Erm.. Blog, I guess?
7th June 2011… Day of Nintendo’s E3 conference….

So.. Where to start I guess… Today was (as it says in the title) Nintendo’s big day to show off what they had in store for us. And to be fair, I think every fan got a lot more than what they was expecting! Including myself!! Here is my reactions blog!!

I’ll start with 3DS games. Which, with the reveals, it started pretty well!.. Well.. I say that… I took the chance to use the loo while Mario Kart was on…. But I did manage to see a hefty amount of awesome 3DS stuff coming our way!! The big highlight for me has to be the reveal of Tekken 3D! Although we only got treated to what seemed like just a few seconds of footage or Heihachi Mishima, it was enough to overload me with exitement! To the point I was fangasming… Badly!! There was other big 3DS titles such as: Mario 3D, Mario Kart (as mentioned earlier), Luigi’s Mansion 2, which was a shock in itself! I don’t think anyone see that coming! Also some StarFox 64 3D footage. That was a bonus for me, I been waiting for that for a long, long time!! Some little details about the game was also let out, for instance when you play in multiplayer, you can use the camera to record your facial expressions when being tailed, or owning the opponent!… And your opponent can see them… Also, the 3DS’s Gyro Scope can be used for a whole new motion take on the StarFox series! But, there wasn’t really any other 3DS games that tottaly grabbed my attention and I’m quite gutted that we didn’t get to see no BlazBlue or Sonic Generations footage, however we did get great news of a Super Smash Bros. game on the 3DS AND on the new Nintendo Wii-U!! 

So.. The Wii-U… When I first see it in action, I must say I was slightly disappointed… I thought it was going to be a family friendly console.. Although the graphical power was stunning!!!… Then Nintendo showed off games from third parties… That… Is when my dream came true… I wanted a hardcore Nintendo console and my God, I got it!! We saw games that we though we’d never see on a Nintendo console! We saw blood, guns, swords, fighting, the lot, all in glorious HD graphics, on Nintendo’s new system! My main highlights of games shown was Ninja Gaiden 3 (the game that will get you beating yourself over the head with the controller),  Assassins Creed and of course, I can’t go without mentioning… Tekken on the Wii-U!! Wow… I was mind blown and still can’t get over the initial shock at this moment! As I mentioned earlier, we are getting a Tekken on the 3DS! And now a console version to accompany that! And the controller is pretty awesome when it comes to Tekken on the Wii-U! The fact that it has a built in 6.5Inch touchscreen meant that it takes character customisation on Tekken to a whole new level, to the point that you can draw whatever you want onto your characters!! It was quite simply… Amazing!  And I imagine the touch screen will be used greatly in the future for, say, item selections in a Zelda game or even a Monster Hunter! Either way, the future is bright for Nintendo fans!! Begin rejoicing…. NOW!!!

And to think this is only the start of Nintendo’s new gaming revolutions! We still have plenty more awesome games to come to both the 3DS and the Wii-U! This year was by far the best year for Nintendo and their loyal gamers, at E3!! Microsoft and Sony must be quaking in their boots!! And with Ocarina of Time 3D out next Friday (17th June), I will have plenty to keep me busy!!

And I shall end on that note! I hope you enjoyed my E3 reactions blog! 

This is Ricky, signing out!!
