Metroid Other M was announced at E3, during Nintendo’s press conference earlier today. It’s the trailer that ended the show, and was probably had the biggest crowd reaction. Even more than all the little DS games, the finger peripheral, and all the many Mario games.

Check out the trailer and wait for Metroid Other M, which is due sometime in 2010!

*Insert Picard facepalm here.* Seriously, I had high hopes for Sonic in the future, but I just don’t think anybody wants to play the same old game anymore. Give me Sonic 1 or Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis, or give me Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 on the Sega Dreamcast, and I’ll play it and love it, but give me any other Sonic game, and I just might punch you in the face. You know what would revive the Sonic franchise? A good game. I bet if they took Super Mario Galaxy and skinned it with Sonic characters, it would be a huge hit. Why can’t they give Sonic an amazing and original game? I grew up on Sonic and Mario. I think it’s easy to guess which of those two characters is still a dominant force in gaming. Maybe this game will turn out good. I hope so…
