Nintendo does it hardcore at E3

Should have done this last year.

That's not a new title, Kryptinite, but that would be quite nice, especially for SLiFE. Come back to us, SLiFE! Come back!

All right, so, we have rumors of a new Kid Icarus, a new Donkey Kong, a new Pikmin, the reveal of the new Animal Crossing, the revival of Project H.A.M.M.E.R.- who's putting money on any of those?

I'm calling this: A Jet Set Radio game using the Wii Balance Board.

As a sidenote, the opera scene in FF6 was awesome.

Animal Crossing is definitely up there. Only the hardest of hardcore could truly master AC. Pedestrian gamer simply don't have the patience for it.

What else? I'm hoping a new Metroid 2D.



Oh and isn't Rockman and Forte/Mega Man and Bass= Mega Man 9?

"Metroid 2D"

This would be greatness.

What makes you such a hardcore Nintendo fan? Anwser me honestly.

I.ve been playings since I was little, and even owned all of the Nintendo systems, yet I don't defend them at all cost. You continue to defend them even when they are shoving a cock in your throat and then beating you with a 2X4 afterwards for not swallowing.

"Oh and isn't Rockman and Forte/Mega Man and Bass= Mega Man 9?"

Nope. It's a gaiden of sorts, or a MM 8.5. It was never officially Mega Man 9.

"I.ve been playings since I was little, and even owned all of the Nintendo systems, yet I don't defend them at all cost. You continue to defend them even when they are shoving a cock in your throat and then beating you with a 2X4 afterwards for not swallowing."

Believe or not, lots of people love their Wiis, myself included. In fact, of all my hardcore video game friends (people who have owned systems in ever generation, played games for decades, play all the time, and follow game news), only one has a PS3 (6 have Wiis). He just bought the PS3 for MGS4 because he's an insane MGS fan. Only my one buddy who NEVER plays videogames has a 360.

We all like different things. If the PS3's your thing, go for it. I don't care. But I love Smash Bros. I love Mario Kart. I love Mario Galaxy. I love Super Paper Mario. I love No More Heroes. I love the Metroid and Zelda series. Heck, I even like playing Wii Sports when I have lots of friends over.

Don't act like throwing some sort of "d00d im hardcore" card around gives you the right to be a flaming fanboy.

I think they'll finally announce Wii Chores.

I like you. You always have a great arguement, and thats what I was wanting. Im bored at work and its a slow news day.

Do you find any interest in games like Fable, Lost Oydessy, Ratchet & Clank? When I played the Future Tools of Destruction and MGS I was amazed at the level of detail in the games. Do you not like PS3/360 games because you think good graphics don't equate a good game?

Wiisports 2 with tetherball please

Funny story about Dr Kawashima. My wife was playing some Brain Training on the bed when my 2 year old niece was over. She sat on Anna's lap whilst she was using the DS and said the "man scared her". Two seconds later, a deluge of tears. Apparently the disembodied head in Brain Training is traumatising our youth.

"I like Nintendo. I like their business model. I like the Wii. I like their games. I don't care about paying $50 for online or XBL, or "hi-deff graffix", or "I only play mature non-kiddy games with gratuitous gore, sex, and profanity". I want my game machine to be just that--a game machine, not a media hub that costs $400+. I want games that are fun, and that's what the Wii offers me."

Im amazed. I would think you would have a completely different perspective on games after playing them for so long. See, im the opposite. I love watching games grow into beautiful pieces of cinematic art. MGS4, Bioshock & Lost Oydessy are excellent examples. Look, I would rather pay 400 dollars and get more for my money than pay 250 and get shorted. Also, High Def graphics doesn't always mean the game will suck. Graphics will always control our mood and emnotions more than a controller could.

They'd better hurry up, I'm selling mine when I finish No More Heroes :P

First of all, don't compare the Wii to the PS3 or the 360; the Wii is a completely different beast, and if you are buying one, you should expect a completely different experience than what you can get on the 360 or PS3.

