Something has shifted in the Universe.
Microsoft announced nothing but motion control soft-core mom games.
But somehow, Nintendo announced nothing but BIG AMAZING GAMES!
The Show started with the new Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Despite technical difficulties the game looks great, the graphics are like a cross between Twilight Princess and Windwaker. Now, I thought a new Zelda game would be the high point of the show, but it just kept on getting better.
The New Golden Sun game was given a trailer, as did the Goldeneye remake. I'm excited for a new bond, but they really didn't bring their A game graphically.
They had a big demo of Epic Mickey, and somehow, it's no longer FUGLY. The game looks great, full of obscure references to classic Disney, a changing art style, and new 2D platforming levels. I can not wait for this one.
Donkey Kong Country Returns; one of the greatest things ever to happen. Retro Studios is back, and they are making a throwback to one of my top games of all time! 2D Platforming is absolutely not dead. The game looks like blast, and I'll be there day one.
The 2D platforming was continued by Kirby: Epic Yarn. This game has to be seen to be believed. It is done in a style that makes it look like it is made out of yarn, scraps of fabric, zippers, buttons, and anything else you would find in my moms desk. Again, I can't wait.
Then the 3DS came on to the stage. The little bugger looks amazing, you can watch 3D movies on it, it is compatible with Dsiware. And the smartest thing that the N has done in years, the 3D effect has a slider so that you can change the intensity of the effect, even turning it off.
But what is a new system without games? Well, here you go says Nintendo. The biggest surprise of the show came out to usher in the new era of Nintendo hand-held games. Kid Icarus: Uprising. the Project Sora game by Mr. Sakurai was revealed to be the game everybody ad given up on, and it looks almost like a wii game!
Throughout the day, many games have been announced for the DSi, a remake of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater, A Remake of StarFox64, and even a remake of Ocarina of Time are among them. We still do not have a price or a release date, but I'll be there regardless.
All in all, it's a great day to be a Nintendo Fan.
Sony's press conference was not bad either, mostly they showed off their new MOVE controller, it was just more ME TOO. The only unknown game they announced was a new Twisted Metal game, which looks scary awesome. And they showed a Portal 3 trailer, and I'm always ready for that.
If this section seems small, it's because I own no Sony Platforms.
Tomorrow is Konami, more then!
