The E3 dump, part 2!

Media! I have all these artworks in original OMGHUEG formats, but I doubt you'd need them from me.

Skyward Sword:
You can see a 5-minute walkthrough video of the demo here.
Artwork: Link and his birdie! | Zelda and her birdie! | That weird douche-y sword guy. Will we get a name for him this E3?
Screenshots: Yeah yeah, get all your Avatar/How to Train Your Dragon jokes out now | There's something you should know. I'm not right-handed. | 3 | Really like the texture & design on this spi--er, Skulltula? | When I hit him, DIAMONDS fly out | 6 | Zelda~~ :3 | 8 | 9 | 10 | I like those crystals in the background and want to slash them for Rupees | EVERYBODY HAS WEIRD LIPS IN THIS GAME. Nintendo what's wrong with your modelers.

Ocarina of Time 3D:
Hey look, they actually made a bit of new artwork instead of just vector-tracing all the pre-existing concept art.
Well there's this Lisa Frank-looking thing. | Young Link | Young Zelda | Ganondorf

Games Nintendo didn't talk about in their conference:
Animal Crossing: NO NO MORE. Although they ARE kind of tempting with their cosplay costumes and swimming and DAMMIT NINTENDO I SAID NO
Paper Mario: Eh, not much to say about it that's not a given. Paper Mario's cute and great, looks great in 3D, what's there to note.
Kirby Wii: Looks solid and decent until I got to the KURIBO'S SHOE POWER. Holy crap, Kirby's going to kill the world.
Rhythm Heaven: I really enjoyed the previous handheld ones, but this trailer is really uninspiring and the music doesn't even seem synched to the gameplay. Not to mention the songs aren't nearly as catchy as they used to be if this is representative of in-game music.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games: I don't care a lick about this, except to point out the screenshot of Sonic riding a horse. That is the weirdest thing I've seen today.
Kirby Mass Attack: Looks like hilarious chaos. They seem to have come up with a lot of good ideas to do with this weird-ass gameplay concept.
Professor Layton and the Last Specter: I've got nothing to say. Gonna buy it, gonna be awesome.


There's gonna be a couple of developer roundtables supposedly tonight and tomorrow night, so expect perhaps a bit more news ramble then.

God they made Ganondorf ugly XD Love it though. Was hoping for more new Ocarina of Time art.

I like how the weird new guy in Skyward Sword has that hipster hair. Do you have Link and his bird in anything bigger? He's so tiny and beautiful. ;.;

Yeah, pretty much all the OoT3D art they've published are like high-res traced versions of old art. Sloppily traced, too, if you look at em close up. I didn't expect them to even have any new art.

Boy do I have it bigger. How does a 7000x5700 17meg png (http://www.liuart.com/misc/Wii_ZeldaSS_1_char01_E3.png) sound? Lemme know when you're done so I can delete that off my server.

I was at least a little pleased for slightly better versions of the old shit. But yeah, I will also take new stuff. :D

And SWEET thank you! I couldn't find a decent version of that. Now I have Link's pretty man face all nice and large. I grabbed it. Thanks a bunch!

Link's [...] man face

I uh... I believe we've already ruled that extremely debatable (http://nendil.livejournal.com/157179.html).

You took out my qualifying "pretty"! *pets Link* XD

Oh yeah, the roundtable is being liveblogged here: http://wii.ign.com/articles/117/1173797p1.html

I lol'd at "Miyamoto was surprised by how much of the game he'd forgotten when he replayed it recently...He saw some lines in the game he thought were funny, forgetting he was the one who wrote them." because I can so see that. He'd probably be like "LOL I am FUNNY"
