Nintendo’s E3 2010 – You Tell Us

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , — Jamie Love @ 2:27 pm

Nintendo Press Conference Follow Up
I suppose I should start listing off everything that Nintendo just showed to the world, but there’s plenty of sites jamming out the assets Nintendo just made available – believe me there’s giga amounts of assets flying across the net right now.

What I’d rather know is what grabbed your attention during the Press Conference. Personally I was thrilled to see so much emphasis on side-scrolling games like Kirby, Donkey Kong, and even the Steamboat Mickey bit of play within Disney’s Epic Mickey. I was also glad to see Metroid: Other M receive a more atmospheric trailer, and hear Reggie hit on the long running themes of the series, even if he had to mention emotional drama directly after.

Even Mario Sports Mix got my attention, and that’s not even close to scraping the list of everything announced live and via the press releases hitting us.

Obviously the 3DS was a show stealer, but what else is making you salivate?

Bonus points if you don’t use “Donkey Kong made me go bananas!” :/

Your Upcoming 3DS Titles

3DS List
When Nintendo said they had too many developers interested and working on potential 3DS titles, they weren’t kidding. While I try to shovel and sort all the information flying at my head, check out Nintendo’s partial list of upcoming first and third party games tentatively slated for Nintendo’s newest handheld.

Take it with a grain of salt because it’s likely to be revisioned a dozen times, but I’ve highlighted a few titles that make me smile.

Nintendo Nails It

Nintendo Press Conference
When Reggie walked out on stage this morning, his key points were about technology as a tool, and that as impressive as technology can seem during a week like E3, it’s the experience that matters – requiring a balance that matches technology with game design to create the games that can create memorable experiences.

After several years of doubts and speculation about what courting an expanding casual market meant for the long time gamer, there was less banter and awkward jokes, replaced by a morning of titles that really do travel across the board with stops at all points in between – all of the announcements leading us toward the first reveal of the 3DS.

The bombardment of hands-on reports and E3 assets has begun.

Trailer Park – Mindjack

Mindjack
Anyone who gave Cavia’s 2004 PlayStation 2 title, Ghost in the Shell – Stand Alone Complex a chance will undoubedly recall the game’s most unique feature, namely the occassional ability to hack opponents in order to turn enemies against one another for short bouts of time.

Square-Enix has released an E3 trailer for another title with developer Feelplus, who possibly thought that was as good an idea for a fuller game as I did at the time. How it comes together remains to be seen of course, but I’d appreciate a game that offers me a chance to jump out of stereotypical and obligatory lead characters to take others for a spin.

Either way, somebody needs to start giving Squeenix a hand naming games. Anybody else immediately remember that awesomely awful Emilio Estevez / Mick Jagger movie Freejack?

Catch the trailer after the break.

Kojima Productions – Two Down, One to Go?

Kojima Productions
Kojima Productions’ E3 site got an update since I last took a look at it, leaving a pretty wide space for everyone to start shouting out their favorite possibilities for what a third mystery E3 reveal title might be.

I’m going to shout-out Zone of the Enders 3 from now until we find out, but don’t let that spoil your fun if you’re after something else. Also expect to find out the answer sometime between the Sony Press Conference today and Konami’s own Press Conference tomorrow.

Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade 2010

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , — Jamie Love @ 7:39 pm

Summer of Arcade
Microsoft is once again grouping together some key XBLA titles this summer under their “summer of arcade” theme. This year’s titles include Lara Croft’s new venue in The Guardian of Light, reborn water racer Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Indie title Limbo, and the death sport reality show themed Monday Night Combat.

Of those titles mentioned, I know Lara Croft will set you back 1200 MS Points so far – we’ll get more info on the others to you as it comes in.

In the meantime I can offer you a montage trailer after the break, if you’re interested.
