There's been many a year where I've hoofed it out of a Nintendo press conference feeling let down, wishing I had heard more that was relevant to my interests. After all, if they were going to f*ck me and leave me hanging, they could have at least fed me breakfast.
As a result, many a Nintendo fan has developed a jaded feeling about their announcements, but especially after the release of the stellar Punch-Out!! remake, I found I still had a flicker of hope for the future of the famously happy company. Not surprisingly, Chad Concelmo shared my feelings of optimism, so we decided to have a little chat about what we were expecting from tomorrow's press conference. Check out the video after the jump -- hope you enjoy it!
I've been a little interested in buying a Wii lately, but a Star Tropics remake, if handled well, would force my hand and I would buy one as soon as possible.

I too am an F5-whore when it comes to Dtoid.
Anyway, Epic 3D video intro is epic! With regards to the video, I'm not holding my breath for anything special from Nintendo since they screwed up last year, though I of course want them to suceed this E3. If they make a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy that would be perfect, but another New Super Mario Bros wouldn't be a bad thing either.
Seriously guys you need a more directional mic or better yet use clip-on mics. You're getting far too much ambient noise in a very a large room with too much background noise. It overwhelmed much of what you were saying.
It feels like the sufficient amount of years has passed for a new Zelda announcement to be made. (five years since Twilight Princess in 2004!) I will look forward to it.
My Crystal Ball of Announcements Relevant Exclusively to Me (I Dunno About You Other Guys) tells me Mario & Luigi 3 will get a US release date, and that, as usual, the third parties will be tasked with picking up the slack on both systems in the meantime.
I swear it is so weird seeing what you guys look like in real life speaking as a RFG fanboy. The first time I heard the show I mentally pictured Chad as Hispanic & I have no friggin' idea why.
I <3 you two so hard. I hope you are right. I hope Nintendo pulls out the big guns this year. I'm getting kind of tired of being excited about 1 game a year from them.

Oh well, nice vid. I'm pulling for a remake of Star Tropics as well, Chad.
I love these videos, but maybe you guys should invest in a camera stabilizer.
While Colette is short, she's very intense in person.
She scares the living shit out of me.
OR! Make up a motto and recite it every time you enter a room, like Team Rocket.
And it needs to be on youtube.
I should see if they have Wonder Twin rings on ebay/amazon. =D
Great stuff. Beats watchin' the morning news. ^_^
Don't apologise, I just wanted to know so that I could be sure it wasn't me skipping my goat medicine for the past week!
I notice that a lot some days.
Mostly because at work I refresh this page every 30 seconds.
BTW you guys should do more videos like this.
