E3 2010: Motion Controlled Edition

[Nat Tea]

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm kind of getting sick of handhelds basically just being yesteryear's console titles reported with inferior resolution and controls.

Man, remember during the good old days when they came out with new games that implemented new ideas that were always there but we never actually thought about, like those riddles that have complex descriptions and an answer that's very simple yet encompasses a lot?

Oh man!

Wait.

[Bananamatic]

It's E3 right now, I'm just not feeling the excitement. Maybe I need to actually know what's cool in gaming.

same here

1) no way I can afford it
2) the improvement is just in graphics. I don't give a shit about 3D, I just want a game which is balanced, fun, and playable


also lol kingdom hearts
no proper game in ages, just handheld rushed sidegames with buttonmashy gameplay hoping to feed off the fanboys

In the Gameboy age?  Fuck yeah.  Games were original because the hardware was nowhere near as powerful as home consoles, and thus there was no room for ports except for the simplest of titles.  With the GBA is when the trend really started reversing and it just ended up being a bunch of reports of yesteryear titles.

Now it's all about NEW AGE GRAPHICS ON OLD RETRO GAMES.

Gosh, we're old. and cynical.

What the heck is with SFIV: THE 3D EDITION :V

Anyway, the new Kirby game looks really nice, but I didn't see Kirby acquire any abilities :<
Unless that little Kirbycar was Wheel and the UFO ability is a lot different now :S

[helvetica]

Oh fuck yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

EDIT: oh god it's an MMOFPS yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Bananamatic]

But is it in 3D?

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

Apparently the paper mario title is a new game in the series that's an RPG.
i'm sold.

no way in hell I'll be able to afford this stuff, though.  :ohdear:

[Fruggles]

YES GOLDEN SUN!
Kirby looks really fun, though it looks like he won't have a sucking ability, but can still transform.
I really hope that was really interference during the Zelda demo, which it looks like it was, because the video after the demo looked much more smooth.
I'm still hesitant on the Metroid game as it looks like the 3rd person part will be extremely fast paced.
Yay a DK game~
Much more yay for a Kid Icarus game.... in 3D!
The 3DS will be amazing, end story.
Nintendo had a great lineup this year, with many game. All I'm wondering is, unless I missed it, they never said the realease date for the 3DS...
Ugh, I'm going to have to wait really get some money this year.

You need to play different handheld games then.

Terribly creative, I know.

Holy crap those games ASDFGH

[Edible]

Persona 3DS and SRW 3DS.

Yep... I'm hosed.

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Is it just me or does the new Kirby game look... kind of disappointing? :x I guess I haven't really seen enough of it to make a final decision, but it seems like it's going to turn out to be a gimmicky spinoff ie Canvas Curse. Oh well.

[theshirn]

Persona 3DS

[JT]

DKC reboot! Kirby! Kid Icarus! New Metroid and Golden Sun footage! OH GOD THAT LIST OF 3DS GAMES FUCK

Jesus Christ Nintendo. Stop it. I'm excited enough already, stop announcing shit. Shut the fuck up before I have a heart attack.

[Ghaleon]

Really new originality in games is pretty overrated at this point IMO. It's very hard to come up with something completely new without using some new hardware gimmick or whatever. I think games can be fun or whatever without having some amazing new concept. Golden sun is a good example IMO. The most original thing they have in that game is the ability to summon spells at the cost of your stats temporarily, which is quite honestly not exactly major or groundbreaking, and hardly what makes the game.

I too AM tired of handheld games having an inordinate amount of games meant to be on a TV console dumbed down though. But handhelds still have plenty of great titles themselves, and most of them give you the same golden age of gaming feeling you did back in the gold old SNES days.

But anyway, HOLY SHIT KID ICARUS!?!? I thought I was the only person on the planet that remembered that one! I *STILL* have nightmares about those damn eggplant men in 3-4!

WHY DID I HAVE TO BUY MY DSi?

I actually wonder, if the 3DS games can be also played without 3D, can you play 3DS games on older DS systems?

Spoiler:

50 dollars if the answer is "No".

Of course not.  The 3DS has a much more powerful processor/GPU than the DS.

This is starting to seriously irritate me.  Peace Walker would be fantastic if the limited PSP controls weren't so fucking awful.

Backwards compatibility is dull edge technology.

Yesssss. It's just that if they make it for the handheld, they should make it feel like it's a handheld game and also implement more things that you wanted to put into the game when you were a kid.

Of course, I'm terrible because I actually compared the DS to the Atari because of the massive pile of shovelware and the lack of Nintendo's seal of approval.

Just as I thought. Now I can wait many years until I get enough money for a 3DS and basically every game Atlus will release for it...

[theshirn]

Welp, my DS's L button is breaking anyway.  Assuming I get a friggin' job, I know what at least one of my purchases is going to be.

(Another is a hexacore processor...mmm, hexacore.)

[Edible]

I'm not a big fan of any of this motion control stuff, but Sony's does appear to blow its competitors outta the water.

(Also... a Sly Cooper/Ratchet & Clank/Jak & Daxter crossover... jesus.)

[Barrakketh]

Hah!  You think Atlus is going to print enough copies for you to either a) find new ones years after the fact, or b) have used copies at a reasonable price?

I saw Digital Devil Saga 2 a few days ago. New. So Yeah.

[Suikama]

Okami for DS

They printed more copies of DDS2 than they did of DDS1.  Seriously.

Unfortunately none of the games look to have done anything interesting with it.
...I'm sure it could do something, but damn.

Also this conference has given me no enthusiasm for Sony.  Except Little Big Planet 2 being sort of awesome but I already knew about everything (Was just waiting for actual video)

[Suikama]

Wait, SSF4 for 3DS!?

Damn I've been waiting for a decent handheld fighter for ages (that's not for PSP )
