E3 ’10: Nintendo 3DS Details

June 15, 2010 | Justin Moody | Uncategorized

It became clear why Nintendo decided to extend its usual conference to two whole hours. The first-half was devoted to Wii and DS software and numbers to please shareholders, while the second-half was all about Nintendo’s next big handheld, the 3DS.

Sporting a design similar to a DSi, the 3DS is the new and true successor to the DS line of handhelds. The biggest element of the 3DS are the 3D capabilities that don’t depend on glasses. Just you, the handheld and the games, impressions on the 3D functionality are unanimously positive. It’s working and apparently, it’s kind of really awesome. It’s also completely optional, as it comes with a 3D slider that lets you adjust just how 3D you want it to be.

E3 ’10: Kid Icarus Uprising Announced

June 15, 2010 | Justin Moody | Uncategorized

Let’s be real: Nintendo’s conference was relentless. Announcement after announcement. Live demo after live demo. Now? Now a Kid Icarus game launching on the 3DS? After two years of messing around and showing off how rich they were, Nintendo came the realization that people who aren’t their shareholders also give a damn about E3.

Kid Icarus finally returns and it looks like the 3DS looks like a technically capable system. Judging by the Kid Icarus trailer, it looks like it’s sitting somewhere between the DS and PSP, which is kind of a shocker, considering it’ll have to 3D it all.

E3 ’10: Epic Mickey Gameplay

June 15, 2010 | Justin Moody | Uncategorized

Epic Mickey got a nice slice of time during Nintendo’s conference and wow. Everything that’s been previewed and shown before is shown in action — erasing, drawing in. This is a completely obsessed love letter to Mickey Mouse. Warren Spector’s known for his love for the mouse, and except for a some heavy-handed teleprompter readings aside, you can tell, this guy loves Mickey Mouse.

The game’s sporting an energetic look and the whole “choose your moral standing”ish feature the game has sounds like it’ll gel with what Epic Mickey is trying to be, which is to make an epic game about mickey. It doesn’t sound like Epic Mickey isn’t a placeholder title and now that totally seems appropriate.

E3 ’10: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Announced

June 15, 2010 | Justin Moody | Uncategorized

The first true Zelda title built from the ground-up for the Wii was the first thing that came up on screen during Nintendo’s press conference today. A surprising move, considering Nintendo just loved talking about numbers for the last two years. Wii MotionPlus is in full use here, as it’s being used for a ton of actions in the game, from bomb-bowling to the expected sword swinging.

It’s abandoned the Twilight Princess look and has opted for something akin to Wind Waker, which from what I’m seeing, looks like the smart choice. It’s a shame the live demonstration completely flubbed, but with a 2011 release date, it’s going to be a long road for Skyward Sword. Oh dear, it took me this long to tell you what the subtitle was. Well, it’s Skyward Sword. Nice name.
