Nintendo has some E for All news and here is some of it: "Framingham, MA - March 29, 2007 - IDG World Expo today announced that Nintendo of America has signed on as an anchor exhibitor for IDG World Expo's newest event: Entertainment for All™ Expo (E for All™), scheduled for October 18-21, 2007, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Nintendo leads an A-list of game companies signing on for a show that is rapidly shaping up to be the premiere event in interactive entertainment. 
 
Entertainment for All Expo (E for All) is a new event created for people who are passionate about video games and everything related. The Expo was launched in response to strong demand within the consumer audience for an opportunity to see and try new products before they reach store shelves. Event organizers anticipate its mid-October dates will launch an early and successful holiday shopping season for the industry. 
 
"The E for All Expo supports Nintendo's mission to reach as many types of consumers as possible to expand the world of video games to new audiences," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Our Wii and Nintendo DS systems are all about gaming for the masses, and the E for All Expo will give consumers a chance to try out the hottest new Nintendo video games."

Since its launch in November 2006, the Wii system from Nintendo has become one of the most popular game systems. With an easy-to-use motion-sensitive controller, Wii draws new players into the world of video games in a very 'real' way. 
 
Wii systems are currently on NCL's newest ship - Norwegian Pearl - and all NCL America ships. Wii will be rolled out on the rest of the NCL fleet by next month. The systems are equipped with Wii Sports™, offering five distinct sports experiences: tennis, golf, baseball, boxing and bowling. Other games available on the ships include Wii Play™, WarioWare™: Smooth Moves and Excite Truck™. 
 
"With its active, engaging and inviting game experiences appealing to every age from kids to parents to grandparents, the Wii from Nintendo is a natural fit for Freestyle Cruising," said Colin Veitch, NCL's president and CEO. "With the addition of Wii to our on-board activities, we can now offer bowling, boxing, golf, tennis and baseball across the entire fleet. Cheering, yelling and high-fives will be highly encouraged." I have some Screenshots of Wii Sports on Board and here they are:

Ltd. today made a historical announcement that two of the biggest icons in the entertainment industry, Mario™ and Sonic™, are joining forces to star in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Developed for the Wii™ video game system and the Nintendo DS™ system, this momentous agreement marks the first time these two renowned stars have appeared together in a game. 
 
Published by SEGA across Europe and North America, and published by Nintendo in the Japanese market, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will be available for Holiday 2007 and is licensed through a worldwide partnership with International Sports Multimedia (ISM), the exclusive interactive entertainment software licensee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). 
 
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, players will compete in events that take place in environments based on the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Using a supporting cast of characters from the amazing worlds of both Mario and Sonic, gamers will be able to compete as or against a range of lovable personalities including Mario, Sonic, Luigi™, Knuckles™, Yoshi®, Tails™ and more. Innovative usage of the Wii and DS control systems to maneuver a favorite character will allow players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m track, engage in exhilarating rallies in table tennis and churn water in a swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought after gold medal."

You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
IGN has some Microsoft news Nintendo related and here is some of it: "Oh, sweet mud-slinging, how we love you. It would be impossible to count how many times company reps poked fun at GameCube, just as it would be a difficult undertaking to calculate how many times former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi spoke ill of his hardware competitors. Nowadays, though, publishers rarely speak badly of Nintendo or Wii as both are overwhelming success stories." You can read the rest of this from IGN above.

VC News:Wiikly Update 
Nintendo has updated the Virtual Console news and here it is: "Today Nintendo adds a classic Super NES® game to the popular Wii™ video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The game goes live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new game is: 
 
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire™ (Super NES, 1-8 players, 800 Wii Points): Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV is a tactical simulation game in which the player takes the role of a ruler seeking to unite China in the era of the three kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu. The role of the ruler is to command a range of officers with differing characteristics - some cunning strategists, others brave warriors - and strengthen the military might of his or her kingdom. Foreign policy, involving forming alliances with certain kingdoms and hatching plans to weaken others, will play a major role in this process. Once players have developed a powerful enough military, it will be time to expand their borders through military conquest. Ultimate victory will only be achieved once all 43 cities in China lie within a player's control." Well this is the only game so those of you wanting Adventure of link will have to wait yet again. 
kotaku has some OOT2D news but it is not good news and any way here is some of it: "Richard (aka Dampe) creator of the long awaited fan-made 2D Ocarina of Time, died Friday in tragic car accident. Tales of the game had been floating around the internet for a long time and many people were looking forward to trying out his handywork. His goal was to create a faithful recreation of Ocarina of Time in an olde school 2D Zelda style. An official website and forums were posted so that Dampe and his fans could discuss the details ongoing project." I did not know him nor care for the game much because i thought it went against Nintendo's rules for their Zelda Characters Items and Scenery from the 3D one on the N64/GCN.I still feel sad for his friends and family tho.

