I didn't realize they were porting Mario Tennis to the PSP.
Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip is the latest in the Hot Shots series and the second Hot Shots Tennis title in particular. I can't say I'm familiar with the original title, but I can say confidently that Hot Shots Tennis is more or less a Mario Tennis clone.
A short video showcasing the story, characters, and gameplay from the upcoming 3DS game.
More talk from the crew based on what they saw on the show floor, particularly the Move, Kinect, and 3DS.
The full PixlBit E3 crew talk for a little under an hour about everything they played at the show with an emphasis on new hardware.
Nick finally gets to try Kinect, click through to see his thoughts.
Though Microsoft is touting Kinect hard this E3, seemingly it is quite challenging to actually get some play time with the peripheral. Thankfully, we had a booth tour scheduled for Ubisoft which gave me an all-access pass to check out Motion Sports, one of the Kinect games being developed by Ubisoft.
3D picture taking? Mind = blown.
With my last Hands On article for the 3DS, I only had the opportunity to see a few dioramas on the system and play around with the buttons. This time I had the opportunity to take a few pictures.
Augmented reality was already pretty cool in its own right. Add in 3D, and now you have double cool.
Surprisingly, the best 3DS demo on the floor wasn't a real game in its own right. Rather, a tech demo designed to show off three pieces of technology featured in the 3DS: The Camera, Motion Sensors, and of course, the 3D effect.
PilotWings is back!
I've been a massive fan of the PilotWings series since its inception on the SNES. As you'd expect, I've been pining for a new entry in the series for quite a while now. Well, Nintendo has delivered in spades by bringing it back on the 3DS.
de Blob is back for more paintin' and liberatin'.
A couple years ago, an innovative and intriguing Wii game hit the market from THQ. de Blob was its name, and it brought some amazing music and fantastic platforming gameplay to the Wii. While the game was very good, it did suffer from some small issues, particularly with the jumping which was executed via waggling. Additionally, there was some tedium in terms of gameplay. de Blob: The Underground is a follow-up to that game, which seeks to improve the issues that were a detriment to the original.
With Kojima Productions at the wheel, honestly, I was expecting a bit more.
As we all know, Hideo Kojima and his team are taking a crack at the Castlevania seris with the title Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. I was pretty excited to hear the news as 3D Castlevanias have always been a bit disappointing, and Kojima usually does great work.
