Jesus, I'd love to see last year's then.

I'm sure he was waiting in the back to pop out and announce some cute pet project as if it were going to change the face of gaming. Reggie knew that he couldn't let that shit happen two years in a row so he just let it end after the new Metroid game was announced. I'm sure the conversation afterword was fairly awkward.

"Leggie, what the herr! I wanted to show my new frower smerring game."

"Oh, dude, shigs! I totally fucking forgot, my bad. God damn, I totally heard someone in the audience say that they were hoping we had a game about smelling flowers. Dude, I am just as pissed as you are. We're totally going to do it next year. You, me, and the flower smelling game, I promise."

Too Long; Didn't See: Absolutely nothing interesting at all, just a bunch of gimmicks.

Nintendo doesn't really get along with Miyamotto anymore it seems. Funny considering he is the reason they are still alive and how his games are nintendos biggest. Why couldn't he come out with a sword and shield like he did in the past.

Nintendo have impressed me by announcing a new Metroid game as well as New Super Mario Bros. on the Wii. I'm pretty sure this will be a game me and my friends will enjoy playing, so well done Nintendo, despite mentioning Wii Fit Plus and other related crap.

WoW nintendo, way to utterly disappoint. Same games in newer slightly better sequels. If my Wii wasn't a gift from my cousin, then I would regret having it, but since it's free, w/e. Yes there are some exciting titles, but, nintendo failed to present. While "expanding the gaming population" is a good thing, you have absolutely forgotten about the "hardcore gamers" (e.g. Halo/Gears of War fans). There best games are the primary titles and there letting third party developers come up with games that frankly don't meet up to par. Miyamoto and Nintendo have gotten lazy and stopped developing new and exciting games.

Simply put Nintendo had there executives present and it sounded like it whereas Microsoft let there games speak and they did!

Wii Music

Theres a clip of several people on stage all playing (read: waving their arms about frantically) on stage at once, which is also hilarious/terrible.

No Zelda, no Pikmin :(

BUT DAMN SON, SMG2.
AND HOLY SHITBALLS, TEAM NINJA METROID.

Sony's turn now...

From what I remember about the Microsoft conference:

- Halo: ODST
- MGS: Rising
- Gears of War
- Splinter Cell
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Modern Warfare 2
- Forza 3
- Tony Hawk...?

A lot of FPS action, respectable but a little old.

Nintendo:
- New Super Mario Bros Wii
- Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Metroid: Other M
- Golden Sun DS
- Mario + Luigi 3
- Spirit Tracks (Not really new)
- The Conduit
- Resident Evil
- Dead Space

Idk, that's all I remember for both. That covers most of it though. Nintendo has a bit more variety when it comes to genres, but Microsoft has a lot more for the "hardcore gamer". Honestly, The Conduit should be one of the most exciting things for the Wii, since it's shaping up to be the first quality online shooter for the Wii.

I'm kind of anticipating MGS for the PS3, since the picture of Big Boss on the Konami teaser site isn't explained yet. Then we can speculate.

Team Ninjendo.
Team Ninjatendo?
Team Nintinja!

I give up.
I was kinda expecting a Ninja Gaiden game, in the style of Red Steel, but that wouldn't work.. and no, I was really expecting Zelda, seeing Team Ninja just confused me.

Swine Flu related excuse?

Why was Iwata there then?

Hopefully, Tokyo Game Show will have Kick-Ass Shigsy.

He's tougher? I don't know, I don't think I'm being serious anyway.

Sony conference is about to start soon.

A little later than planned.

Sony conference is starting in 2 minutes :D

Anyone watching on Gamespot can tell me the name of that song? lol, Kinda catchy...

Fuck, hurry up Sony!

I'm going to be an hour late for work.

Meh

- MGS: Rising

Unimpressed at the minute, seems to be riding in too much on an MGS high. I can accept cash in's, but this is really pushing the boat out.

