I am making a blog just about this game because I am a huge Metroid fan. Super Metroid was the first game I ever beat at the age of 3 so it will also be one of the games I will love the most. If you never played Metroid before this blog might be a little confusing but if you never played Metroid this game might be a great place to start. The new game Other M seems to be very different than any other Metroid game. Team Ninja which are best known for their Ninja Gaiden games are working on this game with nintendo and they are both known what they are doing when it comes to making great games. From the trailer it looks like it will show parts of Samus life starting in the Galactic Federation (the place she a bounty hunter) and also show parts of Super Metroid like facing Mother Brain. I am sure that the game will show other parts of Samus's history like Metroid, Metroid 2, and metroid prime but this is not where the main story will take place. This main story takes place after Super Metroid and before Metroid Fusion. I am predicting that we are going to learn a lot about Samus's past and more about the Chozo's (ancient people that where highly intelligent and took care of Samus, taught her to fight, and gave her, her power suit. In the trailer we see for the first time Adam a man know in Metroid fusion that gave up his own life to save Samus's.

(Adam)
Adam is Samus's superior and normal sends her on her Missions with his famous line "Any objections lady". It is said that when he said it he sound sarcastic or rude but to Samus and him it was more a sign of respect and he knew Samus would never have any objection. I think they are going to show a more emotional side of Samus mostly between Adam and her. I don’t know if this game will show Adam dying for Samus but if it doesn't then most likely there will be a part 2 to this game. There is still a lot of things unknown about the trailer like the black guy who says remember me and the lady at the end who looks like Samus in a way but is not her. I think the black guy who says remember me is a guy that Samus worked with when she first enter the Galactic Federation and Samus must have made a lasting impression on him. The lady on the other hand is much hard to find out. She looks like a scientist that was surprise to see Samus there at first but then look like she knew something about her that Samus doesn't even know. I dont think Samus knows who she is and I think she is going to tell us something importaint about Samus's past or her suit or the Chozos. Anyways the fighting in the game looks cool it looks like a 2d side stroller with 3d also put in there and even first person shooter parts. I don’t know if you get to pick when you or if you want to play in first person but if I had to guess I would say no you don’t. It looks like Samus is going to have so new melee combo moves that she never had before and I am sure as you go through the game you will get more of them as upgrades. This game looks like great, I can't wait till the game comes out. I am so going to buy it the day it comes out but I will have to wait in till 2010. One more thing before I end the name for the game Other M sounds werd right now but I am sure over time it will make sense some people think it means MOther if you put the M in front and others think maybe Other metroid but i dought that one. I just thought I should share that.

Well after watching Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony’s I find that none of them really did better then the other they all had their bad sides and all had their good sides. I will start off with Microsoft first because their press conference was first

Microsoft
I have to say started off really really bad with the Beatles rockband game because one they spent 30 mins talking about a game that was not even exclusively for their system, Rock band is nothing new, and they got the 2 living Beatles to come on stage and they had no clue what to say i don’t think they know what a video game is and what they were doing there. Then they showed games that people already know about like call of duty, Halo ODST which looks very good but it halo and then after that a new surprise though a new Halo game but they didn't show much of it. They also made a new tony hawk game which I don’t care about with a skateboard anything to big there. Here is what really got me, somehow Microsoft got the right to Metal gear solid but without snake but I hear that they might put all the old MGS games on the Xbox don’t know if that is true though. They also showed left 4 dead 2 which I was a little surprised to see so early because it was less than a year ago that the last one came out which makes me wonder about this game and how good it really is. A new game that was there that I never heard of is Allan Wake which at first sound like bioshock to me because this guy and his family went on but it look interesting but not sure that it is something I would play. The biggest thing at their conference was though their new motion sensor system call project Natal.

This thing look great almost makes me wish I had an Xbox 360 (that is saying a lot). It seems to scan you whole body and has voice recognition that really works well because it senses you voice and the way you lips are moving to find out what you are saying. Also it makes interacting with video games on a whole new level just watch the videos of it, it is better than me explaining it. I think Natal is more than a thing to use for video games it has so much potential to give a new environment to everything. Xbox had a very good press conference I give it 9.1 out of 10.

