So, I just finished watching the Nintendo Wii press conference. If I had to sum it up in one word it would be “awesome”. It started out with a bang, showing a ton of cool footage and miyamoto dancing with the Wiimote and kept that level of coolness pretty much the entire time.

They showed a pretty cool video reel showing off a lot of cool games that use the Wiimote. After watching those vids I was completely sold on the Wii. The graphics were not as impressive as the other more powerful consoles, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have some real power behind it. Some of the vids like Red Steel looked phenomenal, while others looked more like a Gamecube or Xbox game (though maybe slightly better then either could do). Of course, I am not buying it for graphics at all. The games just looked so much FUN!

The new (well announced a long time ago) Zelda game looks awesome. They demoed it using the Wii and the Wiimote showing how you can use it to control some stuff. It looked sort of half assed to tell you the truth. Mostly just moving your hand around instead of pressing a button, but then again this was added late into the development cycle so you can’t blame them. I am not sure if I will buy it for Gamecube or Wii since the remote stuff was sort of bleh for it.

Overall, I was very impressed with the conference. It made me actually want to buy a Wii right this second. The good thing is we only have to wait a little while longer.

Same thing as the PS3 Press Conference Commentary post below. My friend and I talking as we watched the Nintendo conference. Slightly edited to make it shorter.

LtNeutralX2 (12:51:42 PM): sounds a bit like last years microsoft conference
LtNeutralX2 (12:51:49 PM): talking about getting non gamers
LtNeutralX2 (12:52:22 PM): isnt that the old metroid?
LtNeutralX2 (12:53:31 PM): a lot of this looks like xbox graphics, but they look FUN!
commander115 (12:54:31 PM): mario galaxies looks better then any xbox game

LtNeutralX2 (12:58:34 PM): though the wiimote stuff is sorta half assed in it
LtNeutralX2 (12:58:44 PM): but then again it wasnt designed for it
LtNeutralX2 (1:03:31 PM): oh this is a new metroid, thought it was the old one
LtNeutralX2 (1:03:41 PM): looked the same
commander115 (1:03:56 PM): its running of the mp2 engine
commander115 (1:04:07 PM): not supposed to come out for like a year
LtNeutralX2 (1:04:21 PM): so? game assets still look dated. they have a lot to do in a year
LtNeutralX2 (1:05:08 PM): oh god, project hammer. Does every console have to have a game like that now?
LtNeutralX2 (1:05:19 PM): diaster looks leet
LtNeutralX2 (1:07:22 PM): why arent they showing any footage of these 3rd party games they are listing
commander115 (1:08:07 PM): they are
commander115 (1:08:17 PM): french people have funny accents

LtNeutralX2 (1:09:51 PM): this looks interesting
commander115 (1:09:54 PM): yea
LtNeutralX2 (1:10:20 PM): well Wii def. has a good amount of power, too bad they are not doing HD
LtNeutralX2 (1:15:03 PM): eh DS
LtNeutralX2 (1:15:10 PM): dont care about portable gaming at all
commander115 (1:19:08 PM): new super mario bros is gonna be awesome
LtNeutralX2 (1:19:57 PM): This DS stuff I could not care less about. I bought a Gameboy Color back when it was new, used it like once or twice. Mobile gaming just is not my thing.
commander115 (1:20:41 PM): yea
commander115 (1:20:46 PM): zelda and mario look good though
commander115 (1:20:50 PM): and mario kart ds is awesome
LtNeutralX2 (1:20:51 PM): oh yeah
LtNeutralX2 (1:21:08 PM): for anyone who is into that stuff, its pretty awesome
LtNeutralX2 (1:21:21 PM): i would buy a DS over a PSP if i had to buy one
commander115 (1:21:42 PM): omg yoshi’s island
commander115 (1:21:44 PM): psp was shit
commander115 (1:21:54 PM): its overpriced to
commander115 (1:22:00 PM): and now its only good game is coming to the ps2
LtNeutralX2 (1:22:40 PM): i hope nintendo takes the lead in japan with Wii
LtNeutralX2 (1:22:47 PM): they deserve it
commander115 (1:24:35 PM): They might
commander115 (1:24:38 PM): look at the DS
commander115 (1:24:47 PM): it and the lite are selling so much more
commander115 (1:24:53 PM): then the other consoles
LtNeutralX2 (1:26:35 PM): the virtual console stuff is pretty cool.
LtNeutralX2 (1:31:38 PM): lol to quote someone from TW “Cant understand half the stuff theyre saying, but it sure beats a bunch of metrosexuals jerking off to crappy graphics like sony had.”
commander115 (1:32:31 PM): lol
commander115 (1:33:42 PM): i didn’t win that
commander115 (1:33:43 PM): 🙁
commander115 (1:35:17 PM): that tennis looks fun
commander115 (1:36:17 PM): and miyamoto must be small
commander115 (1:36:21 PM): or that guy is big
commander115 (1:36:56 PM): lmao
commander115 (1:41:08 PM): that was short
LtNeutralX2 (1:41:18 PM): is it over?
commander115 (1:41:23 PM): i guess
commander115 (1:42:13 PM): oh well it was 100x better then sonys boring as bullshit-a-thon

