I only have two words to describe Nintendo’s E3 Presser.

….holy shit.

Here’s all that they had to show for us today:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011)
  • Mario Sports Mix (2011)
  • WiiParty
  • Just Dance 2
  • Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (Q4 2010)
  • Goldeneye 007 (Q4 2010)
  • Epic Mickey
  • A Kirby game that I can’t remember the name of
  • Donkey Kong Country Returns (This game probably got the biggest applause out of every game there)
  • Dragon Quest IX (July 2010)
  • Metroid: Other M (August 31st, 2010)
  • Nintendo 3DS Reveal
  • Kid Icarus Uprising

As far as the 3DS is concerned, Nintendo announced a possible lineup of games including DJ Hero 3D, a Kingdom Hearts game, and even the possibility of a Metal Gear Solid game.

If you weren’t saying “Holy shit” when you started reading this, you are now.

UPDATE: Destructoid has posted a list of games/fanchises that are supposedly being developed for the 3DS here.

E3 2009: Nintendo Press Conference – HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY CRAP

Jun 2nd

Posted by Moofey in e3

It was a short conference, but Nintendo definitely learned from its lesson after last year’s weak showing. This year, they pulled out all the stops and announced something for just about everyone this year, and it’ll have hardcore gamers dusting off their Wiis in anticipation.

Nintendo’s press conference was pretty much rattling off game after game after game, a lot of which the core gamer will enjoy.  There’s a full list of what they announced after the jump, but be warned, it’s LONG.

E3 2009: Microsoft Press Conference – F*ck my ISP

Jun 1st

As if it isn’t enough already that I’m going to have no internet on Wednesday, my ISP decides to go all boner and takes me offline to continue their migration to new systems this morning.  It seems like they want to keep me as far away from this year’s E3 as possible.

Assuming that they were being complete boneheads though and thinking that I was offline for the next 3 or so days, I never thought about checking back, because if I did I wouldn’t have missed Microsoft’s press conference.  I’ll probably watch the archive of it later tonight, but I swear, THIS BETTER NOT HAPPEN WITH NINTENDO’S CONFERENCE TOMORROW.

Judging from Gamespot’s E3 site and what our friends over at GamingUnion have posted up from Los Angeles so far, here’s what I seem to have missed from my ISP’s misadventures this morning:

  • Kojima’s eternal teaser finally ends: Metal Gear Solid Rising announced for the 360
  • Halo Reach announced. You really didn’t think they’d let the series drop after 3 did you?
  • Left 4 Dead 2 coming on November 17th for the 360 and PC
  • Final Fantasy XIII slated for spring 2010
  • Forza Motorsport 3 coming in October
  • Rock Band: Beatles
  • Alan Wake
  • Tony Hawk Ride
  • Supposedly a montion-sensing camera accessory was also announced.

Looks like Microsoft had a pretty solid showing. Too bad my ISP’s a bitch.  Nintendo and Sony step up to the plate tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll be online to see it.

E3 Is Upon Us!

May 29th

Posted by Moofey in Games

It’s that time of year again. Starting Monday morning and continuing until Thursday night, the biggest and longest running gaming convention gets underway at the LA Convention Centre.  E3 is here!

Since I’m just an indie, upstart blog, I couldn’t even hope to get into E3 if I tried. However, our friends at Gaming Union are preparing to head down to SoCal as I type this and will be covering the event from top to bottom.  As well, you can find live feeds of the big 3 conferences on Gametrailers and probably Gamespot as well.  I will also be summarizing the day’s big stories here, as well as giving in my thought on the big 3 conferences depending on whether or not I get around to getting to all three. (My eyes will obviously be on Nintendo and if they can redeem themselves from last year’s poor showing.)

However I will be missing a good chock of the event, as my DSL line will be offline for at least all of Wednesday to allow the installation of IPTV in the house. This wasn’t my decision, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time as far as gaming news is concerned, so my summary for Wednesday (and maybe Tuesday) will likely have to wait until Thursday morning at the earliest.  (Either that, or hopefully there’s a neighbor who wants to be “generous” with their WiFi that day.)
