Nintendo was the press conference I was most looking forward to. The convention was centred mainly around the Wii U console which will be hitting stores near Christmas.
The games shown were:
Wii fit U
New super mario bros U
SiNG (working title)
Pikmin 3
Nintendo Land
Panorama View (working title)
Game & Wario (working title)
Wii fit U is here. A new and improved version of the Wii fit you know and love. At E3 new fitness games were shown like Trampoline Targets which sees you standing on the Wii balance board and extending you legs to jump as high as you can on a trampoline. There is also a Luge game where you lie on the balance board and tilt your body to direct yourself down the snow slide. A big addition is a pedometer that you can take on a run with you and then upload your run via the game pad to the game.
New super mario bros U is continuing the New super mario bros franchise. The game features a new power up ,which is being called the acorn mushroom, that turns mario into "Flying squirrel mario" and allows him to glide around the scenery. Another new item is the "Baby Yoshi". These come in 3 varieties, a pink one that turns into a balloon to allow you to float, a blue one that blows bubbles that trap enemies and a yellow one that glows in the dark. A new game play mode was also revealed where as well as players playing on screen another person can use the game pad to add blocks to the scenery to help the players jump ac cross holes and reach new places.
SiNG will be a fun game to play in a group with friends and family. Take to the stage using the Wii U game pad as you lyric screen and SiNG for stardom. The TV has a dance for the rest of the room to do and sing along lyrics too. You also get things to shout out to the audience on the game pad like "Clap" and "lets Dance". This game seems like a real party please and is defiantly on my wish list.
Pikmin 3 Good old Pikmin is back and its better than ever. The brand new HD makes the individual Pikmin all move clearly and smoothly and the scenes look amazing. A new species of Pickmin called the rock pikmin are available, and they can break hard objects like rock and ice. You can play traditionally using the Wii remotes and use the game pad as a map to view the whole area. Or you can use the game pad alone and command 4 different Pickmin leaders around the map for extra strategic play. This mode is a mode I realy want to try out as it shakes up the game play and adds a bit of interest to the game.
Nintendo Land is hitting our screens along with the Wii U release. You will be playing in a nintendo theme park featuring 17 attractions each based on a nintendo franchise. the ones we know about are:
- Animal crossing Sweet Day - Defend your garden of candy from candy loving animals
- Donkey Kong Crash Course - Ride your truck round a mad obstacle course
- The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest - Battle against goblins with swords and a Wii U cross-bow
- Takamaru's Ninja Castle - Ninja stars go flying in this mad ninja star shooter...thing
A racer game, a mario game, a yoshi game and others have also been seen but not named.
Panorama View turn your living room into the ultimate viewing screen with this cool game. Use the game pad to look around the room and view the stunning scenery your in. Not much about this game has been revealed
Game & Wario will be a sucsessor to the WarioWare games. It includes a range of minigames like Ski, Fruit, Shutter and Arrow. Other games will also be revealed. the idea of the game is to ear medals throughout the game by playing the minigames.
