Dale North: 
Swords! Reg vs Cammie.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:51 Dale North
9:51
ChadConcelmo: 
FENCING ... on the beach?
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:51 ChadConcelmo
9:51
ChadConcelmo: 
Wait, no, SWORD STUFF!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:51 ChadConcelmo
9:51
ChadConcelmo: 
WOW! AWESOME!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:51 ChadConcelmo
9:52
ChadConcelmo: 
Real sword motion! SO COOL!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:52 ChadConcelmo
9:52
ChadConcelmo: 
Seriously, the sword tracking is really impressive.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:52 ChadConcelmo
9:52
ChadConcelmo: 
Now they are sowrd fighting. (Not the pornographic kind.)
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:52 ChadConcelmo
9:52
ChadConcelmo: 
REGINATOR WINS!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:52 ChadConcelmo
9:53
ChadConcelmo: 
This game actually looks like a lot of good fun.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:53 ChadConcelmo
9:53
Dale North: 
Yeah, it looks like it controls pretty well. They need to implement this into the Boxing game.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:53 Dale North
9:53
ChadConcelmo: 
I agree.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:53 ChadConcelmo
9:53
ChadConcelmo: 
CAMMINATOR! Ha ha ha.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:53 ChadConcelmo
9:53
Dale North: 
Caminator! Reggie coined it
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:53 Dale North
9:53
ChadConcelmo: 
Wii Sports Resort will offer many games.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:53 ChadConcelmo
9:54
ChadConcelmo: 
Wii MotionPlus is going to be the new standard. Developers are excited!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:54 ChadConcelmo
9:54
ChadConcelmo: 
Wii MotionPlus for next Spring.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:54 ChadConcelmo
9:55
ChadConcelmo: 
Daramtic smoke ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:55 ChadConcelmo
9:55
ChadConcelmo: 
One last announcement ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:55 ChadConcelmo
9:55
ChadConcelmo: 
Guess what? It's not Pikmin 3 ... :(
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:55 ChadConcelmo
9:55
ChadConcelmo: 
It's a ... drum playing game.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:55 ChadConcelmo
9:56
ChadConcelmo: 
Seriously. A drum playing game.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:56 ChadConcelmo
9:56
ChadConcelmo: 
It does look relly neat, though, but ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:56 ChadConcelmo
9:56
ChadConcelmo: 
I guess I was expecting something more exciting.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:56 ChadConcelmo
9:56
ChadConcelmo: 
A guy just played the drums!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:56 ChadConcelmo
9:56
ChadConcelmo: 
SHIGGY!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:56 ChadConcelmo
9:56
ChadConcelmo: 
HE IS PLAYING A VIRTUAL SAXAPHONE!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:56 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
Oh, cool, it's like a band game or something.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
Pretty cool, but it doesn't have Pikmin in it.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
The other guy is playing drums. There are playing together.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
How is this a game, though?
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
It's called Wii Music.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
Um ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:57
ChadConcelmo: 
Yay?
