Well, I’ve probably already lost all my credibility by reviewing a Pokemon game, but because of the bad TV show, people who play Pokemon games are branded as immature children. What most people don’t understand is that the main Pokemon games are actually well-crafted RPGs. However, does this peripheral installment in the best selling RPG series of all time live up to the standard set before it?

Thought that this game was cool enough to include a couple of screen-grabs of. We will still be reviewing the E3 Conferences, but we’re going to wait until after the Sony conference to pass judgement. For now, enjoy the awesomeness that is Metroid developed by Team Ninja (click all pics to enlarge, they’re not the best quality ’cause they’re grabs from the trailer):
Added GDC 2010 screenshots and art at bottom of page after the jump (the images are high-resolution, so give them a second to load).

Star Wars is a fickle mistress. She makes you feel loved and good about yourself with movies like Episodes IV – VI and then when you think the wonderful relationship is over, wait! There’s hope with Episodes I – III, but promises of more prove just to be further evidence that the relationship is tired and done. It’s not that different in the game world, there are signs, mere hints that the relationship could be great with games like Rogue Squadron (next-gen follow up, please!), Knights of the Old Republic and yes, OK maybe even Lego Star Wars. But then there’s so much heart ache with the multitude of bad games that make you wonder what you’re still in it for. Well, which of the two categories does Force Unleashed fall into? Surprisingly, a bit of both.

Well, after a terrible E3 this year, Nintendo set out to redeem themselves with this year’s Nintendo Media Summit. Did they succeed? OH HELLS YEAH!
Well, first off on the list of awesome is: The Nintendo DSi.
It may look a lot like a DS lite, but there are a plethora of key differences (wording courtesy of GoNintendo, ’cause I’m tired :P):
- 12%, 2.6 millimeters skinnier, no more GBA slot
- bigger screens, better speakers, two cameras
- screens are 3.25 inches
- camera and audio functions
- pictures taken can be able to be manipulated via touch screens
- pitch and sound playback speed can be adjusted
- SD card slot
- store then view pics on Wii Photo Channel
- internal memory for apps
- built-in web browser
- download DSi Ware with Nintendo Points (Wii points renamed)
- apps will cost free/200/500/800 points.
- owners that connect by March, 2010 will receive 1000 Points as a gift. (Japan)
- Hits Japan on Nov 1st for 18900 yen
- DS Station will go into its second phase, becoming the Nintendo Zone service.
- service once again available at McDonalds
- Nintendo Zone Viewer included, no setup needed
- colors: white and frosted black
- 6-9 hours of battery life on medium setting
- the ability to download new apps and have them as “channels” in the main menu
- GameBoy camera-like stuff for the cameras
Lots of Wii and regular DS news as well, but we’ll leave that for morning.

Well, Nintendo’s had their kick at the E3 cat. How many of my predictions came true? Did Nintendo give me an early Christmas present by addressing any of my Pipe Dreams? Once again in the Kodak theatre, Nintendo had a huge venue from which they could unravel their magic upon a very ready and very large crowd of the press. Read on to find out whether they used their powers, or just left us by the wayside while they went off on a gaming tangent again.

This is Wish Bear
Well, E3 is once again upon us, and Microsoft had a pretty good showing today, so tomorrow morning it will be up to both Nintendo and Sony to strut their respective stuffs. Thus, it is as good a time as any to make some predictions before everything starts happening tomorrow. There have been very few rumours floating around before this E3, which is quite unusual. This could either mean that big things are afoot, or that nothing much will be happening at all. GoNintendo says that Iwatadono will be making an appearance this year, and that usually spells that something big is in the cards. Here are my predictions/hopes split into two categories: Predictions and Pipe Dreams.
