E3 2010

[Youko]

Yes, and my seats were FANTASTIC, thanks for asking.

Just because you go to E3 doesn't mean you automatically go to the conferences, though. Only had enough qualifications to go to Nintendo's, ergo no Xbox from Microsoft's.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Nice to know Move is doing well, and I apologize if I accidently gave you the impression that I thought you did not handle the tech well.

@finalark, New Starfox Wii please! Lol...yeah...

 

[Fuelbi]

I know, it started with NSMB Wii, then Meroid Other M (which is sorta 2D-Metroid) and now we have new DKC and Kirby. Nintendo, let the retro revivals continue!

The only thing we're missing now is an Ice Climbers remake


EDIT:

Youko, I like you a little better now.

Next time you go to E3 you better call me up

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

XD Nintendo is going to be doing good. How was Other M (I think you said you played it?), I've been curious if it did Metroid justice or not.'

And Gunmaster, what you mean is:

"Please new Starfox that isn't adventure" I love the adventure ones, but the N64 had a originality thing too it, Nintendo already has adventure games, each series needs to be different.

 

[Youko]

It'll do Metroid justice all right. It was the longest demo of the show because you saw the entire opening cutscene, on top of the first section of gameplay (up to that purple tentacle boss). I mean, I miss Prime and I don't think anything can top that, but Other M will be a solid entry. The action was definitely more kick-*** than any Metroid game so far.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Well the thing is, people miss the Super Metroid days and that would be the closest thing we get too it, I suppose. My question is, is the voice acting solid? I really don't want to see them ruin the storyline. They need to expand on the Space Pirate Golden Era (AKA Manga/NES Metroid), but the MP Trilogy marked the downfall perfectly. OtherM/M2/SM mark the slow revival and death, and of course Fusion is aftermath. That being said, Other M seems to be very important (though it's after SM, I wasn't being chronological), and this should be the game Space Pirates die.

So I really hope they don't mess it up storyline wise ><

Oh yeah, from an rpg standpoint, I wondered if you knew anything of DQ9 and Golden Sun, I'm not a DQ fan, but those games looked pretty solid.

 

[Luigitoilet]

How did Zelda control/feel?

 

[Fuelbi]

Question: Why did they name the new Metriod game Other M?

Seems like a bad attempt to make the game mysterious or something

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Question: Why did they name the new Metriod game Other M?

Seems like a bad attempt to make the game mysterious or something

Because it takes place right after Super Metroid. Metroid 2 you kill all the Metroids but 1, and in SM the Space Pirates steal/clone it, and you kill them + the pirates. That being said, all of the Metroids are supposedly dead. (Which is why in Fusion, the X virus returns) However, between SM and Fusion Samus' "lover" (lol ) Adam Makovich or whatever dies, and a lot of things unexplained happen. It's "Other M" because this is the other Mission that happened between those two games, and ultimately, it's the mission the Space Pirates are no more.

 

[Youko]

The voice acting was...iffy on Other M. I think that might be because I miss Jennifer Hale so much as Samus. Then again, they had headphones for that demo that were VERY loud, so that may have affected my opinion on the game's sound a bit.

I really enjoyed Zelda! The motion controls worked rather well, contrary to what the wifi-interfered conference demo would tell you. It still needs some polish, but it'll take a lot of practice to be PRECISE with your sword swings for a Wii game. It certainly took me some getting used to. I personally enjoy the art style, too. Miyamoto was supposedly inspired by French watercolor paintings, and it shows. I prefer to see it as a blend between Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, with far more emphasis on the former. In a gaming world with so many dark brown palettes, it's good to see such a vibrant scheme.


Didn't try DQ9, but I hear good things. Golden Sun was interesting for a newb to the series like me. I personally enjoyed it - it had Phantom Hourglass-like control and you could use Move and Fireball powers.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

There was a voice actor previous to the one now? Well, I'm not uber picky. (I thought FFXII/FFX had good VA, I'm not picky), so as long as it isn't blatantly terrible, I'm okay.

And yeah, the colors of the Zelda game are amazing. I love the combination, it's like the best of both worlds. So do you think this Zelda game will beat TP and set a new bar, like it should?

 

[Youko]

Well, Jennifer Hale (who is a famous voice actress in her own right, like Naomi Hunter from MGS) has been the one who provided Samus' grunts in Prime, Brawl, etc. I think the new voice will just be something to get used to. The acting isn't BAD, it just isn't great either.

I hope Skyward Sword sets a new standard. With some of the new items and the supposed new structure of the game (regarding overworld/dungeons), it has the potential to. I still think it's a little too early to tell, though.

I did not get one thing you just said

 

[finalark]

So, Youko, what was the 3D like on the 3DS?

