This Nintendo conference was different. The tone was different. Nintendo's different.
It started with games. Lot's and lot's of games. Then the speaker came out and reiterated what we all know so well: Nintendo is about the games. Then he took a few jabs at Sony and Microsoft.
Then they showed us new games. MP2 and Starfox look incredible.
Finally we got to what we were all waiting for: The Nintendo DS. It's graphics are better then your best expectations. They talked about the multiplayer and how it's up to 16 players etc. Then he said something like "But maybe you want to play with someone a little farther away. Maybe a few time zones away. It has Wi-Fi! "This is beyond online, this is no line".
It ended with a surprise many of us have been waiting a long time for: "Realistic Zelda"!!! It's more then you can imagine. When the Zelda movie ended everything went black. Then the shape of a man holding a sword and a shield became visible. It was Shigeru Miyamoto weilding the master sword and Link's shield! There were even sound effects when he swung it! He said "No, I'm not Link. But I know him." :D :D :D Then he talked about how as in the past Zelda has changed. Link is different. He's grown up now. Then it was over.
I still have chills.
(All of that's from memory and it was long so forgive me if I got some of the details wrong.)
