E3: Nintendo

Well today's Nintendo press conference at E3 was kind of disappointing. I added some news bits in the sidebar though, most notable (again, to me) are Grand Theft Auto coming to the Nintendo DS, the new, improved motion sensitive controller add-on for Wii controllers (lightsaber duels, please!), a new Wii Sports game called Resort, and a Shaun White snowboard game to play with the Wii Fit board.

Some other news dropping today are a $400 80GB PS3, which signals to me that soon I will own a $350-ish PS3/BluRay player in about a year. I don't really care about the PS3, but a BluRay player that plays PS3 games I'm all in for.

The new Bionic Commando game is getting some decent play reviews. I want to like it, but classic remakes usually don't fair well. Especially if they are remakes from the 80s. I have absolutely no data to back that statement up. :)

Also, The Who's album "Live at Leeds" just hit Rock Band. I'm going to have to see if there are any songs worth a purchase. I've never listened to them. Maybe having the album to play in the game will make me like them just like Boston's Rock Band offerings did.
