Shiggy called you a fatty...and Reggie's massive noggin deals massive damage.
bethecoffeebean - inactive | 12:13 PM on 07.11.2007 7 comments


Just watched the Nintendo presser and I can honestly say it was more boring than the Microsoft one.

Notes of interest
MarioKart for the Wii in 2008 with online play, A quick demo of Metroid Prime which was looking . slickish, Zelda Phantom Hourglass being demoed on stage (interesting enough but not mindblowing)
...not much else unless you count "Wiifit" introduced by the Great Shiggy, which is Ninty's attempt to get even broader market appeal by offering a Fitness experience involving a "Balance Board" (read Scale) which somehow translates pressure to in game responses such as spinning a hula hoop(whee), doing stretches(whoop dee doo) and Headbutting...soccer balls. There was even a Soccer ball heading showdown involving Reggie and Shigeru Miyamoto, of course Reggie won. With his massive Noggin He easily dealt "ultimate damage to weakspot".
Great....

Really I'm gonna be honest and just say that most of the presentation was Nintendo patting itself on the back and showing how theyr'e gonna widen their scope even more dragging in even more casual gamers, while apparently alienating Hardcore Gamers who bought their console to play videogames, and not get in shape or lower their brain age. Boring Nintendo, hopefully Sony's got a good show planned for us....just maybe.

P.S. a hilarious moment was when Reggie showcased how Nintendo was developing their online approach by showcasing all of five (yes 5) games to go online by next year....Wow Reggie...sucks to be you in front of all those crickets.

I thought the "massive damage" joke died off a few months ago...a year has gone by and people are still using it?

FO SHAME!

Plus, thoughts of lack of claps is cause it wasn't open to public and pretty just reporters.

I got chills when they announced, showed, talked about the Wii Blaster for a bit...Don't know why, maybe it was Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Wii Zapper could be a cool toy to play with. Would definately change how you play a FPS, if they ever really release any good FPS's on the Wii. Mario Kart, Brawl, Galaxy and Star Fox are what I'm really wanting.

I'll have to agree with you. Other than Wii Mario Kart, all I really cared about was finding out that I won't need a Wii until December when Smash Bros. comes out. Where are the real games Ninendo?

i wil cut some off before they say it...NOT all FPS will be able to use the Wii Zapper like Metroid Prime 3...

Metroid Prime 3 requires TWO independ hands for control, this is more essential one controller with 2 hands in certain positions....
