Hey guys, welcome to another edition of The Noisecast Liveblog! I’ve got nice tall thermos of coffee and high hopes. So stop what you’re doing and join us for Nintendo’s E3 Press Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well looks like that\u2019s a wrap folks. Thanks for joining us, we\u2019ll get more details on the new controller ASAP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the Wii U IS the new console?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Pregnant Prom by EA only on Wii U! (I kid, I kid.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cosign from EA is big. Really big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I second Agrippa\u2019s comment. No way these will be that awesome on the current Wii, controller or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First official 3rd party release for Wii U<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to guess that the new console will be called \u201cSamurai Garden\u201d or \u201cLotus\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well there\u2019s certainly lots of in-house development, but what about the 3rd party devs? A man can play Smash Bros but so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Wii U has video chat capabilities. Wow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rumors were true. A touchscreen controller. Looks like it\u2019s for the Wii though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry guys, no good shots for Luigi\u2019s Mansion 2. Looks pretty cool. Fils-Aime says its totally new for the 3DS. Which is what the system needs \u2013 ground up originals. No matter how much you like Ocarina of Time, you want something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having seen the E-shop, this is no Wii Store or anything like it. It\u2019s what they\u2019ve needed since the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, virtual console specifically for 3DS \u2013 well played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember when I got Excitebike when I was a kid. Hours spent creating unbeatable tracks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D on the 3DS, this whole liveblog is in 3D!!! You didn\u2019t get the glasses we sent? Oh that sucks. Guess you have to settle for 2D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here Wii go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks good to me. Mario 3D<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI, you really have to actually see the 3DS to appreciate it. Still a little gimmicky though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agrippa\u2019s cranky cuz he wants the new console. Hey Reggie you\u2019re not the best salesman so lets get to steak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario is almost as famous as Ronald McDonald. More famous than Jesus. <<\u2014 I made that up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some technical difficulties I\u2019m back. BTW did I ever tell you how much I hate shitty internet connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s almost time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wah-hoooo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Okay. Pretty cool. So what\u2019s this about a new console?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 04:27pm<\/strong> Alberto Lima<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orchestra is now playing some of your favorite, iconic Nintendo Themes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:21pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get more, much more at Nintendo\u2019s E3 site. e3.nintendo.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be prepared for more games your kids will just love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:17pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umm\u2026 yeah, what Alberto said. HE\u2019LL get on that stat. I\u2019m going off to brood and then dance the night away on my Kinect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:16pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I\u2019ve just been had but not sure how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:16pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 no new console? Not ready? Not till later? There is all this talk of HD but the Wii isn\u2019t exactly HD. What is happening here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:11pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishlist, way more powerful console, more powerful online capabilities, and more grown up games. So far I\u2019ve seen all this except the new system that everyone\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:09pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t a real mention of time frame. Or did I miss it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:06pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh shit\u2026 Assassin\u2019s Creed, Ghost Recon, Gotham\u2026 Okay Wii U, I\u2019m listening. But show us the actual new console already. No way those games are going to be awesome on a standard Wii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:03pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m yawning, Nintendo. Lego, blah blah being one of the first games confirmed to be in development for the Wii U. Coming exclusively to the Wii U and 3DS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 12:00pm<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, they could have just beefed up the 3DS and made it the new Wii U controller. (The 3D U?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:58am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smash brothers on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. The nerds in the audience just whooped, hollered, and possibly ejaculated. I missed it because I was busy yawning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:56am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to rush to poo poo this. I remember how that turned out with the Wii\u2026 85 million units later. I want to know how much this costs, and how thick it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:54am<\/strong> Ron Cassel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:53am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the bloody hell? This seems like a full tablet than anything else. Checkmate, Apple? \u201cKeep in mind that it was not meant to be a portable game device. The images are wirelessly transmitted\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:51am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, Nintendo, I\u2019m impressed, very impressed. But why not just build all this into the 3DS instead. (it even has a stylus). 6.2 inch screen, backward compatible \u2013 so all wii games and accessories can be used. It sounds like, far from being a new console, it seems to be a new uber control for Wii\u2026 what is happening here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:49am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was about to post a pic but Alberto got it. Man, the things you can do with it are pretty intense\u2026 it\u2019s a whole handheld game, tablet, and controller. Clip of video call, controlling the tv, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:46am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controller looks like a futuristic tablet from the 70s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:45am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wii-U\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:45am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, is this it? Are they introducing the new system? They are justifying the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:44am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOTTA CATCH \u2018EM ALL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:44am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the hipster comment. I actually liked Excitebike. That wasn\u2019t meant as an insult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:43am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual console, bringing back classics. They\u2019ll be emulating. 3D Classics: Excitebike. What is this, a hipster convention? How retro. Pokemon is coming too. I know that\u2019s pretty big. Can I stop mentioning that these are all in 3D?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:40am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resident Evil, Mario and Sonic, Ace Combat, Tetris, Cave Story, Resident Evil: Revelations, Driver Renegade, Pac-Man & Galaga, Tekken, Metal Gear Solid. All in 3D, all coming to the 3DS. Okay, okay, I see you homie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:38am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luigi\u2019s Mansion 2. \u201cIt\u2019s not a simple revision. It\u2019s an entire new game, using 3D\u201d Are you getting the pattern yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:37am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kid Icarus, Uprising with 3 on 3 multiplayer action. It will also use augmented reality cards to conduct battle. This is actually really cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:34am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More talk of Mario in 3D. He must have some sort of metabolic issue. All that running and jumping and he\u2019s still fat. Put the spaghetti and meatballs down, Mario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:33am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll admit, I always kinda liked Starfox. This is actually kinda cool. I\u2019ve never hated the 3Ds, I just think 3D is a gimmick. Starfox will be in 3D and will have the winningest social capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:29am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UUUUGGGGHHHHH! Mario Cart 3D. Please make Mario stop. Even plumbers rack up a pension and get to retire, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:28am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something for everyone? \u201cWith our new home console, this is something we intend to offer.\u201d (paraphrased)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:27am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo America is on stage. \u201cwe hear you. you want what you\u2019ve always wanted.\u201d umm\u2026 yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:26am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh no. Mario, why won\u2019t you just die? Mario is moving into 3D. I thought it was already there. *shrugs*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:25am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What? \u201cWe\u2019re going to leave details for later this morning\u2026\u201d Nintendo, you better mean later in the Keynote. Stop playin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:24am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yup yup. He\u2019s basically making the sales pitch for a new console. Come on. Impress me, Nintendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:23am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an industry, what we haven\u2019t achieved yet, is a game platform that is satisfactory to all segments\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:22am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturo Iwata is on the stage now. Since launching the Wii and DS, we now see changes in \u201cwho plays, where they play\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:21am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now more pixi music. blah blah. Let\u2019s get on with it, Nintendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:19am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I say, I\u2019m only here for the possible new console people have been hollering about and leaking. Zelda does nothing for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue 11:17am<\/strong> Agrippa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary = mucho goodies and extras. Plus Skyward Sword will be out soon, and a golden wii-mote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
