Looking back at last years press conference, it truly was spectacular! Hopefully this year's will be just as epic.

Here are my semi-realistic hopes and dreams:

Wii
Storage solution
Kid Icarus revealed
Pikmin 3 revealed
Disaster localization this year
Fatal Frame localization this year
Nintendo publishing The Conduit
Kirby Wii (the scrapped GCN game)
A trailer for either the new Mario or Zelda game (based on what Miyamoto said at E3)

DS
Fire Emblem localized this year
ASH localized this year
Soma Bringer localized this year
Metroid Dread revealed
Confirm new DS rumors?

If Nintendo did all of these things, it would be more than enough to appease all of the people complaining that Nintendo has abandoned hardcore gamers. None of these hopes are really that unlikely, so its entirely possible.

And when i said MOTHER 3+, I meant like a upgraded game.

I know that, I was just mentioning that they can't use that name, because that's what the soundtrack is called. But I don't want an improved MOTHER 3, I just want an English version of the game for WiiWare or something.

An improved Mother 3 wouldn't hurt; it's not like that would be a bad thing.

But yeah, it's Kid Icarus.

I live in PST, so I'll definitely be up for this! A little under three hours to go!

It looks almost identical to the current DS Lite. Bigger screens, better speakers, and a 300,000 pixel cam.

DS Shop and DS Ware?!?! =O. Megaton!! Maybe even Gameboy VC games too! A built in web browser? That's awesome if it's fast!

Too bad we'll have to wait until 2009, but $180 isn't a bad price for all of the new features they're cramming in there.

What's with the name though, "DSi?" That sounds like an Apple product. Maybe they are competing with the iPhone after all.

Storage solution: open up the SD slot!!!

Yay for boring old E3 stuff...

Punch-Out confirmed! Now we just need Kid Icarus!

SIN AND FLIPPIN' PUNISHMENT 2!!!! The internet has been won!

Yesssss, the next Tales mothership title confirmed 100% for Wii! What's Sengoku Musou?

Dude, this is already much better than last E3! I think I can forgive Nintendo now!

Wow, is that Mario & Luigi 3 that I see in that DS montage?!

Yeah, it looked like the other Mario and Luigi games. It showed Mario and Luigi kicking a shell back and forth at an enemy as well as Bowser as a playable character unleashing his fire breath.

I didn't see any babies. Bros. items would be fine if they bring back bros. attacks as well!

It'll probably be region locked like the last two. It's supposed to come out sometime in 2009, but we'll probably get an exact date tomorrow.

I hope our conference tomorrow is just as epic and includes localization dates for all of the Japanese games already out and coming out.

Neither the DS Phat or DS Lite are region locked. They are both region free; odds are, the DSi will be region free too.

Oh yeah, duh. I was thinking of the Wii since we're on the General Wii board. It's late... Importing it still might mess up which apps you can download, though.

Also, Punch-Out was not officially announced, but it was rumored around last E3.

Ah, never heard of Samurai Warriors.

I didn't recognize quite a few of those games as well like that space game with the flying robot, or that Wii game where you would pause the action to draw symbols on the screen a la Okami, or that action RPG-looking game with that chick with a sword.

I HAZ TEH QUESTIONZ.
can you tarde ina DS Lite for a DSi?

Sure, but it'll probably be only worth about half of the price of the DSi, so you'll have to chip in some money still.

From what Iwata said, while you can download straight to the SD card, you still have to have it on your system memory to play.

Really? I thought you would be able to play directly off the SD card! If not, that's not really a storage solution at all...
