With E3 less than a week away, and all
the major game news sites buzzing with anticipation over what new
surprises wait in store. I decided it would be fun to write my idea
of a perfect E3 keynote from my favorite major video game hardware
company ever. Nintendo!
Nintendo's E3 Keynote presentation
starts off with announcing new 3DS titles. Of course titles already
mentioned will be talked about. Luigi's Mansion 2,Castlevania: Lords
of Shadow, New Super Mario Bros. 2, etc. In addition to Pokemon
Black 2 and White 2 the Re-make companion games for this generation
of Pokemon games will be Pokemon Land Ruby and Ocean Sapphire
exclusively for the 3DS. On-board Poke-walker functionality will be
included thanks to the built-in pedometer and street-pass features on
the 3DS. A teaser trailer for the new Legend of Zelda game in works
is shown. Not much about game play or how far along they are in the
development is mentioned. Just a small clip of Toon Link Barreling
out of the 3DS screen with moblins chasing after him. Once talks
about the already established 3DS going strong into it's second year
of life and the new software that will be coming to it is over,
Reggie Fils-Aime hands the Mic over to Satoru Iwata and Shigeru
Miyamoto as they begin to talk about Nintendo's console for the
future. Iwata talks about how last year he mentioned that with the
Wii U they hoped to give an experience that is deeper and wider. And
so to appeal to more fans they decided to add the color black as an
option for the console from launch. A new surprise feature is shown
in the form of a DS card slot right next to the SD card slot in the
door on the front of the console is shown allowing you to play your
hand-held titles on your TV just like you could with the Gameboy
Player and Super Gameboy of yore. The robust library of classic games
and download-able software available via the Nintendo E-Shop is
shown, as well as details on the Nintendo Network including voice and
video chatting with the new controller. Gabe Newell of Valve is
brought on-stage to talk about Nintendo's partnering with Steam so
even more titles especially enhanced ports of both Portal games will
be available from day one. Finally the meat and potatoes of already
announced launch titles as well as Pikmin 3, and a new F-Zero and
Starfox game are announced to uproarious applause and cheers.
Nintendo asserts itself as the forerunners of the 8th
generation of video games and Sony and Microsoft mutually pee
themselves.
