Hmm.

Slightly underwhelming if you think about it. Considering the frenzy that seemed to be building over the Wii, I was kind of expecting something very special, but we got some miscellaneous standard launch games (sports game, racing game, shooter, etc) and Nintendo's three big franchises. Considering that this seems to be Ninty's make or break console, it can't be a shock that Mario, Zelda and Metroid are being readied for launch. Metroid looks cool, I'll admit, but Zelda is Gamecube bound as well, and anyone who wasn't expecting the new Mario game to be unveiled at E3 is a dimwit. Sounds like there's a lot of RPGs bound for Wii, and that's always good news as far as I'm concerned.

I like the traditional pad for the Wii as well. It's like a SNES pad/Playstation pad/slice of Mighty White hybrid, and looks quite nifty. I bet that it will give Wii owners a sense of internal rivalry over their favoured controller. Traditional pad users will be seen as narrow minded traditionalists resistant to progress, and they themselves will retort with allegations that Wii stick users are fad-obsessed gimmick lovers. It'll be nice to see if it encourages some sense of community in Wii-ship.

Still, they certainly seem to have had by far the best showing. The 360 is starting to look more and more like the Dreamcast now - the 'too soon' launch, the fluffy marshmallow like appearance, the lack of games, the fact that it looks like it'll be slowly left for dust behind the later entries into the market. I'm sure Microsoft were hoping to get firmly established by the time the Wii and PS3 came out, but they've not got long to get it sorted now. Meanwhile, everyone I know is still playing on their PS2, GC and original X-Box.

From the sounds of it, there's been a bit of laurel-resting going on at Sony, too. That whopping price is going to be a bugger, and it was all a bit quiet on their side. Nice to see the PS3 pad isn't changing AT ALL, though, even if it makes them seem a bit half-arsed next to Nintendo. It'd be quite interesting to see if the usual two generations of market leading leads to another slump for the market leader, 'cause Sony seem to be a getting bit cocky in their ubiquity. They'll probably do something over the next few months to attempt to put the spotlight back on them, but their "it's Playstation, dammit! Of course they'll buy it!" attitude smacks of hubris to me. Of course, I was chuffed to see Final Fantasy XIII, but getting excited about that before I've had a chance to try out the new play mechanics introduced in XII would be a bit foolish.

So hooray for Nintendo. They 'won' the E3. However, considering the fact that no-one else looked like they were trying very hard, it's not really as earth shattering as all that.

For a laugh. I missed him and hit Steve-O in the face instead, which is one of the few things in life more satisfying than a blowie off a really fit bird with great hair.

No, not really. The more I think about the more of a superb starting line up it is.
And Mario and Metroid have not been confirmed for launch, incidently.

Red Steal looks great.
And Nintendos new IP's look very interesting.

It was well good. Although Steve-O had just nailed his scrotum to his leg and so probably wasn't that arsed at being his with a can. Still, it was a nice shot, albeit an accidental one.

When do you think the Europe release will be then, Spring or Summer 07?

Fantastic.

Nice shader effect on the planets.

Also, looks like the guys controlling it just fine
