I don't think they said that TP was done, just that it's almost done and they've decided to make it one of the Wii's launch titles.

Of course they're going to release the Gamecube and Wii versions at the same time. Then there'd be no point in getting the Wii version when the Wii launches since a lot of people will already have the GC version.

But I must say, Wii's launch is looking much better than the Gamecube's.

Okay, this might seem totally 2 weeks ago, but after watching Nintendo's broadcast, did anyone notice the reason why they had a Frenchman hold the conferences?

oui = Wii ?

I bet the French are dancing in the street because of it...

O.o

Dunno if this is real but... apparently this is how you will be playing the virtual console games...

Wow... The virtual controller looking a lot like the dual-shock... Hahahaha... Hey, the SNES / Dualshock was always the best design, IMNSHOTILOYWNCYCMS.

Wait, I just realised that it must be fake. There aren't enough face buttons to fit the N64 games. Those C buttons are troublesome....

*Edit*

Found out that it is real. I suppose the Right thumb stick can be used as the C buttons.... I just really wish that it didn't.

Postby **skyblue** » Wed May 10, 2006 2:02 pm

For me, Nintendo delivered! ^_^ I absolutely want Twilight Princess, Red Steel, Super Mario Galaxy, and...dang....Crystal Chronicles...ugh...too many games I want. @-@ I virtually want every game on this video:

...But I don't have the money for that....

Postby **Nate** » Wed May 10, 2006 4:27 pm

As long as the Wii Crystal Chronicles doesn't suck as much as the Gamecube version.

"Only one of you can ride in the cart. If you all want to play you'll have to each buy one of my link carts. It'll only cost you a bunch of a lot of money."

Well, for Excite Truck, yes, you will hold it sideways to drive. Tilting the controller up and down also helps you make your landing.

Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but a new "zapper" peripheral will be available for the Wii which will combine the two controllers into one gun-shaped controller. Spiffy!

Finally, I just read about the controls for Super Mario Galaxy, and it actually doesn't seem to be that drastic of a change in controls. Everything is done like normal -- thumbstick controls him, A button jumps -- and the motion sensors are used for Mario's new spin attack and to launch him toward points on the screen as he jumps. I'm thinking he jumps and then you "draw" him a pathway to fly to another point on-screen.

Holy crap...it has Metaknight. I am in love.

Postby **Rogie** » Wed May 10, 2006 7:55 pm

Awesome possum. Snake up against Samus (minus armor) and Kid Icarus.

If Konami's on the bandwagon now, then I'd like to see some other Konami characters. Probably a hint of what's to come. It'd be nice if Capcom and/or Sega would join up with the Smash Bros. cast, at least in some iteration of the series down the road. I'd like to see Mega Man and Sonic join the fray. But that's asking a lot, eh?

Postby **Link Antilles** » Wed May 10, 2006 8:13 pm

WHOA! That is AWE-FREAKEN-SOME! Solid Snake and Metaknight, how can it get any better? ^____________________^

*cough*

Sorry. I just had to let that out.

I agree. I love that giant ship he has. I remember that from kirby superstars <3

I have a good feeling it's gonna be a battle stage!

Wow. Nintendo must be doing something right. I know several people who were either indifferent or just plain didn't like the Wii, but between everything at E3 (especially the Smash Bros. trailer), and the low price, they are incredibly excited about it now. Nintendo stands to gain a lot of ground this generation, and they just might get back into the running with Sony and Microsoft.

Holy Snapple White Tea! Nobuo Uematsu is main theme composer for SSB: Brawl!

...And as a special service to readers of this site, I can say that the game's music will be performed by a full orchestra.

Seriously, what's next? O_o

Postby **mastersquirrel** » Thu May 11, 2006 8:07 am

I'm upset that Nintendo pushed back this game, but.... I'm too giddy with excitement over here to really care. I can't wait for this game.

Postby **Sai** » Thu May 11, 2006 8:51 am

Does anyone know how the GC controller is compatable with the Wii?? I was skimming through some E3 articles and thought I saw it mentioned.

If I'm not mistaken (someone correct me if I'm wrong) there is a part of the side of the Wii that opens up, and in there there are connections for the Gamecube controllers.

Postby **Pent** » Thu May 11, 2006 10:18 am

Yup four slots for gamecube controllers, plays gamecube games in the same place slot it plays Wii games (which are full size) so that's pretty cool.

Can't wait to play SSBB online! I don't got G4 so I'm missing E3 this really sucks!

So what is the estimated price for Wii ging to be?

Postby **Nate** » Thu May 11, 2006 10:22 am

Nintendo has said they're keeping the pricing details and the release date of the Wii under their hat for now.
