Nintendo E3 2009

It's that wonderful time of year again! Once again the Electronic Entertainment Expo delivered many surprises from all gaming companies. And one company that pretty much gave fans (almost) everything they want. Nintendo.
Head Past the break for full E3 coverage
 

Super Mario Galaxy 2

The biggest game revealed by Nintendo was once again explained to the audience, similar to the original Super Mario Galaxy.

The trailer sees the return of the Bee suit and more themed levels (snow, big things (left), etc.). But the biggest surprise was Yoshi's return! As seen in the trailer there will be many gameplay mechanics that can be used while riding Yoshi. It apears that when Mario is riding Yoshi, shooting star bits with curser is replaced with shooting Yoshi's tongue at enemies and hooks. Also shown in the trailer was a new suit that drills into planets.










New Super Mario Bros Wii

Also announced at E3 was the sequel to the very popular DS game of the same name: New Super Mario Bros.

At first glance it looks like a prettier version of the original, but the cooperative multiplayer component looks promising












Metroid: Other M
Nintendo announced another continuation of the Metroid Series with Metroid: Other M. The title is intriqueing. The whole game is intriguing actually. The game is being developed by Team Ninja, the company responsible for the Ninja Gaiden series. This change in direction definitely shows with a completely new look and art style, coupled with retro style gameplay (sidescrolling).

New Metroid?

Well no that's not entirely true..

Oh Nintendo why do you tease us? The official Metroidsite has mentioned another side story, for the metroid franchise. Underneath the english text is the following:"Follow the history of Metroid Prime from the perspective of the Space Pirates".

 Okay so we already knew Nintendo is planning to relase Prime 1 & 2 with a new style of playing, but this has never been mentioned before. Maybe it's a new metroid game where you are the enemy! Or maybe it's just some sort of retrospective or comic.

Whatever it is, it's certainly turned a few heads and raised a few eyebrows.

There'll be more news as it happens.
