E3 2010 Day 2

Once again, more highlights from the conferences, which consisted of Nintendo and Sony.

Nintendo: Welcome back, old friend. Nintendo ripped back to life with HUGE announcements, nearly all of them for the hardcore gamer about to sell thier Wii away. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was unveiled, and apart from techinical difficulties, it looks brilliant. Followed by a Mario Sports game and Golden Sun DS, it looked like the excitement had ended. That's when Nintendo kicked it into high gear, unveiling a reimagening of the N64 Classic: Goldeneye 007, exclusively for Wii, as well as Epic Mickey, a new Kirby game, Metroid: Other M, AND a new Donkey Kong game. Tie in the new 3DS (complete with an analog stick!), which will feature a new Kid Icarus game as well as remakes of classics ranging from Mario Kart to Metal Gear Solid 3 to the incredible, unfathomable Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (WOW!!!!), and The Big N wins the day, wins the publisher battle, and wins the WHOLE DAMN E3. Period.

Sony: Believe it, Sony is the real deal. Sony is slowly gnawing off the legs of the high horse upon which Microsoft sits. With big, EXCLUSIVE titles, Sony bumped it up with Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet 2 and a brand new Twisted Metal game, as well as exclusive deals with some big EA games like Dead Space 2. Move was shown off briefly, and it looks and is priced terrific, with a spellcasting game Sorcery and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011. Made we want to actually buy a sports game. Too bad can't use Move controller as penis for secret lovers during game though. Sad. Kevin Butler also hilariously took the stage, but even he couldn't top the unbelievable: PORTAL 2 ON PS3. Let me repeat that, just so you know it's real: PORTAL 2 ON PS3!!! IMO, it's a good move. I could give a shit about exclusives, and Valve's doing the smart thing here. This conference made me want to buy both a PS3 and a Move in one fell swoop. Well done, Sony, well done.

Check back tomorrow for my wrap-up, where I name the winners and losers of E3. It's gonna be sooooooooo damn ZANY!!! ALSO, VOTE IN THE POLL AND COMMENT! :D
