Now they're stealing Rock Band and making it (even) worse. I love the way they said they had the music idea the same time as the Guitar Hero 3 guys did. Don't they understad the 3 part?

"Wii Music - for only half the price of a professional drum set you can pretend to play the drums!"

They had the Wii music idea way back when it came out first, they just said practically nothing about it since then.
But you're right about the price thing (not with Wii Music, unless there's a special peripheral you have to pay for. Rock Band is crappy, you could buy a real drum set (as opposed to four circles you can hit) for a lot less.

Overall E3 sounds crap for Nintendo, I don't even wnat to get animal crossing...
Forgive me if I'm misinformed, I didn't see E3 all my information about it is from on here.

Damn those Journalists.

Also don't trust ANYTHING in the newsbox. Its just what I remember whilst slagging off how bad it was, watching it, and eating chips.

For those who were smart enough to ignore it until afterwards:

Hardware

  • Wii Motion Plus
Wii Motion Plus seems to offer the same thing as the Wii remote did when it was first marketed. It will now enable the Wii remote to accurately track movement. It slots into the base of the Wii remote, so I assume you can't use the Nunchuck with it. Personally, I find this puzzling.

It doesn't seem to be a step forward. If Zelda was used with this new hardware, it would have been much more enjoyable, however you wouldn't be able to move. I assume, because of this there will be either a sequel to Red Steel or something similar to it. Obviously, it's just another way for Nintendo to make money.

  • Wii Speak
Wii Speak, unlike a traditional headest, is a microphone which will sit on the sensor bar and pick up any noise in the room. It's primarily designed for use with Animal Crossing in the city area, or when a few friends go to your town.

This seems like a bad idea all around. Too hot, want to open a window? You can't, because the noise of passing cars will ruin everyone's fun, and so will all of the griefers, so start crying about a mute function while you can!

Games

Wii

  • Animal Crossing: City Folk
Animal Crossing City Folk is set to be exactly the same as the original Gamcube game. The only large additions are microphone use (see Wii Speak) and the city. I'm unsure what the city is exactly, I don't know if everyone can be there at the same time, or the whole world. I would assume it's just for you.

Animal Crossing. There are no goals. You can't win. Therefore you are a loser.

  • Shaun White Snowboarding
Shaun White Snowboarding will use the balance board. You tilt to make your character move from side to side an "hop" to make them jump. There isn't a clear goal to the game, it may be based on points, which means you have to hop, and have three to five seconds to waggle your feet.

What's the point? Nintendo thinks you're going to buy their Wii Fit board crap for this? Isn't it about £70?!

  • Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Invasion
Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Invasion is "that game" which every series gets after X amount of games. You know the one, the racing game. It will feature racing through the sky using the balance board to perform tricks, much like the snowboarding game before it.

It will feature racing through the sky using the balance board to perform tricks, wait...what? What is the point? Isn't this essentaily the same as that Sonic rings game butusing a balance board to go left and right instead?

  • Call Of Duty World At War
The next Call Of Duty set in the Pacific Theatre during World War 2. It will feature a few new weapons, such as the flamethrower, and can be played in Co-Op. Expect an experience like Rising Sun.

In my opinion, the best game announced. Although, it's made by Treyarch, the worst devs. I might actually buy this. Yes, me. Buy a Wii game...

  • Wii Sports Resort
Wii Sports resort is a set of "Holiday" mini games. These include throwing a disk to a dog, sparring and Jet racing along a course.

Swords? The same as boxing? Throwing a thing to a dog? The American guy basically said the dog thing was crap. They last about 20 seconds each round. How crap.

  • Wii Music
Just like Rock Band, but with Jazz stuff. It features a Sax (?), drums, a guitar, some sort of Xylophone, Cowbell and various other instruments. There is no goal, but there is a tutorial for each instrument, teaching you how to do it, this means you have to guess which notes to hit, when to hit them, and choose which song you're playing has to be memorised. To play this game properly you also need the balance board.

Okay, Nintendo. Everybod realises you love your balance board crap. You're shunning half of the (already annoyed) Wii owners because they won't/can't spend £70 on a plastic set of scales? And you wonder why Sony fans hate you.

DS

  • Spore
A lot of people want spore, and a lot of people will be pleased to hear that they are releasing a "Custom" edition on DS. It will feature more character parts, and customisation ability than the other versions. However, there is little, or no focus on Multiplayer gaming or RTS sections at all.

It's Spore, but they've taken out the gameplay...smooth moves there.

  • Guitar Hero
Two new Guitar Hero games will be released at the same time this year. The gameplay is virtually the same as other versions, however you use the touch screen instead. The two different versions will feature different songs. If a friend has a different version to you, you can play any of the songs.

"If a friend has a different version to you, you can play any of the songs" -- this leads me to believe that all of the songs are on each game, but for the whole experience you need both. Essentially you are buying half a game.

  • Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
No much was said, but this will be set in the (small) Chinatown district of Liberty City. We can only assume the gameplay will go back to an "original" style.

No comment, really. I really hated GTA before 4, now I believe it's the most overrated series ever. At least Halo has real online matches.
  • [/i]
  • Pokémon Ranger 2
A sequel to Pokémon ranger is also to be released. Not much was said, but it is likely to be exaclty the same as the first.

Same as the first? Wasn't the first a flop?

Misc

Nothing much else to say, but there were hints at a new Zelda and/or Mario before the end of next year, when the creators of the series' were described as "-hard at work".

Hopefully this Zelda will have better graphics (less "smudged" and blurred), a better story, and a fresh new feel with the new Wii Motion Plus addon. If it is, I might even be excited.

Do they do another conference, or a Q&A thing or is it all over? I missed the first 40 minutes of Sony, who actually made their numbers fun. Well, as fun as numbers get. Nintendo should have usd 9 million pikmin.

I ran into Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America and asked him: “What games should the hardcore fans be playing later this year?”

Reggie quickly replied: “‘Grand Theft Auto‘ on the DS and ‘Animal Crossing‘ on the Wii.”

Wow... I can kind of understand why he replied with Grand Theft Auto, even though it will be a dumbed down version, like every game that is originally on a console that appears on a handheld is. But Animal Crossing is not, and never will be, a hardcore fan's game.

Imagine three pedophiles sitting on three different benches. A child sees that they're handing out three different sweets. One of them, is handing out a cheap one, with an outer coating which isn't particularly tasty, but has a sweet delicious caramel inside which somehow expands every month. The second is handing out Tia Maria chocolates. While it's tasty, you soon find that he was the first one there and lots of other kids, now drunken, have chosen him. they're now running around shouting at people. The third is a small, skinny, fairly clean guy. Instead of the other kinds of sweets he offers a Curly Wurly. While it offers something new and exciting, because it's a completely different shape, there is no real substance to it, and you'll wish you had chosen one of the other sweets.

That is the current generation of consoles.

Subject: E3 Announcement

For the last several months, we've been building toward a reveal something exciting that Bungie is working on. We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.

We realise that many of ours fans are dissapointed by this turn of events; members of ther Bungie team share that dissapointment.

When the right time comes, we will look forward to sharing this announcement with you. Until then, we appreciate your continued support and patience.
