Reggie announces Metroid Wii by Team Ninja coming in 2010

Gamertags - 217 days 10 hours ago

Very Bad Start...
The new Mario game really looks disappointing and Wii Fit Plus is just an extension to the existing. A quick sequel in other words. The motion plus is to fix the controller because it never has worked right.

I will update as it goes!

Update: After seeing the next step in gaming (MS Motion), watching the Nintendo Show is really poor. Having to purchase an addon to make the controller more accurate is ridiculous.

Update 3: DS titles looking fairly poor as well. So far, no core games. Primarily focusing on family games and etc.

Interactive novel for DS....enough said! Looks very poor.

Instead of using a controller, they need to focus on using your entire body.

Wii Resort isn't looking too hot either. Maybe for the younger it may be interesting but to core gamers, there is not much here. A collection of mini games that have been seen elsewhere.

Update 4: Final Fantasy is looking poor but Kingdom Hearts looks promising. Of course, wait and see.

Update 5: What blows my mind is that this is the best Nintendo has come to show us. This is what they thought was going to amaze us.

Very poor!

Update 6: A woman stated she plays with herself and so far, this is the only positive aspect to the Nintendo show.

Nintendo is focusing on the DS and not the Wii. Software is looking very limited for the Wii. No one is clapping. No response from the crowd so far. DS games are looking poor and extremely dated.

Update 7: The Nintendo show should be wrapping up soon. By far, just as terrible as last year. This is seriously, terrible!

The Global President is now on stage speaking of 'gaymers in all of us.' Nintendo needs to have someone on stages that gamers can relate too.

The woman is terrible and only fits in with older women.

Update 8: A new addon has been announce. A sensor that rates heart rate and etc. Yet another addon and nothing that really translates into games. Very poor design. Large. Wired.

Nintendo says that gaming may help players sleep and I believe Nintendo is doing a great job of putting everyone to sleep now. No one is clapping.

Update 9: A new Mario title is announced and this time is looks good. A hell of a lot better than the first one, which should be on the ds. This title looks to be very similar to Galaxy and not completely original. Sad to see that they haven't gone in newer direction.

Update 10: The show is wrapping up and honestly, I think that is a very good move for Nintendo. The show has been poor on every front. Just as last year, the showing was poor and nothing very good has been announced.

Another announcement is coming. Three titles are coming before year end.

Conduit: Nothing new and poorly reviewed.

Resident Evil Dark Side (back side): Another title that is known to be in the pipes. Nothing new here.

EA has Dead Space for the Wii: The game looks to have the atmosphere but clearly the graphics look terrible. Seriously bad. Control looks very rough. Not getting a good response from the crowd for a good reason.

Update 11: Nintendo has a new IP coming. Nintendo has teamed with team ninja to bring a new Metroid game. More of a side scrolling fighter with 3d elements. Looks rather poor. Game gets a few claps. More than anything else Nintendo has shown.

Update: 12 Reggie is speaking again and will hopefully stop the bleeding and will end the show. Clearly, MS has has the show of a life time. Nintendo looks like a business that is trying to sell addons and sequel extension games. A terrible game for sure.

Nintendo just buried itself for 2009 if you ask me. Sony will have FF13 this holiday season in Japan, so they can kiss first place goodbye in that sales market.

That's not to say Nintendo will see a slow in sales from the western world and from more and more casuals. I myself now am looking at this year to get either a DSi or a PSPGO, and with what games I can get at + the features they hold will determine it. With Kingdom Hearts, Golden Sun, and Zelda it looks like a triple threat to please me as a consumer without a doubt.

Nintendo did please me with this Metroid game, because it does look fun to play without a question. I'm not that excited for Mario Galaxy 2, because it's not what I expect when a new 3D mario gets announced. I expect a complete innovation from the last with a new twist. I was really hoping for a new 3D Zelda announced, because that's why I bought my Wii in the first place was Twilight Princess.

The Wii games are harder to get excited for this year with what 360 and Sony has for my tastes---which is not casual. I am liking where the DSi is headed game wise, and it does look like that will be Nintendo's bigger money maker hardware wise this year over the Wii itself.

Better than last year...

Welcome home tecmo!

Now there are some crazy things that many of you may not see happening right now... many of nintendo 1st and 2nd parties still have not player their cards. Motion+ showed off stuff most 3rd parties did not even try out, the bow is really sick imagine that in it's own action game!

Yeah because copying Nintendo is so original... you poor Sony fanboys must be really upset. you get nothing except what other console had for 2 years now.. Poor kid.. Dont worry, just keep using it a a dust collecting paper weight like most PS3 owners do.. I mean its not like you have anything to play on it...

BTW I love the Sony press conference where they copy Madden, Zelda, mario and so many other Wii titles yet act like its the first time the tech has ever been seen. Most of us know better but Sony knows its audience. 12 year olds without a clue so they can get away with lies.

Well, some overdue love for Ninty core fans.

Talking about Team Ninja. There is a trailer of Sigma 2 in gametrailer, but I haven't seen any news posted here. It looks beautiful. I'm officially pumped up for that game.

You know Nintendo's gotta be sweating bullets after seeing everything Microsoft already announced and know Sony's coming right after them.

It's like getting gang-banged from both ways.

I could of swore I heard crickets chirping in there for the first 45 minutes. lol!

mrnintendo96 - 217 days 8 hours ago

This E3 was certainly better than last year. It was enjoyable but lacking in my opinion. They still showed a lot of casual stuff here, stuff that E3 goers don't care about. We didn't get Pikmin, Zelda, or Star Fox and no third-party game was demoed normally like at the other conferences. Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M (looks like Final Fantasy to me. Samus looks like Cloud Strife a little bit).

Overall, good conference. I give it a 7/10 (last year was a 4/10).

Oh and we didn't get a MW2 on Wii announcement!! BOOOO!!!

Greysturm - 217 days 10 hours ago

Its a general desease here at n4g everyone that stays too long gets infected by it. (i admit i am infected)

My opinion on the showing

Games

I thought the wii "GAME" showing was better, they focused on their exclusive titles so they didnt waste the first half hour hyping multiplatforms and dlc so that i give to them. And to everyone that says to much casual crap guess what casuals are their fanbase and they provided enough content to keep hardcores happy

Presentation

Microsoft by a long haul cammy really sucks at her job. Reggie kept it too short he could have been a little more charismatic

Tech/add ons

Microsoft technology is better but i have a feeling nintendos are gonna be more significant as more people will buy them. I really doubt natal will make wii fit numbers.

you gotta give it to Nintendo, they made something that is functional. I do not know if I can continue to call it trendy, since trends come and go.

Ninty is pretty confident and so now are the developers giving love to that console. Wii gamers should be excited. They are getting casual to hardcore material without the bestest graphics ever which is fine.

I think Nintendo will continue to satisfy it's audience and hopefully expand on it.
