Nintendo’s E3 Keynote Rundown

Nintendo has done their bit for E3 now. Nothing massive to be honest, feels like they got of got a bit whooped by Microsoft really. But here’s the list of what went down!

Super Mario Brothers Wii
Using the same style graphics/gameplay as Super Mario Brothers did on the DS, but now four player local co-op on the Wii. Play as one of your favorite good guys on screen at the same time with 3 other friends.

Wii Fit Plus
The next evolution in the Wii Fit franchise allows you to be your own trainer but letting you set your own custom training activity sets; you don’t need to follow a pre-determined training exercise now. New game features such as Juggling, skateboarding and Perfect Ten that is supposed to be “Brain Age for your backside”. Also, new running course that will make you feel like you’re Mario. No new board is needed but will be sold with and without one.

Wii Motion Plus
Talk on the new peripheral from Nintendo; showing off a video for Wii Sports Resort for precision controlled games. All movement in these games is 1:1 relevant to the controller now. Games such as Tiger Woods, Grand Slam Tennis, Virtua Tennis will be able to use the Motion Plus, and Red Steal 2 you will have to use a Motion Plus to play.

Facebook photo upload for DSi
The DSi will, this summer, allow you to upload photos to Facebook direct from the DSi.

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Mini’s March Again (DS)
The new title will allow gamers to create their own levels as well as upload and share them. 

Wario Ware DIY (DS)
Make your own mini-games (in classic Wario style) from scratch 

Wii Vitality Sensor
Just a peak at a new peripheral in development  that will take your plus and use it on Wii titles. More of a developer sale at the idea of games detecting how fearful you are or how relaxed you are and change the game accordingly.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
The direct sequel to Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, this second outing sees him teaming up with Yoshi to go galaxy traveling (with a flying Yoshi mind you!).

Metroid: Other M (Wii)
A new, dark Metroid  sees Shamus talking and fighting off the aliens in a fast pasted action shooter adventure in this Team Ninja Wii exclusive.

Other titles
- The Conduit [Wii exclusive FPS, out next month] 
- Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles [on rails shooter much like Umbrella Chronicles] 
- Dead Space: Extraction [looking like a on rails shooter]
- Cop: The Recruit [3D GTA-esq game for the DS]
- Style Savvy [social gaming for girls or boys who like that type of thing]
- James Patterson’s Games of Passion [interactive novel-esq game for new gamers or readers]
