More news on Nintendo Media Summit

We know that Smash Bros. Brawl news is coming via the official website revamp, we've heard that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption news may be on the way as well. Now we have a few more details on the actual event (via a NeoGAF thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156558))

The Media Summit will take place May 22 (all invitees) and May 23 (pre-approved long-lead only invitees on embargo).

It looks like a bunch of news on the 22nd, and then print magazines will get an early peak at E3 stuff so they can get their upcoming issues ready. Thanks to Sobe for the heads up!

Ubisoft e Nintendo realizarão seus eventos de jogos na semana que vem

Aproveitando a onda do mês de maio e o buraco que a falta da E3 em seu formato antigo formou, as empresas têm realizado seus próprios eventos (como os leitores podem ver, Sony, Electronic Arts, Konami, Tecmo e outras fizeram seus próprios). Mais duas companhias também fecham o mês com festas para revelarem suas novidades.

Curiosamente, as duas acontecerão nos mesmos dias: 22 e 23 de maio! A primeira foi a Ubisoft, com sua Ubi Days; a outra, com menos alarde (mas confirmação por fontes de confiança) foi a Nintendo ? que curiosamente acontece bem próximo ao encerramento da contagem regressiva do site oficial de Super Smash Brothers Brawl (http://www.smashbros.com/)

Portanto, fiquem de olho, pois a semana que vem também periga apresentar um bocado de boas novas aos fãs de videogame.

Cheira-me a (pelo menos) Metroid Prime 3 e Smash Bros e quem sabe, mais uns quantos.

Já me pôs com água na boca, espero que anunciem as datas de lançamento e também o modo online para os dois jogos....
Acho que o modo online já foi confirmado para o Brawl.

Acho que o modo online já foi confirmado para o Brawl.Desde a E3 2005 em que o anunciaram. :)

Desde a E3 2005 em que o anunciaram. :)

Pois, era essa a ideia que tinha, mas como o final fantay cc também estava previsto modo online e agora parece que não vai ter, fiquei com algumas dúvidas.

Se as empresas tomaram inicativa, pergunto-me se isto é só este ano... ou eles estão a pensar fazer algo do género por esta altura para 2008 também?

Se a ideia for preencher este buraco que fica até podiam organizar um evento completamente novo. Era preciso era haver pessoal com dinheiro e paciência pra isso :p.

um metroid para a DS em 2d à lá castelvania é que era de valor anunciar :(

Não sei se eles a esta altura do campeonato vão voltar a fazer um metroid desse estilo. Dúvido muito. Super Marios é que não devem morrer, mas mesmo esses já estão "Corruptos" (Super Paper Mario).

Se a corrupção for sempre ao nivel de qualidade do Super Paper Mario, por mim podiam-se juntar já á mafia. :x2:

olha que um paper metroid era capaz de render :D

Super Marios é que não devem morrer, mas mesmo esses já estão "Corruptos" (Super Paper Mario).O Metroid Dread para a DS (um metroid 2D para sair posteriormente ao Metroid Hunters) esteve em planning stages à dois anos; há quem sugira que foi apenas "arquivado" e pode ser usado mais tarde (ou está a ser feito).

Também se fala que o Metroid 2 do GB vai ser refeito para a virtual console/futuro serviço de downloads da Nintendo, com graficos equivalentes ao Super Metroid/Metroid Fusion.

Metroid em 2D é como o Super Mario 2D, dizer que morreu... é um clássico imortal é o que é. :p

E o Super Paper Mario não é corrupto, chama-se inovação :p E a Nintendo já anda a fazer sondagens na América a perguntar se os consumidores querem uma sequela/jogo novo da série. :Dolha que um paper metroid era capaz de render :DEra lindo XD Pelo menos um Cameo nos Paper Marios.

Nintendo Media Summit: Reggie Speaks

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime kicked off the company's media summit here in Seattle this morning with a speech that ran down the company's successes with Wii and DS in 2007 thus far.

"How are you guys doing? I'm doin' great," he began. Since this is the first major address that Nintendo has made to the assembled press since Wii's success, there was a lot for him to be happy about. He began by pointing out that in the history of video games in the US, only one company has ever been the #1 manufacturer of game hardware, portables, software, and the owner of the most popular game, and that was Nintendo in the 1980's -- and now they've done it again.

Some interesting facts, figures, and quotes after the jump.

In Japan, more than half of all games sold were for Nintendo DS.

