The Gametrailers guys are obviously not very good at classic MegaMan games. This is what these videos have told me. Also, MegaMan 9's music is good.

That's seriously all you need to know so far, everything has just been "RECAP + TIDBITS OF INFO" on the already announced games...

Nintendo's press confrence (and, in fact, all of their E3 showing so far) seems to be a major fucking letdown.

Just wait until the last day, when it's rumored that REGGIE FILS-AIME WILL JUMP ONTO THE STAGE AND OPEN HIS MASSIVE HEAD TO REVEAL A BAZOOKA WHICH WILL BLAST AWAY A WALL TO REVEAL A JUMBOTRON MONITOR SHOWING "MARIO AND LINK: THE SONIC CHRONICLES"!#!@#@#$#$%%^%

...erm, sorry. Fly on the keyboard. *swat*

I pretty much thought it wasn't to bad. The new Wii Sports and Animal Crossing both look fun. Especially sword fighting in Wii Sports.

I cannot express how amazed I am by the fact they're doing something obvious.

Yawn.

Good news and bad news from Dead Rising for the Wii.

The game's going to be a bit easier since it was rough for casual gamers to deal with dying a lot before they could have proceeded with the story. I hope they give you a choice in difficulty.

The camera's been changed to that of a Resident Evil 4 camera system. Because of the camera system, photo mode won't be in. Seems like they just can't get it to work (No doubt due to time constraints. Bah.)

Press the A button for a normal attack, and swing the Wiimote for a heavy attack (the differences are like those in a fighting game).

Oh, and Otis won't be calling you at odd times regarding someone needing saving. That's been changed to sub missions to do before the main story continues on.

I'm rather iffy about the lack of photography. It was kinda fun taking pictures at those odd times just to get extra experience. And I know lots of photographer types liked this game because of that aspect. They probably covered wars, you know.

Oh, Dead Rising made the cover of the latest Nintendo Power.

Actually... so did...

Sonic and the Black Knight.

One, why wasn't this at E3... two, why does Sonic have a sword?

Five bucks says he enters a time portal and is stuck in the medieval times.

I can just see the scene at Sega HQ now...

"Alright, that whole hedgehogs-with-guns game didn't exactly work out... anyone have any better ideas?"

"We could make the game based off of speed and not throw in bad extra ideas that change the gameplay?"

"Bah, no one will buy that crap, you're fired! Anyone else?"

"Instead of guns, why not go with swords?"

"Genius! Somebody give me a raise!"

	I just can't believe that zero new games with Mario as a playable character are scheduled for the rest of the year... Amazing! Not counting Mario Super Sluggers since it's already out in Japan, or ports/etc. ____________________

They did that once or twice.

It sucked.

(Speed is not the essence of Sonic. The best games in the series let you run full-tilt... only occasionally. The rest of the time, you're being more cautious and dealing with spikes and enemies and finding secret passages.)

"based off of speed" does not mean "relies only on speed".

I, for one, would rather see a rerelease of S3&K done right.

I actually liked Sonic Advance 2, though
