I don't feel like derailing this thread any further so anywhos:

EA has some interesting original stuff, that isn't made by Will Wright, even for a person like me who doesn't particularily care for them.

ummm where have you heard that?

if i were a betting man, id bet in favor of it being ported just because it uses the same engine and assets....so its easy money on the 360 side as well

No, he's right.

At SE's press conference they confirmed that Versus XIII is still exclusive.

"Also, Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still in development as a PS3 exclusive."

EDIT: Of course, they said the same thing about FFXIII and look what happened with that... So who knows? Versus XIII could end up multi-platform too.

Yeah we will have to just wait and see.

btw i only changed username, not my gender. heh heh

Nintendo's Press Conference starts in about 5 minutes. I'm watching the live stream, will post updates here as they are announced.

- Shaun White Snowboarding announced. Uses Wii Fit Balance Board, exclusive to Wii, releases by years end.
- This lady doing the presentation reminds me Loraine from Mad TV. (UH HUHUHU)
- Iwata is up on stage bragging about Nintendo's success in shifting to casual games. (SURPRISE)
- Just said the teams that made Mario and Zelda are working on new games that they will bring to Wii.
- Animal Crossing Wii (Animal Crossing: City Folk) is being talked about. (No surprise here, we all expected that.) You can put your Mii in the character. New microphone option called Wii Speak, that lets anyone in the room talk with anyone else in the world. (HOORAY) Releases by the end of this year.
- Reggie is on stage talking about how they want to satisfy both the casual and hardcore. Presenting some pretty impressive sales figures.
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars announced. LIGHTSABER BATTLES. Holiday 2008.
- New Rayman: Raving Rabbids: TV Party. Uses balance board. Fall 2008.
- Call of Duty: World at War. Uses Wii Zapper. Has co-op.

- Pokemon Ranger: (Something, missed the subtitle) releases November 10th.

- Wii Sports Resort announced. Uses Wii MotionPlus. Comes bundled with MotionPlus and new Wii Jacket for Wii Remote. Frisbee Throw, Jet Skiing (WAVE RACE?!), SWORD FIGHTING, launches globally next Spring.
- Wow. Some retarded drumming game. Looks awful. Is this really their big announcement? Oh, apparently its a part of Wii Music. Shiggy is on stage holding a Wii Remote to his mouth to play the Saxophone. Be able to play over 50 different instruments just by moving your body. Records videos of your performance, one player can save play and record each part of a song to create their own music video. A bunch of people are up on stage playing a Mario song. They all look like carp idiots. Note recognition is pretty bad.

Well, that's it. Way to carp blow it Nintendo. Serious

Looks like I'll be selling my Wii after all.

final fantasy xiii is a traitor

In all honesty, that game was pretty much my only reason for buying a PS3. But then again, it's a solid system and a blu-ray player, so I'll end up getting one anyways.
