They're saying now they're going to release a bunch of brain teaser type games for non-gamers to get into. An "old-school" looking Mario game, Yoshi, Star Fox, Diddy Kong, Final Fantasy III (before Japanese only), a Tony Hawk game, a DS-only Zelda game picking up after Windwaker. Also showing off the soon to be released DS Lite, smalling and lighter version of the DS. Lots of ethnically diverse people playing on the DS.
The President of Nintendo is out now. He just said it flat out. "Our new goal is to target two different types of consumers: those who have played but lost interest, as well as those who have never played before." He also said he still wants to appeal to the core gamer market.
He's showing off how the Wii is going to do this now. Good move, appealing to classics like Tetris, saying they're trying to make games as popular as that possible once again.
Talking load times: the ability to open and close the DS at any point without worrying about saving or having to reload. He says the Wii is going to do something similiar.
Wii Connect 24, the console goes into a standby mode where it uses little power but is still running some function, like being online. This lets you download content and that kind of thing without have the system actually running. Kinda scary if you ask me. I want to be able the shut the damn thing off if I want.
Showing some screen shots of sports games with multiplayer.
"Everyday there is something new for everyone. Everyday." That's the president's closing statement.
