[Herr Mafflard]

UN-LEPER nintendoosbooger - I want only his commentary and inane extrapolation on this historic event

[Great Rumbler]

Metroid Other M

[tiesto]

"Metroid™: Other M, the incredible new Metroid game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote™ controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic Metroid fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages."

Glad to hear it's gonna be a bit more 2D in terms of play, the MP series wasn't really my cup of tea.

[TripleA]

Nintendo delivers as usual.

[Third]

SMG2 and Alan Wake in one month 

[Madrun Badrun]

10:36: Hey -- one final, very promising note: Nintendo of America staff just tracked me down and told me not to worry -- that orchestrated music is being implemented into the final version of Galaxy 2. Very good news indeed!

[Third]

Damn, awesome. I'm totally becoming an nfag.

So mandatory motion controls are pretty much confirmed at this point?

[WrikaWrek]

Yawn

Yea, sounds like it'll work kinda similar to SPM, but at least it's pointer controls and not waggle. Pointer controls are the true strength of the Wii controller, imo... waggle is just awkward and unnecessary.

Distant: no concrete date for DQ9, just some time this summer. I'm still wondering when the US DQ6 will come out, it's the only game in the series I haven't beaten.

[M3wThr33]

$190 for DSi XL. There's no fucking way I'm paying that. It's $10 less than a Wii.

[magus]

i can't believe you guys are whining about the lack of orchestrated music,did you see mario drill the giant robo? and punching the giant dragon? there is a reason NSMB sucked and it was because it lacked this kind of stuff! do we want to go back to the crappy "WA WA" nsmb music?

[Raban]

$190 for DSi XL. There's no fucking way I'm paying that. It's $10 less than a Wii.

bubububu bigger screens!

[M3wThr33]

Dude, there's no way it cost more than $50 to make that.

[Raban]

Dude, there's no way it cost more than $50 to make that.

I can't imagine anyone even thinking to buy this. The PPI on those screens is terrible. I wouldn't get a DSi XL if it was for free.

I think I'm the only person excited for Light Trax

http://www.gamespot.com/events/nintendo10/video.html?sid=6251832

The GBA game was my second favorite bit generation game behind Orbital.  It also looks like a good Wii version as opposed to the not-as-good Wii version of Orbital.

Archie sold his wii for coke? Seems like a good trade.

[archie4208]

Protein powder, and I still came out ahead.

I want to see it in person first. After spending time with the PSP, Palm Pre, and pretty much every other device on the planet, the DS looks fucking ugly and their new model makes it MORE apparent and RAISES the price? Nintendo just doesn't give a shit anymore.

[MoxManiac]

Galaxy 2 looks amazing and metroid sounds promising.

Wii is actually sounding promising this year
