The Sony and Nintendo Press conferences were earlier and I want to give my take on both of them. First Nintendo.
First off, there has never been a time I’ve wanted a console more than I do right now. The Wii hjas Mario Kart and Metroid Prime 3 plus a new Resident Evil game that is exclusive to it. If only I could find one. They also announced a Wii Zapper, which is a gun controller for the Wii. That is going to be huge and playing Metroid Prime with will be killer. They also announced a Wii fitness game called WiiFit. Although it looks more like a Yoga tape than a game, the mat for the WiiFit and the game itself are really impressive. I hope some FPS come out using the mat.
A lot of people are talking about how Sony really stepped it up this year with the announcement of some great looking games and the announcement of upgrades to Home. I was dissappointed. Yes the games do look impressive, but they also look like games that I’ve seen before on the 360, like Gears of War. The only game that they showed that I was impressed with was Metal Gear Solid 4. I really liked the second one, but I couldn’t get into the third one. Metal Gear Solid 4 looks like it is going to be Playstation 3’s Halo.
Out of the three major press conferences, Sony was number 3 Microsoft came in second and Nintendo stole the show, much like it did last year