Minnesota Daily has some Wii news and here is some of it: "Nintendo is bringing back those crazy games, ones that are chock-full of innovation and fun without the need to increase character cup sizes or guns to shoot with. As a jaded girl gamer sick of hackneyed ploys to entice the male gamer, I am totally enthralled by Nintendo's approach to include women and non-gamers. I see this when I am making Miis (3D avatars whose appearance you can manipulate) and notice how many feminine hairstyles there are. The feminine hairstyles actually outnumber the masculine ones, which really goes to show how much Nintendo is thinking of nontraditional gamers." You can read the rest of this from Minnesota Daily above. 
Go Nintendo has some Wii News and here is some of it: "…Miller feels strongly that Nintendo’s Wii controller is doing much to bringing more physical interactivity into the realm of video games.

Go Nintendo has some old Super Mario Galaxy news and to most who have seen and heard this before like me ignore it.Go Nintendo also reminded most of you it has 2 players.But for those who have missed it then here is some of it: "The ultimate Nintendo hero is taking the ultimate step out into space. Join Mario as he ushers in a new era of video games, defying gravity across all the planets in the galaxy. When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy. Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore the many planets. For Mario to succeed, gamers will press buttons, swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and even use the Wii Remote to point at and drag things on-screen." You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
IGN has another N-Query up at last on there site and it talks about Mario Galaxy,Zelda Voice Acting, and for you Wrestling fans WWE for the Wii.You can check out what was said by clicking the link above. 
IGN has some Midway news and here is some of it: "While it was well-received by the press when released in 2004, Psi-Ops was quickly forgotten by gamers (it currently has a Game Popularity Metric of 0.0 on GameStats). But there is one person who hasn't forgotten about this game based on psychic abilities: William L. Crawford III, a screenwriter who has filed a lawsuit against Midway claiming the publisher stole his concept from a script he wrote back in 1998." You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
IGN has some Nintendo news and here is some of it: "When we first saw Victorious Boxers in action during one of Nintendo's trailers during the Tokyo Game Show last year, we instantly wanted it. The Victorius Boxers series, predominantly a Japanese franchise, has seen a handful of releases worldwide (including the United States and Europe), so while we weren't expecting to see it reach our shores, we remained cautiously optimistic as we witnessed anime brawlers beating the ever-loving hell out of each other." You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
IGN has some Capcom news and here is some of it: "Capcom has an all new adventure title in the works for Wii, the latest Famitsu reports. Tentatively titled Treasure Island Z (Takarajima Z in Japanese), the game gives players control of a cute little pirate named Zack, who's out to solve puzzles and discover the legendary treasure that was hidden away on Treasure Island by the great pirate Barbaros." You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
IGN has some Koei news and here is some of it: "Koei met with members of the Japanese press in Tokyo today to unveil a new, original RPG for the Wii. Titled Opoona, this game is being developed by Japanese development house Arte Piazza (previous work on Dragon Quest VII and the PS2 remake of Dragon Quest V) for Japanese release this summer."

GDC Speeches:<a href="http://gonintendo.com/?p=14353">Takeshi Shimada Speaks about Rethinking the Development Timeline</a> 
Go Nintendo has Takeshi Shimada's Keynote and here is some of it: "Igarashi still makes 2d games because he loves the style of 2d, and there are a lot of benefits when it comes to 2d for Castlevania. 2d and 3d offer very different gameplay experiences. There are 4 types of gameplay in Igarashi’s mind…timing, distance, positioning, and Direction. All these are very important to Igarashi when he produces games. The problem Igarashi sees when producing 3d games is with taking a 3d space and projecting it onto a 2d monitor. The size ratio of characters and settings are scaled in real life terms in 3d, but when it comes to seeing this on a 2d screen, things change. Judging distance between items and enemies in 3d is also much different in 3d. 2d clearly shows your relation to the enemy or setting because there is only one view. This allows for instant action in 2d games. 2d allows for full use of Igarashi’s 4 key points." You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Go Nintendo has more on the Chris Hecker Wii Statement and here is some of it: "I don’t know who has read the internet, yesterday. In a [unintelligible] panel I said a bunch of things. I was trying to be thought provoking and entertaining and fun and a lot of the stuff went too far over the top—on the entertaining and fun side, so that it was no longer thought provoking, just inflammatory. And in the process I hurt a bunch of people I care about. And so, I want to apologize now." You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above.

Youtube has a Phantom Hourglass Video and you can see the video above. 
Go Nintendo has Aonuma's Reflections of Zelda Speech and here is some of it: "Mr. Aonuma is talking about Wind Waker. Unfortunately the game did not sell very well in Japan, but sold very well in the US. Aonuma was convinced that it did not sell well due to the graphical style. There was a mix of seasoned gamers getting board, and new gamers being too intimidated to play. Twilight Princess was originally titled Wind Waker 2, which later moved away as the game went futher into development. 
 
Aonuma is moving into the connectivity aspect of the Zelda series. He is discussing the Four Sword Adventures for the Cube. Mr. Miyamoto felt this title was important because it would use connectivity as the main aspect of gameplay…and therefore Aonuma went ahead with it. That title did not sell too well either, which is closely related to all the hardware needed to play. Another reason was how difficult it was to pull gamers in due to the nature of the title. It was hard to show off just how to play the game, what you needed and what needed to be done in a simple commercial. 
 
