Kid Icarus: Uprising on 3DS. Graphics are near-Wii level. It's what Sakurai's been working on since Brawl. Might be hard for left-handers to play, since it uses the slide pad (analog nub) and stylus. Air and land battles -- Pit can't fly normally, but he gets the power for a few minutes at a time to fly to the next ground battle location. Decent voice acting.

Nintendogs + Cats 3D. Iwata Asks: Facial recognition added to some extent -- tilt your head and the puppy tilts his head; working on having them recognize the face of their owner. Better graphics -- they have fur now, making them much cuter.

3rd party support: Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Samurai Warriors, Saints Row, some kind of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games at some point, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, Assassin's Creed, DJ Hero, RIIIIIIDGE RACER, and Metal Gear Solid. Kojima says the 3DS will make games as a whole evolve into something new.

Fingerprints got in the way of 3D, so top screen is 3D and bottom screen is touch. PSP-like analog nub (looks like, but only on the left. D-pad has been pushed down quite a bit. 1 camera on the inside, 2 on the outside -- take 3D pictures. Can play 3D Hollywood movies, though no specific plans are being announced this week (on the one hand, they won't be getting any Sony Pictures movies, but on the other hand, they might end up getting every other studio, since there's no other affordable way to watch 3D movies outside of theaters yet (unless Sony announces a 3D PSP today)). Tag mode is on all the time now, no longer game-dependent. Also has some kind of WiiConnect24-like thing, apparently. Iwata suggested in post-show Iwata Asks that Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon support new tag mode. Motion sensor and gyro.

That motherboard was legit. Top screen wide and a little bigger than the bottom.

The 3DS on stage and on the screen is two-tone: black or silver on the top, DSi-ish aqua on the bottom. The one in the Iwata Asks videos and that they had for hands-on experiences looks like it's all one color. Multiple colors at launch maybe? Glossy finish on inside and outside.

Iwata mentioned in post-show Iwata Asks that it's easier to fly through hoops in Starfox now with the 3DS. No announcement of a Starfox 3DS, though.

Epic Mickey has a level that's the first level from Mickey Mania.

Skyward Sword looks like Twilight Princess but cel-shaded. No more Real Is Brown. Not coming out in 2010 anymore. Maybe only eight items.
From the post-show Iwata Asks: Miyamoto wanted to have Link holding his sword up in the air on Epona in Twilight Princess, but they couldn't make it feel right. WM+ is to holding your sword up as the SNES is to Yoshi.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn isn't a 3DS game. My girlfriend'll be happy about that, since she just got a DS for the first time a couple months before the 3DS was announced.

Can't wait for Donkey Kong Country, though I admit I was half-expecting Retro to make it first person again.

Kirby's Epic Yarn?  Epic win.
Donkey Kong Country Returns?  Cool - The Chef will like that.
We've known Metroid: Other M was coming since last E3, but that doesn't really make it any less awesome, especially since it takes place after Metroid II and Super.
Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded should be interesting, but I'm still miffed that Birth by Sleep is apparently exclusively a PSP title.
Yay for inFAMOUS 2.  This will be positively electric.

Well, time to look at Ubisoft's lineup.  It'll probably be more Tom Clancy stuff and a new game with those obnoxious Rabbi--HOLY CRAP ON TOAST AN ACTUAL RAYMAN TITLE

Steel Diver is described as “New submarine-navigation game from Nintendo.” Are they finally turning that one DS tech demo into a game? Pilotwings Resort takes place on Wuhu Island.

Mariokart on Wuhu Island? (other screenshots have normal courses; it's not all on Wuhu Island)

From what I've gathered, this will be a remake of KH1 with playable Riku and Nobodies.  Not that anyone but me cares.

EDIT: New Other M gameplay footage?  Anyway, using the Super Metroid intro theme without actually using the full theme like they do - just doing the background instead of the full fanfare - is disgraceful and I wish they'd stop.  First it happened in Metroid Prime during the intro cutscene, then every time you entered the cockpit in Corruption and now the trailer.  Where's that epic, victorious sounding horn section?  Also, and more to the point, earlier trailers (which gave us more/better glimpses into Samus' voice actor and the story in general) seemed better to me.

It should be noted that I am not excited for GoldenEye. It looks nothing like the original. It even lacks Pierce Brosnan.

I am however veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery excited for DKC Returns. It looks almost EXACTLY like what a new DKC should look like.

2. It's a crossover with motion control.

See, it has Leonard Nimoy in it.  So I can't dislike it.  On the other hand, Willa Holland is a terrible voice actor if that trailer is any indication.

It's not the fact that the trailer itself is good; it's more of a reminder of Squeenix's stupid, stupid decision to release a PSP-only KH title that's an entirely different game than their DS-only title.  It's the same mentality that's keeping the Final Mix editions in Japan and I hate Squeenix for it.

Only when I don't have the system in question the exclusive is part of a franchise that has never been released on the system in question, but has been on a rival company's system.  I have the same problem with 358/2 Days being a DS exclusive and feel sorry for the PSP owners who won't get a chance to play it.  But as far as I can tell, Birth by Sleep is shaping up to be rather superior to Days, so I don't feel as sorry for PSP users.

I'm really hoping that this will get the PS2 port treatment like Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier did.


...so, uh, how about that other trailer I linked to?  The one with Rayman in it, but no Rabbids?

It's a few posts late now, but games that are exclusive to an unpopular system that a lot of the people who would be interested in said games don't have (the PSP) instead of systems that everyone and their mother has (the DS and PS2) are bad. So are region-limited special editions with more content.

About the OoT 3D thing: it'll be another cool option (once again, assuming I even get a 3DS).  Better graphics and fewer graphical and sound glitches than when playing it on Wii64 (I hope).

