E3 Day 3 News Blast

Oh my god last night was so busy that i didn't even have enough time fore myself, there were two press conferences and enough announcements that they could fill up an entire year with news.

So as usual i have a news blast for you that will probably be a bit long however it should cover all of the important stuff.

• First off was Nintendo and while there wasn't a lot of stuff they did start off announcing that New Super Mario will be heading to the Wii in it's four player glory with update graphics and the usual weapons and pick ups that have become so famous with the plumber.
• It wasn't the only Mario game shown off they also showed off a new downloadable Mario game for the DS and a big shock came when Super Mario Galaxy 2 was shown, the latter of the two features the same graphic style of the first one but with more new levels and the added bonus of Yoshi.
• It seems it was all about games at Nintendo press conference and the biggest shock came when a trailer came up on screen showing that Team Ninja will be the next ones to handle a new Metroid Game, Titled Metroid Other M the game will put you in Samus boots one more time and will have a darker edge to it.
  The game is set for release early 2010 and i can't wait.
• It wasn't all about games they also announced that you will be able to upload your photo's from your DSi to facebook, a new add on for the Wii called the Vitality Sensor was also show off that will enable you to check out how your body is doing and finally a new Wii fit will be hitting stores by the end of the year with even more new exercises and mini games to get to grips with.
• Sony had the second press conference of the day and they kicked off with the release date of the PSP Go, the new handheld will be out on 1st October and will feature no UMD drive but an internal 16gb hard drive and should cost around £179
• Games were also shown off for the PSP Go in the form of Gran Turismo, Motorstorm, Little Big Planet and a announcement that a new Resident Evil will be coming out early next year.
• The biggest game announced for the PSP was the new Metal Gear Solid in the form of Peace Walker.
  Hideo Kojima came on stage to show it off and he said that it will be a direct sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3 and will once again put in the shoes of one Solid Snake.
• It wasn't just the PSP with some big games the PS3 will also be getting some big hitters including Rockstars exclusive Agent that is another sand box game set during the 70's and a trailer showing of Final Fantasy 14 that will be exclusive for the PS3 and will be a direct sequel to Final Fantasy 12.
• Other games shown off were Uncharted 2 where it was also announced that the BETA kicks off that night, MAG was also shown off in its 256 player form and looked a lot like SOCOM, Assassins Creed 2 had more time on the PS3 conference stage than it did at Ubisofts press conference and finally Gran Turismo 5 was revealed for the hundredth time given more of the same Gran Turismo we are so use to.
• Finally there was three other big games shown off, firstly Project Trico got a new name entitled The Last Guardian and the same trailer that has already been shown, secondly we have the new game in the play create share genre that Sony is so proud of entitled ModNation Racer it will give the same amount of freedom that Little Big Planet gave you only in kart racing form and lastly Sony wheeled onto the stage the first look at the new God of War game that looked like the last one only with much better graphics.
• There was one last announcement at there press conference and that was there motion controller that will work with the Eyetoy and it is going to give you even more freedom than the Wiimote so say Sony.
  The wand was just a basic remote with a ball on the top and it is supposed to sense your full movement in 3D space however it looked more like a child's toy than a serious controller and the demo they showed off with it was even more stupid.
• In other quick news Lost Planet 2 had just been announced for the PS3 and will come out at the same time as the 360 version
• Beatles Rock Band DLC will not work with other Rock Band games so if you want to play anything to do with the Beatles you will have to fork out the money for the separate game itself.
• The Games on Demand service Microsoft announced on Monday will allow people to re download games they have to delete because of space and that they will not be over priced.
• finally Perfect Dark from the N64 will be coming out on XBLA this summer and will feature update resolution and the standard multiplayer over Xbox Live.

That's it for this jam packed news blast if there are any more big news stories coming out of E3 we Will let you know.
