Well, guess which version of Guitar Hero 3 has sold the most. Yes, the Wii version. Thank goodness downgraded technology is selling, ah yes, free market, thank you! (-_-) lame
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.
Cost: $54 (most places; I found mine for $34)
Interface: Wireless via USB
Platform: Playstation 3 (Works on PC, Mac and Wii (no trackpad on Wii))
The Logitech Cordless MediaBoard for Playstation 3 is an all-in-one Keyboard and Mouse. It says that it is for Playstation 3, but I have tested it on a PC and it worked perfectly without any driver installation. To be more specific, I built a new system and used it to setup my BIOS settings for the first time, then to install the operating system.
Play Time: ~ 4 hours
Progress: All gold in 50cc cups, half of the golds in 100cc
Well. Mario Kart is always one of the most anticipated releases on new Nintendo consoles. Everyone always waits for the Zelda game, the Mario game, the Smash Bros. game, and then the Mario Kart game. Mario Kart DS was arguably one of, if not the, best game in the series’ past . It had nice new karts, both cool new and old tracks, and a couple new item changes to keep you on your toes. Mario Kart Wii surely introduces a ton of new things: sweet new characters, the use of motorcycles, some awesome unlockable karts, and a full set of new courses with the option of choosing some of the greatest from the past. But, is this alone enough to make this game the best Mario Kart ever?
New screens have emerged today of what may be the next Sonic game. Both the resolution and the general quality seem to point to the game being on either the 360 or PS3, but SEGA loves Nintendo, so some sort of similar Sonic game can essentially be assured. There are screens both from cinematics and supposed in-game play, and the difference between the two should be obvious. I’m looking forward to this game already, it looks like (if they’re real) SEGA’s trying to get Sonic back to his old awesome as opposed to the loading and bug laden last Sonic games.

Edit: A video from the Xbox 360 version of the game has been leaked! The screens are apparently from the 360 version as well. You can watch the after the jump:
Edit 2: Confirmed! Sonic Unleashed was officially accounced by SEGA to be on its way to Wii, 360, PS3, and PS2 this year.
Play Time: much more than 30 hours
Progress: All charcters and stages unlocked
You’ve been waiting for this game ever since you finished unlocking Mr. Game & Watch in Melee. You’ve yearned to once again feel the excitement of unclocking a host of new, amazing characters and stages. Nintendo has delayed this game twice already, great to the chagrin of the gaming world. Is it worth the wait? Well, we’ve been playing it for a month, so here’s our spoiler-free views on this year’s most anticipated Wii game.
