Katsuya Eguchi, Wii U software producer, the guy behind titles such as Wii Sports, Resort, and Animal Crossing, jumps on stage to talk about NintendoLand. There are 12 attractions. 5 of which are at E3 and playable. They are Nintendo themed with attractions based on games like Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing. Miiverse will be integrated. Details at the developer round table.
- 12:02 Luigi's Mansion attraction will have "Asymmetrical Gameplay". Seems like Pac-Man Vs. The Ghostbusters have to work together to capture the ghost. If all the humans are downed, the ghost wins. You have to shine your light to revive a team mate. Batteries drains when you use your flashlight. Ghost can camp downed players for others who try to save him. Teamwork is essential to winning.
- 12:07 Each attraction has their own logo and they're all Nintendo related! Makes me feel all giddy.
- 12:10 "Together. Better." Their Wii U slogan.
- 12:11 Show ends with some fireworks going off in Nintendo Land.
After conference pre-recorded presentation from Iwata after the jump.
- 12:12 BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. Iwata's talking. Wants to go in depth with the games for all the folks at home not able to play stuff.
- 12:13 IS THIS PILOT WINGS? You can use the GamePad for a Panoramic view. They have a whole family going apeshit about it.
- 12:16 They're now showing off more of Nintendo Land. First up is the Animal Crossing attraction, Sweet Day, where the player with the GamePad chases the others. Animals have to 50 collect candies. Dropping candies make the animals run faster. Some trees require multiple animals to stand on a switch for it to drop a bunch of candy. Next up, Donkey Kong's Crash Course, the DK themed attraction. It's a maze type game controlled by the gyro sensor. Some switches are activated by joysticks.
- 12:21 Why is Iwata staring at bananas... ? He's reviewing the games and analyzing the asymmetrical gameplay.
- 12:23 Now for Wii Fit U. I wonder how much they paid this same white family consisting of various age groups to play their games.
- 12:26 "Here we go, Grandma." This is intersting. She's playing a game where you balance food on the gamepad like a tray as a waiter/waitress. You walk in place on the Balance Board.
- 12:27 "She hasn't even delivered a cake yet."
- 12:29 Oh hey a pedometer.
