According to an article over at Joystiq, one hardcore Nintendo franchise deftly eluded being revealed at Nintendo’s puppy and air-drum filled press conference the other day. The following words were uttered by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto (or at least his translator): “We’re making Pikmin.”
The Sony conference started with the type of hyperbole we have come to expect from the company. However, whenever the game were finally brought out, there was a lot to get excited about. This was, by and large, the best press conference of the show.
Nintendo’s press conference is over and many a gamer probably feel a little underwhelmed at this point. Many predictable announcements were made and some surprises were delivered, but the hardcore among us might find their plates a little empty in the coming months.
Nintendo has revealed a strange new intellectual property for the Nintendo Wii. The game is titled “Captain Rainbow” and features 2.5d fighting mechanics similar to what is found in the Viewtiful Joe series. In addition there are exploration segments that take place on an island populated by obscure Nintendo characters such as Birdo.
Rock Band 2 is a lot closer than one might think, yet information on what the game will offer has been somewhat inconclusive. Luckily, a recent press release from Electronic Arts and Harmonix has cleared up some ambiguity while continuing to leave room for some uncertainty. Certainly, all will be revealed at next week’s E3, but for now we will attempt to divulge what we know so far.
If you’re one of the gamers that is unsatisfied with the paltry selection of upcoming Guitar Hero games such as: Guitar Hero: World Tour, Guitar Hero: On Tour, and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, you are in luck. Activision has revealed their intention to release Guitar Hero: Metallica in fiscal ‘09.
As most of you have probably heard. Wii Fit had the audacity to call a young girl “fat.” While most gamers are rushing to Nintendo’s defense, I’ve decided it would make for a healthy discussion to play the devil’s advocate on this one. In this case, as in many others, the devil would be anyone with something negative to say about our favored medium.
It appears that Aerosmith songs will be appearing exclusively in Guitar Hero games - at least for now. This isn’t at all surprising with the upcoming release of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, but it is definitely a worrisome occurrence. We may be seeing the beginning of an exclusivity war between Activision and EA with regard to what bands appear in Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