Typically, about half of home consoles in Japan are placed in the living room -- with Wii that figure is 75%.

In France, 15 of the top 15 games recently were from Nintendo [consoles].

In the US, Fils-Aime says they are seeing "early signs of significant market change."

The number of female purchasers of hardware are up 42%.

The number of people over age of 30 purchasing Nintendo DS is up 127%.

Tighten that age range to people over 35, and the number is up 212%.

40% of Wii owners have connected to the internet.

3.3 million plus Virtual Console downloads.

Nintendogs has been in the Top 25 games in the US for the 21 months since its launch. Brain Age is showing similar "legs." = top 25 for 21+ months

"Games that appeal to a wider audience can stay on best seller lists indefinitely," says Fils-Aime.

They are seeing a "change in the perennial post-holiday time period. Everyone knows that more than half of our revenues are generated in November and December, and software sales go in the doldrums in the next quarter after the holidays."

"We believe that as the market widens we shouldn't be so dependent on the holidays," Fils-Aime says.

For the last two Christmas seasons, sales of Nintendo DS in the three months after the holidays have been 35% of holiday sales. But this year, it's at 49% -- "and that's with DS being essentially out of stock in January," said Fils-Aime.

"We don't consider Sony and Microsoft as our only competitors. We're competing with other leisure time entertainment. If people stay at home and play wii bowling instead of going to the movies, we win."

"We're not for one group or the other -- we're for the expanded audience and the core. It's difficult when you launch a stellar game to differentiate between the two."

Third party development is "moving enthusiastically towards Wii." Third parties have sold more Wii games than Nintendo, "contrary to popular belief."

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption "will reinvent the control scheme for a first person shooter. It's the closest you can get to PC control in a [console] game."Fonte: http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/05/nintendo_media_.html

I'm Off To See Nintendo

As you read this, I am thousands of feet in the air, en route to Seattle, Washington, readying myself for a full day of Nintendo news revelations and gameplay impressions.
The Nintendo Media Summit goes down tomorrow morning, starting at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time and wrapping up that evening. No word on what will be announced or playable at the summit, but I have a good feeling we'll have plenty of time to get our hands dirty with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
I expect that particular game and many others given release dates earlier today by Nintendo to be on hand, but also suspect a few surprises. I'm not sure exactly what time I'll be able to dish the dirt, but check in with us tomorrow for Nintendo related updates. Super Smash Bros. Brawl news? Probably!
Alright, back to Ouendan 2 and these savory pretzels.

Nintendo Media Summit info under embargo for now?

Word is flying around that Nintendo has put a lot of their media summit information under embargo. This comes as a surprise to the press as well. Below is a post from an official IGN team member over at their Wii boards…

It seems that there are more embargoes around this event than we previously thought. As soon as we are allowed to report something to you guys, we will. Don’t worry about that. - Dash-IGN

On top of that, reader Orlando was nice enough to put together a quick translation of a blurb at the Atomix.vg website. Atomix is a Mexican magazine that covers gaming among other things.
Atomix Staff is currently in Seattle Washington, covering the “Nintendo Media Summit”. The event will last 2 days and its said that Nintendo will finally show new games for the Wii and the DS, besides we’ll be able to play some Wii games demos.
All the information will begin to flow by the end of the week so mark your calendars and return to www.Atomix.vg (http://www.Atomix.vg) the next Friday to find out everything that was shown in the event.

Looks like we might be holding out until Friday for the bulk of the information. Who knows, we may not see any of the big stuff until the new E3 rolls around (July 11-13th).

Notícias dos três gigantes do Wii não virão no fim do embargo

Como já foi anunciado pela imprensa internacional, as informações e novidades exibidas nos últimos dois dias durante o evento Nintendo Media Summit estão sobre embargo, ou seja, não podem ser reveladas ao público até um certo dia, por contrato. Mesmo assim, o site Kotaku revelou hoje que, aparentemente, não teremos nenhuma nova notícia de Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl ou Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, chamados por muitos de "os três gigantes do Wii".

O embargo termina na próxima sexta-feira 25, às 13h no horário de Brasília. Até lá, nenhuma nova informação deverá ser revelada.

