Posted March 23, 2009 I hope new Zelda Pokemon G/S Remakes and a new Mario and Animal Crossing DSi Ware game. Animal Crossing for DSi is not a bad guess at all, as I'm sure I remember the game's creator saying there could possibly be two on DS. Combine that with the fact that Wild World sold well and they want people to buy the DSi, and I would say this is not unlikely at all. Iwata's keynote is entitled "Discovering New Development Opportunities". What could fall into this? My theory is they want to push the DSi, so I'm expecting a big DSi exclusive. I'm hoping for Metroid Dread, but it'll probably be a new Brain Training or something similar. There is also a small chance that rumour about a DSi-exclusive Zelda was true. After all, Phantom Hourglass was revealed at GDC a few years ago. They will also want to show developers the benefits of MotionPlus. I predict they'll show the other sports of Wii Sports Resort, but I'd love to see Zelda or Kid Icarus too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 These games that you mention are all cash cows, Nintendo isn't going to limit the market for them by making them exclusive to the DSi. There isn't even anything the DSi can do that effects gameplay really that the older DS can't do. Though I've heard it has a slight spec bump, but probably not enough to justify making them exclusive. I think its more likely that newer 1st party DS games have some features that only work on a DSi. Perhaps playing your own music in the background or something like that.

Posted March 23, 2009 Nintendo are makeing games for both DS and DSi if you want it to be on DSi you get the DSi one not the nomal version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2009 I dont think oyu will see many if any dsi exclusive games.. Why alienate the current ds audience? At that stage you may as well call the dsi the ds2.. Whereas downloable content is likely but it won't be anymore than the shite nintendo offers for wiiware. pokemon range and the like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 There have been some pretty decent Wii Ware games. Mostly all 3rd party, but there's no reason 3rd parties aren't going to use DSi Ware. 3rd party support is already great on the DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 I want downloadable content for Phantasy Star Zero through DSiWare. Would be pretty cool, can't have enough areas to quest about in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 I don't think anyone at Nintendo ever said that. You never now Nintendo did it for Animal Crossing Wii so they might do the same for DSi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 DSware is simply a new avenue for small games- like the vast amount of stuff on WiiWare, it'd not prove profitable for the DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 Pie charts, line graphs & statistics But I'd rather hope for first party WiiWare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 I think the news is whats already been posted on N-Europes news section...DSiWare downloadable GBA, Gameboy games..thats quite big news really..so i'm not expecting much else! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 Hopefully some sneak previews to what E3 will be showing, something to tease us or something and not be kack at the end when revealed at E3. Hope something about Wii Storage is revealed to be fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23, 2009 Considering Nintendos new stupid policy about not announcing games until just before release, it's fully possible they'll announce some game that'll be released before E3. Nothing big though, probably just a batch of new instruments for Wii music and some crappy waggle game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 24, 2009 What did they do? That post doesn't make sense. They made 2 Animal Crossing games one with Wii Speak and one without. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 They made 2 Animal Crossing games one with Wii Speak and one without. Eh? They're the same game, the exact same game. Only one is bundled with WiiSpeak and one without. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 Haha. Animal Crossing on the Wii is Animal Crossing. Exactly the same game in every single way aside from WiiSpeak being bundled with one. How you thought there were 2 versions is crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 Supposadely only the first 5 minutes of the conference can be filmed! So theres a embargo on the info...greeaatt...does the news generally spill out this week anyway? or will we have to wait till monday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) 'Ere comes teh megatonz! In terms of highlights coming out of this show, I'd say Nintendo's Iwata keynote is the one that you'll really want to watch (Jeremy will be live blogging it tomorrow morning). I thought he was just going to be talking about Motion Plus and DSi, but it turns out he's going to be announcing quite a few new games -- for Wii, Wiiware, and Virtual Console (and this won't just be Nintendo titles, but also third party stuff). I've already heard about a few of them (including one that makes me all giddy...I can't wait for tomorrow now). Thanks to Deux Michaels over at Gonintendo. http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=8984319&publicUserId=4561231 Edited March 24, 2009 by Noku Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 Damnit, I know what'l happen after this article... 1 - We (or at least, I) get our hopes up 2 - We get brace for impact 3 - Nothing comes 4 - Some of us rage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 I doubt something huge will happen. But hopefully they'll pull their hands out of their asses and get release dates sorted out. Not to mention some new details on core Nintendo franchises they haven't talked about. Who knows? A another new DS? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 Any predictions on what the big game is? I thinking Earthbound, or perhaps 3rd party PS1 games which were rumored at one point. Perhaps MGS or the old Resi games. Or, it could be an old IP remade for Wii Ware, perhaps a new 2D Metroid, Zelda, or Mario game. ... I just re-read that quote and noticed that it also said Wii games. Now I'm slightly more excited. Is the embargo just until next week, or until E3 like last years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mainly for a crap load of third party titles, but even Nintendo seem to have a load of announced stuff that seems to be doing absolutely nothing. Wii Sports Resort? Sin and Punishment 2? But anyway, GDC really isn't the place. I'm not even going to use a throw-away remark like "I have a small inkling that this year may be slightly interesting".... not after last E3. Just forget its happening - that's superb logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2009 These are just fun predications! but i'm still going for a 'Professor Layton' Wii...and because PilotWings, Ice Climbers and PIT have been rumoured for ages...one of those..my guess is 'PilotWings' purely because it would suit both a hardcore and casual market. DSi info and Wii storage solution is a MUST now..we've waited long enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
