My E3 Impressions So Far


Here, I'll do a quick rundown of my thoughts regarding the different games/hardware shown this year:


Metal Gear Solid: Rising (360/PS3)

  • That cutting mechanic is so excessive...it's awesome! I think that the game is probably going to become God of War-like, in gameplay, which I hope doesn't happen. I don't really want to lose the stealth, but otherwise, I'm feeling good about where this off-shoot is heading.

Kinect (360)

  • I don't care. Seriously. I think that Kinect is pretty cool, and a good step forward for motion sensing as a game-related thing, but until some games are announced that interest me, I'm gonna stop thinking about it. Plus, the name should've been announced before Natal became a household name. I'm used to saying "Kinect" when talking about "Natal", but "Kinect" doesn't mean "Natal" to me. 

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

  • Hey, you know them Zelda games? This is one of them, except the sword movements are supposed to be 1:1 with your WiiMotion Plus-enhanced Wii remote; that's pretty cool if you ask me! I'm very much looking forward to following this game.
  • I'm a big Kirby fan--like a big Kirby fan. When I came home after school today and was greeted with a Kirby trailer that wasn't a remake/port/collection, I freaked. When I watched it, I really got into the look (which is very stylish), but I immediately became disheartened, because I thought it would be a 3DS game. Dude, no, it's not! It's a Wii game! HELL YEAH! Now if only that Gamecube game got uncanceled...

Donkey Kong Returns (Wii)

  • The Metroid Prime guys are making this, and it looks like if they made the SNES Donkey Kong Country games better. I don't know much else to say, besides that it's a Wii game as well. Boo-shacka!

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS)

  • Did I ever tell you that I'm a Golden Sun fan? No? Well I am. I'm really looking forward to this, and I think it's shaping up pretty well from the trailer. Good art style, and looks like they kept the psynergy mechanics in from the previous two games. Did I mention that it's coming out this holiday season? It totally is! After the project went dark for a year, I was expecting it to come out in 2011!

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (360/PS3/PC)

  • I'm mostly excited about this one because of the multiplayer aspect. I'll have to admit that I was skeptical of multiplayer AC, but the articles I read make it seem like it works really well, so colour me satiated and hopeful. 

Nintendo 3DS

  • Holy ****. I'm not a movie person, so I don't have much 3D experience, and the 3D I have seen, I haven't really been impressed by (yeah, I saw Avatar). However! If the 3D in this system really works, then Nintendo is my God once more! It's got the cameras of the DSi (which can take 3D pictures O_O), the analog nub of the PSP (which I think is concave, not convex like the PSP, which is way better), and this badass list of software currently in development. Did you see the Metal Gear Solid, Super Street Fighter IV, Paper Mario, Bomberman, Professor Layton, and Shin Megami Tensei titles? Yeah, I'm sold.


So as far as I'm concerned, Nintendo won E3 this year. The past couple of years have been a bummer for Nintendo, so I'm glad to see them picking up steam. I didn't actually see the conferences, so there may have been stuff announced that I didn't see, so if that gets written about (and I'm excited about it), I'll totally update this post. Tell me your excitement list, guys!
