Samus Struts One Last Time Before Release

Something Twisted This Way Comes

A PS3 game I can get behind (that isn’t Demon’s Souls):

Clearly very early (and kinda ugly) but assuming it’s, ultimately, anything like TM2, I’m sold.

Also: here’s the E3 teaser trailer (no gameplay):

3DS Images and Imaginings

EDIT: Just to clear this up, these are enlarged versions of much smaller images from Nintendo’s E3 press kit, so they look a little chunky/blown-out and are not representative of the actual display. (I’d have left them midget-sized, but then it’s really hard to see anything.)

This time of Nintendo-branded games:

PILOT WINGS

MARIO KART

PAPER MARIO

And the current, hot, rumor is Zelda: OOT for 3DS.

3PM Snapshots: 3DS Exposed

A Mouseric Epic?

Kirb(y) Ball: It’s 2D! On Wii!

Reggie! Hates Glasses

UPDATE: Siliconera kicks up some brief impressions:

There were five quick demos: Pikmin, New Super Mario Bros., Metroid, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Zelda. The Zelda screen was the most impressive. Particles that popped out of the screen were flying in the background and sparks flew off Link’s sword. In the New Super Mario Bros. demo the characters were in front of the background. When you turn the slider down the image becomes a regular 3D screenshot. In the Super Mario Galaxy 2 demo, I turned the depth to half which, as exepected, lowered 3D effect. The distance Yoshi leaped out of the screen was barely notciable at 3/4 down. I also tried tilting the 3DS and the image remained in 3D. It took a second to adjust, but it wasn’t laggy like Looksey’s Line Up. The slide pad was used to rotate the image.

Zelda: Awkwardly Narrated

Technical glitches aside, I want this bad, not because it’s a new Zelda (which is fine) but because of the Motion Plus sword-fighting, which is one of those ‘where have you been all my life’-type givemegivemegiveme moments.¹

^{1 For those that don’t know, a few games have hinted at how awesome this is going to be, but haven’t quite nailed it, e.g. Red Steel 2, Zangenki no Reginleiv, and the shockingly-fun WiiSports Resort sword fighting but I’m betting Zelda finally aces it.}

In Rare Form

I’m less¹ thrilled about this than Kid Icarus, but I bet this is bringing some pain to someone at Rare:
