E3 2010: Nintendo actually gets good games!
Nintendo, in no surprise to anyone outside of Nintendo, announced the 3DS. A DS. In 3D. Not only is that naff, it’s also amazingly interesting to see how the technology can be pushed, particularly when you look at moments like that level from iPad’s iteration of Flight Control which asks for 3D glasses to enjoy the game in a whole new way.
This is my 3DS. Do you want it? Yes,yes you do. Muahahaha!
Metal Gear from Konami, Kingdom Hearts from Square Enix, music stuff from Activision and Harmonix, Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft, Saints Row from THQ, and a new Resident Evil game from Capcom are among the many, many third party titles listed for the new device.
Indeed for the first time in years Nintendo have managed to impress with their show, actually bringing content gamers want as opposed to hardware kids and middle aged women want.
Not only that, Kid Icarus is coming to the console – a huge boost for the machine, even outside of Japan.
The 3.5″ screen will let you play games in the third dimension. 3D depth can be adjusted with a slider for those of us with trouble inputting photons without the aid of glasses. Online services will be free, and like the Wii, the device will be constantly connected to the cloud and take updates whether or not you’re using it. Gyro sensors inside will let developers take advantage of tilt mechanisms like the iPhone or SIXAXIS, and the grunt powering graphics has been improved – though Nintendo didn’t provide specs.
Actual third party support on a Ninty machine!
On top of huge third party support, a cool device and a lot of genuinely good technology to power the device, Nintendo also say that it’ll be able to play 3D movies, which undoubtedly made James Cameron wet himself in delight.
The Wii got some face time too, with some excellent software announcements. Donkey Kong returns in ‘Country Returns’ alongside a sequel to the party titles Wii Sports and Wii Resort, Mario Sports Mix… featuring Mario, unsurprisingly. Wii will also get The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, a long-awaited Zelda title on the console. Frankly the most exciting part software-wise, though, is a reason to dust off the old Wii. Yes, it’s the wonderful sequel to Goldeneye, featuring split screen multiplayer and the bathroom air vent kill.
Yes, for the first time in what feels like years, Nintendo actually did a good job at E3, impressing everyone with a display of software that’s worth buying. It took a few years, but owning a Wii since launch has finally paid off!
I resent the title of the post….
But yeah, I jizzed at New Zelda Trailer
Ok well it was miles better than the previous 2 years, but still heavily reliant on existing IP, was hoping to see more new IP. 3DS looks cool but no talk about price again, the DS I considered was always over priced in comparison to the PSP.
The title of this article is a sham. SHAME ON YOU.
Anyone know how to pre-order a Nintendo 3DS to ensure you get your hands on one?