Back From Seattle

I think everybody's well aware that Nintendo held a games event in Seattle this week. We were initially embargoed on everything we saw at the event, including third party titles, but Nintendo suddenly said we could publish write-ups and media for the third party stuff, which is why it all went up yesterday. We're still waiting to roll with the first party stuff. It's coming soon, but don't get your hopes up for any megatons. Online press were, very unfortunately, not allowed access to the game you all really want to know about. I cried, but it didn't help.

On Friday, we will have some good coverage of a non-first party game that you should probably start getting excited about, if you haven't already. So stay tuned for that.Fonte: http://blogs.ign.com/Matt-IGN/2007/05/23/55589/

"Online press" não teve acesso? isso quer dizer que a "Printed press" teve? :)

Sexta feira trailer novo de um jogo third party, aposto que é do FFCC Wii.

Este evento serviu dois fins, dar o Metroid Prime 3 para os jornalistas da imprensa impressa (revistas) poderes escrever reviews e fazer as suas entrevistas, e dar aos jornalistas das publicações online jogos que de outra forma seriam +/- ignorados pelo jornalismo de videojogos... Isto porque todos estes irão ser completamente ofuscados na E3 (ou E for All) que este ano é em Julho (?) onde a Nintendo vai participar e onde presumivelmente os títulos grandes irão estar (relegando estes para planos secundários ou mesmo terciários).

Boa estratégia, mas agora já vinha é a E3. :p

já vinham era os jogos grandes....e os pequenos também desde que bons. agora conferências, previews, reviews e afins estamos nós cheios

já vinham era os jogos grandes....e os pequenos também desde que bons. agora conferências, previews, reviews e afins estamos nós cheiosOs jogos pequenos estão a vir, o Eledee's à duas semanas, o Mario Strikers hoje... :) Claro que as grandes armas ficam para o fim do ano (e quando estiverem prontas) mas não tenho razão de queixa do line-up (mas a minha carteira vazia tem) :p

Rumores interessantes acerca de uma pessoa que diz que teve na "(Pre E3) Nintendo Media Event”.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Release Date – 08/20/2007

My experience playing this game demonstrated that Wii is capable of graphics far superior to what has been seen to date, and vast improvements have been made over the original build for this title. You will finally say “wow” when you see this game.

More importantly, Metroid will be a Wi-Fi title. There is no competitive online mode or multiplayer but WiiConnect 24 plays a large role. Metroid Prime 3 is slated to be the final entry in to the Prime series and is meant to carry fans over for quite some time. As such, new missions will become available for download on a regular basis (I have no idea how often a “regular basis” is). In addition, new suits and weapons are also going to be available for download. No detailed information was provided beyond this, but as explained to me, the purpose is to provide an experience that will be “ever evolving and changing so that the game may become entirely new over time.” This aspect of the game was why it was delayed for so long.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Release Date – 11/12/2007

Unfortunately, Smash Bros. only featured one playable level, which is what you’re seeing in most of the screenshots. However, there was a demonstration of the game’s Wi-Fi abilities and one new character shown. As you’ve seen, the game looks stunning and in certain instances plays like a dream. There are two available control methods, “Classic” and “Brawl.” Classic utilizes either a Gamecube controller or the Classic controller and plays much like previous entries in the series. Brawl utilizes the Wii Remote and Nunchuk attachment. Various attacks can be increased in strength by moving the Wii Remote in the direction of the attack. You can also add an extra jump when pressing up on the control stick and moving your Remote upwards. Unfortunately, these maneuvers felt tacked on.

Super Mario Galaxy
Release Date – 12/10/2007

Much hands-on time was spent with this title. It is essentially everything fans of Mario 64 will be expecting from the game. Unlike Mario Sunshine, this entry in the series will allow players the ability to explore vast areas of varying style. By now, you have undoubtedly seen the mini-planet hopping scenes on video and in screen shots. That being said, you probably have no idea how massive this game truly is. The mini-planets, comets, and space exploration are simply the surface of the game, and experienced mostly at the beginning. As the game progresses, most levels are within giant planets, each with its own unique feel. I was reminded often of jumping in to different paintings on Mario 64 and how each level was unique from the others. Think of outer-space in Galaxy as the castle is to Mario 64.

Another interesting bit of information regarding this title is cooperative play. When playing with a friend they will have the ability to assist you in your movements. This works by pointing the star where you want to advance to and having Mario follow the pattern drawn. This only happens at particular points in the game and is not necessary for play. However, it allows a friend to join the fun.

Finally, WiiConnect 24 is also utilized in this title, but no information regarding this was provided.
