Ocarina of time has Master quest in the game as well as a boss challenge mode. On DSi will be available the four swords zelda game free for everyone. Skyward Sword will be out this Holiday season around the world and will also get a limited edition golden wii controller.
The legend of Zelda 25th anniversary symphony concerts will happen this fall in every region of the world, along side two official soundtracks, one for Ocarina of Time 3D which is available for those that register the game with club nintendo, and the other will be for the symphony orchestra.
Iwata replaces Miyamoto on the stage to talk about the changing of the gaming industry and the way people view each console. He now starts to say that the new home console will be made to bring in all kinds of gamers, and not focus on just bringing in one type. But that will come up later, now he moves onto games for the 3DS
It starts off with stuff like Mario Kart, Star Fox, Super Mario Bros, Kid Icarus, Luigis Mansion in the trailers. Now, on comes good old Reggie. To start off, he covers Mario Kart for the 3DS which looks even better than the one they have on the Wii graphically. Courses seem to be in the air, on the ground, underwater and so on. You get stuff like gliders and rotors for boats as you cover different areas of each course. And the release will be out this winter.
Star Fox is next to hit the screen. You can use buttons to turn and manoeuvre the characters or you can use the built in gyro-sensor to move instead. Much like how the PSV was showing to use it's 6-axis you could say.
Super Mario 3D finally gets it full unveiling with some gameplay. it looks to incorporate 3D and 2D gameplay, and you suits shown are the likes of the tanuki suit and fire flower. And will be out this year.
Kid Icarus: Uprising returns with new gameplay shown, as well as what looks to be multiplayer as well. It also comes with new Augmented reality cards. Multiplayer looks like it will be 3 on 3, and the augmented reality cards can be used to battle other players.
Luigi finally makes its triumphant return with Luigis Mansion 2. Gameplay looks exactly as you would hope, keeping to what it was always good at. It will include more than one mansion this time round.
Now onto the third party games, showcasing Resident Evil: The Mercenaries, Ace Combat 3D, Tetris, Cave Story 3D, Revelations, Driver Renegade, Pac-Man & Galaga, Tekken 3D & MGS: Snake Eater. He touches on the virtual console for the 3DS, covering games even before the NES. You get 3D excitebike for free for a limited time only now the update is available. You can get a free 3D pokedex, which will have 16 in the game when you start. You get others through spotpass, trading with others, augmented cards and so on. And these can be used alongside your camera and for photos.
The new system seems to be called the Wii U. The new controller is shown, it has a 6" touch screen in the middle of the controller, and has two analog sticks, d-pad, shoulder buttons and the regular A,B,X,Y. Games from the new system can be transfered to the Wii U controller. it can be used for drawing as well. Games like checkers and othello are on it too. It can interact with all of the Wii controls and from the look of it, the Wii as well. Video Calls can be done on it also, and it can interact with the internet and TVs.
As said above, it's completely backwards compatible with the Wii. The controller also has a gyroscope, touch screen, microphone and such. To cover this more again, Miyamoto appears again going into detail about how it will work. Developers can decide how they want the game to work with the console. Whether it works with gyro-sensor and the screen, or just for the big screen and such. There is endless ways to deal with it, which is what they where wanting, so that any developer can work on it.
Sakurai has decided to make a Super Smash Brothers for both the Wii U and the 3DS, and not only that, but it will also work together with the game, however it is not really covered on how this will work.
Developers like last year are now saying what they could do with the console. from THQ, EA, Ubisoft and so on. Darksiders 2, Tekken both are set for it on launch, Batman: Arkham City, Assassins Creed, Ghost Recon Online, EA sports, all of which are set for it. Now they go into trailers for the games, Dirt, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Metro: Last Light, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor Light where also ones shown for the console.
EAs lead director comes onto the stage for the first time ever with Nintendo. Think he just hinted at Battlefield 3 for the Wii U. Reggie comes on to conclude the conference saying how the DS, Wii, 3DS and now the Wii U all have come to change gaming.
So ends the show, with that bombshell.