I just started replaying OoT this morning.

Now I'm feeling like waiting it out, since I've been wanting a remake for years, just for the improved framerate.

The title is Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Same, except for me that game is Dariusburst rather than Kingdom Hearts.

Guess which one is more likely to get a PS2 port? Guess where a potential PS2 port of either game probably wouldn't be released?

Donkey Kong Country Returns is easily the best game of the show. Retro Studios has proven their worth with Metroid Prime and I completely trust them in rejuvenating the DK franchise and bringing it back to the top like it once was.

Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kid Icarus Uprising look great as well. Nice to see them do something new with Kirby and Pit getting some follow-up to his Brawl appearance.

Sony's conference was dull, but new Twisted Metal has me interested.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I'm still kind of surprised Sony didn't pull a PSP3D out of their butts. Nintendo has a huge opportunity here with 3D movies. Until there's a PSP3D, the only options for watching 3D movies again are a $3,000 Sony TV or a <$200 3DS. And since most 3D movies so far are gimmicky kid's movies, the cheaper option is going to be much more popular when parents are doing Christmas shopping. Nintendo could end up with a virtual monopoly on 3D movies, barring Sony movies of course.

I'm just hoping the battery life is good. In the roundtable, Miyamoto said, when pressed on it a bit (he only wanted to talk about software there, not hardware), that they're hoping to match the DSi's battery life. I was wondering the other day if part of the DSi's purpose was to get us used to lower battery life. One more reason I really should wait for the 3DS Lite, though I know I won't.

I'm hoping we'll see some better graphics on the Wii now. Kid Icarus looks better than most stuff on the Wii. Galaxy 1 and 2 clearly showed that it's possible to do better graphics than that, but until now, virtually no developers have taken advantage of it. Maybe the possibility of their console game being outperformed by a concurrent handheld game will shame them into doing better. The other possibility, though, is that they just stop developing for the Wii, figuring there's not much point in it when the 3DS can do graphics about as good and has motion controls and cameras and WiiConnect24 and Miis and is pretty close to the same MSRP as the Wii. Which makes it kind of weird that there hasn't been any mention whatsoever this year about the Vitality Sensor, since that still makes the Wii unique. I have a feeling we might finally see a new Wii at the next E3. But not a WiiHD, or at least not just that. It probably will have about 360-level graphics, but it's got to have some new feature to make it stand out, which probably won't be 3D.

I would get very nervous if they came out with a new system because I'm cheap and broke and I'm already going to have to pick and choose which games I really want and which ones I'm not prepared to spend money on.

This looks like it should have been an entirely new property. There's pretty much no Kirby gameplay shown in the trailer and where's my awesome Kirby music? What did Nintendo think they had to lose by not making this a Kirby game?
That was a joke.

Sales and a chance to change up a formula that was in danger of getting stale.

Seriously, would the game be any better if it was simply the DS Kirby games on a home console?
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

By making it a Kirby game, Wikipedia finally got something to put on the Kirby (video game) article that's been up since they announced a GCN Kirby six years ago, much like the Donkey Kong Wii article that's been up since before the Wii was released.

Probably the same thing that happened to Duke Nukem Forever.

Playing games is about playing games with my friends, and I want to know what my other friends are playing online. And that's going to give me the ability, and it's also going to let me know that - sports scores, because I'm interested in sports, exchanging achievements with other players. Because when you look at DS penetration rates, there are going to be a lot of friends to talk to and communicate with.
Can it download sports scores via WiFi automatically?  Does he mean "achievements" like on 360?  And voice-chat?

"Achievements" probably refers to nonspecific accomplishments. Like, you can stand three feet from your friend and send him a Wi-Fi message about your high scores.

ShadowBrian you're thinking of the Brown Note, a specific pitch that vibrates your organs and makes you involuntarily poop your pants. Not that any of you need outside help to do that.

I'm not sure if that's what Glorb meant, although he could have just made a typo.

« Reply #78 on: June 19, 2010, 02:27:33 PM »
That's what I thought at first too. I had typed up what a Brown Note was, but bobman37 said it more concisely. But there is such thing as a "Brown noise".

Either way, I still don't understand how it relates to 3DS not recommended to kids 7 or under.

I saw some sort of 3D Titanic film at the Titanic exhibit a long time ago. It worked, it was 3D, it was cool, but I was getting a headache shortly afterward. Either that or I was tired having heavy goggles strapped to my face.

I love it when people fall back on Mythbusters so they don't have to prove anything themselves. Not that that neccesarily applies here (I don't actually think the Brown Note/Noise is real, FYI), but people always pull that [dukar]. Even worse is when they just say Mythbusters proved/disproved it when in reality they never had it on the show.

You miss my point. People will use Mythbusters as some sort of instant "I win!!!1" when it comes to a discussion of whether or not something is real. This is in spite of the fact that the show often does experiments under ridiculous, unrealistic conditions that are often different from the myth itself (or at least from its widely-known version). Even going through it a second time as they've been doing lately doesn't always help.

Yes, people do use the Mythbusters card in discussions, but what's wrong with that? Mythbusters tested the myth, there was an outcome, and the discussion is solved. Whoever didn't use the Mythbuster card lost.

If you're annoyed by the people who always use the Mythbusters card, even if the Mythbusters never even tested that particular myth, then I agree. That's stupid.

I also agree that sometimes the show gets it wrong and tests the myth using inaccurate circumstances, but that's a rare case. I'd say 95% of the time they test the myth legitimately, bust or confirm it, then ramp it up to massive exploding levels anyway.

They rarely test the actual myths, though. They either pick an obscure variation of the myth and treat that as the version everyone seems to know, or tweak it themselves into a version compatible for debunking on TV. It's a great show, yes, but not the definitive source for whether or not elements of the world around you are real or not.
