GDC 07: New Super Paper Mario Videos

As part of us, reorganizing our posts, we are replacing the existing GDC videos with Flash 7 version of the (via YouTube). All videos from GDC will also be added to the podcast feed.

As far as Super Paper Mario goes, not only are we just replacing the two videos that were up with flash ones, but also adding 3 more, making a total of five! These videos will be available this weekend (I'll edit this post) right here and on the podcast feed.

Update:All 5 videos are now on the podcast feed. The Flash versions are coming soon!

GDC 2007 Post Re-Organization

Hey guys, we're are soon going to be re-organizing all of the posts on this page. The reason being is, we were testing different formats of videos on this page and were testing to how well each format would work. Well, now that GDC has ended I am going to be changing all of the GDC videos to Flash (YouTube) format. And all of the videos from GDC seen here that were not on the podcast feed will be added to the podcast feed. However, the keynotes conferences will not be changed to Flash form, as it is in compatible with YouTube. This post will be deleted once the re-organization concludes.

GDC 07: Nintendo Keynote Speech Video

Well, this year's Game Developers Conference is now officially over. So, for our last post of this year's Game Developers Conference (well there may be one or two more later), here's the video of Shigeru Miyamoto's Keynote Speech at GDC 2007. And let me tell you right now, this video was insanely hard to get my hands on, and between security loads conversions and merges, that's why it took so long to get up. So, here is one of the only places you can see it. It's also availible up on the podcast feed, so that you can download the video, and watch it on your iPod or MP4 device . Remember, next year's conference will be starting on February 18, 2008 for five days, as always. But don't fret we'll still have loads of gaming coverage as news breaks. Just because GDC is over, doesn't mean we'll stop keeping you informed. And of course, there's loads of gaming events to look foward to in the rest of 2007. So, keep it parked right here with GamersCast, for the latest, up-to-date video game news. And without further adue, here is Nintendo's GDC 2007 Keynote Speech, given by Shigeru Miyamoto (.MP4 format only):

GDC 07: No More Heroes Trailer

The next game in the Elder Scrolls series is coming for the PC! Here's the trailer:

GDC 07: PSP 2 is cancelled

Today at GDC Sony has changed their mind about making a PSP 2, as they said there is currently no need to do so. But they also said that some new functionality will be added to the PSP later on this year.

GDC 07: Big Brain Academy Wii Video

Nintendo has made a sequal for their popular DS Brain Game, Big Brain Academy. Here's the trailer:

GDC 07: Phantom Hourglass Trailer

GDC 07: Sony Keynote Speech Video

Here's the video for Sony's Keynote speech at GDC, this video is also on the podcast feed for download, but unfortunetely, it will only be availible in .MP4 format:

GDC 07: Super Mario Galaxy Trailer

One of the most anticipated Mario titles of all-time is coming this year. It WAS Super Mario 128, and now it IS Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii. And the video is availible here (in Flash 7 format) and on the podcast feed. Here is the GDC 2007 trailer:

GDC 07: Forza Motorsport 2 Trailer

GDC 07: Mario Strikers Charged Video

New video from Mario Strikers Charged has finally surfaced. I'm not all too excited about this release just because of the other enormous titles that are coming out, but I thought I might as well post it for those who are looking foward to it:

GDC 07: Next new Wii Channel (kinda) Revealed!

At his keynote today, Shigueru Miyamoto said he was working on a new wii channel. On this channel users would be able to compare and have popularity contests with your miis and other miis all over the world. No other details aside from this were revealed, but my guess is that the channel will more than likely launch in April. And we still are working on getting the keynote video up, as quickly as possible.

GDC 07: Nintendo's Keynote

Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo gave the keynote at this year's Game Developer Conference, after just winning the lifetime achivement award yesterday. We'll have the video for you here and on the the podcast feed, very soon...

GDC 07: New Super Paper Mario

Wow! The new video footage from Super Paper Mario looks a lot better than I ever would have expected from this game! Check it out:

GDC 07: Mind Controlled Video Games

Hmmm.... I could've sworn some Sci-Fi movie called this somewhere around at least 2015, but I'm cool with it. Ed Fries of Emotiv Systems has revealed his mind-controlled video game helmet! This helmet reads your mind, so you can think things like "jump, push, pull, or run" to control your characters in video games. It is called the "Project Epoc" helmet. Somehow they announced a 2008 release. I smell controversy!

I dunno, but this guy sounds like anti-Nintendo to me. They're both trying to get people into their video games more. One by moving more, and another by not moving at all!
