I'm so excited about the new Punch-Out!! There's only one way to celebrate: a geek rock montage!

I guess that rumor about Punch-Out! ended up being true!
Mario & Luigi, looks like Bowser is playable!
Sin and Punishment 2? Do you think Brawl had any influence?
I'd also like to know more about the new franchises being released too.

Looks like there's a new Harvest Moon for the DS on its way as well.
Playable Bowser in M&L3 looks awesome, I can assume Peach will be as well.
I also hope Wario and Waluigi are in it!

Looks like all the good stuff happened while I was asleep. Least I woke up to something good. One of Nintendo's biggest criticisms is that they no longer produce new characters or new franchises - here they are showing a crapton of new franchises being published under them, and everyone's pooing their pants over Mario & Luigi and Punch-Out...  Isn't it ironic, dontcha think? There's a lot of closed-mindedness at work here. Sure, we need more information about some of them before we can make a judgement call - but there's a realistic WiiMotion Plus swordfighting game, a 2D Platformer where you throw yourself around to destroy blocks and a game about flying around a space station. There's so much potential excitement being ignored because everyone wants to punch Glass Joe in the face I, for one, am thrilled to see Nintendo trying new things, and I hope there are some successes in there so they don't feel they have to brand everything with Mario or Pokemon. As a final note... where's my retooled WiiMotion Plus Project HAMMER! Well, for me at least, I can't tell what is Nintendo and what's not. So I'm not sure who is making the franchises. So, I couldn't tell who's doing the new franchises. All I knew was Nintendo is making a quiz game. EDIT:Never mind. Looks like GoNintendo solved the problem for me. |

I'm not sure I'll get this DS, as I just bought a new Nintendo DS Lite and I do need the GBA slot.
It took long for a new Punch-Out!! to appear; I'm glad they're making it.

Isn't it ironic, dontcha think? Only a New MOTHER game (or an oficial release of any MOTHER/Earthbound in this part of the world) could bring more happines to my day than Mario & Luigi 3, I will be exited about these games when I know more about them, but for now, I cant get over the fact there is a new Mario and Luigi game comming. |

All I knew was Nintendo is making a quiz game. I could recognize Nintendo in Japanese, so I had a pretty easy time. Does that mean I'm a huge geek? I'm pretty excited about everything. I didn't get a DS Lite, but this looks like it has enough improvements over my regular DS to warrant a purchase. I LOVED Trace Memory. Now I just need a Hotel Dusk 2. Don't know a whole lot about the new Nintendo series, but several look really cool. |

Well, I was kinda bullshitting by this info... What else but classic games could fill this category? Maybe I'm just a little too excited.  |

Sweet, Mario & Luigi RPG 3 and the New Punch-Out seems very interesting. Yet again this is a another new beginning for NIntendo DS.

First half of the American conference has just finished ( I say first half, because like the japan conference its a two day thing)
Mostly repeating stuff from the japanese conference, new stuff includes:
A big demo of Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon for DS. First ever multiplayer Fire Emblem, with online vs mode, and you can lend members of your battling team to a friend online as well! Also, an online Armory where you can spend all your in game currency on the constantly updating items and weapons.
New channel for Wii: the Wii Speak channel. That's right, an entire channel where you can shout obscenities at your friends! Basically, when you buy the Wii Speak accessory, there's a coupon inside the box that lets you get this channel for free.
Another new channel: the Club Nintendo channel. Earn points by registering products, and spend said points on exclusive nintendo tat! Just like if you're a member on the official website!
