ON TODAY'S AGENDA

We have a ton of E3 stuff that's just been unveiled last week, and I'm in the mood to chat about it, even though no one reads these things. I just gotta get the gaming news off my flat, bony, white chest, cuz I have no friends to talk about this with...you'll never leave me will you mr. blogtextbox?

So first up is Nintendo's press conference, which was only semi awful this year.

The most important announcement was obviously the Vitality Sensor. The fact of the matter is that this piece of hardware is going to be ground breaking as far as Wii games go. Imagine: a game finally comes out for the Wii that makes you feel like you're actually having an adrenaline rush, but you know it can't be true b/c you're playing the Wii, so how do you check to see if the game is actually exciting you? BOOM, vitality sensor. 3-2-1...yes I am indeed excited abou this game, as is evident by my rapid heartrate.

But really, what was awesome? For me personally, the Golden Sun DS announcement was jaw dropping and unbelievably awesome. Golden Sun and GS: the Lost Age are two of my fave games of all time, and I can't wait to see what's next, even thought Camelot's not developing and the graphics have succumb to the DS' crappy polygonal standards.

Then on the Mario front was Super Mario Galaxy 2 (notice that U R MR GAY is still prominent) and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Both look like a ton of fun for the hardcore crowd and casual gamers, respectively. I loved NSMB for DS and this looks like a ton of fun too, plus there's fun spinny waggle action, so who wouldn't love that?

There was also the Wii Motion Plus, but after seeing Sony and Microsoft's motion controll projects, I literally couldn't be any less excited about the new addition to my Wiimote. Nintendo is about to get embarrasingly behind in technology, and it won't be acceptabe by and gamers standards. BTW I'm a Nintendo fanboy and even I think this.

Also there was a showing of the new Metroid game titled Metroid: Other M which is being developed by Team Ninja surprisingly. TN is of course known for the incredibly difficult Ninja Gaiden series, and it shows in the footage of Samus, with her leaping around and pwning mob face. In this adventure Samus looks FARRRR less static; with much more leaping and ninja like action, which is a breath of air I think all the Nintendo IP's deserve. It never dawned on me to think what another developer could do for a Nintendo franchise, but so far the outcome looks amazing.

So ya, overall it was much more successful than last year, but they really need to up the excitement level and hire new speakers that are funny and cool (like meeeeeee) to deliver this news. I fell asleep twice watching and I drink Mt. Dew CONSTANTLY.

Oh and Wii Resort crap, but it's no Secret that literally NOBODY who knows what E3 is and watched the conference cares about Resort at all. Nobody. Like Roxas nobody.
