Well, I’m off again. That was shit.

I’ll be back once Sony are done.

Really, really poor.

Worst one I’ve seen for ages. That Wii Music demo where they all played together was embarrassing for all involved.

I took a shot of my private stash of illegal alcohol every time they said “Paradigm”. I’m now utterly bladdered.

wtf? Where’s the bloody news? Did they forget to turn up?

That was genuinely terrible. I can’t believe it, especially after last night.

The Wii is dead as a games console.

It’s now just a ‘must have’ accessory for the iPod generation.

We have not forgotten about the core gamer!

We have not forgotten to change the definition of a core gamer either!

That was awful.

“Pikmin 3 : Pikmiins

Just like Pikmin but with Mii faces on the Pikmin and added waggle controls.”

With some of the Miis I’ve got, I’d be having nightmares for weeks.

+1 for Pilotwings – the controller is screaming out for it FFS. I think WiiSports 2 should be a given too.

F-Zero Wii? Star-Fox Wii? Chrono Trigger/Chrono Chross sequel on Wii?

Tiger… you’re on the list.

hopefully something for the “hardcore” crowd would be nice.
in fact they should do a section for casual where crap like animal crossing gets announced and then after that comes the decent stuff like Yoshi’s Island 3. (yes, i know YI3 isnt announced).

i know i sound a bit bitter but christ there’s so much shit on the wii. conversely, there’s loads of great games on the wii if i were a casual gamer.
which im not.

Show Pikmin 3 or there will be blood. I promise it.

Uh oh. I’m reliably informed that a content embargo on Shaun White’s Snowboarding lifts at the same time as the conference starts.

I’m fully expecting some horrible Zelda reinvention monstrosity that’s in no way, shape or form a Zelda game. And thoroughly looking forward to some wailing and gnashing of teeth.

By: Heitzu

I going for the following to be mentioned at some point.

Wii Music.
New Kid Icarus for DS/Wii.
More details on Animal Crossing Wii.
Possible New IP.
Loads of stats showing how awesome they are compared to the others even though the others also show stats saying their the best…
And my wildcard shall be a zany crossover RPG featuring Nintendo’s most popular characters.

I’m taking bets on a new “traditional” Mario or Zelda game. Pat’s bookie says, “Not likely.”

I know I’d like to see a new Pilotwings game.

Wii Sports 2. To go along with that revised remote gizmo.

Wii Music’s a cert, I reckon.

There may well be charts, and figures. You never know, one of those could be demoing a new balance board thing, too. This is going to be surprising. Nintendo are the regular unknown quantity.

Punch out! for Wii? SOLD!

When Nintendo first launched the VC I thought they said they would be giving away the games ‘free’ occasionally.

I.e. buy the new Punch Out and get a code for Punch Out NES, buy Mario and get an old mario game for free etc….

I know they are cheap anyway, I just swore I remembered Ninty announcing this at one stage….
