A Boy and His Blob, a two-dimensional puzzle-platformer has been referred to as "inspired by" and a "rebirth" of the now twenty-year-old original rather than a straightforward remake.
Yar, I don't even need E3 now... Nintendo's conference can fuck that up for all I care, it's the games ... [more]
Sadly, whether Nintendos E3 conference will be similar to the next one, or whether they will anounce half a dozen IP games and new hardware: The entirety of the Wii awesomeness of the last 6 months will be completely ignored and forgotten. And no new 3rd party games will be announced, because no one is going to pay attention with a Nintendo IP game on the horizon.
Gnah. I wish it wasn't E3. Things are going so well at the moment, but Nintendo and the fanboys of this world will fuck this up. : /
I don't think a Nintendo title would affect things in this way. Heck, things didn't really improve all that much while Nintendo hasn't put out high profile games, in a sense proving the nay sayers were just spewing bullshit. All it took was a few developers making good games and doing well, it's not gonna stop if Nintendo shows a new Mario or Zelda. I mean, most of the upcoming games are unreleased anyway, if they show a Zelda will they cancel The Crystal Bearers and Dragon Quest X and Spyborgs and Monster Hunter 3 and NMH2? Of course not.
I was just saying I personally don't really care whether they make their E3 conference about the games or like the last one as the games are coming anyway. We have enough announcements to last for 2009 and some of 2010 as well. Just like the last E3 when everyone stuck at the "shit conference" and ignored the games, yet in the coming months the very same games were labeled as saviors (MadWorld, De Blob, etc). Why was a save needed, the games were shown already in the very same E3 they despised. They chose to be ignorant.
So, in some ways I think it's worse if the Nintendo conference is "bad" because then everyone will start the same "no gaemz" bullshit again, ignoring what's actually on the showfloor. But that's not Nintendo's or anyone else's fault than the people who do the coverage and emphasise insignificant things over the damn games. To actual gamers that take note of that and see the games, it won't matter either way.
