So, Nintendo is trying to get to the hardcore gamers! New Super Mario Bros Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Metroid: Other M were all announced at their press conference. Other M is probably the biggest shock, since Team Ninja is behind it! Team Ninja + Nintendo = Win, right? I'll definitely keep my eyes on that one. Kingdom Hearts is coming out in September, that's good news. I have to watch the conference from start to finish so I can see what else they announced.
Sony did a better job this year. With Uncharted 2, God of War III, and The Last Guardian, I think Sony has sold the PS3 to me. And, are you kidding me, FF XIII and XIV in one year? Unfortunately, XIV's a online game, just like XI, but it was a good announcement for Sony. It was also good to see a XIII trailer. It looks like Kojima didn't completely screw Sony as Metal Gear Solid: Rising is still coming to PS3. Also, MGS: Peace Walker is an exclusive for PSP. It looks pretty good, though, I'm not the biggest MGS fan. Oh, how could I forget the PS3 wands? They connect with the Playstation Eye and they seem to work well. It looks like gaming's future is motion now. The Wii started it, 360 and PS3 are perfecting it.
Overall, IMO, Microsoft still won out of the three press conferences. Sony is a close 2nd and Nintendo a distant last. Maybe with all the world premieres, I don't know, but Microsoft has made me even happier that I own a 360. Sony has persuaded me, with the The Last Guardian and God of War 3, to finally dish out the money for a 360, and Nintendo, with SMG2 and M:OM, has convinced me that more hardcore games are on the way. I wonder what else Square-Enix has up their sleeve? Capcom's game must have been RE on the PSP, since it has never been on the console. SE has announced FFXIV and Front Mission, so what's left? Any footage from Dragon Quest IX or X or is there something else I'm missing?
So I guess there is another Zelda for Wii, but we can't see pictures of it. Dang it. At least Nintendo has three big titles coming out all next year. Can't wait to get home so I can look up some games.
