Hero-of-Time Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 With GDC just a few days away I thought a thread was in order. What would you like to see from the conference? What do you think will be shown? Will we finally get a release day for Brawl? Will nothing new be shown or announced at all? Personally I would like to see some form of release list for us Euro peeps as its getting pretty annoying not knowing when we are getting the big hitter titles such as Smash Bros. I would also like to see an annoucement regarding our "fridge" space issues. Surely with Wiiware titles coming soon a hard drive is in order. Your turn forumites!

Tellyn Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I agree, we NEED a hard drive to be announced before next month. Considering the first WiiWare games are now in pretty much complete and playable forms (I should be getting some beta versions soon) the launch can't be far away, and if they want people to be able to play more than one game at a time, a HDD is the only solution...

Charlie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Is Iwata going to be doing another keynote at this? If so, I predict: 10 minutes on WiiFit sales in Japan 5 or so minutes on Brain Training. A few minutes on Wii sales in comparison to GameCube sales at this stage in their life.

Yeah that'll pretty much be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Release dates, release dates and more release dates! Seriously NoE... Release dates!! Other than that I'd really like to see some more of Wii Music and Mariokart. Not to mention the E3 airplane demo (in other words Pilotwings) and Animal Crossing, like to find out what's going on with those two. Not that bothered about the fridge thing personally, but I guess it would be a good move with Wii Ware around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Is Iwata doing a speech? I'm hoping Sakurai will announce a Brawl Channel and reconfirming the US date and also say the Euro date. Then with the person doing Wii Fit and the other on WiiWare, hoping an estimate for Wii Fit and a HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Shigsy did the speech last year right? I remember everyone got so hyped up and started analysing everything he said. He talked about conquering his wife, gardening, and other useless bits of information. He revealed nothing new, the bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Never the less, we love him. I'm expecting nothing from this to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Never the less, we love him. I'm expecting nothing from this to be honest. We shouldn't expect anything from it, it's a conference for Game Developers rather than the meda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'm expecting to find out about Iwata's mother-in-law's views on current affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think we'll here them announce their next gen console along with confirmation that graphics care to them. I guess Iwata was slightly right when he said Wii games will make you say 'wow' but in the context, 'wow thats a can of shite'. almost all wii games are stuck last gen, although a lot of the time i dont notice because they are so fun.

Tellyn Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I checked up on this, Sakurai's talking about Brawl, and one of the main focusses is Wii Channels and, more specifically, WiiWare. This pleases me, hopefully we'll get a launch date, a release list and confirmation of a HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I expect a couple of announcement, if not now then soon. They need them, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'd hope for a Euro date from Sakurai's speech, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Euro dates on an American event doesn't make sense. I expect more on WiiWare and online. Hopefully something on the space issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 WiiWare and a Hard-Drive info would be nice! erm...oh and details on some other games like Disaster (Is that still alive?) etc.. It's true Nintendo really do have to show us some details on 'new' games, i mean...what in gods name have we 'officially' got to look forward too after Mario Kart,Brawl, Wii Fit?! I mean Autumn, Winter and Xmas 08 is looking sparse for Nintendo games.... Of course it'll be crap, so i'm not looking forward to GDC because of Nintendo this year, all my eyes are on Microsofts conferences first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda_Rulez Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Release dates for us, because it's getting very annoying to be kept in the dark for this long. And a HDD announcement would be nice as well, because with Wiiware coming up, we need one. Would also be good to hear something about the Wii Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, not the Wiiware one.

Meta_Omega Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'd hope for a Euro date from Sakurai's speech, but I'm not getting my hopes up.Q1 2009. Make it happen, Sakurai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Q1 2009. Make it happen, Sakurai. Which will make it out first; Duke Nukem Forever, Brawl, or MGS4 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Or maybe Duke Nukems Smashing Brawl with Metal Gear will beat them all What's the next event after this anyway? E3? If there's a huge gap like that then maybe a mini-announcement or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
