Baseball? If it has the fun-ness of Wii Baseball, then this will rock. AWESOME

Why do they even bother showing off Kung Fu Panda at a press event?

i wiish that wii had better gamesfir the Wii

Just fyi, de Blob is for the WiiWare service. That said, I'm looking forward to all the information coming whenever you can give it to us!

EDIT: spell check let me down... gamesfir= games for

How come they didnt mention that wiiware Saku Saku Animal Panic/Critter Round-Up?
whats up with that! Looks like a fun game.

@Kiriphii: fyi, since the day it was announced(1 year ago) deBlob has always been a retail game.

@Kiriphii:

de Blob is getting a retail release

I wish they announced something cooler was coming to the Wii. Still, I am confident we'll see something awesome at E3, as Nintendo doesn't usually announce their really big plans til after Q2

Good stuff. I can hardly wait until Tuesday to hear about Crosswords DS, I'm on the edge of my seat.

To be honest I'm really looking forward to reading your thoughts on Sonic Chronicles. It actually looks rather interesting in comparison to the slew of humdrum Sonic games released over the past few years. Maybe that's just because the named "Bioware" is attached to the credits?

@DonWii:
Ah, it appears I was confusing this with another game. Nevermind!

The one thing I really want to know more about, Guitar Hero: On Tour, is the only thing they're being hush-hush about, Activision must love hatred.

Everything I've heard about Boom Blox seems to be very positive, so I'm looking forward to hearing more. I wish Nintendo would have said something about Fire Emblem DS, though. I haven't heard anything about that game since its initial announcement half a year ago.

Ugh, Sonic Chronicles. That game looks horrible. They're blending the game series known for its speed, with a genre that is second only to strategy for slowness.

That being said, I find myself excited for Mario Super Sluggers, and I usually hate the mario sports titles. But with the wiimote, it should be awesome. SW: The force unleashed awesome as well.

Space Invaders Extreme?

Hm. This is the first time there's been a Nintendo event and... I'm not jumping out of my seat excited about a big chunk of what they're showing.

I guess this is growing up.

no new kid icarus?
...no zelda ? T^T

Damn, hopefully they're saving the big guns for tomorrow. The only thing that interests me at all is Lost Winds for WiiWare. That's pretty sad.

Hey McWhertor is that list everything that was shown? No embargoed surprises and such?

@2NinjasTapedTogether: Growing up? Oh no, past Nintendo events had plenty of news to be excited about, this was just one crappy ass event

Kotaku: The Blog That "Gets It" Before It "Gets Out!"

There is still a second day and any new game announcements could very well be under embargo. The middle of next week we will know for sure.

So far I am quite depressed by Nintendo's offerings. Mario Super Sluggers = snore. WiiWare = snore.

How can Nintendo impress me? New IPs. New Pikmin. Stop this "two crappy VC games a week" madness and let us download any classics NOW. Banish the developers that spit out Cruisn' USA-esque graphics.

@Klaymen: Obviously you need to bother looking at the wiiware stuff. A lot of it is new ips and new gameplay concepts. Lots of import games are coming to the vc. It's just getting the wiiware service that is delaying the vc releases for the us.

@Klaymen: WiiWare right now may be a snore, but I have high hopes for its future, considering some of the rumors that surround possible WiiWare releases in the future.

*Sigh*...

...the big announcements aren't coming until E3 people.

This is just a filler event highlighting the stuff coming out between now and mid-summer when the games announced at E3 will start arriving. The Wii doesn't suck and Nintendo isn't "teh DOOMED" because there haven't been a dozen huge announcements at his minor event.

i can has pikmin 3

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.

The Force Unleashed is being released on the Wii? And here I thought I had to buy an Xbox360 in the future! Hot damn!

lmao, what's the "new Guitar Hero: On Tour attachment"? i think we've all seen the four-fret frenzy by now.

@sugardeath: you're not alone. i too thought the wii was getting skipped. :p

@Klaymen: well, that snes channel hack just came out, so that should be good. ;)

que you say? watch:

damnit... >

@antialias02: some WiiWare titles do look interesting. But, I haven't seen anything that knocks my socks of yet. FF and Lost Winds look cool, but over all I feel that Nintendo's stubbornness towards giving us a worthwhile storage solution and demos for games (VC, WiiWare, and otherwise) will hurt the service.

@Yetanotheruninspiredscreename: I do applaud Nintendo for releasing "import" games. Getting to finally play Sin&Punishment is a good thing. However, I feel I would be more apt to purchase VC games if a large library was available right off the bat. Waking up every monday to find two mediocre NES games, or one 64 game, just isn't cutting it. Like many others I would love to see Kirby Super Star, Mario RPG, Chrono, (and personally HM 64, and Space Station Silicon Valley) get VC releases soon, instead of Nintendo playing this very odd "Disney Vault" game with us.

@tme2nsb: More like, if it's anything like Super Mario Strikers it will rock (please god PLEASE let it be)

@Klaymen:Nintendo telling people what they can and can not upload onto VC is the kiss of death and you should know this. Also, you need to stop asking for Chrono Trigger, SE said a year ago they weren't going to release it for VC or anything but a full repackage and re-release. @antialias02:Wii ware has a load of intresting games coming. It's also out of the three the service that gives the developer the most income. @Klaymen:Did you ever play Strikers? Super Sluggers is kind of built on that and it's crazy, crazy fun. Also, Strikers has fantastic online, so Super Sluggers will very likely have it too. @GREY GECKO:Pikman is likely in development as a new Zelda, but you typically never hear much about major first party games till they are at least 40% complete. New Zelda's also never show up before the third year of a system's life if there's one before it and with the rumored "revamping", then it may very well take even longer. To those crying about the event, no, the omgwtf games won't really be announced or show up till E3/Whatever E3 replacement the big three all go to. The second batch will be announced all at Spaceworld in Japan, that's early summer for us. Keep in mind the BIG AAA titles coming down the pipe in the next 90 days were all announced anywhere from a year to two years ago, but are being released now. Game Development takes time and only SE and a few others give stills and names to games in development that are only 5% or 15% done. If your going to post on here, use your brains people and cut out all the low level trolling or the Prinny God's gonna get his hammer wet.

@kickass solo just got the RRoD :(: lol I thought it was intentional with "i" technique. Like "fiir thi wii" hehe @Foxstar Sixtail: If you think there's been any trolling in these comments then you admonition about brain usage is sweetly ironic. Or you're a fanboy. Or both. If Witz gets his hammer "wet" on anything, it will probably be on people crying wolf to its weilder.

oh yay, cel phone posting ftw fizuck.

@Foxstar Sixtail: I realize the problems with the VC. I'm claiming they need to be fixed. I know SE has stated such and such about Chrono, but I also doubt Nintendo has been aggressively courting them. I'm sure if Nintendo started throwing money at them, Squeenix wouldn't sit on Chrono forever. Instead, we get Kirby Avalanche and Kirby 64 while Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dreamland 3 are still missing. Please don't pretend like Nintendo has been feverishly negotiating trying to get games onto the VC -- they've been sitting on their classics.

And, yes I played Strikers. Did you ever play Mario Super Star Baseball? I feel Mario Super Sluggers will be a bit more like that. Although, from the sound of it, SS will also be more "casual" and Wii Sports-like. Doesn't seem like a game that could hold my attention for long.

Nintendo's last few "sports" offerings have been quite mediocre. Strikers was a bit of fun, but not deep by any means.

Here's hoping the media summit gives me something to get excited about.

yawn. where is elite beat agents 2?