So I just watched it and I must say it’s pretty underwhelming. I was expecting more from Sony. After all their bullshit from last E3 I expected them to at least do something great.

The majority of the games they showed were unimpressive. Heavenly sword looked alright, but nothing the Xbox 360 can’t do and not cool enough to justify buying the console.

Most of the videos shown were pre-rendered CGI again. Not surprising as its typical sony bull. Then they showed a bunch of CG for “future ps3 games”, which probably means that they are barely in development.

The network features pretty much remind me of Xbox live and Xbox live marketplace. They pretty much copied them there. Good luck getting it to work great. Microsoft has 4 years ahead of them in that department.

The controller actually made me laugh. It’s back to basically a dual shock controller that can sense movement like the Wiimote. It’s funny because most people were talking about how funny it would be if they ripped off the Wii controller, and sure enough, they sort of did.

Then there is the price. $600 for the premium console and $500 for the standard. I could buy a Wii and an Xbox 360 for that amount and get better features.

So overall, I don’t see any reason for me to buy a PS3. I am sure glad I didn’t wait for this crap before buying an Xbox 360.

So, a friend and I were watching the Sony conference live and talking about it as it went on. Here is the conversation, slightly edited to make it shorter. You can watch a recorded stream of the video here. Also, here is the Tribalwar thread I talk about once or twice.
LtNeutralX2 (8:00:34 PM): lol they delivered on the promise alright thats why nobodys releasing psp movies anymore
commander115 (8:04:37 PM): rofl
commander115 (8:04:41 PM): psp its terrible

LtNeutralX2 (8:10:24 PM): maybe workstations
commander115 (8:10:52 PM): its overrated
commander115 (8:11:04 PM): using all that power would take tons of work its all just theoretical bs
commander115 (8:11:04 PM): =p
LtNeutralX2 (8:11:12 PM): is there any reason the 360 can’t to 1080p?
LtNeutralX2 (8:11:20 PM): or is it just because it doesnt have hdmi
commander115 (8:11:31 PM): they might support it in the future
LtNeutralX2 (8:11:38 PM): isnt everything rendered internally progressive anyway
commander115 (8:11:42 PM): who has 1080p tv’s though?
commander115 (8:11:47 PM): there arent that many yet =x
LtNeutralX2 (8:12:35 PM): “yah.. so far its consisted of “we are awesome… don’t believe us listen to these guys””
LtNeutralX2 (8:12:54 PM): blue ray is so much bullshit, the console doesnt even have the ram to take advantage of the space
LtNeutralX2 (8:13:26 PM): 90% single layer dvd…
commander115 (8:13:37 PM): lol
LtNeutralX2 (8:13:40 PM): 95% of xbox games fit on a single layer
LtNeutralX2 (8:13:50 PM): even though it was dl-dvd9
commander115 (8:13:57 PM): for movies it will be good
LtNeutralX2 (8:14:04 PM): yeah, if blue ray wins

Xbox Live Silver users now have free access to Xbox Live multi-player for the next week. While the accounts will still ‘look’ Silver, they have enabled those accounts to access Xbox 360 multi-player just like Gold accounts. Also, you can also play some original Xbox Live multi-player games on your Xbox 360 with your Silver account, assuming of course that they are on the BC list. (Note: this won’t work with ALL original Xbox Live titles, but it does work with Halo 2.)

Oh and according to Major Nelson:

The team that works on marketplace content has been in all weekend getting ready for next week. I have to tell you there is a TON of stuff that will start popping up on Marketplace starting Monday morning (PT). I see demos, trailers, themes, gamer pictures and more getting ready for the march to Marketplace.

So we should start seeing a lot of new content today.
