I think he means eventually a third party developper going to leak information. It will eventually happen just like XBOX 360.

Cool as I suspected.

Hopefully I just hope I don't go insane and kill myself before then.

EDIT: And aries is full of ****, everything he said can be dismissed now.

Sigh, told you so. Now for some good news.

Okay, ya know, I thought I knew what was coming down the pipe, and then my eyeballs are burned out of their sockets by "that preview" of Metroid Prime 3. Yeah, okay, Samus looks like she did in MP2E, but her new ship is da bomb.

I can't wait for this game. I was lucky enough to catch a Retro Studios employee at breakfast this morning and asked him a few questions, notably, "I take it the ship firing its ordnance in the preview is a sign of things to come?" He just smiled at me and said, "Metroid Prime 3 is going to surprise you to such a degree that you'll be exhausted by the time you're finished with it."

Gack! My mind ran wild with speculation. "What does that mean?" I asked myself. "WHAT... DOES... THAT... MEAN?!" I guess I'll have to wait until next year when the Revolution debuts.

Meh, if you read back, I said I was cautiously optimistic meaning I had reservations about this whole 19th of may nonsense. But ya, I was optimistic about it none the less. No worries :)

Hi people is there another conference going on today?

If there is can I have a link to the stream, many thanks.

On a side note why is neowin not displaying properly on firefox?

Reggie said they won't show the controller until the other two lock in the specs.

Reggie: "We will release the controller when our competition completely locks down their hardware specs and cannot steal our ideas."

"We want them to get all their news out, then we will show off our controller."

Neh, Sega had analogue before Nintendo with the Sega 3D controller that was made for Nights on the Saturn.

Not in Japan, N64 came out before Nights and it's controller there.

from nintendo.com

Owners will have the option of equipping a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content"

what? why? that is a big letdown :(

anyway, seems like this was a dud..

Well to keep cost down, plus for this generation of console's you had to buy something to play DVD's so I see no issue there. Exact same thing.

Was watching the Reggie interview live, it attracted a small audience around the Gamespot booth.

Interesting :).

It's 4:30, why is Reggie's interview not up yet?!?!?

Sorry for the useless commenting, but I'm really excited for what he has to say. Anything new emerge, besides the controllers no-show?

[-}x0{-]

he didnt say anything other than what we already know.

he did reiterate that the new controllers will be able to work with all the old systems, and gameplay will be immersive...

[Erich]

I like the word immersive :p

[inthefade]

to say i'm sofa king confused about all this hype , would be an understatement...

....

one wonders when will the truth be known, if ever

[-}x0{-]

i forgot to mention reggie also said that they will be back to show zelda at 5pm, and gamespot lists 5pm a MUST-SEE

The phrase most pc gamers know is "when it's done" :p

I don't know what the hell is with the second website, can anyone tell me anything?

585943051[/snapback]

If you look at the page source it links to this: http://www.8bitjoystick.com/archives/jake_...tem_in_2004.php

Which is a really old site.

[-}x0{-]

that www.nintendo21.com site is nothing

a nintendo site wouldnt have ads all over it.

You can now watch the Reggie interview free at gamespot.

Reggie even mentioned that he saw the Nintendo On video and he was very impressed and said that the person who made it should call nintendo (i guess for hiring or to be assasinated).
