Give our dev team a GB and we'll drop our FPS on WiiWare for sure. not to sure about that. you have to consider that not everyone will have one since it wasnt mandatory from the start. you cant alienate those people   Neither was a Hard Drive in the 360.  At least SD cards only cost a few dollars.

but ms didnt make game installs mandatory. and i believe their xbla content still has a limit

Um... neither did Nintendo.  And Microsoft's limit is several hundred megabytes.

Called it back in august

 

I think it was good.

I haven't played any of the FF games, so 1-6 should be good and the storage solution is definitely good. I will upload it asap as I'm down to my last few hundred blocks. I think ~300 or so left.

I like.

Of course some other Nintendo/3rd party game would have been cool, but meh that's ok. E3 is around the corner.

How so? What were your expectations? They must have been way too high.

 

This was a great GDC keynote speech. Don't forget... this is GDC. Not E3 okay.

 

To summarize the bigger announcements:

Storage solution (this is huge btw)

New Zelda for DS (ditto)

All of those great FF announcements

Virtual Console Arcade

 

How is this not a good keynote??

Your right Nintendo addressed solution for the Wii storage which has been buggin me for loooonng time, but I lost as to FF1-6 on VC is being praised, These games have all been released several times and there Xcellent games ( fav= 4 5,6), im lost to the impact of this. Like for example Capcom is rereleasing the GC RE's again and most of the Wii base went balistic( including myself), i consider this the same thing

well wasn't really expecting anything. the sd card thing is cool and all for those that it affects, it don't effect me. Yea i know, sad i havne't downloaded that much stuff.

kind of cool about the dark lord thing, hope that it is cool and unique and not just the other game with different characters.

and f*ing sweet another Zelda, hoping it plays like phantom hourglass and dragonball origins. I love moving and all that with stylis only. And hmmm trains? souds like we are getting more modern, hope we still have bows and swords. otherwise it ain't zelda.

Well thats simple. If they want the game, they get more storage. No one is stopping them from doing such. Its not alienation, its telling them to get off their ass and get a better storage solution.

It wouldn't be Zelda without swords, magic, etc.  That said, I wouldn't be surprised if some enemies used muskets, or maybe if Link got one as a dungeon item.

everyone knew that storage solution was being worked on it is no shocker. 'all those ff's' as in 2? 2 ffs that are already availble. 'how is this not a good keynote?' because he spent 40 minutes talking about his man crush on miyamoto. would of been better if it were 30 minutes of showing those games and getting off the stage.
