Nintendo 3DS Notes from E3

Top screen 3.5″ and capable of displaying 3D Graphics.

3D Depth Slider adjusts how much 3D is involved. You can go to max or to none at all.

Bottom Screen is still a touch screen.

Analog Stick above the D-Pad on the left side. They are calling it the Slide Control. I wonder if it is like the PSP Analog stick….

Improved Graphics capabilities

1 Camera on the front and 2 on the back. Allows you to take a picture and view it in 3D.

DS supports 3D movies but it does not say exactly how the content will get on the device.

3D Glasses are not needed as everyone knew.

Kid Icarus: Uprising will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS. (Why does the music on the trailer sound like it is from the Love Boat?) Looks pretty good and fun.

Communication between multiple 3DS automatic communication no matter what game is being played. They also can connect via Wi-Fi.

New version of Nintendog coming….now with CATS!

Square Enix (Kingdom Hearts), Level5, EA, Capcom, WB Games, Ubisoft, and Konami (Metal Gear Solid) providing games to the 3DS.

During the trailer I saw a Star Fox fighter fly out. Do a barrel roll! That and Reggie was attacked by Bowser. Nice…

WTF Nintendo. They have a bunch of chicks with a 3DS’s attached to their belts and they are walking around to people in the theater at E3 so they can try them. Booth babes are one thing but this is just odd.

Kirby’s Epic Yarn Announced

I am not a fan of Kirby games in general but it has the look and art style of Little Big Planet.

Pretty cool looking game. I am almost surprised that it is a Wii game because it looks that good!

Here is a screenshot courtesy of Kotaku.

New Goldeneye coming to the Wii this Holiday Season

Nintendo just announced that GoldenEye will be coming to the Wii.

Good News:
Looks like the original N64 Goldeneye.
Split-Screen Play
Classic Bond Villians
Paintball Mode
Nostalgia Value is high

Bad News:
It looks exactly like the original Goldeneye.

FPS games have come a long way since the original. Will this game hold on to it’s nostalgia value or actually embrace innovation?

I am excited about shooting a guy sitting on the toilet from the vents with a silenced PPK just to see his hat fly off. (Don’t judge me!)

Here is a couple pics from Kotaku.
