Yeah, used, not had. Used. As a bioterror weapon.

Zelda: Twilite Princess is now a Wii launch title.

Ok, I've been watching the demo and this game will rock more then anything else.

I can't say I'm surprised at the change of platform, but I'm a tad disappointed.  Just means we'll have to wait longer to play it.  I wish I could see Nintendo's E3 conference, but Gamespot's overloaded right now, and I can't get it elsewhere.  I'll have to read up on it tonight.

[Spriggan]

I connected once I got to work so I was in for about 30-40 minutes before it started.  Gamespot will have a downloadable version of the conference later today.

[Spriggan]

in DS news there are 100+ titles scheduled for this year including:

Starfox DS
Zelda DS
Crystal Cronicles
FF3

I know that I'm stoked for wifi Starfox combat.

Well this is a huge dissapointment, Nintendo has decided to not give a price or release date for the Wii today.

[Spriggan]

Besides no price or release date the other big disappointment from Nintendo's conference was no info on the new Smash Bros. game.  Well it looks like Nintendo was keeping something under their hat, which also might mean they'll still announce a price and date (joystiq mentioned they were told their price of $250 was wrong).

Anyway all the usual characters plus:

Wario
Pit (from kid Icarus.  Nintendo also mentioned they're interested in making a new Icarus game too!)
Suit-less Samas
And Sold Snake......Cool.

There are other 3rd party characters Nintendo is working on getting, which has all the fan boys hoping Sonic is one of them.

I've been by far the most impressed with Wii at E3.  I think Nintendo's making a huge comeback, buzz-wise.  Of course, I was already pretty interested in it before E3, too.  (And the name is growing on me like mold on a three week old orange.)  PS3 has been a big disappointment so far.  I'm actually leaning more toward getting a 360 instead of a PS3 as a second system (after Wii).

I think its funny you created two threads for PS3 and Xbox but not a new one for the Wii, but yes I too have been impressed by Wii at E3. Very Impressed. Now I just need mario cart and Im all set.

[Spriggan]

I didn't create a new one for the Wii since there was allready a discussion thread for the game system on page one, the PS3 and 360's threads are all back a bit.

[Spriggan]

Apperntly everyone thinks you need to buy a Wii including Microsoft and Sony who both have touted how great an idea it is to by Nintendo's new system along with theirs.

Well played Nintendo

I think that's hilarious.  So much for cutthroat tactics against Nintendo--it's almost like both sides are now saying they're fighting for second.  Of course, what they probably mean is that if people buy two systems, they'll buy theirs AND a Wii.  Still, Nintendo might really benefit by having Microsoft and Sony catfighting so much.
