Week 21 V4.0 - VG Haven - 6/10/2014

Now we're talking. So unless you live under a rock, today we had Nintendo's Digital event which had a lot of fun content to watch. If you live underground then let me tell you that E3 so far has been pretty good with Sony, Ubisoft and Nintendo delivering solid game content. Microsoft I didn't see because I frankly don't care about them. Sorry fanboys.
I'll try to summarize some of the cool things of today's Nintendo showcase.

So we start with the Mii Fighter joining the smash scene which I could say that some people will hate or love. Pelutena from Kid Icarus joins the fray and just minutes ago before the day ended, Pac-man will also be appearing. Weather it's cool or not, it is the battle of the retro classic mascots of the past.

As we all, or maybe not all, know people around the gaming community have been wanting a new IP from Nintendo. Did Nintendo show a new IP this E3? Yes they did

Not just one but several. The one that definitely is under my radar is Splatoon. Something about it just made me fall in love. With it's take on the third-person shooter genre, this the first time I see something Nintendo attempt that isn't with one of their classic franchises. If you don't know what it is then I suggest you stop reading and search it on youtube. As for the other new IPs or games, whatever you wanna call them. Project guard and Giant Robot which the latter I know for certain will win Game of The Year. Why? Well why the buck not?! It's awesome. Finally we will have the robot brawler we have always wanted since we were kids. Beating other customized robots is always a treat. Project guard is basically a defense game where you look through several cameras and shoot incoming waves of robots. Yes robots.

Other cool things like the official return of Starfox. Coming to the Wii U in 2015. Not much was shown but it has been confirmed. Now if we can get them to make a new F-zero. Then we can live in great harmony.

Of course there was Zelda, Smash, Bayonetta 2+1 (Yes the first bayonetta will be included in the game.), Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles X (that's it's name.), Yoshi's Wooly world, and others.

At day's end there was the smash tournament which was *puts fist close to head and then moves it away while opening hand and makes an explosion sound effect* That was worth the watch and worth a lot more than anything at E3 so far.

I would like to put in here that Sony's conference was one of the best when it came to current-gen games. Yes current-gen as in 8th gen. We should drop the whole next-gen mumbo jumbo. It's annoying.

Well that's all there is to say. Tomorrow I'll be checking Nintendo's treehouse for more stuff. Hopefully they'll show starfox.

Now to play the real folk blues.
