Really Late E3 Impressions

>
---
Alright, since my internets have been out, time for some late, angry commentary on E3 this year.

Nintendo kind of pissed me off this year with what they had to show. Super Mario Galaxy 2? Another New Super Mario Brothers, only for Wii? No Kirby, F-Zero, Starfox, Pikmin, or Pokemon announcements? Bullshit.

The new Metroid looks interesting, but I think it looks a little too different from the rest of the series. It's always been about being alone on some dangerous world, not walking around some city. Oh, and when the obligatory black space marine goes "Remember me?" I almost died. How stupid. The combat looks cool since Team Ninja probably knows a thing or two about awesome fight scenes, so hopefully theres enough of that to make the game live up to my lofty expectations.

What really made me mad was the new Galaxy and Mario Bros. Nintendo never makes rehashes of their games, that was what makes them great. Every time a new game launches, it's nothing like the old ones. We don't have Super Mario Sunshine 2 do we? Or Link to the Past 2? No, that's because they were smart enough to realize we don't want the same goddamn thing twice in a row. There's a reason I don't like Halo, and a reason they're called Nintendo and not Bungie. Please, stop with Galaxy 2, and start making new stuff, not sequels. Hell, even their sequels somehow remain fresh- look at the Paper Mario games.

As for Sony, I don't really know what to comment on. More PSP stuff. More God of War, Final Fantasy, and whatever else they love. I've never been a Sony person, and I haven't ever owned a Sony console, so I'm pretty indifferent. Except when it comes to their controller. I hate their controller.