Also, I'm hoping for Kid Icarus, a new Metroid, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Pikmin 3, F-Zero, and a Wii Star Fox. Also, at least a trailer for a new Zelda or Mario Galaxy.

Lost Odyssey, maybe. I've historically loved RPG's, but I play them less and less. I'm actually more excited about Fallout 3 for the PC than any of the console RPG's coming out soon. I might get Mass Effect for the PC. We'll see. My brother is playing Fable, and, while he is enjoying it, he didn't imply it was all that fantastic. I own Oblivion and Bioshock for the PC though, and both were good. Bioshock kept making me nauseous, however, with the closed environments. I just can't play much more of it, sadly. It seems to great too....

Essentially, I don't think graphics are everything. I get more excited when I play Super Paper Mario and see all the crazy stuff they do with it than when I play Crysis (which I have). I love gameplay. I go gaga for gameplay.

I just haven't seen the 360 or PS3 have enough that sets them apart from the PC or the PS2. The best games for them seem like graphically updated PS2 games. Sure, a few of the Wii's games are comparable to their GC predecessors (SSBB without the solo mode, Mario Kart Wii, Metroid), but I didn't have a Gamecube. On top of that, I think they're starting to go places they didn't go before. Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy, despite the fact that they are both Mario games, are unique, incredibly fun experiences. Games that properly utilize the Wiimote really don't have equivalents elsewhere. Regardless, as I had no GC, it's all new to me.

Meh, it's more a discussion than a war. We both have time to kill at work, haha.

Kid Icarus is popping up in like everyone's predictions. Is this really feasible?

I'd like to see a new Star Fox. I guess there were a few for Gamecube, but I'm under the assumption that I'm not missing a lot by avoiding them.

Im a broke bastard too, but paying 10 more dollars a game won't make you much more broke. It was the wiimote that ruined those games for me. When I played TP, the contols were horrible and most of the time I had to shake the nunchuck three of fours times just to do a Spin attack. Pressing a button would have been better.

"I just haven't seen the 360 or PS3 have enough that sets them apart from the PC or the PS2"

Look, you might as well call the 360/PS3 a PC. Shit, even on the PS3 you can instal Linux. Also, MGS4 woudn't have been able to run on last gen hardware, but SSBB & Mario Galaxy could.

"Essentially, I don't think graphics are everything. I get more excited when I play Super Paper Mario and see all the crazy stuff they do with it than when I play Crysis (which I have). I love gameplay. I go gaga for gameplay."

Im the opposite. I played Super Paper Mario, and yes it was fun, but it was super easy and there was a ton of backtracking. Cyrsis, is fun because of the physics and graphics.

"Games that properly utilize the Wiimote really don't have equivalents elsewhere."

I want you to show me these games, because all of the dumb games I have played have crappy controls that would be better on a 360/PS3 pad. You guys are crazy to think shaking and waving your arm is so much better than just pressing a button.

I don't know. I think Wii Sports, No More Heroes, WarioWare, and Mario Party all make great use of the Wii remote. True, most of those are multiplayer party games, but, you know what, they're super duper fun with friends over.

"Look, you might as well call the 360/PS3 a PC. Shit, even on the PS3 you can instal Linux. Also, MGS4 woudn't have been able to run on last gen hardware, but SSBB & Mario Galaxy could."

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here. I mean, if they're basically a PC, why would I want them? I have a PC. It's a good gaming PC. I can run Crysis on highest settings. Why buy another one? Also, so what about running last generation hardware? My favorite PC game right now is Europa Universalis 3: In Nomine. It can run on 4 year old pc's. Do you think I care?

Wii BeerPong, but only if it gets you drunk.

Odama 2 with balance board support, yeah this time you've got to dance too.

PIKMIN 3!!!

I think that only Animal Crossing might have the potential to make my Wii worth owning now.

"*prepares for a cutesy Kid Icarus flight lesson game with motion controls* Do Want? Maybe, but doubt it."

Pilotwings?