Nintendo
There press conference started off better then Xbox with a New Super Mario game for the wii called New Super Mario wii lol no joke. It looks like the DS game but just for the wii and you can have up to 4 people playing at one time. It looks ok but nothing I am really going to get. Then Nintendo went down from there going to wii fit plus. Just another wii fit game just wii fit 2 with more options. Then they showed off wii sports resort again with the wii motion plus. It looks good but nothing new. Then they showed a game that was for girls (some type of fashion game.) Then they showed women murder mystery book club game which looks really lame but I think it will sell well because women will like it. Really at this point I was very upset but then they showed Golden Sun Ds which is going to be a good game if you know what golden Sun is because it been 6 years sense the last one, also an new final fantasy game for the wii and one of my favorite RPG for Nintendo Mario and Luigi Bowers inside story. Then it got boring again showing off some type of thing that measures you heart rate and is made to help you relax it sounds dumb and I have no clue how it is going to work or what it is really used for. Here there was less than 15 min left in their press conference and I was like "great no hardcore games again" but then Reggie (president of Nintendo in the US) came out saying "we showed you all these great games but there are some of you I bet out there that are still not satisfied" I was like that is me. Then he showed of really good games that are only for the wii after, first the conduit which is nothing new but is going to be a great FPS for the wii. Then Dead space and Resident Evil, both Rail shoots that look great and a great buy for any real gamer. Then he showed Mario Galaxy 2 which I was not expecting because this is the first time they made 2 3D plat former for any system that had Mario and Yoshi is back that’s my favorite part. They also Saved the best for last Metroid Other M and if anyone knows me I am a huge Metroid fan.

(Oh yeah that looks great and thats like only a 140lb not counting the suit girl taking that thing down)
I have analyzed the video a lot and I am going to make a special post just for it because this was my favorite game shown at E3 if you have not seen the trailer you got to it was great. This ends Nintendo’s press conference and I give it a 8.3 out of 10 for overall. One more thing that was not said but was told latter at E3 is they are making a new Zelda game for the wii coming out in 2010

Sony

I feel sorry for Sony because a lot of their stuff that they were going to say was leaked onto the internet but there were still a lot of great things that were still kept secret. The big thing that was leaked out to everyone was the PSP Go which I found to be 10 times better then the PSP 3000 because I like the look of it so much. It has one big problem with it though it cost $250 and that ant right. It cost as much as a wii and more than an xbox 360 arcade version. I don’t know how well it will sell because of that price. I also heard that it is cheap to make this psp go then to make the psp 3000 and the psp 3000 only cost $169. I expect the cost of it to go down fast so I will wait before I buy it. Sony also show games that they will only have like new MGS peace make on the PSP, New Uncharted, and Final Fantasy 14 (big surprise) but it will only be on line. A lot of people are also into this game called Mag which can have like 520 people playing online at the same time and how they get that to work IDK but sound interesting. Also Sony showed off their new motion sensor which was a combination of a wii remote and a camera like project Natal that can sense your remote very well. By the look of it, it is better than Nintendo’s wii remote even with the wii motion plus because the camera is 10x better then inferred sensor but it is also cheap for Nintendo to do it that way making it easier for consumer to buy a wii. I don’t know how much it will cost but it still looks like it’s only a prototype thing.

It is not as good as Project Natal because project Natal seems to be like 2 or 2.5 steps in the next direction and this thing that Sony made was just the next step and Nintendo is soon going to be a step behind. Over all I like sonny’s press conference and I give it 9.0 out of 10. There is one more great game coming out for PS3 that I think everyone is going to want is God of war 3 but I really don’t need to talk about it everyone knows it’s already going to be great.

Even though the other companies are making motion systems for their systems that are better then Nintendo’s. I still think Nintendo is going to win because they were first, theirs are cheaper to make because I am sure the other motion systems when they come out will be a ton, and Nintendo has the motion system out now and with the wii motion plus it might make people not care what the other systems are doing (this is causal games I am talking about not hardcore because these motion controllers are really ment to reach them.) I can wait to see how this all goes but the other things won’t be coming out for some time I bet to bad. But a lot of new and great games are coming out soon so let’s look forwards to that

Today kicks off the Day for the biggest Gaming convention of the whole year. There have been many leaks of information and I will tell you the best ones

The PSP Go
This is the new PSP the Sony is making and it seems to look interesting. It is very small and many people are concerned about this but I am not, I am sure it will be fine. The biggest difference known right now is it Does not Take the UMD Cd anymore but a SD like card that has the game on it. It seems to be ably to download games/demos, has Bluetooth connection technology, and a cell phone like internet connection (don’t have much info on that sorry) It seems to still play music, hold pics, go on internet, and seems to have some inbuilt memory in it already (don’t know how much).
Here is a pic of what it sorta looks like

Now the final product is a little different then this but it gives you and idea of what it looks like. Also what seems to be leaked but not really confirmed is a new PS3 slim which is what it sounds like a PS3 slimed down because we all know that thing is huge.

