HILARIOUS VIDEO: The Halo 3 Special Edition 360! *Crickets*
What if Microsoft announced a repainted 360 and nobody cared?
COMPLETELY STUPI... HEY WAIT, LET ME SEE THAT: Wii Party Station
Holds your Remotes, your drinks, your chips & dip, has LCD scoreboards for tracking wins, and a built-in fan for airing your sweaty palms. For serious.
SAVE THE DAY: Smash Bros. Brawl December 3.
Should I put in for the day off work, or the week off work?
JESUS, THEM TOO?: Nintendo calls Mario Galaxy the true successor to Mario 64
This is an all-time low for poor misbegotten Mario Sunshine. Now even Nintendo itself hates on Sunshine.
NO GOOFY MOTIONS ON THESE GAMES: The Wii Zapper (Final Name Pending)
The least violent system gets the most violent-looking accessory.
DON'T EVEN ARGUE WITH ME ON THIS ONE: Mario Party DS revealed
Is it online? Is it online? IS IT ONLINE?!
WHO MIXED UP THE SLIDE ORDER?: Nintendo's final E3 presentation is a goddamn exercise game
They tease Miyamoto's appearance as the big finale to the speech, and all he has is this lame-ass-whatever Wii Fit thing? So I can do fucking push-ups? That's fine and all, but not as a speech-ender. How about Starfox? Pikmin 3? Animal Crossing? No no. Push-ups.
FINE, FINE, I WANT ONE: Between Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Rock Band, MGS4, Heavenly Sword, GTA4, and the new Ratchet & Clank game, I'm becoming totally keen on the '3.
O RLY?: Metal Gear Solid 4 Is PS3 Exclusive - Last In Series
I don't know which claim will be busted first: that MGS4 will stay a PS3 exclusive, or that MGS4 will be the last Metal Gear game.
BEST COMMENT: So I'm watching Kotaku's coverage of the PS3 keynote and I thought I'd jump in to the spammy comment thread with an hilarious "WHERE'S THE FITNESS GAME?!?!!" Two seconds later somebody retorts "your mom's my fitness game."
ADDITIONAL: Here's a picture of that absurd Nyko Party Station thing (found at Gizmodo).
Just like the Elite, people will buy the Halo 3 SKU even though they already own a Premium version.
Mario Party DS best have WiFi are I'm not buying it.
WiiFit will help Nintendo continue to grow the industry by selling to new gamers instead of us old, grumpy, sequeliest "hardcode" gamers. Trust me, WiiFit was a great move by Nintendo. We may or may not like it, but the John Doe family of Iowa who have never owned a home console in their life will buy a Wii because of it. And that is the growth this industry needs.
For years the big 3 have been chasing each others tails trying to grab the largest piece of the core gamer market share pie. No one but Nintendo took the risks necessary to grow that pie.
I don't mind that it exists, and I get that WiiFit has the potential to be another Wii Sports growth-generator... I just think it was a craptacular fakeout for this year's E3. Shiggy flew into town for that?!
