So Nintendo took the classic Super Mario Bros. that everybody loves, and they made something new with it. Basically, this is Super Mario Bros., but you can play with 4 people, including yourself, all at one time. The graphics are updated as well. It’s pretty much the same as New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, which was a great game.
I think this game could actually be pretty fun. Having 4 people run through the levels of Super Mario Bros., all at once, fighting over power-ups and coins, throwing each other around, battling for the top score. It’s almost like a side scrolling Super Smash Bros.
The game definitely looks like it has potential. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.
This is the latest trailer for Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, from E3 2009. This game is the followup to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and takes us through the story of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
The graphics are updated and the game is “on rails”, but watching this trailer just gives me a nostalgia attack. Growing up during the “Playstation era”, Resident Evil, especially Resident Evil 2, is one of my favorite games of all time. Sure, it’s not a remake, like many fans want, but it’s enough…for now.
The Darkside Chronicles hits the Nintendo Wii sometime towards the end of the year!
This is easily my favorite announcement from today’s Nintendo press conference at E3 2009. Not because it’s the best looking thing at E3, but because it’s the only thing from Nintendo that really got my attention.
Sure, it looks like Super Mario Galaxy 1. I’ve seen a lot of talk on the internet about how it’s just a recycled game. Well, I don’t think that’s true. There were 3 “Super Mario Bros.” games, there were 2 “Super Mario World” games. Why can’t there be 2 “Super Mario Galaxy” games? It’s exciting if you think about it. This is the first true, full sequel to a Mario game, on the same system, since the Nintendo NES with Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3. We all know Super Mario World 2 on the Super Nintendo wasn’t a true sequel.
What I’m really excited about? I’m sure you can guess it…Yoshi! Our favorite mountable little green dinosaur thing is back! I don’t know about you guys, but Yoshi has always secretly been my favorite thing in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is set for release sometime in 2010. By “sometime”, I mean anytime from January 1st, 2010 through December 31st, 2010. The wait is on!
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!
Yesterday, during the Microsoft Press Conference at E3, Project Natal was unveiled. Basically, Project Natal is motion detection device. It can also has facial recognition, voice recognition, and many other things that are exciting. Do yourself a favor, and just watch the video above. That’s just a taste at what the possibilities are with Project Natal.
So, pretty cool, right? You can play video games, communicate easily with friends and family, enjoy your movies and other media; all without a remote or a controller. That alone is amazing. The facial recognition and voice recognition is also amazing. Just walking in front of your TV, your Xbox can log you in, and do the same with anybody else who’s face comes in the room.
It gets better. Peter Molyneux, the man responsible for Fable and Fable II, unveiled Milo. Milo is a digital being. He can recognize your face and your voice, via the device code named “Project Natal”. You can have conversations with him, you can interact with him, he can see your emotions, he himself can emote. This is just freaky future stuff. Freaky, yet so cool.
Just imagine walking up to your TV, and always having a virtual friend waiting to see and talk to you. It’s really amazing. I wish there were more details, but this stuff is kept behind closed doors at E3. Is Milo aware? Does he have memories? What would he say if you told him you were turning off the Xbox, in turn turning him off? Would he be scared, ask for mercy? Who knows? Skynet anyone?
I can imagine Fable III having something like this. Being able to communicate and interact with the characters in the cities, have relationships and conversations with computer players that remember who you are. This stuff could quite possibly be the future of gaming and entertainment. Gaming with your body. Virtual, AI beings…
Okay, okay; enough of me talking about it, just watch the video below and let your imagination take control.
Yet another great looking sandbox game. It’s almost like GTA4, but instead of running around Liberty City, you’re able to roam and explore Nazi occupied Paris. Is it just me, or are there not enough sandbox games? I love being able to go where I want, do what I want to do, kill anybody I want to kill…Okay, that might have sounded a little psycho.
Check out the trailer above and watch the amazing looking gameplay footage below!
