Nintendo Takes Centre Stage

The Nintendo press conference has just finished and my quick overview... Large line-up of fairly average games and the reveal of 3DS, which doesn't feel like much of an upgrade.

A bunch of new titles were revealed including new Zelda, Kirby, Metroid and Donkey Kong Country games. Clearly Nintendo is trying to make 2011 the year of the mascot. Some issues during the Zelda demo due to, what i presume was, interference with the motion plus. A few games to look out for, but most don't really scream 'innovation'.

The show ended with the reveal of Nintendo 3DS (yes, that is now officially the name). The 3DS will have a 3D screen on top, but not on the bottom. Improved graphics, enhanced controls and a tilt sensor will add to gameplay, while two camera lenses allow you to take 3D photos. The 3DS will launch with a heap of software support including a new Kid Icarus game (in 3D, of course).

More info on the games above and any more news that pops up later in the Day 2 summary.
