Matt R's Press Conference Notes

Some choice quotes from today.

Most of these were quickly scribbled downs, so check back with Pixlbit for the full E3 scoop on Wiiu, 3DS, and the rest of E3 news.

----------

"Great exercise!"

-Shigeru Miyamoto, on playing Zelda: Skyward Sword

OOT 3D soundtrack available for those first to register it with Club Nintendo

A CD of the Zelda 25th anniversary concerts planned for this year will be part of Zelda: Skyward Sword's promotion (my guess is it's a preorder bonus)

"Look, we hear you...'"

--Reggie Fils-Aime's opening words

"You want contradictions, no problem"

--Reggie

Star Fox 64 3DS will show video of each player for online (?) multiplayer using the 3DS camera

Kid Icarus has multiplayer, and it looks like it will have different selectable characters

Luigi's Mansion 2 is a sequel and will have new, multiple mansions.

New 3DS games shown: Ace Combat, Cave Story, Tetris, RE: Revelations, Driver Renegade, Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions, Tekken, MGS 3: Snake Eater, among others

Free Pokedex 3D on eShop only. 16 are included, the rest have to be collected by street pass, AR cards, or a friend.

Wiiu looks like it is going to cater to the hardcore:

"Could it also be a perfect fit just for you? Absolutely."

--Reggie Fils-Aime

"Infinitely complex, perfectly simple"

--Satoru Iwata

"Designed to appeal to all people, particularly the most experienced"

That about sums up the press conference.

Say what you will about the 3DS lineup, Nintendo is bringing new technology to the gaming experience that can't be duplicated elsewhere, and I can't wait to try it out this week!
