The Best & Worst Revelation Ever!

Checked out IGN today? No? Then get your butt over and read what was just confrimed! Pikmin for Wii IS coming! That's good news right? Not for Sony and Microsoft -- and I'll tell you why. Pikmin 3 being announced can only mean that there has to be a Kid Icarus Wii, etc out there. These are JUST the things Big N can use to shut the oposition down. These games are probally not too far into development, so don't expect them any time soon. But still I can't WAIT for the first footy from Pikmin 3. Say your prays, PS3 and XBOX 360!

E3 Review (Sort of)

I didn't see all of E3, but I did see Nintendo's brief. I was somewhat disappointed, I mean Wii Speak should shut some complainers up (:)), I'd love to get the new Animal Crossing, the Sports sequel looks interesting, and I'm happy that Wii is on top. But Pokemon Ranger sucked, and I DID NOT want a sequel period. And I was PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING for Kid Icarus, Pikmin, and Star Fox to come to Wii. Uhhh, I hate the suspension.



Microsoft I didn't see much of, but believe me I'm ticked that they're blowing smoke up our hineys. Do they really think that some trivia game and some virtual board game count as GOOD casual games? They sound like the lamest excuses for GAMES! I do like that the bird and bear are on their way back, but that just one good blockbuster casual game for Micy, Sony has 0, and the Big N has over 15!

I really think the problem with the three systems is that they are all off the deep ends of the caliber pool. Nintendos at the casual end, and Sony & Microsoft are fighting a seemingly losing battle with each other at the hardcore end. It's painful, but I think even with the hounds leashed Nintendo merely has to tell us what the dog's names are and then we can all watch Sony and Micy self destruct. The two delinqunts at the other end may have to swallow their pride and get some casual games on their systems, better yet EXCLUSIVE casual games should the hardcore stuff fail to produce profit. To prove my point, remember GTA 4, the one highly anticipated M game? According to IGN, PS3 and XBOX 360 sales haven't improved much since its release, shocking huhhhh? SSBB on the other hand, is a casual game and sold over 1m in its first week, and it also rapidly increased Wii sales!


Sony, I read that some people believe you won E3, but if Nintendo IS working on Kid Icarus Wii, Pikmin 3, SMG2, a new Zelda game, and that DS GTA game is a hit, Nintendo will have the war in the the bag. I belive they are working on something, and not to get cryptic but you'd better think of something - FAST!
