SH1 is the scariest shit I've ever seen/played. SH3 just got kinda really weird with the story... I dunno, more Twin Peaks-esque weird rather than scary.

Fatal Frame 2 was prolly the scarriest game I've ever played. Shit was freaky beyond words & I'm emo that FF4 is Wii exclusive -_-

I'm somewhat curious about that horde mode for Gears 2, because I never really played any of the other shooters that had that type of game mode. Also, what was that Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters stuff? That was the first time I'd heard anything about that IP going to PSP aside from Secret Agent Clank. It seemed like they just breezed by that section like it wasn't anything new.

Size Matters came out on the PSP last year and the PS2 earlier this year (I think, I lost track of time and I'm too lazy to check). Heard the PS2 port was horrible. I never saw a single ad or commercial for it (except on playstation.com), so I can see why you've never heard of it.

What time is Konami's conference? There is come potential, but I doubt anything much will be announced/talked about

Edit: Only the video section? You can still access the games right?

Ok so apparently Nintendo does have core gamer games to show, just didn't put them in the press conference.

The Pikmin team is apparently at work, as are the mentioned Zelda and Mario ones.
Mad World is of course looking great.
GTA Chinatown Wars is going to have online support.
There is going to be a Wii Dead Rising game that was just announced... in Japan.
There is Samba de Amigo, a new version of the classic Dreamcast game.
Wario Land Shake It
Dragon Quest 4 DS, Confirmed for US
Deadly Creatures
Castlevania Judgment and Order of Eccelsia (well, Order looks good)
And more

They ignored all of this. What the fuck :/

The service is currently US only with Europe to follow. After that I assume Japan will follow and they they will probably add it for Latin America soon after they start distributing there.

I guess that would definitely explain it then. It just doesn't make any sense to put that in the bundle instead of Secret Agent Clank if Size Matters bombed and apparently clank was a decent game and more recent.

The prob is this is US territory, this is the first time we get ban on something like this, so its sort of strange to see this.

Probably because e3 has more to do with shareholders than say tgs or something like that.

[SephYuyX]

Yes another shitty conference.

[recuperi]

I think it had more to do with the third party people having their own conferences than anything else

edit: that was in response to BRP lol

Well Nintendo needs to get over itself and celebrate third party games more. Yes, Nintendo alone makes a lot of good games, but the third party efforts that are there need press.

It's just frustrating. I still see a lot of untapped promise in the Wii that people aren't trying to get to.

Also, I don't know why Nintendo's conference focuses on shareholders while MS and Sony's don't. Either Nintendo doesn't seem to be aware of the purpose of the conference or MS, Sony, and all of the gaming media is wrong about the purpose. I'm inclined to say Nintendo is wrong here.
