fuzmeister: E3 - Nintendo
Watched the Nintendo press event over my lunch today online. It seems like (as usual) they have some interesting first party stuff in development. Here's a few random thoughts regarding what they showed:

  • New Zelda (Skyward Sword) seems to put even more emphasis on motion controls. Piss off. -1
  • Kirby Epic Yarn reminds me a lot of Little Big Planet. 0
  • Nintendo 3DS comes with a 3D depth adjuster so you can turn it off if you want. +1
  • Kid Icarus Uprising will finally bring the series back to life with a new game. +1
  • New Donkey Kong Country game developed by Retro Studios (please don't try to include some gimmicky motion controls and ruin this). +1
  • New Mario sports game. -1
  • New Mario sports game kills a lot of potential games by including several sports! +1
  • LOTS of third party support for Nintendo 3DS. +1
  • Didn't see much third party support for Wii. -1
  • New game milking off the eager teets of fan boys by using the Goldeneye name (but not really looking like it has much to do with the original or looking like they spent much time on the graphics). -1

So, overall, more positives than negatives...
