I want games for my DS, not cooking recipes.
I actually thought that's kinda cool. All the new things for the DS, can be applied to the real world. I think Nintendo's efforts to make people realize that video game platforms can be used to help with things in real life.

And plus, being able to order sushi in the middle of a baseball game using your DS? Hell yeah.

Actually the luggage thing can be useful. I've read alot of news reports that ALOT of people keep losing their luggage.
But what if their DS was in the luggage they lost?

The only problem is that nobody eats Sushi at a baseball game :ohwell:

Read some more stuff online. IGN basically bombarded Myamoto with new game questions, and he basically said everyone is working on a new game. Basically, basically basically.

On the drive there what are you going to do in the car?

Any ways any one going to try Hawx? It looks nice but not Wii footage so far
On the drive there... I will play my game boy advanced.... or listen to my iPod. And I myself dont plan on trying hawx. I didnt even know it was available for Wii. I'm just gonna try starfox for the first time when that comes out for wii.

I'm pretty sure they're done, but I think g4 is going to have some Activision thing tonight but that is a different story.

We might get our "hardcore" games tomorrow. Almost all the games said at the press conference are slated for a Spring release. Now keep in mind Wii music didn't Wow a lot of people. Do you think Nintendo will get a profit from 1 Game this holiday?

NO!!!

Yeah. They will get a profit on WiiSports Resort, for many casual gamers and others will buy it just like WiiPlay.

I would like to address all the hate towards WiiSpeak. What's wrong with it. I personally like it more than headsets. Because with headsets it's just one person talking to another which sucks when you have multiple friends together on one console against another group of your friends.

Also for people who say no good game will come out that uses it search The Conduit, for that looks like an extremely good wii-exclusive that will probably use it. Also Call of Duty: World at War. And they will probably make a F-zero game and Starfox that could use it during online play.

But, the Conduit thread on this website got closed for on-topic discussion, so that's probably a no on discussing it here. But that's something else for another day.

That is one advantage of WiiSpeak. It's good for a party of people, but what if you try to have a private discussion using it (ex: your computer is down so you can't IM), and don't want your parents to intrude? It has its' positives and its' negatives.

You can simply move it and turn the volume down on the tv. By the way I didn't necessairly[Spelling(I'm stupid)] mean search it on this site, but thanks for the update.

Tried out the video service tonight. Holy ****.

There are TONS of awesome movies, but they lied about pricing. All the HD rentals are $4.50 (cheaper the Blockbuster) and SD rentals are $2.99. To buy a movie in SD, it's about $9.99. This whole section is REALLY well done, and very streamlined.

Television shows were great because all episodes are $1.99.

They also have anime, but I don't watch that, so I have no idea how much it costs.

Yeah, Sony did well.

I find it funny how Nintendo did a truly bad conference in they eyes of many, but people here are spinning it to look good, while Sony had a fairly solid conference, and people call it lackluster, and Microsoft had a truly knockout conference and people ignore it. Go figure.

I'm assuming the last part was aimed at me and I don't think Nintendo had a very good conference I felt dissapointed with their lack of games for core gamers.
