Handstand kicks are always awesome. Tera's just full of bitchassness for some reason...

Oh on the whole SAMUS ARAN FANSERVICE thing?

Itigaki was the most sexist guy working for Team Ninja and when he bailed out he took most of the old Team Ninja with him, and this is like 99% all new employees.

So, I think we're safe.

Presentation was cool, but I kinda wish they'd announced something special for this, rather than just showing off one piece of concept art.

Apparently NSMBW won't have any online play because "there's so much going on the screen that we use up all our processing power, so we simply have nothing left."

Really? Reeeeally?

I'm hyped as shit for Galaxy 2 though. Since I assume they're reusing the old codes and engines and what not, they should be able to focus on patching up Galaxy's few flaws and make the game as a whole better and longer than the original. Or they could completely half ass it. Who knows.

I can't seem to find any of the pictures of link that you guys mentioned. Know where I can find one in image form instead of watching 2 hours of E3 for one picture?

It's not public, it was just described in a few liveblogs. I do hope people who saw it will be able to give better descriptions later though, my curiosity is piqued for the moment.

Oh also:

And people wonder why the Wii is so damn silly. It isn't even two Gamecubes - its a Gamecube with vertical stand-up and a glowing blue light.

[P-Sleazy]

A glowing blue light of pure awesome!

[ZAKtheGeek]

You know what's a four-player game with a lot of crazy shit going on onscreen? Brawl.

WTF Nintendo

The clips in that trailer showed a lot of Samus Aran owning the fuck out of some monsters so I'm not too worried but let's be honest ever since that blue-bodysuit shit went down it's been a concern.

...Basically the ideal dude role in a Metroid story is that one dude bounty hunter from the Nintendo Power Metroid comic a million years ago.

Oh god I just noticed the "magical girl transforming"-esque way she puts on the suit in that video.

I have some serious reservations about Metroid: Other M. Yeah, the breast loving dude left Team Ninja, but also, pretty much what made good Team Ninja games laft as well. The mixing of the sidescroller and third person elements seems really kinda weird, and I'm starting to fear this will be a very linear game. Fusion was pretty linear, but I can't shake the notion that exploration will be taken out of this entirely.

Also, story scenes, what? I like my story integrated into the actual game, like how Retro Studios was doing it.

I know I have a reputation of being a pessimist about things like this around here, but I see very little to look forward to in this new Metroid venture. Hopefully my fears will be/already have been disproved by actual gameplay footage, but I'll not hold my breath, instead opting to wait to see what Retro Studios is working on next.

Something I find very intriguing, however, is this rumor that Kojima Productions will be handling the next Castlevania.
