It's E3 again, day 2

All right, it's on.  This'll have to be pretty stream-of-conscious because I do have that test to take soon afterwards.  Will try to sort things out more at a later time.


Mario Galaxy!  The rumors were right!

Metroid Prime 3 looks pretty much like how it always did =D  Although shinier.  That's fine, MP doesn't really have much else to improve upon graphically.

Haha, I love how they have those Chinese-looking girls playing ping pong because only Chinese people play ping pong right =D (not exaggeration)

Oh damn, but that is a NICE trailer display for Red Steel.  Excellent atmosphere.

Dragonball Z and One Piece = not at all interested, but really awesomely done manga/anime style!

Day of Crisis = even prettier!  I wonder what the gameplay's about?  ...Disaster survival?  Uhh, I'm getting the feeling those shiny disaster scenes are cutscenes...

Holy crap Fire Emblem looks PURTY!  And... and "dark"? ...also cutscenes of course. ;P

Tony Hawk looks much better than the screenshots they released. =P

AND HERE IS WHERE MY STREAM DIES OUT FOR 30 SECONDS >:O

Forget Zelda launching for the Wii, I want it for the Gamecube! >:O >:O >:O  ...Both version's not launching until the Wii??  DAMMIT NINTENDO WHY MUST YOU EAT MY MONEYS SO

Ooo but it's soooooo preeeeetttttty... all is forgiven Nintendo... well, most is forgiven.  But I'm actually not gonna look too hard, try to not spoil too much.  ...An ELECTROMAGNET?  WHAT IS THIS CRAZINESS DOING IN HYRULE?

Wiimote features: built-in speaker, rumble for immersion; motion sensing in the nunchuck. Those weren't the "one last big secret" you've been promising Nintendo. =P Oh well, it's not like it's not nifty enough already.

I can't say I quite understand how the Wiimote is supposed to control Super Mario Galaxy, I mean in an innovative, intuitive way.

Woah, that Sonic looks hyper! ...Uhh, it does.  Not trying to pun really

DS time!  This is actually relevant to me since I actually own a DS and all!

POKEMON!  HERE WE G--oh.  Mysterious Dungeons.  I want Diamond/Pearl damn you.

Is that a pink DS Lite?  Gimme! XD

OUENDAN LOCALIZED!!!  I wonder if it'll have new songs?  75% chance I'll buy it again =D

Yoshi's Island 2!  Ooo!

Back to our Wiis.  It's going to be doing stuff even after I turn it off?  That's just ever-so-slightly creepy.  What if I don't want to update my games or let people into my Animal Crossing town?

Man, tennis looks hard. =D  I think this Wiimote is actually going to make gaming HARDER for me because I am teh lose at sports =D =D

Edit: Upon further reflection, I think I'll still be fine with buying GC Twilight Princess and holding off for a price drop/must have game/more monies on the Wii. As long as the Wiimote controls are the *only* thing that's different. Otherwise I... I don't know what I'll do


Oh god it's done.  Okay, time for catchups.

Is it just me, or has Link's voice changed? He sounds more... gruff. And it's so, so pretty! I just want that game so very, very much. And I want it NOW!
Fire Emblem looks stunning- I just might have to get me into that!

Yes I noticed that during one of his grunts, I was like "Woah, that wasn't OoT Link-like." But Hiyama Nobuyuki's voice is actually normally really really deep =D And for some reason he goes into this high Link-pitch when he's doing really hardcore battle cries =D

Try playing Fire Emblem on the GBA first - it's a strategy game and not at all like what the cutscenes they show you in the trailer might suggest. =D Think of it like Battlechess, where you get to look at shiny movies when pieces attack each other.

It doesn't sound like him, does it? I like it that it's different; they're not the same Link after all.

...See, chess just scares me! ;) I've been neglecting my poor GBA- Sonic Advance 3 was the last thing I bought for it and I think that it's on it's last legs (I inherited it from my sister, who unfortunately had the thing yoinked from her grasp by an obnoxious small child who promptly dropped it in a muddy puddle. Result: D-pad is fucked and it's impossible to beat Ganon with it on ALttP) I plan to DS my goods soonish.

Wait for the DS Lite! ...Although I'm not sure exactly when it comes out in Europe. Should be about a month's time, at any rate.

P.S. Have you tried cleaning around the buttons with a clean, dry toothbrush? It sounds like your problem is deeper than that, but couldn't hurt to try.

I suck at chess too. That's why I haven't gotten very far in Fire Emblem and just sit around ogling the cutscenes Nintendo throws at us every year. =P
