Otomedius Excellent
Even if some retailer revelations spoiled the size of the surprise, I’m still ten shades of strange-shooter-happy to get an email confirming that Konami is bringing Otomedius Excellent to the 360 this year. The sequel to Otomedius Gorgeous offers nine “stunning” characters over Konami’s brand of 2D sidescrolling – and three players can apparently team up locally or over XBLA.

Konami even mentions “exciting downloadable content to be announced later”. Not only is Konami bringing it here, but they even sound excited about it –

“As the sequel to the 2008 Japanese hit Otomedius Gorgeous, Otomedius Excellent boasts a significant visual and gameplay update since its predecessor. Accompanied by brilliant graphics and an excellent soundtrack, Otomedius Excellent will engage fans with the Gradius franchise on a whole new level.” – Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.

Aileen caught up with XSEED Games this week to try out Ivy the Kiwi? on Wii, but also found out plenty more about the DS version as well as some info about the digital versions in the works for DSiWare and WiiWare and how they differ from the retail copies.

Thanks to the magic of audio, you can hear about it straight from XSEED Games at the show. You can also check out some video of the game after the break.

Trailer Park – Tron Evolution

Tron Evolution
I’ve decided this week that Disney’s videogame for Tron Evolution was destined to be at E3 2010 – reminding companies that until they can actually put us inside the game grid, they’re just wasting our time with inferior products.

The latest bit of trailer can be had after the break – it’s more slick than informative, but it’s very slick so I forgive it.

Journey
Journey is the title of the next PlayStation 3 release from thatgamecompany, what the studio is calling an “online adventure experience” in an exotic land where players explore an ancient civilization whilst walking, gliding, and flying. Journey’s immediate hook for your attention is online play that will encourage players to explore this strange land with other strangers met along the way.

Pixeljunk Shooter 2
Feel like getting eaten? That’s where PixelJunk Shooter 2 plans to pick up, directly following the original. The game’s also bringing online multiplayer and ghosting options along with online ranking when it hits the PlayStation Network later this year.

Other Sony bits grabbing attention from yesterday are on the PSP front, with Patapon 3 aiming for a release this fall – complete with a rather stark teaser promising a demo on June 23.

And least I forget, Valkyria Chronicles 2 has a date with my PSP on August 31.

Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid-palooza

Metal Gear Solid 3DS
Turns out that Metal Gear Solid 3D Snaker Eater – The Naked Sample for Nintendo 3DS is Hideo Kojima’s third mystery E3 title – which severely surprised the hell out of me for what it’s worth. Oh ZOE, shall I never know your future exploits?

Kojima Productions has added a teaser site for the game with some screenshots that seem to leave many of my fellow editors cursing the amount of devices Metal Gear Solid fans are driven to purchase.

As one of those fans, who is still happily chewing through Peace Walker this week, Metal Gear is one of the very few things you can never have too much of, especially when following Big Boss’ story – though even I wonder if Kojima wants a break yet.
