controller in hand) towards the TV while releasing the a button to fire the blast. And once you've released the blast, you can use the controller to control its direction. All the while, you can keep moving w/ the nunchuk thumbstick if you're forced to dodge an attack.

Ok, thats total bullshit, I can't back that up. But it does sound like a game that could make use of the controller in a lot of ways.

My crazy idea

LOL!!

Ahem, on that list, the only thing I saw (and remember 1min later) that interests me in RE, hopefully Capcom doesn't do anything stupid like go exclusive with RE, cause we all know how well that went!

It resulted in Resident Evil 4, the best game in the entire series =(

Luckily they moved it to PS2 cause they needed the extra money (fk u exclusive) because they lost a shitload of money and nearly went bankrupt or something like that...

Holy shit holy shit, I just wet myself again, they're seriously making a sequel to Crystal Chronicles?

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers

Dude I fucking loved FF:CC so much, so many people dogged on it, but if you got 3 other friends together that game was the SHIT, it was so much fun. Holy shit they're making another one, I think I'm gonna pass out...

It was ok but I didnt like the fact to play with 3 others, you needed 4 gameboys. So I played it 1 player and it sucked.

I played it three players and the game ruled! They are also making a version of FF:CC for DS.

[Kaylia]

Nintendo are probably wetting their pant right now. Everyone thought they were dead a few years ago, and PlayStation was winning every popularity contest. I'm not sure if it's the DS vs psp, but it seem like they regained everyone trust.

[Erebus]

I have to admit, I was prett much counting Nintendo out ever since they released Gamecube. I thought it was only a matter of time before they do like Sega and go software onry.

I am pleasantly surprised, and I have to give them props for turning it around.

Can't wait to play with my very own Wii.

This game would have been infinately better if a player wasn't forced to carry that damn chalice. When you play solo the moogle carries it, how come he got all lazy if another player joined in? I usually played 2 player, and it was really annoying when you just walked around with the stupid thing. Other than that it was a good time.
