Let the Nintendo Media Summit "blowout" begin! For those of you who are itching for mind-scrambling new announcements on par with a Kid Icarus sequel or new, hands-on impressions of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Battalion Wars 2, you're going to be disappointed.
Instead of megaton bombing the press, Nintendo wisely, but cruelly, focused on games that are expected to ship before the end of summer. This gave some of their first and third party titles an opportunity to shine before E3 kicks off in July.
So what was shown in the fine city of Seattle this week? In addition to third-party efforts like Carnival Games, Drawn To Life, Jam Sessions, Boogie and The Bigs,which I've already covered, we played:
- Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)
- Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree (Wii)
- Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii)
- Mario Party 8 (Wii)
- Brain Age 2: More Training In Minutes A Day (DS)
- Planet Puzzle League (DS)
- Picross DS (DS)
For the next few posts, expect impressions, new screenshots and new video of all of those titles. There's plenty to see, so stay tuned.
