Dragon Quest!

don't let us down about online Reggie.

Here we go... MARIO KART WII ONLINE Q1 2008!!!!!!!!!

1Q08 Mario Kart online for Wii.

Wow, Guitar Hero. How 3 years ago.

Mario Kart Wii online early next year!

Cool I guess, but I'm sick of Mario Kart.

this presentation is almost as bad as last nights x-box was

It would be cool to download "3rd party" Mii's that look like characters from games or something.

Hell yeah!

9:38 a.m.: WiiWare. Says it'll begin next year. "And today, I can announce a new channel. One devotes specifically to the phenomenon known as Miis. Called Check Mii Out, it's all about creating and showing off Miis. There will be contests based on this functionality, etc."

"Will Nintendo ever get serious about real online gaming? The complete Wii gamers is already suing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to battle Pokemon online." Etc. Then uses Mario Strikers Charged.

"But I know you want more. No matter which formm of football you prefer, EA Sports will have you going online this fall." FIFA and Madden are online-enabled, as we know. 9:38 a.m: 5.6 million game downloads on Virtual Console. 112 titles available.

I'd rather have Kirby Air Ride online.

Mario Cart Wii Online!!!

Looks just like my dads Mario Kart.

Nintendo's own racing wheel attachment... Has a button or two underneath. Packaged with Mario Kart, so that's good.

And a new Wheel holder for the Wiimote packaged with Mario Kart.

Wheel packaged in. Awesome.

Wait. I have to steer with that shit.

Great. Online snaking to ruin that experience and a cheesy wheel.

This conference sucks.

Considering that you thought Microsoft's conference was worse than Sony's '06 conference, we'll be taking this with a grain of salt.

9:40 a.m.: Square's DQM: Joker will go online with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Guitar Hero 3 Legends of Wii means that "you can now walk into the Wii hours," says Reggie.

"All of this should at least suggest that we're serious about letting you show your stuff online."

Mario Kart for Wii goes online in the first quarter of next year! "This is not your father's Mario Kart." Online multiplayer battle mode, too. "We also think more racers means more fun. How many more? Well, stay tuned."

Shows off custom Wii wheel that will debut with Mario Kart for Wii. Pretty awesome? Yes.

Kart looks good from what we can actually see. It'll be nice to see some videos online.

Pixy,

I don't know who you're thinking about, I didn't pay attention to the conferences last year.

Pretty disappointing so far. Nothing unexpected. He talked about "fresh" gaming yet the biggest announcement is decade-old EA Sports games online and Mario Kart.

9:43 a.m. Another video montage, this time focused on the expanded audience of Wii and DS. More YouTube clips and media whoring. Dirty, filthy media whoring. It's making Bozon all hot. We can tell and it's disgusting.

Pics of the wheel?
