Nintendo Bullet Points



Sony Bullet Points


  • PSP Go! is Sony's new handheld. It will cost $249.99 and be wifi enabled with a 16 GB flash drive. You'll be able to direct download games, movies and TV shows onto the device. It is 40% lighter then the original PSP unit.
  • Gran Turismo PSP will be a launch title for the PSP Go!
  • Big releases for the PSP Go! include Resident Evil and Metal Gear: Peace Walker. Peace Walker is a true sequel in the Metal Gear franchise and will be set in the 1970s.
  • Sony is working on a motion control device that while still in the early stages, looked like it might be stiff competition for Natal.
  • God of War III was presented through a gameplay demo that looked pretty epic. Certainly the bloodiest game yet.
  • The Last Guardian is a new PS3 game from the maker's of Ico. It includes a Bird/Dog/Rat creature. Hard to explain :)
  • Final Fantasy XIV was announced and will feature some online components. It, unlike XIII, will be a Sony exclusive title.
  • Assassin's Creed 2 was shown with gameplay. Involved some high flying action in DaVinci's flying machine.
  • Rockstar North is working on an exclusive title for the PS3 named Agent. Not much is know.
  • You'll be able to download Final Fantasy VII on PSN.
  • ModNation Races is a PS3 kart game that allows you to build virtual tracks and share with friends. Think LittleBigPlanet for racing.
  • Sony will still continue to support current PSPs.
  • An Uncharted 2 trailer was shown. It included a pretty impressive fight with a helicopter.
  • MAG was demoed for the second E3 in a row. This time live with a 250 person game being played. It is due "This Fall"

COP: The Recruit isn't for the WII, but for the DS.


Askaon June 2, 2009 at 10:56 a.m.
Isn't C.O.P. a DS game?
DannyJon June 2, 2009 at 10:57 a.m.
That lady trying to sell us the DS made me want to kill myself out of boredom.
MasterSplinteron June 2, 2009 at 10:57 a.m.
I think C.O.P. is a DS game.

Good attempt to save face with Mario and Metroid.

I'm still convinced the vitality sensor wasn't completely serious.
Rioon June 2, 2009 at 10:57 a.m.
damn, finally a new Golden Sun.  I have been waiting far too long for a new one.

I don't know, a few interesting RPGs comming out this year, I always like a funny and quirkey Mario game like this new Bowser thing. They should of shown some Zelda though to get some excitement in there.
Winterneton June 2, 2009 at 10:59 a.m.

@Aeterna: fixed, thank you.
ElectricHaggison June 2, 2009 at 11 a.m.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 stands out to me as the most exciting thing. Crystal Bearers also looks interesting.
CelticKrushon June 2, 2009 at 11:01 a.m.
4 player super mario looks like a lot of fun.
Crash_Happyon June 2, 2009 at 11:01 a.m.
I said it before, that vitality thing looks like a pulse oximeter. I guess it'll be used like one of those sports watches that supposedly monitors your pulse.
thefiretempleon June 2, 2009 at 11:01 a.m.
Surprised about no new Zelda, but otherwise quite pleased.
PosableActionFigureon June 2, 2009 at 11:02 a.m.
Mario Galaxy 2, AKA the map pack.
HatKing is online on June 2, 2009 at 11:02 a.m.
Holy shit...I have no idea what Women's Murder Club is but it sounds both amazing and terrifying.
adidas1984xon June 2, 2009 at 11:03 a.m.
sony and microsoft need to join forces and make nintendo join them and make the ultimate one and only console
Gigamanon June 2, 2009 at 11:04 a.m.
Disappointed. Mario Galaxy 2? There has never been a Mario sequel.
No, not that type. You know what I mean.
