Ganepark32 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yeh. Although I love how they stated it'll be out this year. We've heard that before. If they manage to get it out this year I will actually eat a hat (and this I promise to do. No going back on it). And by out this year, I mean it has to include a release in the english language, so either the US or Europe gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yeah, this is probably the biggest DS title since Phantom Hourglass two years ago. What about GTA:CW? Or do you mean just first party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What about GTA:CW? Or do you mean just first party? Personally, I think PH was bigger than GTA:CW, although, I haven't played GTA:CW yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What about GTA:CW? Or do you mean just first party? Yeah, I was talking about Nintendo. This will be a AAA title in terms of quality and sales. But do you think this announcement makes it less likely they announce a new Zelda for Wii at E3?

Ganepark32 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) I reckon that since Zelda has been announced for the DS, they'll hold back on announcing a new Zelda for the Wii until next year, which is when I would have thought they'd announce it anyway. They have announced it today surely to make room for some of the other titles going to E3 and if Zelda can't fit into what's being shown at E3 then that should mean good things. Right? Look at what happened last time. After Zelda was announced on the DS we got a crap load of Wii stuff at E3 so it seems history may repeat itself this year. edit: ^ urgh.... wish I hadn't bothered reading that. Unnecessarily creating hype over what will probably be nothing big. I may be wrong but why would Nintendo not announce/reveal the big thing during the Keynote and wait till later in the day when it's likely to be announced behind closed doors and embargoed for weeks/months.

D_prOdigy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Multiplatform basically means 360/PS3, doesn't it? People forget that GDC is for all companies and instantly assume it's Nintendo-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I had a cumbersome time keeping up with what was happening during Iwata's conference. Luckily I got invited into a multi-convo on MSN where I nabbed a link to a live blog... sounds like what everyone was doing no doubt, but I was stuck on my mobile phone! Still, I managed to catch the headlines and now its time to see what news has surfaced now sites will have had some time to properly write up what took place. Just before I do that, I think its suffice to say that there was a bunch of huge announcements. I mean we got our storage solution which is what we realistically only hoped we would get. On top of that there's a new Zelda (choo choo!) and I know people might be overlooking it, but the release of the Final Fantasy games on the VC is huge news. Square-Enix said that it would likely never happen as they are content to rerelease the games at retail and milk them to death but Nintendo have turned them around on it. Its a very impressive turn of events. So whats this multi-platform game? The derailed hype train reminds me of the train yard in Final Fantasy VII soooo its gonna be a multiformat remake of FF VII.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've just played catch up now as i've just got in from work and im very pleased with what we got. Storage solution, new Zelda and many a FF game overload. Good times ahead, now bring on E3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Because I love to see people suffer: http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley Was this 'big surprise' Modern Warfare 2? A game most people knew would arrive later this year? A lesson in how to stretch the definition of 'suprise', methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The surprise was the trailer as I don't think anyone expected any form of teaser to appear for a few more weeks yet. No platforms were announced with it though so who knows whether or not the Wii will see a version. As others have said, there is an engine available now so there really isn't an excuse for them to not make it. Trailer was cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Wow, I went into it not expecting anything new to be revealed and we have three big announcements. Not to mention the revelation that Nintendo has (belatedly) listened to its fans and come up with a storage solution. On a side-note, anyone notice how Zelda is being given otherworldly themes recently? Twilight -> Phantom -> Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I saw the Modern Warfare 2 teaser and it didn't really do much for me, as it was only a teaser and didn't really reveal anything other than the game is coming out - and it doesn;t as yet state which platform. I have a horrible feeling it won't come to Wii, but there really isn't any reason it shouldn't. After all COD:WAW has established that these games can become million sellers on the Wii and that the engine works very well. I really want this to happen as COD:WAW is one of my favorite Wii games.

Emasher Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Why could they not do a oricana of time style 3d game Because it probably wouldn't turn out to be as good a game. I'd rather have 2D zelda games on the DS and the 3D ones on the Wii. 3D games still work better on consoles for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktendo Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Why could they not do a oricana of time style 3d game So they could include a manager mode, which doesn't crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
