E3 2008: Nintendo

I'll get around to offering my thoughts on each conference from this year's E3, but, for now I've only watched the Nintendo one.

Game breakdown! I'm mildly curious about Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, though I dunno how well such a game will work on the DS. Guitar Hero On Tour Decades... meh. Wasn't interested in Guitar Hero On Tour to begin with beyond a general curiosity, I'm even less interested in a sequel. Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party could be interesting, but, y'know... another mini-game collection, woohoo... speaking of mini-game collections, Wii Sports Resort. A game meant to showcase the new Wii remote features much like the original Wii Sports showed us how the Wii remotes motion-sensing worked. Yet another Pokémon spin-off game, yeah, okay.

Call of Duty, no interest in that franchise at all... Spore Creatures, meh. Watered down version of Spore, from what I gathered. Never got into Animal Crossing, so, not much interest in another iteration.

Games that I am interested in? Wii Music has piqued my interest, though I'm skeptical of how well it'll actually work. Star Wars: The Clone Wars looks like it could be pretty awesome, we'll see what the story-line's supposed to be like. That's about it, really.

Non-game-related stuff! I'm kind of worried about making the Wii remote any more sensitive with their MotionPlus thing. Intriguing, but, I can see it making games so much more difficult than they ever need to be.

Over-all, I'm kind of let down by this. Some stuff I'm mildly interested in, but, nothing to really get me excited for upcoming games on the Wii and Nintendo DS.
