I don't know what to think. I really, really doubt that Nintendo is going to show anything big tomorrow, but that is partly because I don't want to get my hopes up again. There are some interesting points, though, like those videos that were up at nintendo.com the night before, the weird "Nintendo Now" picture that was just recently changed at nitnendo.com, all of the stuff that the supposedly fake Aries predicted that came true (some really obvious, like SSB Online and wireless controllers, but some not-so-obvious, like being able to play every single Nintendo home console game ever made, and that the press conference would be dissapointing), and the strange comments Iwata and Reggie made at the press conference.
The one thing that I definitely don't buy is the connection to that cool Nintendo On fan-made video.
So, this is all probably nothing. Just a series of weird coincidences. Nothing to get our hopes up for.
And it's definately as good as they say it is. While the first half of the movie is on par with episodes 1 and 2, the last half is as powerful (or more so) than any other movie in the series. The climax is just beautiful in it's execution, and wrought with emotion.
I won't give anything away just yet, but it's a very powerful movie, and wraps everything up nicely. The only possible complaint, which is almost a compliment, is that it does exactly what everyone expected, and wanted, it to do.
Edit: Well, it's 3am in the morning, and I can't exactly remember everything I wanted to type in this space, but I will say this: It left me wanting to watch episodes 4,5 and 6 all over again... now if only they could improve the light-saber fight in Episode 4 between OB1 and Vader. After watching Episode 3, it's almost an anti-climax.
Yesterday we smashed the previous posting record with an amazing 667 new posts. The previous record was 470 posts, and that was two days ago. Before that the record was 426, set on January 29, 2004. Neat, eh?
Also, new screen shots show that not just Disney characters will be fighting by your side this time. Auron is now a potential partner that fights with you in the game, at least!
But more than this, I want to see that whole "protect the world order" Prime Directive of the Disney world (wait...) to vanish so I can take the various partners, BESIDES Donald and Goofy, to whatever world I wish.
