Ahhh E3 the glorious time where gamers are ecstatic about everything in the gaming world. Its also time for the big three (Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony) to display there best and biggest marvels. Now we all know this year Nintendo didnt have the best show but for us Nintendo fans...we really dont care. We saw great things and i will recap it with my own Commentary.
First of all in my opinion, Cammy was way too annoying. Fake smiles, life storys, BOOORING. I like to see games that use the Balance Board however and the snowboarding game title doesnt look half bad. They then moved to Iwata talking about the forecast of Nintendo with "bathroom scales"? Oh well translation is a b*tch. Then we moved to Animal Crossing: City Folk. Im not an Animal Crossing fan so i dont have much to say about it. i'm pretty excited about Wii Speak. Unfortunately its not a headset but maybe it may be better its not? Only Time can tell. Finally Reggie. Ahh Reggie. More DS talk. Its nice to see that Nintendo actually wants to keep handheld gaming alive however. Three games eh? well lets see how they fare:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: looks pretty good, will probably appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers alike
Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party: childish? of course but looks pretty good. And again another game that uses the balance board. I like where this is going.
Call Of Duty: World At War: im quite impressed, very aesthetically good, plus uses Wii Zapper! sweet! mine has been collecting dust for some time. And i also like the Co-Op mode. No online play though???
Overall, i was dissapointed. Not because of the games but because of the fact, we pretty much knew about these. We wanted a Mario or Zelda or Donkey Kong surprise!
Back to Cammy :[ More DS talk and a new Guitar Hero for for DS? Hmm Interesting. Spore CReatures looks nice, innovative. New Pokemon. i wonder if it will be anything like the past hundreds of games. and.... Grand Theft Auto for DS, wait, WHAT? We really didnt get any info so we'll have to watch that. She also mentions everyday uses for the DS, is the DS gonna be a PDA soon? These DS titles seem to appeal to the "new" audience they touched on earlier. Now....WiiMotionPlus the new peripheral which will give 1:1 response time. I see vast potential for this. Its packaged Extended jacket and Wii Sports Resort. Some games actually looked good (Wavebird race anyone?) and hah, Regginator? I like it. Wii Music. Cheap replacement to GH and Rockband? Idk about you put it looks pretty nice as a game to just mess around with for fun. And the drumset looks nice as you get to just free jam. I like. Next is....nothing? No new BAM game announcement? Oh well, While this years Nintendo E3 wasnt the best, It certainly was innovative. Hopefully we get a nice hardcore title in the works soon. As for now enjoy the rest of E3!
