News, everyone! Apparently E3 started… today? I dunno. I kept hearing about it, but failed to get caught up in the hype. In any case, my beloved dailies (Game|Life, NWR, Wii Fanboy, etc) are flooding with all sorts of information, and it’s already getting hard to keep up. I kind of hate E3.
But, there’s a big bright upside to all of this. No, it’s not new Mario Galaxy footage (though that is pretty hot). In fact, it’s the fact that RE: Umbrella Chronicles is apparently great. When I heard the premise of the game, I was not filled with hope, but if one of the few game journalists I idolize thinks it’s wonderful, who am I to disagree? I suppose time will tell if I like it that much, but at least now I know that I probably shouldn’t just ignore it completely like I’d originally intended to do.
Other things to say that I’m excited about? How about dates for Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Galaxy? I like those. Though I’m still twtiching in my seat waiting for more information on No More Heroes. I’d say that above all, if there was one game that sold me on the Wii, that would be it. Killer7 is one of the kickassingest GC games ever, and I can’t imagine that NMH will disappoint in any way. I could live without Mario and Metroid, but damn, I needs me some No More Heroes! (To help illustrate how hyped I am for this game, I bought $90 sunglasses and have begun spiking my hair so I can be more like Travis Touchdown.)
