This is the week where gamers sit on their asses and watch G4TV for their E3 coverage. I myself do it, so I won’t make fun…unless needed. Yesterday, I was too tired to type up a blog for the spotlight for Ubisoft. Ubisoft had that guy from “The Soup” the host of Ubisoft. It was funny. I think it’s a great idea to have celebrities hosting E3 events.
Anywho, I’ll start with Nintendo. Everyone knows who Nintendo is by their mascots. Mario, Link, Kirby, Fox, and other world known characters. Why do people watch E3? For the games. They showed a trailer for the long awaited new Zelda game. Here’s the trailer for those who haven’t seen it yet. During the demonstration of this, Shigeru Miyamoto had some technical difficulties. The Wii Motion Plus wasn’t being Plus. It was being a pain in the ass. I was kinda skeptical about the whole thing, but now that I know it might’ve been some type of technical difficulty, I’m more reassured about this game. It looks sweet!
What I’m most interested in from Nintendo is: Metroid: The Other M, Golden Sun: Dark Sawn (For the DS), Donkey Kong Country (Returns), and maybe Kid Icarus. The only reason why I’m not as excited is because he’s a little bitch in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Cheap as hell! Nintendo is still coming out with family friendly games. Including Ubisoft’s diamond in the rough: Just Dance 2. Yes, a sequel is coming out for it. Speaking of dancing, Ubisoft is also coming out with a Michael Jackson dance game. Mario and his friends are coming out with new sport games. “Mario Sports Mix,” this contains Beach Volleyball, Hockey eh, and Basketball! You can see Mario pull off Kobe’s and Jordan’s! Remember “Nintendog’s?” Well, they’re also back with new friends. Cats. Yep, Nintendog’s + Cats! Sounds awesome 
. Not a Nintendog type of guy. So, I’ll just not say any more… Disney coming out with Mickey as the hero. Epic Mickey might be a hit or miss. I might play it but, not buy it. I think it’s kinda like Mario Sunshine. Mickey runs around with a paint brush which can erase or add to anything on the screen. The speaker says it’s more based on game play. What he meant by that is how the player plays. You can erase people out the game if you wanted. It’s just based on the players game play.
Nintendo also has a little jewel that they showed a bit. It’s the Nintendo 3DS. See, just one number can change every thing! Get it? 3D-S?! Ha…ahem…The Nintendo 3DS is a Nintendo DS with a bigger top screen. The reason why the screen is bigger than the touch screen is to help with the 3D. The Nintendo 3DS was made to raise the bar. 3DS is a 3D handheld without the use of 3D glasses. It also has a head tracking camera to make the 3D function more responsive and two 3 mega pixel cameras on the top of the 3DS. Why are there two camera? To take 3D pictures! I’m kinda confused on how that works, but what every, I’m buying one! On the side, The 3DS has a slider to adjust or get rid of the 3D effect during game play. Their games that they showed are pretty much set. They look good for being Wii and DS games. Though, one game still looked the same as the first time it came out. It’s another Golden game. Golden Eye. It still looks like the old N64 graphics, but I grew up with those graphics, so I don’t mind.
Now for Sony. They showed the full experience of the Playstation Move. With what they showed during and on a presentation trailer, I want to buy one. But they a hella expensive! $50 bucks for one Playstation Move and another $30 bucks for the navigation controls. So basically $80 for a set of controls for one game. That’s what pisses me off. Even though, I’ll find the money….some how….The way it works is the Eye Toy picks up the glowing balls on the top of the PS Move and tracks your body that way. It’s like the Microsoft Kinekt (The late Project Natal.)
Enough about their new toy, now to their games. Sony has a sweet set list of games. The big jewels of their set list are the gruesome KILLZONE 3, Little Big Planet 2, Crysis 2, and some others depends on preference. They showed game play for Killzone 3 and I’m kinda impressed. It seems solid. Hopefully it doesn’t just drop the ball. Sequels can be either bad or good. It depends on how much content they put in or took out. Let’s just hope that it isn’t shite. They also showed Kung Lao cutting Reptile in half with his hat. Yes, Mortal Kombat! It looks so nice. I’m glad Midway was bought out from someone else and left from WB. More bloody, less pansy fatalities. I don’t know much about it, but I can’t wait till it comes out. Twisted Metal is coming back. You member! The ice cream truck with the clown head on top? Yeah, that game. And for those Racing Car enthusiasts, Gran Turismo 5 is coming and for those missing on the old PS2 games like Jak, Sly Cooper, and maybe Ratchet and Clank, even tho they have a new gen game, these three games are colliding. You can play either play Jak, Daxter, Sly, Ratchet, Clank, and that turtle. I never played Sly, so I don’t know his name. It’s called Heroes On the Move. Its a working title. So, it may be different when it comes out.
E3 is the week where hopes are brought up about new games. I wish to go some year. I want to be a G4TV correspondent. That’s kinda my dream job! A man can dream right? Sigh…
