Holy hell SF looked amazing

[Dark Samurai]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[thatmariolover]

"And there's another company out there that doesn't care what you do, as long as you do it on their Operating System."

Best Quote... Ah...

[Dark Samurai]

MICROSOFT AND SONY PWNED!!!!!!!!!

[Crash]

it is gametime, a new day for nintendo... part of reggies job is to find a way for games experts to have fun....we're serious about expandind what we do... they are not going to run company just for hardcore gamers... gamers that live for mario, yoshi and pokemon.... nintendo will satisfy all the gamers, better than the competition.... one of our competitors is a manufactuers in japan that wants to grab all your money and capture it on your memory sticks, there is another company who doesn't care what you do, unless you do it on their operating system. Nintendo is all about the game. as nintendo moves forward you will see new ways to relate to your games, this is not a promise for the future, it is what is going on right now. while others are tlaking, nintendo is acting.

[Neo]

Yeah he took some good shots at Sony and Microsoft.

[DeathsHand]

Someone shoot this guy...

[Crash]

nintendo has momemtum, welcome george harrison... (marketing and corporate communications)

he shows other negative growth, shows nintendo is up 21%, and 7%... without nintendo there would be no market growth. other competitors are too anxious to see this generation to end, because they are uptodate on here and now. (microsoft)... sony is down 28%, microsoft is equal, nintendo is up 41%... shows that nintendo is in 2nd place by 2 million units, (basically he's tlaking to shareholders)

[The Germanator]

It's like the weigh in before a boxing match. Trash talk all over the place, but it rarely means squat. Hype, hype, hype. We all get excited, then by next year's E3 we all wonder how we can get excited again because Nintendo is doing a crappy job.

[fingersman]

Not bad so far, now I wanna see somestuff that I don't know about and stuff that would shock me.

[DeathsHand]

Hey, does anybody remember that Iraqi guy who spoke to the press?

We are fighting back the infidels... We are crushing them, they are nowhere near baghdad, there are no American infidels in baghdad...

[Crash]

gamers want pure entertainment. something that is long lasting or something you can play easily, gamers want value, talks about dropping the cube to 99.99, sales were up 73% from prior year.

dk adventures
pikmin
mario party 6 , paper mario (no more marios)

[Dark Samurai]

Only 2 Mario appearances?

[Neo]

So the Mario titles are Paper Mario 2 and Mario Party 6......No Mario 128

[thatmariolover]

Wow. George Harrison is really a poor public speaker.

[Null]

LoL! nice one. lol

[Crash]

9 handhelds have tried to surpass gameboy, all have failed. talks about gba video...

will it sell? yeah, maybe... (20 bux for a couple episodes?)

newest competitor:

PSP will have some initial appeal. This year, 25 million gamers will have gba... outselling the ps2

[Dark Samurai]

Wow. George Harrison is really a poor public speaker.

Agreed

[Crash]

he's a cocky ass dude! makes it sound like the psp will not sell anything (and will break) heh, he's funny.

[Crash]

ha, see those games, i told you!

[Dark Samurai]

was that a grey DK that I saw?

[fingersman]

where's the juocy stuff??? I think Nintendo started late because they wanted to rewrite part of their presentation to include the PSP

[Crash]

advance wars.... yeah, i want it now!!!!!

geist, i can't tell if I want it!!! :-)

mario pinball looks really cool though,

zelda for gba looks awesome!!!!!

tales of symphonia looks good

viewtiful joe 2 looks cool

madden 2005, cool

[Crash]

here comes info on the DS

[Crash]

crap, it is kinda big.....

[Dark Samurai]

And there it is, The Nintendo DS

[Dark Samurai]

maybe they shouldve stayed with one color for the DS

[Crash]

here's another pic

[thatmariolover]

I almost feel ashamed of Nintendo. Their arguements have been so weak this whole presentation.

[Crash]

[DeathsHand]

Sorry I just thought the guy was being a bit too dramatic and corny and exagerating, only showing stuff that boosted their image... But I mean do you expect them to put themselves down?

Anyways, the DS sounds pretty sweet I guess... Although they still havn't shown many good examples of uses for the two screens... But touch will be neat, Local network and stuff is good... So is backwards compatibility... Graphics are nice...

And launching this year is a nifty thing, if there are no delays... And I wonder how AFFORDABLE the price will be..

[Crash]

[The Germanator]

The Super Mario 64 X 4 looks interesting as all getout...Playing as Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi in the Mario 64 world? What the hell is up with that? Is it a new game? New worlds, etc? So many questions...

[Dark Samurai]

is that it?

[thatmariolover]

So is that it, then?

So who else has d/l'ed the Zelda movie?

[Neo]

Time for Sony and Microsoft to dismantle their booths, find the keys and warm up the buses.

