Nintendo Media Summit 2010

BreakABone · 02-24-2010, 11:00 AM

Much like x10 two weeks ago, this is Nintendo's media briefing for the first quarter of the year.

Don't really know what to expect, except I would guess more information on Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M.

We should see some new DSi/Wii-Ware games, and of course hands on with their q1/q2 releases such as Sin and Punishment 2, Monster Hunter Tri and Red Steel 2.

The event starts in just about an hour or so shall be updating, I guess this post.

I wish I could follow it livish, but I guess I'll have to read up on it tomorrow.

Probably nothing special here.

Angrist · 02-24-2010, 12:28 PM

Great, sounds like an early release for SMG2.

BreakABone · 02-24-2010, 12:37 PM

Wow Galaxy 2 launches May 23rd

And Sin and Punishment 2 is June 7th

Now talking about Mega Man 10 for WiiWare. "More hardcore, action goodness with an incredibly different gameplay style," says Adelman. He says there's a new easy mode in the game that's not all that easy. Coming March 21.

Meanwhile, Max & the Magic Marker coming to WiiWare in the states on March 8.

Cave Story finally has a release date. Finally. Sheesh! March 22. Good job, Tyrone Rodriguez. I will give you cookie when I see you.

Super Meat Boy is next. Coming "this summer."

And Yet it Moves. Also "commercially available this summer."

Monster Hunter Tri will be bundled with the new black Classic Control Pro. Has free online and works with WiiSpeak. Demo March 8th. Game out April 20th

Nintendo to publish Dragon Quest IX in the States.

Metroid: Other M is June 27th.

Nintendo has a hell of a first half line-up, what the hell do they do for the second half?

After this conference, I have to assume that Nintendo is gonna push Epic Mickey as one of their big title, but that Zelda and either Xenoblade/The Last Story will cover their back half.

So the final (so far, I could have missed some) release date tally:
March 8th - Max and the Magic Marker

Quote:

"Metroid™: Other M, the incredible new Metroid game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote™ controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic Metroid fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages."

Sounds both intriguing and scary.

I really do believe that Zelda will arrive by christmas this year. No release date for Dragon Quest 9? Bummer.

Thespis721 · 02-24-2010, 02:16 PM

Holy crap? MAY??? I better get back to beating Mario Galaxy 1. This is one of those special buy new games for me.

I won't lie, I've had this game pre-ordered since last August. When the sequel to one of your top 2 games of all-time gets announced, you don't wait.

Sometimes I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who hated Galaxy. Right now is one of those times.

You have brothers. They are just few and far between.

That looks like fun. It reminds me of Uniracers from back in the SNES days, for which I've been wishing someone would make a sequel. All it needs is some jumping and tricks... but it looks fun as it is.

Metroid looks like an XBLA game, or something. And not even a very good one. Those characters look terrible too. Don't like the sound of the control scheme. But strangely I'll still look forward to it, seeing that it's Metroid, I guess.

Good to know that 3 of you have no soul, I've heard Gekko's reasoning before so curious what the other 2 are.

IT does look interesting, still not sure what it is about. But for a 5-6 dollar investment, why not.