Moving back to Wind Waker, while the game did sell over a million units, the title trickled off in sales quickly after passing that mark. The reason Twilight Princess went with a more realistic style was because Aonuma wanted to give the North American market what they wanted. The North American market is much stronger (when talking Zelda) than the Japanese market, so the move was made. The gameplay was to be more realistic as well, when compared to Wind Waker." You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
I have added a Super Mario Galaxy Video to this Server.So if you want to see it go to the Super Mario Galaxy Video section to see it. 
Video Game Developers Honor Nintendo with Awards A jury of Nintendo’s industry peers has honored the video game company with Game Developers Choice Awards for innovation and game design for Wii Sports™, which comes packed with Nintendo’s hot-selling new Wii™ home system. Nintendo also won an award for writing for The Legend of Zelda®: Twilight Princess. The awards were presented the evening of March 7 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. They represent the peak of video game excellence, as voted on by game developers from around the world. The Game Developers Choice Awards Advisory Board also honored legendary Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto with a Lifetime Achievement Award. “Wii Sports continues to resonate not only with consumers but also with the creative soul of the industry: the game developers themselves,” says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Wii is designed to allow creativity to triumph over technical and financial barriers, and Wii Sports is a perfect example of how a great idea can succeed on its own.” Wii Sports and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess were nominated for five awards in four categories.

I will have Shigeru Miyamoto's Keynote Speech shortly after it happenes as said with this: "Materials will be available Thursday, March 8th, shortly after Mr. Miyamoto's Keynote Speech." So be ready for all of it from Nintendo's Press Room tomorrow. 
Mr. Kondo is speaking about rhythm, balance, and interactivity in video game music. He is starting with rhythms that are easily recognizable. It is important to work with these rhythms and time them with the gameplay as well. 
 
Clips of Super Mario Bros. are being shown to futher main points of game music. Mario’s running and jumping were taken into consideration when creating the main tune. It is important for the music to reflect the unique ideas of the game. Gameplay progression and music progression go hand in hand. Once main details of a game are recognized, music can begin to be created. It is extremely important to create a rhythm that doesn’t get tiresome."

IGN has some Nintendo news and here is some of it: "During a session at GDC this morning titled 'Burning Mad - Game Publishers Rant,' time was taken about half way through to allow developers a chance to spew their own rants.

Rethinking the Development Timeline 
Speaker: Takeshi Shimada (Nintendo Co., Ltd.)

Location (room): Room 135, North Hall 
Track: Production 
Format: 60-minute Lecture 
Experience Level: All 
 
Session Description 
In today's day and age, when development budgets are skyrocketing and technology is advancing quickly, what can developers do to ensure their unique game ideas make it to market? Takeshi Shimada has been creating development tool libraries for Nintendo's game creators for nearly 15 years. Most recently, he was involved in the critical and commercial success, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. In this session, He walks through how the advance preparation of good development libraries streamline the creative process for game development teams. This approach allowed Nintendo to develop a game in 3 months, with a development team of fewer than 10 members, that has gone on to sell more than 5 million copies worldwide. Shimada provides insights and practical information that any developer can use.

On Thursday, there will be simultaneous sessions focused on the topics of "AI in RTS, RPG, and other games" (moderated by Steve) and "AI in First Person, Casual, and Sports games" (moderated by Neil). Each of these focuses on computer game AI issues that are specific to those genres. 
 
On Friday, there will be the "AI for Beginners - Interactive Panel Discussion." This is where producers, artists, beginning programmers and all others who are new to AI ask questions and obtain answers and engage in discussion of AI related topics at their level. This discussion encompasses any topic of computer game AI and is intended to provide information to those people who are unfamiliar with AI. 
 
Idea Takeaway 
With specific sessions for the experienced and beginners, the AI roundtables offer a chance to talk about AI and to ask questions about AI. 
 
Intended Audience

Painting an Interactive Musical Landscape 
Speaker: Koji Kondo (Manager of Sound Group, Nintendo Co., Ltd.) 
Date/Time: Wednesday (March 7, 2007) 4:00pm — 5:00pm 
Location (room): Room 135, North Hall 
Track: Audio 
Format: 60-minute Lecture 
Experience Level: All 
 
Session Description 
If Shigeru Miyamoto is the Steven Spielberg of videogames, Koji Kondo is the John Williams. As one of the industry's most highly regarded composers, Kondo has composed timeless pieces that help bring Nintendo's stories to life through music. Starting with Super Mario Bros. in 1985 to the recently released The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Kondo has continuously redefined the definition of a game soundtrack. 
 
During this in-depth session, Kondo illustrates how his method of composing interactive music is unique by dissecting various examples of sounds and music from the Super Mario and Legend of Zelda series. Although the art and science of videogame music has changed dramatically during the last 20 years, his work has remained consistent and allows Nintendo's musical soundtracks to soar. Learn what inspires Kondo to create musical masterpieces as epic as the tales they accompany. 
Eiji Aonuma will be speaking at GDC on the day shown below:
