E3 2006 was the full-blown reveal for Wii, so Nintendo’s conference was jam-packed with all sorts of games.

Where to begin? For starters, Shigeru Miyamoto came out on stage and conducted a Zelda tune with his Wiimote and a Wii Music backdrop. He then did a little dance as Excite Truck and Red Steel were introduced in video form.

Zelda: Twilight Princess was confirmed and demoed for Wii, though Nintendo remained committed to bring it to GameCube as well.

Other titles highlighted during the media briefing include Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Project H.A.M.M.E.R. (cancelled), and Disaster: Day of Crisis (never released in North America).

SEGA brought along its Sonic game that would become Sonic and the Secret Rings. Square Enix gave a glimpse at Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers for Wii, but it would end up being something completely different.

Nintendo closed out the proceedings with a Wii Sports demonstration with Miyamoto, Satoru Iwata, Bill Trinen, and a contest winner. Fun was had by all!

There’s no question that E3 2005 had some memorable Nintendo moments. Satoru Iwata opened up the conference with a hilarious dig at Reggie, talking “smack” at the executive and teased: “So Reggie, I have a question for you: who’s your daddy?”

The “Revolution”, later becoming Wii, was definitely the highlight of the conference. Iwata came out and showed the hardware for the first time, shared various details (including the Virtual Console announcement), confirmed a couple of games like Smash Bros., and more.

There were other moments as well – Shigeru Miyamoto’s weirdness during the Nintendogs segment and the third trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, for instance.

Sonic’s last few outings have been moving (slowly) in the right direction, but can ‘Lost World’ bring the series all the way back?

System: Nintendo Wii U/3DS
Release Date: TBA, Late 2013
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: SEGA

Author: Spencer

This year, Sega announced a partnership with Nintendo to bring three Sonic the Hedgehog games exclusively to Nintendo platforms, namely the Wii U and 3DS. The first game they announced was Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, a new entry in the Mario & Sonic Olympics series. The second game is a core Sonic title, Sonic: Lost World. Coming later this year to Wii U and 3DS, this new game will see Sonic on a whole new adventure in a new world.

Hit the jump to see what we know so far about Sonic: Lost World.

Two videos for the price of one tonight!

Unfortunately, there isn’t much footage from Nintendo’s E3 2002 conference. That leads to more trailers rather than content directly from the briefing. We did end up with one of the first clips from F-Zero GX, as well as new looks at titles such as Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda: The Wind Waker.

E3 2003 was certainly more exciting from the perspective of available footage, but it is sort of known as one of Nintendo’s duds. Two big aspects were highlighted during the conference: GameCube to Game Boy Advance connectivity and partnerships. Zelda: Four Swords and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes were arguably the two biggest announcements. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was made public as well. Shigeru Miyamoto popped up on stage to reveal that he was working on a Pac-Man title for the GameCube… which was kind of Nintendo’s main announcement for the show.

Check back tomorrow as we take a look at Nintendo’s E3 2004 conference, featuring the unveil of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

The first season of Eggbusters has come to a close! This episode is really long. Like, real-life-TV length. So get a bucket of popcorn and take a seat at your computer, because there’s a lot to digest, from party tricks to exploration glitches, and even some you may have heard of. Thank you all very much for watching and supporting (especially you guys on NE instead of just Youtube), and I hope you look forward to the return of this shin-dig sometime in the future!

Nintendo won’t be holding a large-scale media briefing at this year’s E3, but press conferences have been an important part of the company’s past. And with E3 2013 right around the corner, I thought it’d be a great time to revisit some of their events – starting with E3 2001.

Nintendo’s E3 2001 conference was quite interesting. It was Nintendo’s big display of the GameCube: Smash Bros. was announced (and received a fantastic reaction!). Luigi’s Mansion and Pikmin were shown for the first time, too. We got a first look at the GameCube controllers, game disc, and even learned when the system would be launching around the world.

I’ve tried to incorporate some randomness/humor in our previous two videos. This time around, there’s no funny business. Watch it and let me know what you think! More E3 videos to come.

The Lost World: Jurassic Sonic

This is a survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much. As stated above the topic for you guys this week is “Let’s talk about Sonic: Lost World.”

I haven’t been publicizing this much, but yes: Nintendo Everything now has a YouTube channel. There isn’t much there at present, but it should be a whole lot more interesting once E3 2013 is done and over with.

In the meantime, I’ve started to produce some completely random and silly videos. Case and point: this Sonic Lost World – 15 seconds edition trailer. I cut away (most) of the CG, highlighted (most) of the interesting gameplay bits, and crammed it all together. If you ever wanted to give a friend a quick idea as to what Sonic Lost World is about, perhaps this would be the video to show… or maybe not.

Think this is too stupid? Let me know – you’ll never see it again! Hopefully I’ll start to get better at this video stuff as time passes.
