The Nintendo Press Conference at E3: Read while you watch as a companion!

Huh.

Where to begin over the announcements made at the biggest Exposition of Gaming Glory about the Juggernaut of the console market?

How about the beginning...

The latest foray into Mario's universe looks very interesting. Take the two very popular DS Mario games and combine them. Four players, two dimensions, and some interesting dynamics on the Wii, for sure.

More Wii Fit BS. Oh, and now you can BE Mario. People are going to be breaking those balance boards...

Still no Zelda...

Oooooh...the MotionPlus with a new Red Steel Game...maybe they can get all the motion right this time. That game could have been great, and this is just what it needs. SportsResort looks fun, but where is the core attraction?

Oh. Golden Sun. There it is.

Now to complain.

Why doesn't Square release REAL games for the Nintendo systems?

FF: Crystal Chronicles, but not FF: XIII.

This new Kingdom Hearts spinoff, but not KH3.

Still no Zelda...

I wish this woman would go away, I liked it when Shigeru used to do these things and they would combine his broken Engrish with dubbed Japanese.

Do it yourself WarioWare? That's gonna be naughty in the future. People are twisted.

LOZ: Spirit Tracks. Saw this trailer. Love Zelda. Want Zelda for Wii. Where is Miyamoto?

Iwata is coming on now. Finally a Japanese guy. Haha. Love the Engrish.

Oy...no more with these "Maybe gamers". I want you to appeal to me, the Core gamer. Don't do this Iwata.

Wii vitality Sensor...Hospital equipment?

This could be interesting...imagine a Resident Evil Game where the horror is based on your heart rate...

Crazy Woman back...more Mario News?

Full 3d Mario Game...sweet.

Yoshi.

Galaxy Style Gravity Manipulation...

64 style large worlds too, though...

An atypically unoriginal name. Super Mario Galaxy...2. Oh well. Looks cool, looks fun.

Still no Zelda...

Oh Reggie, I DO Want more.

Third Party Titles with a "harder edge".

"The Conduit" from Sega.

Trailer makes it look like Terminator, Bioshock, and Metroid combined.

"Resident Evil: The Dark Side Chronicles" from Capcom.

Old Characters, RE4 style Gameplay. Kinda skimpy on the trailer budget...

"Dead Space: Extraction" from EA.

Re-Make/Prequel.

Edgier game from Nintendo themselves?

With Team Ninja...

Metroid: Other M.

Oh wow. That looks in tents...so cool...

Miyamoto isn't here yet. Still no Zelda...

Waaaah. It's over.

Well, once again, we have seen a lot of attractions for those "new" gamers that need less challenging titles. However, this year at least provided some interesting titles for the core gamer. New Metroid, some third party up and comings. New Mario Galaxy. I can live with that.

So. No Zelda Wii. Yet. No Miyamoto on stage AT ALL. Way too much talking, not enough games.

Overall. An exciting year is ahead of us.
