Nintendo Press Conference To Be 2 Hours Long

Geoff Keighly recently tweeted about the length of Nintendo's press conference, which will be held just a few hours before Sony takes the stage at E3. It is expected that Nintendo will reveal their much anticipated 3Ds handheld , amongst other things.

"Just got my Nintendo E3 invite. Looks like they are doing a 2 hour briefing from 9-11 AM. Guess this is why Sony now starts at noon."

I can see why. I'm very excited for Nintendo this year. :)

Blaze9295108d ago

Damn, Nintendo is like Jay Leno - made Sony loose their time slot! ZING

But in all seriousness, I can't wait to see the 3DS and Golden Sun 3. OMG Golden Sun. I love that series to death.

LordMarius5108d ago

2 hours?......something is coming

Cheeseknight285108d ago

Well Zelda Wii, Golden Sun DS, and the 3DS are guarantees. They can talk about the 3DS for at least 30 minutes and it not be that boring, as long as they show lots of footage (Somewhat doubtful).

Don't forget about the Wii Vitality Sensor, which hasn't been seen since last E3. It may look like gimmick crap, but you can bet it'll show up this E3, along with last year's big game Metroid Other M.

It's disappointing the more I hear about Other M the less excited I become. The opposite effect happened when Metroid Prime was first announced. I think it has something to do with Wiimote sans-nunchuk being the only control form - my thumb hurt enough just playing Super Paper Mario, I don't want to imagine the soreness after a game like this.

kesvalk5108d ago

you guys forgot pikmin 3 and the retro secret game...

vhero5108d ago

2 hours bore fest if last year is anything to go by... Honestly the new DS worry's me as they say 3D without glasses however its impossible with the new 3D screens that don't need 3D glasses to show 2D content however they also claim its backwards compatible.. They are lying about something... You either need glasses or its not backwards compatible.. Either way Nintendo's press Conferences have never been exciting.. usually a couple of cool announcements then a load of crap to fill the rest. Like a new version of wii fit..

ABizzel15108d ago

There's no need to lie. If they say it's backwards compatible then I'm sure they already have prototypes running 3D games, and playing DS games.

There are 3D screens that allow you to see 3D images without using 3D glasses, but you have to be in the sweet spot, and with the 3DS being a handheld it will be easy to find that sweet spot. Also there are TV's that already have 3D implementation, an dthey can cut the 3D functionality off, which they said the 3DS will be able to do.

So the technology is proven.

qface645108d ago

aren't they always 2 hours?
how long were they before i don't remember

ChickeyCantor5108d ago

Dont forget, that developers are using some standard to the DS hardware for 3D rendering. That information could lead to backwards compatibility.

But was it said that all games will be 3Dish?

But hey what do you know right?
Its them putting millions into R&D.

That presentation was an embarrassment.

Cevapi885108d ago

CDbiggen5107d ago

I'll never forget watching that embarrassment of a conference the first time...part of my old Nintendo memories died that day.

That's actually noon for us east coasters. Hope there's a lot of content to be shown.

EvilTwin5107d ago

In addition to the 3DS, I'm hoping we get Western release dates for Xenoblade and TLS. And with that much time...perhaps we'll finally see what Retro and Project Sora have been up to.

fossilfern5108d ago

Well i still hold out for the good old days of nintendos E3 confrences and i always just get bored but they left the best untill last at least years E3 certainly made me wake up :D

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

darksky5d ago

The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.

Inverno4d ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS4d ago

There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.

lucasnooker4d ago

lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Chard6d ago

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen6d ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

kevco336d ago

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic10d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
