I also wouldn't mind it formally announced that Spore is a Wii console exclusive, although thats already been talked about by Wright.

They could easily counteract the MS Mii-ripoff with an update to the Mii channel. Something I think they should have done a while ago.

And they need to seriously address the memory space issues.

I'll be live-blogging commentary about the Nintendo conference on VGT's home page when it starts in 30 minutes for anyone interested. There are numerous video feeds on the web and it's being carried on G4 for those near a TV.

might have to check that out. do you need a coupon for the 20%?

The 20% is automatic and applies to everything (not just video games) ending in a 0 or an 8. Also of interest, RE4 is currently at the 9.98 price, 7.98 after discount.

Wow, what a lame ass to start with. Guess the message is Nintendo is for douches & soccer moms.

Please let Cammie Dunaway die and spare me any more.

I thought that was Carrot Top...

"Now if everyone will welcome me in joining Iwata..." - Cammie

She doesn't have the stage presence of Reggie, does she? Nor the ass-kicking-ness.

Maybe it was just the G4 camera, but that snowboard game looked like a Dreamcast game.

Ahh, finally some good stuff. Bring on the Animal Crossing.

Yes, Wiispeak. Pedophiles for the win.

Actually this game looks kind of cool, but it also looks identical to the GameCube one. Same items in the houses and everything.

OMG!!!! Wii Speak!!!! It's like a speaker phone for the Wii! How novel!

Reggie! Reggie! Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!

Confirms AC: City Folk by EOY w/ Wii Speak attachment.

I'm not watching the conference, just reading the VGTalk updates...what is Wiispeak? Can we finally chat while we're playing online?

The speaker sits on top of the sensor bar and has a mic.

Now I guess they announce the new DS that removes the GBA slot and screws Activision.

Failing to see the point of WiiSpeak then...

The original Xbox outsold the PS3? Sucks to be Sony.

I still contend that they should have released a Web Cam for the Wii. Turn it into a video phone if you're really trying to reach my parents and grandparents. My mom would love to have an easy way to see and chat with her granddaughters every day.

I guess they figure a group will sit in the living room and chat over speaker phone.

Nintendo is probably afraid a headset couldn't be monitored and children might get online with a pedo.

Just show Kid Icarus already.

"Just" previewing 3 new games.

1st - Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Ah, Nintendo. Always thinking about the pedos.

We are only going to show three games means we have spent our wad this year and have nothing for the Fall.

They only show three and they pick these?

2nd - Raving Rabbids: TV Party... sit on your ass on the Wii Fit board...

Third parties. Will they ever stop failing the Wii.

3rd - Call of Duty: World at War. Seems to be a near-on-rails shooter...

Well, the good news is these 3 are all 3rd party. Nintendo still has something up their sleeve.

AH! Cammie is back.
