Since I have a Wii, I'll talk about some of the points that made my ears prick up about Nintendo, even for the wrong reason.

*Wii Speak. It's a microphone for Wii. Wow.

*Animal Crossing City Folk. Never been a fan of Animal Crossing, but it uses Wii Speak.

* GTA: China Town Wars. On Nintendo DS... Lolwut.

*No announcment of Kid Icarus Wii.

* A new Wii Sports.

*Wii music.

* A Wii sensor enhancer used for God knows what.

The title of that is Miyamoto Almost Confirms Kid Icarus.

See the key word? It wasn't announced.

Wiis kind of suck TBH. They're gimmicky. The only reason people bought them is because of LOZ, Metroid, and brawl, and the only reason Nintendo makes them is because they're afraid that unless they sell consoles, they'll be pussies like SEGA. But what they fail to realize is that if they dropped the console making business, and just created games for the ps3/exbawks, They'd make so much ****ing money, and they wouldn't have to worry about this console wars BS. EVERYone would be happy.

Oi.

****ward.

This is the E3 thread.

Not the Which Console Is Best thread.

Spread your fanboy filth over there, or talk about E3. It doesn't have to be Nintendo.

From what I read, PS3 did the best there. Lots of expansions and tons of new, supposed to be good games.

Funny as how Nintendo is the only console maker that actually makes money from their consoles...

As for E3 I missed Tuesday nights feature, I assume it was Nintendo's night? I did see M$ and their presentation. Seems like their online content/interface is kicking Sony in their arse.

E3 is going to be amazing, PS3 has some great line-ups.

How many of you people have a PS3?

I'm still playing a few Zelda games on the Wii, but when August comes around I'll have a PS3, and I'll leave my Wii up here.

You bet. I haven't been playing any PS3 since I beat MGS4 a while back, but if you want to play something online, I might be interested.

Sounds like a plan, All I really play online is GTA4 and CoD4. And if I'm in the mood, MotorStorm or MGS4.

Also, PSN = PinkPhish.

I'd be up for some CoD4 later, assuming I'm not too rusty. I don't have a mic, though, so don't expect too much conversation.

If you go to http://www.mywii.com.au/ there is a lot of E3 stuff. I wish they made more memory.
When does Wii Sport Resort come out?

There was a new Sonic Unleashed ad at E3.

According to interwebz, the new sensor is so the remote can track movement of your wrist and forearm. Combined with wii fit, the possibility of a virtual reality game opens up.

Also, a sort of sequel to wii sports is coming out. Entitled "wii Resort," the games are about activities you'd do at a beach resort. Such as throwing Frisbees, jet skiing, and I think shuffleboard.

Wii speak is a way of chatting between players in multiplayer. Lets take AC for example. In Animal Crossing Wild World DS, you had to type words out into a touch screen keyboard. But in the wii animal crossing, you can just speak into the wiispeak microphone and the sound will come out of the other players speakers.

Wii music is somewhat like the game "Rockband." By using the wii remote like a drumstick, a guitar pick, or like a tambourine, you can make beautiful music.

Damn I wish I had a wii.

I wouldn't say that. Alot of third-parties made some pretty interesting looking games exclusively for the wii. Like the conduit and madworld. Plus nintendo still had wario land shake and mario super sluggers.
