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 2, 2009
Nintendo 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.
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"

Mario Galaxy 2? Metroid? c'mon man
Also I doubt Dave appreciates your name
That lady trying to sell us the DS made me want to kill myself out of boredom.
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.

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.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 stands out to me as the most exciting thing. Crystal Bearers also looks interesting.
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.
Holy shit...I have no idea what Women's Murder Club is but it sounds both amazing and terrifying.
sony and microsoft need to join forces and make nintendo join them and make the ultimate one and only console
Disappointed. Mario Galaxy 2? There has never been a Mario sequel.
No, not that type. You know what I mean.
