Electronic Entertainment Expo 2008 – Part II
So yesterday we talked about Microsoft’s E3 Conference. I have been up all night talking about all the new bits of information we were given, the new videos and I am still buzzing with excitement over the major games I listed over in that article!
But I digress.. yesterday was Microsoft’s day. Today we are going to tear apart the Nintendo E3 Conference!
I want to pre-warn everyone before they continue. The Nintendo conference was absolutely awful. There were so many moments while watching that I physically cringed and felt genuinely embarrassed for the people on stage. As the conference went on it only got worse and worse until the sheer embarrassing behaviour peaked in a climactic ending where… Well, you’ll see.
NINTENDO
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Our for the Nintendo Wii later this year. This is basically the next step up in the Animal Crossing life. Still insanely cute, insanely repetitive, but this would be one of the few games I would buy if I owned a Nintendo Wii. The added bonus is the Wii Talk implementation – Which you people can come to your town and you can.. well.. talk to them!
Shawn White Snowboarding
Our for the Nintendo Wii later this year. I’ve got absolutely no idea who this Shaun White person is. I’m guessing he is the Tony Hawk of the snowboarding scene, right? Anyway, he brings his game to the Wii with balance board functionality.. Which still looks like bathroom scales to me.
Star Wars: Clone Wars
Another game for the Nintendo Wii, set for release later this tear. I’m not a Star Wars fan (Trekkie through ‘n through) so this, to me, just seems like a generic Star Wars game that looks exactly like the last one. Feel free to moan at me for knowing nothing about the previous Star Wars games, I really don’t care.
Wii Sports Resort
Set for release Spring 2009 for the Nintendo Wii. This is a new motion game that uses the previously the new Motion Plus accessory (an accessory for the Wii Remote. The add-on attaches to the bottom of the Wii-mote and more accurately traces motions in 3-D space by better orienting the controller). This accessory comes with Wii Resort. The game includes Disc Dog, Jet Ski and Sword Fighting.
Extra “lolz” for the sexual tension between those three on stage – “Bad wrist action” and “You really like that throttle, don’t you Reggie?”
Other Announcements:
- Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades: Set for release, this fall, on the Nintendo DS! Yet another GH game. We all know what the GH series is about so this really needs no explanation at all, does it?
- Pokemon Rangers: Shadow of Alma: Out November 8th 2008 on the Nintendo DS. My Pokemans, let me show you them.
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars: GTA on the DS – Something I can actually get excited about! Not 100% sure on the release date, but this does look mighty spiffy. I look forward to getting back into Liberty City!
- Cooking Navi: An English version of the popular Japanese interactive cooking guide. Coming this year to the Nintedo DS. It’s basically a cook book for your DS. I’d rather use the Internet.
- Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party: I miss the days when Rayman was cool. A Nintendo Wii game set for release Late 2008.
- Call of Duty: World at War: Co-op FPS for the Nintendo Wii, coming later this year. I do love me some CoD, but I wont personally be getting this for the Wii. I’ve got a bigger and badder console to be playing this baby on!
The Climactic Ending – Wii Music
Prepare yourself for the BAD.
I’m going to let the two videos speak for themselves on that one. All I want to say here is..

Stay tuned for the final E3 Conference post – Sony!






ROFL!!! are they serious? did anyone else think the standing barefoot on stage (snowboarding game) was simply disgusting?
I couldnt even finish watching the animal crossing video I about fell asleep..
“I’m going to let the two videos speak for themselves on that one…” Wow that was so funny I was crying.. I feel embarassed for these ppl shame on Wii! They need to fire them all and get some new employees from this website
Sorry you lost sleep to get a hold of that garbage footage skylark.. i’m looking forward the the next post… these E3 posts are great by the way
I was so shocked to see M. Night Shyamalan up there making a tool of himself.
