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!
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!
This is the trailer for Splinter Cell Conviction that premiered yesterday at E3 2009 during the Xbox 360 Press Conference.
I have to say, this trailer and gameplay video actually makes me want to get back into the series. I loved the first two Splinter Cell games, but after that, I got a little bored. I’ve always enjoyed a game that makes you use a little wit, patience, and skill. This time Sam Fisher is out for revenge, and I’d like to help him out by picking up the controller and bashing some heads.
Make sure you watch the trailer, and please, don’t forget to check out the gameplay video below, it’s worth the time!
Halo: Reach was revealed at E3 2009 today, and all we got was this teaser trailer. At least it’s a good tease. Halo: Reach takes us back to the beginning, and the downfall of the Human colony. There are not too many details about the game yet, but when there are, you can be sure to get them here.
