Wow, that was definitely more entertaining than the Sony conference. Overall, Nintendo had a few good surprises, but the rest was only confirmation of what was already known. Some people are already complaining about the graphics, but I don't think Nintendo could release a console, for the price that they wish to release it at, and include a great graphics card. Nintendo isn't hoping to be the number 1 console. What Nintendo is hoping for, though, is to be the number 1 seller. The other 2 consoles may have better graphics, but Nintendo is striving for better playability, ease of use, and integration into the homes of people who are not willing to purchase either a Sony or MS high tech, perhaps consumer unfriendly, console. I was suprised to see a new Mario game so early. One had to be coming, but I was still pleasantly surprised. It looked good. Metroid looked about the same as the GameCube version, but I only watched a small video. As for the Zelda announcement, initially, I thought that they were only going to release it on the Wii. I was expecting a whole bunch of unhappy GameCube owners, but I still respected the move on Nintendo's part. Then they announced it will release on both consoles. That'll keep the GameCubers happy, but also move a lot of Wii's. Building a speaker into the phone is a great idea. It's little things like that that show creativity on Nintendos part. The accelerometer in the nun-chuk looked to be put to good use as well. I can't wait to bash open some doors or shield bash some enemies. Overall, I thought it was an entertaining show. What I really like, is that they didn't drastically alter the console since last showing it. Nintendo just seemed to show that the product is final and has been for a while now. I love the network integration feature and the controllers. Score so far: Nintendo > Sony
