Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

One of your big announcements was the Wii Speak microphone for Animal Crossing: City Folk. Will that be packed in with the game?

>It will be sold separately for $29.99. The reason being is that Animal Crossing can be a wonderful experience just playing and enjoying the customization and calendar features, so community is a huge enhancement, but it's not a necessity for playing the game. But for people that like to play with friends, the Wii Speak enables a room of people in one place to play with a room of people in another place. We think it's a really exciting piece of innovation.


Oh and apparently Nintendo invented microphones. >_>

Yep, Nintendo's pretty much causing their own demise.

Oh, and did you know? Softcore is the new Hardcore, and Nintendo's always been a casual company, so they should stay that way. [/sarcasm]

If I'm being honest, I'm glad they let you play without it. The sort of people I play Wild World with swear and such, and I don't want to really have to listen to it, I already have to read it. Plus, it kinda ruins the magic of AC.

What I don't like is that the company thinks that everything they make is innovative, which is not.

Nintendo is beginning to fail. It's a sad fact.

Because of E3? Or because they are, as of now, gearing towards casual gamers?

Pathetic guys,

Yeah, I would LOVE some hardcore games to be churned out of Nintendo, as anyone would. But truly, why be so angry? I mean, with casual gaming, there's a whole new section of gamers they can sell to. That's not selling out, that's good business. But that's not the point. Ever since they grew up from the tiny little card company to the Gods of Gaming, Nintendo has supplied games for Gamers. Lots of the games weren't for major audiences, but the ones that really liked video games. No that Nintendo is marketing to another group, we're gonna whine? What's worse us, we all know that this isn't permanent. First of all, it'd be dumb for Big N to ONLY cater to the softcore gamers. Second, they're GOING to release more Zelda, Mario, etc. And I seriously doubt they're gonna let their flagship games be wimpied down. well, I'll admit they aren't as good as they could be NOW, but...

Anyway, stop whining, stop saying Nintendo is going down hill.

And yes, I agree. Not everything is innovative.

True. It justs irks me to see games like "WiiSkii" and to know that WiiFit is being hailed as the current big thing. >__>

Yeah, everything's been done before. And if it hasn't yet it will be soon.

Needed to get that piece of sarcasm off my chest. I've been getting all sorts of crap from these kinds of topics and I needed to post that. Sorry for the offtopicness. Go on.

Maybe Bane and I can be close friends after all. XP

(Sorry, just a little joke playing on this one time when Bane joked we couldn't possibly be friends if I don't have any interest in getting laid or doing RPs. :P)

Wheey! I've became a human being!! I am very handsam!

WiiMusic was the most disappointing "big announcement," IMO. The only thing I really liked about the conference was all the ways Reggie got to brag about how Nintendo is pwning Sony and Microsoft.

The mic was the MAIN reason why I wasn't gonna get AC, because usually having the mic COME with the game means that you MUST use it one way or another, but since it's optional, I don't have to worry about the freaking thing now lol
