For news, videos, and general "cor, look at that!" excitement.

To get the ball rolling, Tennis confirmed for the Wii, and some stuff about fishing rods in Wii Zelda.

Before anyone starts hyperventilating, there isn't a Wii Zelda announced yet, there's just extra things that you can do with the next Gamecube Zelda on a Wii.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 8 May 2006 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, yeah, I was a bit misleading.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 8 May 2006 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

Jaws Unleashed footage!. lolz.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 8 May 2006 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

― antexit (antexit), Monday, 8 May 2006 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

― city of gyros (chaki), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:32 (nineteen years ago)

Jade Empire for PC, at last! FF Chronicles DS confirmed! Hard drives in all PS3s, launch still on for November, Gran Turismo HD will be online but looks like it's just a hi-res GT4, apart from that. Rainbow Six for PS3 set in Vegas, looking lovely, but meh, it's still Rainbow Six.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

Assassin's Creed looks like it might be cute (nice eagle). Interstellar Marines looks shite.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

Sony's pre-show conference seems troublingly content-lite. Nintendos tomorrow will presumably be more fun.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

Nintendo's, I mean,

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:54 (nineteen years ago)

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

No, I'm at home in London, reading IGN. My friend dave is there. I'm jealous.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 00:04 (nineteen years ago)

yah and get fired! great idea, numb nuts!

booth babes are banned this year :(

― city of gyros (chaki), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 05:32 (nineteen years ago)

phil, we were supposed to go to this, y'know

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 05:35 (nineteen years ago)

chaki, any amusing booth-babe-like character statues, like the starcraft: ghost one from yesteryears?(the one featuring armoured cameltoe from last year)

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 05:36 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm. Tilt sensor in the PS3 controller. But no rumble. And no weird banana shaped thing, thankfully.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 07:31 (nineteen years ago)

Singstar PS3 will have downloadable content!

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 07:33 (nineteen years ago)

oh, i'm glad they went back to the dualshock design.

― sleep (sleep), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

booth babes are banned this year :(

how is that enforced? is there just a blanket attractive-woman ban?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

i thought that they were just de-emphasized due to size/traffic concerns, but not banned outright

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:15 (nineteen years ago)

you can't ban an IDEA.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:19 (nineteen years ago)

haha Slashdot had to start another whole story to contain all the bitching about Sony's announcements. Jesus christ. (then again I think they had 3 threads talking about the name Wii)

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

I guess sony must figure in an era where some folks will spend $350+ on a phone they won't sweat $600 for a video game

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

Wii zelda being demoed now!

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

MARIO!

However, seeing the Zelda demo, I wonder - is this new controller REALLY going to make games easier to get into?

― schwantz (schwantz), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

Two versions of zelda, one GC, one Wii, both released same day as the wii console. So I was right at the top of the thread! Accidentally, but still.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

Super Mario Galaxy!

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

Every time he says "quick rotation to do a sword spin" or something like that, I feel my arms getting tired.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

What a horrible speaker...
