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!

Usually, I don’t like all the weird Japanese stuff, but this might be different. It’s an ad for The Legend of Zelda, made back in the early 90’s. I’m not sure why Link being played by a female, but I think I like it.

The Angry Video Game Nerd Metal GearIn the latest review, The Angry Video Game Nerd takes on the NES classic, Metal Gear.

I actually own the NES version of Metal Gear. Only because I found it at a thrift store for $2. I’ve never really played any of the Metal Gear games other than Metal Gear Solid on the PS1. Well, the Angry Video Game Nerd doesn’t let this classic franchise get away with anything. He doesn’t care if Metal Gear is one of the most popular gaming series ever, he does his job, and reviews it, angrily.

Watch the new AVGN video below…

The Angry Video Game Nerd is back after more than a month without a new review. He gives us a little history on Atari, leading up to the Atari Jaguar, a look back at the “Bit Wars”, and how Atari failed to one up systems like the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, even with it’s superior hardware.

Check back in for part 2 soon.

Inspired by a periodic table of cartoon characters, a blogger at I Heart Chaos decided to make one with video game characters. We can conclude that is was a success.

Capcom announced Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles for the Wii, as well as a port of the original Resident Evil, and Resident Evil Zero for the Wii.

I would much rather have a Resident Evil 2 remake, but I can’t deny that this trailer and these pictures are getting me excited. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is a follow up to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and it takes place during the story of Resident Evil 2, and features Leon and Claire as the main characters; just like the actual game did. It’ll be “on rails”, an arcade shooter, not an open world game. The graphics look amazing. They’re probably not the best thing you’ve ever seen, but just looking at them, while remembering Resident Evil 2 on the PS1, this is amazing.

Capcom will be draining the wallets of many die hard Resident Evil fans. Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero ports, and now Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Not to mention Street Fighter 4.

Check out the trailer above and look at these beautiful pictures below…

Resident Evil Wii
So, as Resident Evil 5 comes out for the PS3 and Xbox 360, the Wii gets some zombie action of it’s own. Well, sort of.

Capcom has announced that they will port Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to the Wii. The original Resident Evil was already ported to the Gamecube and Resident Evil Zero was an exclusive Gamecube game. Resident Evil Zero’s Wii port has been out in Japan for a while now, and it’s finally being released to the rest of the world. Both Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero have been refitted to support the Wiimote and Nunchuk. I’m assuming that means they’ll both have an aiming system like Resident Evil 4 did on the Wii. If not, then there really isn’t any point in buying them; you can just play the Gamecube versions with the Wii.

So, two down, one to go. Many Resident Evil fans, including myself, want a full blown remake of Resident Evil 2. It’s easily my favorite of all the RE games so far, closely followed by RE4; and it needs a makeover with current generation consoles. It looks like we’re getting our wish…
