I think Nintendo will have very boring conference. Nintendo doesn't need to attract the user base. They need to sway more developers to be serious about the Wii.

 

You're absolutely right!

If they could convince Namco to make a new Tales for Wii that would be awesome. Or even better: a stealth Ninja game. The absolute highlight would be if Tecmo were to make a survival horror of course, but i'm afraid we'll never see that happening. Mega Man would be awesome as well. I hope for a 2D one.

I guess we have to wait for another two years before they finally releas downloadable content for something like Guitar Hero on Wii. And of course Activision has to use a completely different engine to build Call of Duty 5 on.

Just had to follow this one up again :P

There entire conference was aimed at two groups of people. Drawing non combat gamers into gaming and developers that haven't fully jumped on board.

This was the obvious path for Nintendo conference. It's spotlight to sell it's product and it's name. Are they going to target the combat gamers? They have those games coming we all know about some of them. Fatal Frame, Tenchu.... Why do we know about them. We are internet geeks. The media who the conference is for now sees this. I assure there are some more media than just IGN. How about Time, New Yorker, other standard media. Media that isn't for internet geeks. Nintendo conference just made them disgusting amounts of money. Even if it wasn't exactly interesting. I for one walked away when WiiMusic was playing. I knew that was pretty much it.

Then there are the developers. Seriously sandbox GTA DS? Totoally f'n cool. WiiMotion plus with WiiSports Resort. That's such a tech demo.

They did not tell us what you want. They told you information that gaming is going to mainstream in everyones lives. They told us that gaming is changing. Will there sill be GTA, DMC, FF games. Yes, but we should expect more than just combat=hardcore gaming. We should expect to leave the old style of values of just graphics and move to interaction. I would love to see GTA with better Godfather Black Hand controls.

Disruption will cause the incumbent to scratch it's head.

 

Sony however still needs to capture a market. Since it's likely that Sony people don't get the new values. They will probably try to put on a show to atract the harcore/combat gamer.
