so it's animal crossing ds... on the wii? 

all I need now is prince of persia

that e3 trailer has me sold....

No. They added a whole bunch of new stuff, such as the addition of a city which you can visit.

No fuckin Kid Icarus, now I'm pissed. Is it really that hard, I mean, to make actual games? I don't care about Wii Fit, Wii Motion Plus, Wii Zapper, Wii Sensor Wheel, wii-ballicker, wii-you name it, all I want is some games! Wtf! ​

I used to blame Nintendo on this but now everyone is jumping on the software bandwagon and it's getting ridiculous.  Nintendo has adopted this whole attitude of games for people who aren't gamers and the actual gamers are getting left in the dust.  I certainly don't care about Wii music, wii fit, wii word processor, wii opera, wii page layout, wii-whatever.  I have a laptop for a reason and consoles for a reason.  Surfing the net and playing games online is great but when a console becomes a computer something is wrong in the world of vidyas!

I don't understand how you can hook up an actual drum set to play in Guitar Hero. The hi-hat and kick and stuff? This is highly erroneous.

It's good for the industry though. Not stuff like wii word processor or shit, but casual games like these being on a cheap console. Those casual gamers are potential hardcore gamers, after all.

What?

[8:17] Onto the stage bounds Neversoft's Brian Bright, who says Guitar Hero: World Tour will have 85 original recordings on the disc.

[8:19] He reminds the crowd the new Metallica album will be available on day one of its release for download for the PS3, 360, AND Wii?

[8:20] Bright is now showing off the World Tour guitar and its freeplay bar, which will allow players to play slap-bass and a variety of other styles.

[8:22] Out comes the drum kit, which will will allow for left- and right-handed play. The drums have a thick layer of silicon to keep them quiet, and are velocity-sensitive for certain aspects of the game.

[8:24] He points out several ports on the back of the drum kit, one which will allow players to hook it up to a real set of drums or a drum machine and use them to play the game "right out of the box, no homebrew, no nothing." Obviously, the instruments will need some sort of electronic output.

[UPDATE] Activision has since confirmed to MTV that the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero World Tour will work with Rock Band instruments.

We like the drums, the drums that go boom.

[8:25] Out comes ex-Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker to try out the drums, which he apparently helped test out during development.

[8:27] Barker says he likes the Studio mode, since it allows people on other sides of the country to record different instruments and combine them without ever being in the same room.

Travis Barker talks up Guitar Hero.

[8:31] Brian Bright is now showing off the recording studio, which will not only let you pick notes, but also add various moves such as hammer-ons and pull-offs.

[8:32] Players will also be able to pick what type of guitar sound (metal, indie, and so on) and drum sound (authentic, electronic, and so on) they want to include. Bright, a 20-year-DJ, uses the drum section to create a track that sounds like Herbie Hancock's "Rockit."

[8:34] "You can create stuff from Acid House to analog bass--anything you want, really," says Bright. He starts getting very technical about the level of complexity in the game, and uses the guitar to play the most stripped-down techno track this side of Kraftwerk.

[8:36] Now he's using "GH Mix," which he describes as being much like the professional audio software ProTools. Players can loop sections and use the mixer to create everything from hip-hop to country. There's even an in-game graphics program that will let players create up to 40-layer graphics for album covers and band logos. The "GH Tunes" service will let players exchange songs and track their popularity. "It's like YouTube meets Billboard," says Bright.

[8:38] Last but not least, it's the Rock Star Creator, the detailed character creation tool that lets players customize clothes, hair, faces, age, and even body type. Expect a wave of Iggy Pop doppelgangers within hours of World Tour's release.

no really what are you even talking about