Next it seems to be leaked that there will be a new wii fit plus. Nothing to big but people who like the wii fit you get to know something more is coming out for it. I don’t know if it will have a new balance board altogether or upgrade the one you have now like the wii motion plus. Something also interesting seems that the leak that showed this info on the wii fit plus also talked about a new Mario game coming out before the end of the year. It did not say what the game is called but it will be coming out.

Xbox 360 has had no real leaks at all (maybe because it has nothing lol) We all know that there will be a New Halo nothing new there and I already talked about the motion camera but there has not been anything else really. I think today is Microsoft’s Press Conference and tomorrow is Nintendo and Sony’s. I will update with any important information that comes out during E3 that I find news worthy. So Stay tone to the next Blog because the next one will have a lot of new 100% confirmed information.

As E3 draws near it has been harder to find news that has been goig on because the game compainys keep everything hush hush before e3 and than like day or 2 they come out with some leakes and then you find everything out at their press conference. A lot of news I have been looking at is just what people want to see at E3 so I guess I will make my own too.

PS3- I want to see a new MGS Game and a all together more exclusive for the ps3 like the next Uncharted and maybe a kingdome hearts (that would be nice). I dont think there will be any system upgrades for it but maybe they will lower the price for Ps3?

Xbox- Like I said in another review I want to see how this motion sensor thng that microsoft is making will work. I am sure we are going to see a new halo, maybe fable 3, and Bioshock 2

Wii- I really want them to show a HD Wii system.

I would like new wii channle stuff more HARDCORE games like Zelda, Metroid, Mario, or something that will get hardcore gamers back to the wii somehow. Nintendo will need to step it up they did so bad last time. One more thing I want to see more use of the wii motion plus and see how good it really is.

Everone top games that they want to see at E3 seems to be final fantisy XIII, Assation creed 2, boishock 2, new GTA, a new devlopment of Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead, New Mario and Zelda game, and may other things but intill we get closer to E3 new Updates will be harder to put up. We will see what I can do about it.

Just like the Xbox jst did with selling their system with Halo 3 and Fable 2 now it is PS3 turn.

This is not proven yet but a website has unveiled two new PlayStation 3 bundles, one featuring the budget-priced Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty (and a second controller!!!! that is cool they cost like $60), and another featuring inFamous. The images of the bundles, each retailing for €399 and Euro-only offers apparently, what is that in amercan money IDK. Seem pretty legit, but nobody from Sony has confirmed anything as of yet...

That is right it is now plain to see everyone agrees with nintendo that they went the right way with their motion sensor system. Ps3 decided to take it after seeing at E3 in 2006 and made their controlor motion sensor but it was really just a gimic then really being a main uses in a lot in games. Then Xbox has already stolen nintendo mii idea where you can make a person that looks like you and or someone else (like chuck norris) and use it in many things in game and online. Now Xbox has decided to use a motion sensor system that will be show at the next E3. The way it works seems to be like a webcam thing that senses your movements. I dont know how they will integrate that into games but they are not the first ones to come up with this idea because on the ps2 it had a game that did this but i didn't work very well. Looking at the pics and from others looking at it, a lot of people and me would say "I would take their controller any day". I really wonder though how well will this work I am very intrested in it. Will this be the next big thing or will it be a Epic Fail

Lately Sony and Nintendo have been watching the sales of games that growing at a rapid rate and no it is not Xbox 360 (no one fears them ). It is the iphone believe it or not. The iphone has been selling so many games that Sony and Nintendo see them as compation with them now and the iphones games are been bought fast and they are good too for cheap. I dont really know how far this really goes but it is looking like they are really watching the i-phone now as a gaming system with them. They see the i-phone as a thret for their handheld systems mostly but even with their main systems the Ps3 and Wii a little too because it is getting the rights to game like MGS 4 and putting it on the iphone. If I get more info on it I will tell you.
