[Goreschach]

Wiebe is still going. He played through that whole presentation. And it was probably more exciting.

[schild]

it was more exciting

man

i really wish they had saved metroid: other M (COULD THAT BE MORE JAPANESEY) for the WiiHD

team ninja in 480p really isn't something i wanted again

won't be enough samus boob jiggle for itagaki (or me)

[Yegolev]

I think the most hilarious part of the Nintendo reveal was actually the look on the Microsoft people's faces when they realized N has been spending capital on relatively-hardcore games while they were getting all metrosexual.

[schild]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

wiebe lost

[Goreschach]

Awesome, he died. Right after Nintendo stopped. Fate.

There's a potential Donkey Kong kill screen coming up.

if anyone is interested

It was a valiant effort.

Super Mario:  Bad Camera 2.

No wii Zelda. 

Metroid looked awesome.

Lots and lots of meh.

[Bzalthek]

Oh, Mario Galaxy 2 not until 2010 btw.

[schild]

who's ready to be totally let down by sony?

i am

[Yoru]

I updated my avatar in honor of the new Wii accessories.

[schild]

it's so bad

[Bzalthek]

I'm not expecting much, but who knows.  They don't have to do much to show up Nintendo, though I still think Microsoft came out swinging even with the metro shit.

[schild]

i went back and watched all the stuff from the microsoft presser afterwards

aside from alan wake, it was all a lot of whooha.

the best thing from the con thus far is splinter cell

period

if you don't think so, you don't like games, that shit was beyond awesome

[schild]

t-minus 28 minutes until the express train leaves to hypefail city

[Bzalthek]

Splinter Cell looks awesome.  Though I'm a final fantasy whore and I'll always buy MSG.  So I was excited about those.  Portal sequel perked my interest too.

I HOPE THEY SAY HOW AWESOME HOME IS.  IF THEY KEEP SAYING IT IT MAY BE TRUE ONE DAY

[Bzalthek]

Sony reveals new Home Avatars, called Piis

no, not really

[Yegolev]

The infuriating thing is that if Sony DOES NOTHING as in DO NOT COME UP WITH SOMETHING RETARDED then they are set to jump into first place.  However we might see a Guncon with a Eye on top that is also motion-sensitive and can measure your heartbeat.

I just saw a picture of the Tony Hawk Skateboard Controller.  I think I could beat Tony Hawk to death with one.

[tmp]

Thank you Mr. Iwata, for that look into the future.

You have to think ahead. This is first in the long line of controllers driven by sticking an appendage into it.

[Yegolev]

I would not say it is the first.  Already we have the Nunchuk and the Classic Controller, and even the Wii Condom.  I have also seen a tennis racket, golf club and spatula.

What struck me as funny was Early in the Microsoft presser Tony showed off his skateboard controller, but at the end project Natal showed a kid playing a skateboard game without the need for any controller at all.

I wonder what Tony thinks about that.

[fuser]

I just want some GT5 news, ala a new prologue patch/feature push(ala spec IV) or a solid date for release, Forza 3 best graphics/physics for this generation my ass..

When i said appendage, i meant that in sense of player's body part.

[patience]

Most ironic musing I've had about these last few press conferences.

TURN YOUR CELL PHONES OFF BITCHES

NO CELL PHONES ON THE HYPETRAIN

At least the Sony pre-show music seems to have a real instrument here and there.

Baby steps, Sony, baby steps.

We need to send in an extraction team.  I think they've hurt him profoundly.
