There were some surprising revelations at Nintendo’s E3 press conference today with some new key titles revealed.
Whilst speculation was rife regarding what the ultra-secretive Nintendo would announce I can now confirm that New Super Mario Brothers Wii and Wii Fit Plus were revealed, though to a thoroughly non-responsive crowd.
The overall atmosphere thankfully changed for the better as Nintendo causally left the best for last by announcing the sublime Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the frankly awesome looking Super Metroid: Other M. Both of these fresh, exclusive Wii titles took the audience by storm creating a buzz that reverberated throughout the entire conference hall.
I was hoping for Zelda and a big new IP. Oh wells.
It started off rather dire but picked up immediately after Super Mario Galaxy 2 was announced. Everyone was hoping for a new Zelda title but alas it never happened.
Everything that was announced/shown:
New Super Mario Bros – Wii
Wii fit Plus – Wii
Wii Sports Resort – Wii
Wii MotionPlus – Wii
Tiger Woods 2010 – Wii
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story – DS
Golden Sun – DS
Women’s Murder Club: Games of Passion – DS
Cop: The Recruit – DS
Girls Mode – DS
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again – DS
Wii Vitality Sensor – Wii
Super Mario Galaxy 2 – Wii
The Conduit – Wii
Dead Space Extraction – Wii
Metroid: Other M – Wii
but isn’t it possible for Nintendo to still announce new items up until Friday? A lot of companies like to wait until later to reveal big stuff to get a larger reaction.
I’m doubtful but it’d be great to hear some additional announcements. Shame the majority of major titles won’t be released until 2010 :(
agreed. :/