[Crash]

[Crash]

[Crash]

[The Duggler]

SHIGGY!! AND A REAL ZELDA TRAILER!!! I SCREAMED LIKE A SISSY GIRL!


"I am not Link... But I do know him..."

:rofl:

[The Germanator]

Is that side scrolling? Looks like 4 guys running around the Mario 64 castle in 3D.

[Crash]

metroid on the ds

[Crash]

ok, here is the side scrolling one

[The Duggler]

So is that it, then?

So who else has d/l'ed the Zelda movie? Where? where? where is it?

[Jonbo298]

Is Halo2 still around:p

The new zelda is my most anticipated game since OoT.

Nintendo actually got smart this time and is making the DS Wi-Fi compatible. That is a MAJOR plus.

Everything else was just a major drool fest. But I cant stop splooging about the new zelda

[Crash]

zelda looks just like lord of the rings, I LOVE IT HOLY CRAP!!!!!

[Jonbo298]

I wonder how many more pages this thread will reach:p

[thatmariolover]

Zelda movie link:

http://media.nintendo.com/mediaFiles/b080225c-960e-4a52-a2c6-d7db10bdaef0.mov

I wonder how many more pages this thread will reach:p

It doesn't matter to me :) I can just remember that I was here watching it as it happened.

[The Germanator]

ok, here is the side scrolling one

That's what I'm talking about!!!! :D :D :D

Looks a bit different than I thought, but it's a SIDE-SCROLLING MARIO for Christ's sake! Nintendo finally doing what they should have done a while ago...Strange, but lovely. Anyone got the new GBA Zelda screens?

[thatmariolover]

Link doesnt work (no pun intended)

[thatmariolover]

Err.. Did you click it, or copy it?

[Crash]

zelda for gba

[Crash]

metroid prime is coming out the week after halo... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'


i wont have time to play both... this blows!!!!!!!

[The Germanator]

zelda for gba

Hmm...I wish it looked a bit more like A Link to The Past. This style looks strange, but what the hell...2D Zelda, I couldn't really ask for much more...

[Dark Samurai]

SWEEETTT!!!!!!!!!! Direct competition

[Blackmane]

OMG, beauty! All of it!

[GameMaster]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your live coverage of E3. Thanks. :)

The excitement projected in your posts caused a little moist projection in my lower clothing.

[thatmariolover]

Oh dear, Gamemaster. If only you had been there. Next year, my friend. Next year.

Of course, next year I'll just attend E3... So... Yeah...

You know. We should get a bunch of us GT'ers (the ones of us that are over 18 and cool) press passes for next year..

Cause... Otherwise I'm going to have to get a job at a different site...

[GameMaster]

Can I go with you next year, thatmariolover?

[Jonbo298]

I call dibs on going too:D

[Dark Samurai]

Same here!

[thatmariolover]

Haha. If we actually get everything worked out, Hell yeah we can all go together.

[Dark Samurai]

Hey yea!!!! just pay for my plane ticket, accomodation, food, room service (with the works), and I have friends in Cali, so Im going to have to meet them, and whatever pops into my head when I need it, just that and Im there!!!

[GameMaster]

The Official thatmariolover E3 Tour Sign-Up List
1. GameMaster
2. Jonbo298
3. Dark Samurai
4. Crash
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Any other takers? Only six spots left! Notice: This can and will be real if we start preparation now. We could be the Coverage Crew for GT next year and we need to figure out how to go about getting tickets. Then we all need to meet in L.A. So make sure A) Allowed to go B) Have money for plane, hotel, and food, etc.

[thatmariolover]

It would be fun. Although, I'm not sure how easy it would be for a small site like GT to get 10 press passes though. We will/would probably need to take turns.

[The Germanator]

I wish I could take a few days off in what will probably always be a busy school week for me, but I doubt it. See ya at E3 2008. :(

[thatmariolover]

Well, what would be fun at the very least would be if a few GT'ers could actually get together and even just visit something like a Cube Club if they do it again.

Although, that would be kind of a wasted drive to wherever if we only get to play for an hour or two.

E3 would be better if we can get everything worked out. It really is a longshot, but we should try.

[Seth]

If I went next year it would probably be through AGB. Goomba's pretty loose with the passes.(only if you're in the know though)

We have about 5 or 6 people going this year. Not exactly sure.


It would be a riot :sneaky: meating some of you guys there.

I'm planning on graduating the first semester of next year so I'd have May hit pretty well. I'd be working but I'm sure I could take a week.

[Crash]

I'm going, I was going to go this year, but apparently they said keep may open so I didn't go... graduations and stuff

Count me in.

[Crash]

reggie, kicks ass and takes names.... metroid echoes... HOLY CRAP... awesome graphics,


ha

[DeathsHand]

Someone shoot this guy...
