The E3 dump, part 1!
Dun care about Microsoft, dun care about Sony. Let's go Nintendo!
Skyward Sword:
- OMG, is that Zelda as an Important Childhood Friend? And she rides a dragon bird thing? <3<3<3<3<3
- Didn't really pay attention to anything else. XP Will perhaps ramble more when I get a chance to scrutinize the trailer again.
- Holiday this year? I'll believe it when I see it XP
Zelda 25th Annniversary:
- Gold Wiimote? I already have enough Wiimotes you jerks XP I wanted a gold 3DS!
- I'm not really all that excited about 4 Swords on DSiware, but hey, it's free!
- I hope they come up with some new arrangements for this Zelda Symphony tour. I mean I imagine they will, but all the other video game concerts have been playing the same Zelda orchestral arrangement forever.
- I will certainly be among the first to register OoT3D on Club Nintendo, buuuut... how different could the free OoT3D soundtrack be from the original? I mean I just read an Iwata Asks the other day about how they worked so hard to stay true to the original.
3DS 1st Party:
Mario Kart - I think I've worn out my Mario Kart thumbs on the old DS already, but this one looks solid nonetheless. I might play it depending on when it comes out.
Starfox - not till September? I'm surprised. It's probably that they can totally afford to space things out OH YEAH.
Super Mario 3D - Looks solid, no question. But can... can he actually fly with thatraccoon tanuki suit?
Kid Icarus Uprising - Uhh... how did Pit land in a Final Fantasy game? Oh... well... It'll be a good game no matter. And with AR card battles? DO THIS WITH POKEMONS
Luigi's Mansion 2! This game deserves a sequel not that I played the first one! Did you know that Nintendo had experimented with displaying the first game in 3D even on the Gamecube?
3DS 3rd Party:
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D - looks like hilarious Wesker action. Need nothing else.
Mario & Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games
Ace Combat 3D
Tetris - Well... it's Tetris.
Cave Story 3D
Resident Evil: Revelations
Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions
Tekken 3D
Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D
Weeyoo Wiiu:
As reported, the controller has a touch screen. But what are you going to do with it, Nintendo? Well...
- taking console games on the go
- drawing better fanart than 99% of people can manage (I wonder what's the resolution and sensitivity of that?)
- playing Reversi
- interact with the TV via built-in camera
- do touch-sensitive things like shoot ninja stars
- video chat
- web browser
- share photos/videos to the TV or something... I mean I can just do that with an SD card right...
- play a super-shiny newversion demo of Twilight Princess with fantastic-looking lighting and shaders??? DAMMIT IWATA WHAT'S UP WITH THIS
Smash Bros from Sakurai on both the 3DS and Wiiu~~~ Well, no details on it today, I'm sure it'll be solid.
Wow, the Wiiu looks powerful all right. Definitely up to par (and better??) with 360 and PS3 now. That, I think, is really the most important thing this time around, because that means...
3rd Party games!
- Darksiders 2 - the rumor was true! (Not that I cared about the first Darksiders.)
- Tekken - YAY I CAN DRAW ON MY CHARACTERS YAY. Um... okay.
- Arkham City oh shi!
- Assassin's Creed! Finally it's a strong enough console!
- Dirt - some racing game that looks quite good
- Aliens Colonial Marines
- Ghost Recon Online - don't care about this, but solid FPSs never hurt I guess.
- Metro Last Light - this looks like a slightly more interesting FPS in a slightly more interesting setting.
- Ninja Gaiden 3
There will surely be more info on the Wiiu and Skyward Sword to come in later interviews/roundtables whatnot. For now I'll just drop this here with links to trailers coming ASAP.
