Secret Hidden E3 Press Conference?

Today?... a secret hidden E3 press conference with some hidden and unrecognizable Nintendo reps produced some news that we were expecting, but hadn't heard up to this point? The news is as follows?:

• A new Kirby game will be released soon*?

So there you have it? Plenty of new news to keep us video gamers entertained? I wonder what this does to my bingo card...?

Well, would you look at that? It's all full? How exciting?! I guess you all owe me 12,000 points? What a good day for me? Don't you just love secret hidden E3 press conference 2009's? Me too?!

E3 Bingo Day 4

Friends, I ask you now to retrieve your pocketbooks. It is time to purchase Nintendo Points for benjamines. You see, this morning, Nintendo revealed even more new information. First, that Japan will be getting a black-colored Wii next year sometime. Second, Nintendo is making a new RPG franchise called Monado, and third, there is a new Chibi-Robo being made that will also be released next year. Therefore, I now have BINGO!!!

So, you have two choices: 1) Buy me Nintendo points now, 2) Wait and see if I get more bingo's later, or 3) don't do either. If you choose 1 or 2, thank you dear readers. If you choose 3, then I will go home and throw a tantrum. Choose wisely.

Here's hoping Mario Golf, Strong Bad, and Mario Party all make an appearance real soon...

E3 Bingo Day 3 UPDATE

So, after scouring the interwebs, I have stumbled across some new information. It's not super solid information, but it's good enough for me.

When asked about Trace Memory 2, Reggie Fils-Aime (President of Nintendo of America) said that E3 is simply not big enough to accomodate all of the games they are working on, but that some conferences in the fall would likely have information on that title. Awesome!

When asked about Pikmin 3, Shigeru Miyamoto said that they are working on it, although the team is small, so it may take some time yet. Boom!

So, although the games weren't shown in their full glory, they were mentioned at E3, so that counts, dangit. Not that it really helps my bingo card much. Oh well.

Alright, so stay tuned for the verdict on how many points you all owe me! (I love this job!*).

*I don't get paid for this (except when readers send Nintendo Points, which is never), so it's not really a job.

E3 Bingo Day 3

Well, not much has changed, but I did get one more square today. Specifically, the new 3D Picross currently in development. It's like regular picross, but it's in 3-D. Plus, it still has a level editor, so you can share levels with friends or people online. Should be amazing!

In any case, you kids sure as heck better hope Nintendo doesn't show New Play Control: Chibi-Robo, or else you're all going to owe me 2,000 Nintendo Points. As for me, I'm hoping it does show up. I needs more pointses!!

E3 Bingo Day 1 UPDATE

Turns out there were a couple more games I didn't catch until later. They are Ace Attorney Investigations, which stars Miles Edgeworth, and is more of an investigation game than it is a courtroom game. The other is the greatly anticipated and absolutely wet-pants worthy Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. They come out in November and August, respectively.

Look how close I am to TWO bingos! Here's hoping Nintendo forget to mention some more New Play Control or Chibi-Robo games!

E3 Bingo Update

Well, here's what we have so far. We're close on a couple of bingo's. To be honest, there probably aren't too many more boxes that will get filled. But, there are still a couple more days of shows and demos, so I guess we'll see. Come on, Chibi-Robo!

Nintendo's E3 Press Conference!

Well, it got over just a few minutes ago, but there plenty of new games to announce. Talk about loads of Mario!

First, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It's like New Super Mario Bros. DS, but you can play with four people at the same time! It comes out around Christmas!

Next, we have Mario vs. Donkey: Minis March Again. It's a DSi-ware downloadable title available THIS MONDAY!! You can create levels and upload them for others to play. I actually mentioned this in an older post, but didn't expect it to show up today.

Third, we have Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for the DS. It's the 3rd in the series and it comes out this fall! Wahoo!!

Fourth, and most importantly, is Super Mario Galaxy 2. You heard me right. Another Mario Galaxy! That's freaking amazing! There was no release date, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come out until next year.

Oh, and that's not all. The new Zelda (Spirit Tracks) comes out this year, there is a new Wii Fit coming out this fall, and there is a new Metroid Wii game in the works. Wow!

Oh, we're not done yet. Moving memo is on its way (it's an animation tool for the DSi), plus a new WarioWare that lets you make your own levels! How awesome is that?!

Lemme see if I missed anything... Oh! Wii Sports Resort, which has 10 games (including basketball, archery, and frisbee) comes out in July. There's a new Final Fantasy (Wii), a new Kingdom Hearts (DS), and a new Golden Sun (DS), all exclusives.

Also, they're making something called the "Wii Vitality Sensor." It's one of those things you put your fingers in and it tells you your blood pressure and what not. Should be interesting to see how that can be put to use. Trauma Center, anyone?

Also, I forgot to mention that the new TMNT: Smash-Up is scheduled for September 22nd. Hooray! Let's hope the TMNT IV remake makes it to Wii as well.

In any case, that's what we have so far. So far, I haven't quite gotten any bingos, but I'm really close. I'll update it with a picture shortly.

So yeah... GREAT NEWS!!!

E3 starts today!

Greetings, all! Today is the big day! Even though Microsoft had their press conference last night, the show we've all been waiting for officially starts today. Nintendo's press conference starts about 2 and a half hours from right now. So stay tuned and I'll try and update every now and again with news. Hoo-hah!

As for my bingo card, I have 1 mark so far. They officially announced the TMNT IV remake yesterday. The only problem is that they haven't said if it's for Wii or not. It was announced at the Microsoft press conference, so we know it's for Xbox 360. But then again, they didn't say it was exclusive, and I think it would be stupid of Konami to not make for the Wii (and I suppose, that other system out there). In any case, the TMNT remake falls in line with the free space on my bingo card, so I need there to be Professor Layton, a new Wii Fit, and more New Play Control games, and I get at least 1 BINGO. And that means 1,000 Nintendo Points from all of you! Man, life is good.