- Gears of War

Shadow Complex?

- Splinter Cell

Meh

- Left 4 Dead 2

Money spin. Retail map packs instead of DLC. Fair enough though, Valve need to top up the coffers.

- Modern Warfare 2

Shared the music from the first one, so I hope that was the only cost cut. Skidoo gunplay was amazing if not getting away from "realistic"

- Forza 3

Awesome

- Tony Hawk...?

A gimmick at best. Why don't they just return to the pinnacle of the series? Use THPS3 format, those games made the franchise for a reason.

Don't forget that interactive boy thing, that was their wanking material I expect.

A lot of FPS action, respectable but a little old.

A small percentage in comparison to the rest.

Nintendo:
- New Super Mario Bros Wii
- Super Mario Galaxy 2

Galaxy good, Super Mario Bros not too fussed (Galaxy is the only game that convinced me to play Mario admittedly)

- Metroid: Other M

No data, always thought of it as a behind the times FPS. Side scroll Metroid was where it was at.

- Golden Sun DS

Awesome. Nothing else to say.

- Mario + Luigi 3

As above

- Spirit Tracks (Not really new)

Train=Boat
Looking at it like that cheapens it somewhat, but it's a Zelda game so it's a given that it will exude quality. Unusual that they're running with the Wind Waker universe though, makes it the longest running now I think. (same Link wise)

- The Conduit
- Resident Evil
- Dead Space

....

Cross platform online play, with exclusivities dependant on your console. That would surely flare same fanboy rage again. Raiden won't seem quite so cool.

You guys really seem to be giving Nintendo a hard time. In actuality, their first-party efforts are about in-line with Microsoft's. It's the third party support that's really lacking.

First-Party Wii Games
1. New Super Mario Brothers- 2009
2. Wii Sports Resort- 2009
3. Wii Fit Plus- 2009
4. Super Mario Galaxy 2- 2010
5. Metroid Other M- 2010

First-Party Xbox 360 Games
1. Forza 3- 2009
2. Halo ODST- 2009
3. Halo Reach- 2010
4. Alan Wake- 2010
5. Crackdown 2- 2010 (?)
6. Milo- 2010 (?)

I'm using the notes I kept during both press conferences, so I'm pretty sure I got all of the first-party games mentioned in both press-conferences (I left out Joy Ride and Shadow Clone because they're downloadable/crappy). Nintendo actually talked about more first-party games in their press conference coming out in 2009 than Microsoft. Now, given, equating Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports Resort, and New Super Mario Brothers to Forza 3 and Halo is a bit ridiculous.

Still, a lot better than last year and I think third-party is really more to blame for Nintendo's apparent weak lineup. While Microsoft has Left 4 Dead 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Modern Warfare 2, Nintendo only has The Conduit, and two on-rails shooters.

It's starting!

Montage and in-jokes! Better than that Nintendo woman.

Oh dear, for Nintendo (My personal favourites).

364 games? And what a huge screen!

More stats and more "we're supporting the PS2" crap. Get off the charts and preaching, got onto the games.

Dammit, this guy wont shut up about the PS2.

Here here.

Wow I'm late. I got caught up on MS stuff yesterday though and I'm looking forward to a few of the game they showed. MW2, and Splinter Cell Conviction, and Assassin's Creed 2 are my top 3 out of all it. The new Halo game sounds interesting and the Halo Reach announcement was a great move to get the fans excited. Not so sure about the motion sensor feature they're coming out with, but being able to download whole games on XBL is a great idea/response to the previous Onlive "threat." I might just have to get a new bigger harddrive because of it.

Normally I'd be watching Sony's conference too but cable in my area doesn't have G4 for some retarded reason, and I don't feel like going to the library and getting kicked out for making noise out of my computer. I'll just have to get the recap when it's all over.

Boring...

I rather they get rid of the crap early...

Ooh, Uncharted 2... this should be good.
