About this "big game": Geoff asked about a new game; a new Mario or Zelda. Reggie responded with "Come on! We just had a Zelda game!"
.....
you didn't. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess came out over a year ago. It was one of the release titles of the Wii. Now PlayStation 3 came out roughly the same time as the Wii and is already announcing sequels for their big hits: Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2... And Twilight Princess wasn't even made for the Wii! It was originally designed for the Gamecube, and was then ported over to the Wii. (Incase you didn't know that)
From this you can tell this "big game" won't be any big popular franchise that has already been made on the Wii, like Mario, Zelda or Metroid.
Also, we already know that Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a big hit for the Wii, and as such, was being advertised back in mid-2007. It had reports, websites, articles in magazines... all almost a year before it came out. So Nintendo REALLY isn't a company to keep their big hits a secret. None of the companies are, because financially, that's a very stupid move.
So now we can tell that this "big game" isn't actually that big at all. Well, certainly nowhere near the standards of Brawl. We also know it isn't a game from a big franchise that has already been made on the Wii (or ported).
From this, my guess is that this may be a Mario Party 9 (as that game doesn't change very much, and could be made quite quickly compared to other games), and possibly be accompanied by a new StarFox game.
You could argue that since Mario Party always includes a big variety of characters, it would be somewhat maximizing all of their key franchises. (You can't seriously expect a new Mario, Metroid AND Zelda game all by the end of 2008) This is the only realistic possibility for that aspect.
Also, Reggie talked about how this game(s) would not only excite the Nintendo audience, but the expanded audience as well. Again, this fits for Mario Party, as the game has always been very easy to understand, and can be picked up and played from the get-go.
Also, StarFox is one of the few franchises that has been staying fairly popular, and is popular enough to put a character in Brawl. I honestly wouldn't be very surprised if they released a new StarFox game, to keep those StarFox loyal, and to try and attract new people into the franchise via Brawl.
This is why I believe that Mario Party 9 will be the "big hit" Reggie was talking about, and it will be accompanied by possibly a StarFox game to keep the Nintendo gamers interested.
mkman91 said: nintendo isn't going to every be the best choice. right now 360 is the way to go, but that could change
na, i think nintendo will always be a good choice cause they consistently have great games. i mean come on just look at this http://top100.ign. of the games on here are nintendo especially the top 50(i hope GT doesn't kill me for linking IGN). And for those who don't like the wii for its graphics, i have two things to say: First games aren't all about graphics, I mean some of the best games ever made were sprite based. Second if you want graphics don't get a 360 or ps3, get a decent pc, PC's get most of the best console games, plus lots of great exclusive games. And (in my opinion) most games (excluding ubisoft ports, cough, Warrior Within, cough) play and look better on a pc.
I think that Geoff interviews Reggie like that because it seems that they are good friends, ever since Geoff faced against Reggie in a friendly game of Wii Tennis, I mean I'm sure if me and my friends were in the positions of Reggie and Geoff, I would be hassling my friends like that because I know him well.
I think that Geoff interviewed that guy who represented the 360 so rude like, which is not really what I observed, is because like most of the people on this site, he sensed that he was full of bull.
And I think that Geoff interviwed the PS3 representatives like that was because the guy who was from Naughty seemed so tense and nervous. lol
Nintendo is the underdog in this league and they are completely underated! They still have not yet earned the recognition that they so truly deserve and have so truly awaited for. I mean, lets not all forget, that we ALL grew up playing Donkey Kong, Super Mario, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, and MANY other great games, with the NES and SNES. If you think about it really, if it wasnt for Nintendo, we probably wouldnt have the games that we have to day because just like how PS3, 360, and Wii are revolutionizing games today, the NES and SNES revolutionized gaming in their own eras. And at the time that the NES and SNES came out, video games were at their peak position and consumers and games were at a stand still, but they just raised the bar a lot higher than they think.
I really hope that Nintendo could pull something REALLY spectacular out of their hats that will amaze everyone! Including both Sony fanboys and Microsoft fanboys, even though if you'd know me, I am a Sony fanboy myself.
Trilam said: I believe so as well. Maybe both? I mean, the rumor of a new Kid Icarus has been around since the N64, and they just added Pit to the roster of SSBB. That game, paired with a new (and good) Star Fox will be a force to reckon with.
wow thats like there was interview saying twilight pricess was supposed to be the last N64 title ever made