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:57 ChadConcelmo
9:58
ChadConcelmo: 
I think this is it.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:58 ChadConcelmo
9:58
ChadConcelmo: 
Regardless, I love Shigeru.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:58 ChadConcelmo
9:58
ChadConcelmo: 
He seriously is my hero. :)
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:58 ChadConcelmo
9:59
ChadConcelmo: 
Hold the WIimote like you are playing a real instrument.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 9:59 ChadConcelmo
10:00
ChadConcelmo: 
It detects the motion perfectly.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:00 ChadConcelmo
10:00
Dale North: 
You do not have to know music.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:00 Dale North
10:00
ChadConcelmo: 
Shigeru is playing the them from F-Zero with the virtual sax.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:00 ChadConcelmo
10:01
ChadConcelmo: 
50 INSTRUMENTS!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:01 ChadConcelmo
10:01
Dale North: 
50 different instruments are included.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:01 Dale North
10:01
ChadConcelmo: 
It's actually pretty awesome!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:01 ChadConcelmo
10:01
ChadConcelmo: 
The violin is neat. The Wiimote is the bow, the nunchuk is the violin.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:01 ChadConcelmo
10:01
ChadConcelmo: 
I don't know how this is a game, but it is still very impressive.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:01 ChadConcelmo
10:01
ChadConcelmo: 
GIANT DRUM!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:01 ChadConcelmo
10:02
Dale North: 
You are holding each of these virtual instruments much like you would the real thing. There's even a muted guitar articulation.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:02 Dale North
10:02
ChadConcelmo: 
What Dale said ... :)
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:02 ChadConcelmo
10:02
Dale North: 
Taiko. Oh my god, I want this.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:02 Dale North
10:02
ChadConcelmo: 
The drum set is the best part.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:02 ChadConcelmo
10:03
ChadConcelmo: 
You even get lessons on the instruments!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:03 ChadConcelmo
10:03
ChadConcelmo: 
That's pretty cool.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:03 ChadConcelmo
10:03
Dale North: 
Unlike many of the others, the drum simulation looks to be fairly accurate.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:03 Dale North
10:03
ChadConcelmo: 
Shiggy is amazing! Can I say that again?
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:03 ChadConcelmo
10:03
ChadConcelmo: 
I want to run up on stage right now.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:03 ChadConcelmo
10:03
ChadConcelmo: 
And hug him.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:03 ChadConcelmo
10:04
ChadConcelmo: 
I'm gonna' do it ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:04 ChadConcelmo
10:04
ChadConcelmo: 
brb
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:04 ChadConcelmo
10:04
ChadConcelmo: 
You can create music videos in Wii Music.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:04 ChadConcelmo
10:04
ChadConcelmo: 
They are about to play a song.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:04 ChadConcelmo
10:04
ChadConcelmo: 
Someone on drums; someone on a marimba.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:04 ChadConcelmo
10:05
ChadConcelmo: 
Percussion.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:05 ChadConcelmo
10:05
ChadConcelmo: 
Someone is actually on a cowbell!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:05 ChadConcelmo
10:05
ChadConcelmo: 
THEY ARE PLAYING THE MARIO THEME!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:05 ChadConcelmo
10:05
ChadConcelmo: 
I WANT TO PLAY THE MARIO THEME!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:05 ChadConcelmo
10:05
ChadConcelmo: 
The fact that there is even a cowbell in the game wins it points.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:05 ChadConcelmo
10:06
ChadConcelmo: 
Yay! *throwing panties*
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:06 ChadConcelmo
10:06
ChadConcelmo: 
Nick Chester just took off his top!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:06 ChadConcelmo
10:06
ChadConcelmo: 
*applause*
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:06 ChadConcelmo
10:06
ChadConcelmo: 
This is fun to watch!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:06 ChadConcelmo
10:07
ChadConcelmo: 
I am still on the fence about how much fun it would be to play, though?
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:07 ChadConcelmo
10:07
ChadConcelmo: 
At least my grandma likes to bowl or play tennis. She won't care about playing the cowbell.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:07 ChadConcelmo
10:08
ChadConcelmo: 
We'll see, though.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:08 ChadConcelmo
10:08
ChadConcelmo: 
Warpping up ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:08 ChadConcelmo
10:08
ChadConcelmo: 
Sad panda ... no big franchise announcements ...
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:08 ChadConcelmo
10:08
ChadConcelmo: 
I will shut up about Pikmin, but I am bummed. :(
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:08 ChadConcelmo
10:09
ChadConcelmo: 
Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Sports Resort look really good, but I wish there was just at least one more big game.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:09 ChadConcelmo
10:10
ChadConcelmo: 
Reggie and Cammie are saying goodbye.
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:10 ChadConcelmo
10:10
ChadConcelmo: 
The end!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:10 ChadConcelmo
10:10
ChadConcelmo: 
I hope you enjoyed the liveblog!
Tuesday July 15, 2008 10:10 ChadConcelmo

ChadConcelmo:
