So it's like you hold a button to change camera? Seems unwieldy compared to dual analogue.

Works like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask on the N64. In open areas, the camera always follows Link from behind unless you do a sharp turn. Then you either wait for it to slowly recenter or hit the Z-trigger to quiclky snap to back-view.

Thanks for the info, I just couldn't imagine it feeling right to control the camera with the pointer.

It works great.

Maybe there was stuff leaked but it's too dissapointing to share? :/

I'd prefer this to spoiling the only suprise of the conference a la Microsoft.

Are you kidding? People enjoy being stormcrows of letdowns even more than passing along happy news. Remember the massive meltdown once people got wind of wii specs?

 

[AceBandage]

Are you kidding? If it was disappointing stuff, it would be leaked even faster. That would guarantee lots of hits for sites.

 

[MYE]

Yup, bad news travels faster

 

[Medalion]

E3 Bear got to em all

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Or maybe everything has already been leaked except what it and the exclusive games look like.

 

[mushy45]

i am ready

 

[herzogzwei1989]

so fucking close now... Nintendo needs to save us all from this very very very insane E3 so far. Sony too.

 

[SolarPowered]

Jesus Christ the MS conference was bad. This is Nintendo's chance to inflict Soviet damage on their asses.

They better take it!

 

[Fernando Rocker]

Or maybe there are no leaks because there is nothing to leak and the Café thing was just a hoax by 4chan...

They took it last year when the same thing happened.
And with a new console that is less waggle focused, you can bet that we'll see some awesome stuff.

 

[Diglet]

Im expecting a $300 pricepoint.
Better graphics than the 360 or ps3.
none of that touchscreen controllers though, way to fragile

Touchscreen controllers were already confirmed by Nikkei, a Japanese technology news outlet.

It's happening.

 

[Trurl]

Where did the haptic feedback come from? That's just wild speculation, right?

Edit: the OP says it is.

Next year will be the same thing I bet!

nintendo conference will be on my bday, here's hoping for some generous gifts from them

Cafe is Nintendos weird way of responding to Apple's casual app market.

Cafe is Nintendos weird way of responding to Apple's casual app market.

Nintendo has been doing Apps this whole generation, though.
I doubt the Cafe is meant to compete in any way with the AppStore.
Rather, it's meant to be something that people are familiar with.
Much in the same way that WiiSports and the WiiRemote were familiar to people because you could play the game like you did in real life, tablets and touchscreens have become such a big part of our daily lives that a large tablet like game controller only seems natural.

 

[herzogzwei1989]

little over half a day away.

 

[GDGF]

I hope Nintendo stays sealed tight until tomorrow. Advanced leaks (among other things) ruined the Microsoft conference. I don't want Nintendo's going the same way.

 

[which1spink]

Nintendo's press conference starts in about 5 hours, right?

Not with app store - but a grab at that audience. The Facebook/Apple generation.

 

[woodsey1982]

I'm off to sleep ( 00:07 ) here - I demand a full leak by the time I awake. Goodnight sirs!

 

[Caesar III]

Geoff just said there will be another part of the AC trailer tomorrow after the Nintendo briefing. Coincidence?

More like 17.

Hmmm, kind of. But also not exactly. It will be focuses much more on social gaming, yes. Though, I dunno if it'll fully appeal to the Farmville crowd.

I think a big factor is in the media they talk to. Like Forbes spoiled the God of War thing for Sony tonight. USA Today has had a habit of spoiling Nintendo stuff but depending on how hands off Nintendo has been people who have seen cafe outside the industry may be very tiny

 

[worldrunover]

I think 2004 was the last Nintendo E3 to live up to the hype. Somehow, I think this one will. I guess we'll see soon enough...

Same here.

Halo 4's reveal would've been great if I hadn't known about it in advance.

 

[Medalion]

It will live up to some person's hype I'm sure, but the majority of GAF? Who's to say...

 

[AceBandage]

Huh?
2006 and 2010 were both awesome and easily beat the hype.

E3 2004 of course had the big Zelda for GameCube reveal.

I hope Nintendo's E3 2011 blows that away.

 

[Instro]

Agreed.

Lol, why else would they make a tablet controller.

My only fear for the Cafe are the controller prices, I expect close ~$100USD per controller. :/

Tighter than a boy scout's rectum...you can count on it.

BG&E2 not coming to this generation, but development is far along.

Cafe title confirmed!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

2006 and 2010 were awesome. If it goes by what they started doing at e3 2010, learning from their horrible previous years, I think this one is going to kick ass.

 

[Truth101]

BG&E2 not coming to this generation, but development is far along.

It will be amazing when

Spoiler

if

this is shown at Nintendo's conference tomorrow.

Wasn't it also in one of those 4chan game list leaks, or am I remembering wrong?

Pretty much.

 

[Gahiggidy]

At my new job there is a TV in the ground floor lobby showing CNN. I wonder if the security men would be cool about switching it to G4tv for the Nintendo presser?

 

[DrForester]

Even if stuff leaked now, I'd still give Nintendo a ton of credit for how good a job they've done on lockdowns so far.

As I just said in the BG&E2 topic; if it was on Nintendo's conference tomorrow I doubt they would've released this statement today.

I really do hope to be wrong though.

 

[Marvie_3]

This.

I dunno, but these are the kind that man metal detectors.

I really enjoyed this tweet after the MS conference was done.

It's not easy to prepare a smooth #NintE3ndo presentation, but we enjoy it. Now Mr. Miyamoto is changing his script again! #IwataSays
