Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Dave Snider on June 3, 2009
While we've got a whole lot more info on Nintendo from this E3, this is pretty much all you need to check if you're looking for the basics. We'll try to update this regularly as more coverage comes in throughout the week.
Top 10 Nintendo Trailers
Nintendo Conference Bullet Points
- Vitality peripheral is a pulse monitor that no one has any idea of the use. No game was shown alongside of it. The audience was baffled.
- Mario Galaxy 2 is totally being made.
- Metroid: Other M is a new Metroid shooter being made for the Wii. It's due in 2010 and might have had Keifer Sutherland doing voicework (total guess on that last point).
- Golden Sun DS is a new Golden Sun gaming coming out.
- C.O.P: The Recruit is a new GTAish (hard to tell) DS exclusive game coming from Ubisoft.
- Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside story is a new RPG coming out for the DS.
- There's a new Final Fantasy game called Crystal Bearers coming out for the Wii.
- Wii Motion Plus was their big push of the conference with Wii Sports Resort as their first party title. Red Steel 2, Tiger Woods, Grand Slam Tennis and Virtua Tennis will all make use of it this summer.
- New Super Mario Bros for Wii is a multiplayer mario platformer similar to the classic NES games.
- Wii Fit Plus will come out this Fall. The first game is the best selling game in America.
- DSi sold 1 million units in two months. Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again is a new level creation game that will be on DSiWare next week.
- Lots of DS games are being targeted at tweens. Style Savvy is a fashion based game aimed at girls.
- Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion is a DS game based off the books of James Patterson.

You have informed yourself about all 45 announced games and about all the recommendable games already available and found nothing worth hooking the console up for?
Very impressive.
Most of that list isn't really all that impressive, besides SMG2 and Metroid.
New Super Mario Bros, finally a co-op mario game and galaxy 2 looks great too!
Is there a Microsoft: All You Need and a Sony: All You Need yet? That really is all I need right now.
Thanks to that Metroid trailer I might hook up my Wii in about a year.

Maybe I'm spoiled with graphics beyond the wii's capabilities, but Metroid Other M looks like an early Game Cube title. It looks like it could be a decent action game, but thats about it.
Of course not. That's what I thought when I looked at the name and one screenshot. And there aren't even Nintendo IP characters!
OK, If Jack Bauer is doing voicework in the new Metroid game, i am totally in.
Wow this is pretty well loaded. This with Microsofts are just amazing.
Lots of notable ommisions in the OP but whatever... The Crystal Bearers is Wii, not DS, thank you... How about some hands on with M Plus to go with the drooling over things you might get to maybe possibly see games of next year as opposed to this month? Archery looked pretty cool...
@Naughton: I feel sorry for anybody in your life. You must be so incredibly hard to impress, that I wouldn't think holidays and birthdays with you are at all fun.
@DrRandle: It's not really that hard to impress me, it's just going to take more than what's coming out.
Giant Bomb needs to introduce their take on the 'never' sign from e3 as the 0 star rating or in general whenever the situation is appropriate.
Golden sun ds and the new metroid are the biggest games for me right now. I cant wait for both.
