I still don't know what the Vitality Sensor does, because they wouldn't demo it, Iwata just spoke about it.

Cmon man, you're smarter than that. It's a heart rate monitor. Most obvious use is cardio exercise in fitness games.

I don't know. Iwata had a lot of lengthy speak about it. It doesn't help that it's the only peripheral ever Nintendo didn't showcase alongside software. That has always been the crux of the success of their peripherals, engaging software to be packaged and used with them. Without the software then who gives a shit? Just buy a heart monitor. Here's hoping it's more than that though, but I supposed it's possible it's just a reworking of the pedometers they package with Personal Trainer Walking. Nice sure, but nothing ground breaking. Without an exceptional piece of software, Balance Board this will not be.

8/10
I am really looking forward to both Mario games, Metroid as well as a few games that were not show such as Sin and Punishment. I would have given the show a 10 if we had seen a new Zelda Wii, some Wiiware games, and a new Retro game. At least they started the show off with a bang unlike Microsoft who bored me to death with Rockband Tony Hawk and some other crappy game for the first 30 minutes.(We all know about Rockband, we don't need to see it on stage every year)(at least it got good at the end I guess with Alan Wake and Milo) So I would say Nintendo 8/10 and Microsoft 7/10 so far.

I would give them an 8. Showed some great stuff but there could have been more of it.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Nintendo: 6/10
- Golden Sun DS (+1)
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (+2)
- Metroid: Other M (+3)

BTW for comparison Microsoft: 5/10
- Crackdown 2 (+1)
- Left 4 Dead 2 (+2)
- Metal Gear Solid: Rising (+2)

//0 - not interested, 1 - interested, 2 - hyped, 3 - cant' wait; only newly announced titles were included.

Just an FYI a few other things did go on during the MS conference.  It was nearly 2 hours long.  Isnt that in itself amazing about the MS conference compared to the Nintendo conference. MS didnt present any statistics. Simple for nearly 2 hours presented content for just 1 console.  While Nintendo supporting 2 platforms presented statistics and some content.

Nintendo only presented things that would be out by 2010, not things that won't be out this gen, in addition MS didn;t show redundant stuff, like MS did with Splinter Cell which would also be shown at Ubi's own conference, in addition Nintendo didn't waste time with things like Netflix and last.fm



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Really so Metroid M will be out in 2009 (They should really fix the trailer which clearly said 2010). I dont think it would be wise for Nintendo to release 2 Mario platformers this fall even if one is 2.5D and the other 3D.  EA wont show Dead Space Wii, or maybe they didnt because it is a after thought title.  The Conduit wont be show anywhere, well except at retailers in a couple of weeks.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

true, but I think that this device relays the info back to the console, keeping track of heart monitoring. heart rate during exercise is very important in measuring calorie burn.

Besides, I could see side uses, like adrenaline detection in fighting games, horror games, etc. Imagine an Eternal Darkness 2 that links the sanity meter to your heart rate?

Well, Microsoft had an overhyped tech demo, a new Halo game, and... not much else.

Nintendo had NSMB2, Golden Sun DS, SMG2, the new Metroid, Wii Fit+, the rest of the MotionPlus games, release dates for Mario & Luigi 3 and a couple of others, and the confirmation that Crystal Bearers isn't vaporware.

Sony will be hard-pressed to follow that one up.

I think Nintendo just won E3.

Except thats absoloute crap .. Microsoft had a lot more than a halo game and an overhyped techdemo .. you're making yourself sound like a complete and utter fanboy!

Ummmm...out of all the things you could complain about regarding Microsoft's press conference, is "wasting time" the right one? They moved at such a crisp pace with everything they did they was hardly time to take it all in.

Also I do believe some of the Ubi titles during Nintendo's conference were also showcased during Ubi's press conference, which is more redundant for Nintendo's conference since they came second.
