[QUOTE="Aesthetic Monk, post: 2814058, member: 40091"] I haven't followed absolutely every in-and-out of Nintendo's E3 presence, but the summaries I've read so far today suggest that Nintendo had a pretty good if not absolutely brilliant press conference today (5/9). The best news seems to be that there'll be a good lot of games either at the Wii's launch or within a few months thereof, though one can expect the normal number of delays. The most perplexing aspect for me was Nintendo's lack of a final price point or launch date. Those are of course coming, and I personally don't have any worries that the price is going to be too high (for me), but I think the conference could've gone over better with a killer price, especially coming on the heels of Sony's $500/$600 price points announcement. (The biggest news of all, if only for me, may have been that my nongaming wife, after reading [I]Time's[/I] write-up on the Wii, said, "I want one ... kinda." Well played, Nintendo, well played. Now we just have to work on the broadband thing.) So ... what, if anything, has got people excited for this console? For me, Zelda and Super Mario Galaxy are at the top, and I'm also interested in how Super Monkey Ball will play with the new controller. Red Steel looks good, and this controller would seem tailor-made for FPSs if it's precise enough. Even the rather barebones tennis game looked fun--Nintendo could do worse than to pack WiiSports in with the console, I'd say. [/QUOTE]