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I did not get one thing you just said

Figured you wouldn't, but hey, you asked why the title lol.

 

[Youko]

If you've been following E3 news, you know that it's definitely the 3D that jumps out at you...not that inner depth fake-3D like some DSiWare games have. It is truly something amazing to behold as a gamer. The graphics are about on par with the Wii, too. Nintendo is a GENIUS with this though, because you can't really experience it unless you try it for yourself. And then you're HOOKED.

If people ask about the 3D picture-taking, that works very well. Take the picture (already in 3D) with A, and then adjust the depth perception/clarity to your liking with a touch-screen slider before you finalize it.

Nintendo won't be just printing money soon, they'll be DUPLICATING it.

Here is my question: how much do you think it'll cost? Nintendo has never been one to make things cost a ton of money.

I'd assume $150- $200.

 

[Big-Cat]

Actually, Jennifer Hale only provided her voice for the Prime games. Alesia Glidewell, Krystal's VA, provided Samus' voice in Brawl.

I like Jessica Martin so far for Samus. I need to hear more though.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

As long as it isn't terrible. The only VA I absolutely couldn't stand was Cecil from FFIV on the DS >_> Maybe cause I kept thinking of Robin from Teen Titans.... or LLoyd from Tales of Symphonia; it may not have been his fault, but he had Robin's Face every time he spoke D:. (and his cries were terrible)

 

[Youko]

I'd realistically say the 3DS ought to be around $180 by the time it launches, but even if it's $200, I'll still buy it.

My bad on the Samus Brawl goof.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Given the technology they could charge over 200 if they really wanted too, but I can't see them doing it. Nintendo has always had the cheapest consoles/handhelds compared to the other companys, ironically their consoles/handhelds end up doing better, go figure XD.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I doubt they're gonna charge more than the wii. Many parents aren't willing to shell out 200 bucks for a handheld device when they bought a home console for just as much.

Last Question: He admits Pikmin 3 is in production omggg. They didn't forget about it, I'm soooo happpy T_T....

See? He did die because of that

I bet you in the originals, you wouldn't uncurl mid air

Well he spun at the beginning and jumped, maintaining the curl. Maybe after those vertical jumps, the guy canceled it by pressing a button.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

By the way, the PSP is actually a good handheld when I had my old one. You have to take advantage of the PSN functions, not just the UMDs.

With PSN, you can get any form of fun/entertainment. I personally like the demos and downloadable games (which are more fun than any UMD). You can even download PS1 games, like a VC funtion w/ the Wii but on a handheld. You can't do this VC thing w/ the DS, maybe 3DS, but that hasn't been confirmed yet I believe. Would be cool though, but I think Ninty plans on remaking classic titles w/ 3D, but I assume no one cares about this reading your reactions w/ The Sly Collection. You want Sly 4, I want the next big Starfox, they'll both have to wait.

EDIT- @Spire, the guy playing is garbage. He has no idea about the homing attack. If people realised this they would not be whining over such a small graphic detail. No wait, yeah they would, because they're stupid conservatives.

 

[ZIO]

To be honest, he didn't look like he got enough momentum to risen high enough to be above the enemy. there's still a chance he can kill from above.

.... what they hell does political alignment have to do with your opinion on Sonic 4?

 

[ZIO]

That's the joke.

 

[finalark]

That's the joke.

...

Wow, I feel stupid.

Walking away now...

 

[MK26]

"conservative" as is they want to conserve the gameplay mechanics...in other words, theyre the people that go "its different now it sucks" when there's a homing attack added to an old-school-style sonic game.

Nothing to do with political alignment.

EDIT: or its a joke and i got ninja'd?

Wow, what an endorsement. I can't wait especially with Kid Icarus: Uprising being a launch title.

Also, to the people I got all uppity with, I'd like to take this time to aplogise about how I acted the other day. For whatever reason, E3 always makes me irritable and I pretty much go for blood in every debate I get in when it's going on. Maybe my Nintendo fanboyism just overloads my senses; I don't know. Regardless, I'm sorry.

Yeah, that's what I just got.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Man I have moments like that all the time. And didn't the DSi have downloads like VC? I was never sure because the DSi was a filler for the 3DS, but yeah. I love your sig btw, Finalark.

Edit: Nevermind I already said that. Bad memory. I'm considering pre-ordering Kirby Epic Yarn when it gets to be there, not sure though.

 

[Lovely]

Portal 2, Little Big Planet 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Zelda Skyward Sword, Sonic Colors, Dead Space 2 and Killzone 3 is the games I want the most that's been shown in E3. <3

Only question I have is, what is Rage?

Oh I see. I didn't get to see this game in E3 but I heard a lot of positive news about it. I'll check it out when it get's released.

 

[Pluvia]

Definately the best trailer I saw at E3.
