So, the internet in our hotel is about dial up speed, which means I had to let this upload overnight and then attempt to put it up this morning. Basically we just talked about everything we played yesterday, such as Super Mario 3D, Kid Icarus, Skyward Sword, etc etc, and then we answer your questions as well! It’s a good time overall, so check it out and listen to it while you continue to catch up on all the E3 news!

Iwata talks Wii U pricing, Wii won’t disappear after Wii U release
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Everyone pretty much knew that Nintendo would share any launch related news for the Wii U. The console is at least a year away, so we won’t be getting any details until a few months before the system is ready to ship.
However, Satoru Iwata told Nikkei that Wii U won’t be sold at the Wii’s current price. Shocker, isn’t it? This means that the console will probably cost more than ¥20,000.
In other Iwata news, the Nintendo president indicated that the Wii won’t immediately disappear once the Wii U is out in stores, just like the 3DS and DS situation.

Impressions from Day One at E3
Posted on 13 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, DS, Features, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
*Note- this feature article was not written by me. I did not write this. This is not from me. It was written by somebody else. It was written by Jack from GamingEverything.
Day One at E3
After arriving at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown LA with Laura via bus, Austin, Laura, and I walked into a gigantic line, which we presumed to be the line to determine your place in line for the major company’s demo booths. Since waiting in line is a bit less fun than eating, we decided to check out the media hospitality room to grab some free grub. Unfortunately, we were greeted with another line, and after a thirty minute wait while chatting and taking photos with a cool dude from XboxPulse.com, we received some filling chicken sandwich meals.
Once we got done stuffing ourselves with free food, we hopped on over to the enormous West Hall to see all that Nintendo had to offer. Austin was the only one of us who got to see the Nintendo press conference in person (or at all, for that matter), and since I had been busy getting to the convention center earlier that morning, I had only heard secondhand reports of the goings-on in the Nokia Theater at that point. I was very excited to see the new system in person, to demo all of the announced 3DS games, and hopefully to put my Skyward Sword fears to rest. Once again however, there was a monstrous line waiting for us, so monstrous that we were unable to get hands-on with the freshly christened ‘WiiU’ that day (you’ll be able to see the six hour line in all its glory in That One Show: Episode 17).
Miyamoto Q&A details from roundtable event
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Miyamoto on casual games for 3DS
– nintendogs + cats was made before Mario
– This was unusual for Nintendo
– Miyamoto: as long as nintendogs is out there, casual gamers will have something to play
– Built-in 3DS features such as Face Raiders were made more for casual experiences and they’re included with the system so you have experiences to enjoy when you buy the system
– Nintendo focusing more on traditional experiences with 3DS
– This is the area that Miyamoto is putting his energy into for now
– Developers making casual games that will be revealed when development is more complete
