So still waiting for the Nintendo Conference to load so going to jump into Resistance 2 again and see if I can get any closer to clocking this awesome game.
---------------------------------------------------------
Why do I always walk around the corner straight into a ravager with a shield lol
dang! just ran past a turret to have another ravager jump in front of me and one hit kill me
ok got him, basically charged across to make them spawn then back across so could sniper them all :-D

Ok stopped for now after I took on a spider vehicle by myself, the video as not fully loaded so going to attempt G4TV for this one and see if that will load faster. Ok it's loading now and quickly hooray!
so let's get started
Main thing for me with this conference was to find out about the console and of course what they bringing out for the 3DS since the lack of games as been worrying.
So what did you think of the Nintendo Wii U?? bit of a strange name personally but ok I can live with it I guess. Would had liked to see some actual proper footage of it working and not tech demos but the concept is pretty sweet. Although I am calling it now, I doubt that the Zelda game for it will look nothing like that tech demo lol it was too good.
Ok anyway hmmm I like the pad, I like the idea that all the menu and stats are on the controller and freeing up the tv just for the game so you can see its beautiful picture perfectly. I'm in two minds with using the controller as a zoom scope in shooting games and that golf gimmick for the ball was just that a gimmick. Was surprised that the Wii controllers are still taking a huge part in this console, really though they would go all out and make all new stuff. Did like the drawing pictures they did, betting ubisoft team are not happy that their tablet might not be needed any more lol
So I guess I would get one, the idea is good but really could do with more information but not got to worry for another what?? year at least? im betting 2012 holidays at the earliest or 2013 starts. JUst hope they don't leave it too long or the next Xbox and PlayStation will be out

So 3DS line up, new mario game which looks cool, new mario kart with custom karts...sweet and a Luigi mansion which not sure what to think since I've never played the first. Ok the line up is cool but I'm not the hugest Mario fan, what happened to Professor Layton? no sign in the conference although I have heard their is a trailer up for the next one but not the 3DS version? have to check that out later.
In September Zelda four swords will be a free download for the DSi....sweet as long as I can download that to my 3DS since I don't have a DSi anymore. Also Zelda Skyward sword is out Christmas, I think it's time I sat down and gave a Zelda game a good try, never really played one except Twilight Princess but did not give it much time like most games. Although I had to laugh I really thought they would not release Skyward Sword until the Wii U was out and make it a port like they did with Zelda Twilight Princess.
Zelda gold wii remote plus...ok I guess if you a huge fan of the series, although gold colour is being used too much.
Pokedex 3D sounded pretty sweet and even sweeter when they said its free! basically scan ar codes to gather Pokemon, can use the AR cards to bring the Pokemon to life next to you or in your house. Should be a nice little fun game to prat about with, think I will be updating my 3DS in a bit.

So that's it really for Nintendo, overall I don't think personally any won the best conference this year since they where pretty much all the same. Few surprises and no real shocks really, only one that stands out was Micrsoft with the kinect games but not enough to say yeah Microsoft was the winner. So this year is a tie!
Now in a minute I will do the third post and cover all the stuff announced like EA games, Ubisoft etc with some nice trailers then update my E3 posts that I did last week. But first I'm going to update my 3DS and check out that new stuff, and I need to pop onto the PS3 to check out E3 on the Home.
Dang I did it again, let the battery die and did not check the street pass information from the last time I used it...which was ... well I cannot remember lol. Right lets see what I got, ohh four people :-D
One new Metroid puzzle piece and only two left to get now! scratch that another piece! ah dang the other two people have nothing new. Well least I'm one piece to finish now and it's time for my third play through of Street Quest, shame no more rewards from now on.
Well two rooms completed with three ghosts defeated, nice start :) right let's find this system update so I can check out the eStore. Ok my notifications tell me there is quite a few updates for Samurai Warriors Chronicles, really need to play that game. Hmm needs more battery life before the update can begin, going to leave it on charge and try out Home instead while I wait.
Just downloading the Booth area and then going to check it out, wow that quick right here we go :) nice! so got to watch all trailers to earn rewards and get into the VIP area for more rewards.
Well so far the trailers have already seen, Uncharted, Vita, Resistance etc oh well
Hmm I've unlocked a few things, Papo and Yo Frog torso and Resistance 3 Hybrid Torso armour, PlayStation network jersey ohhhh ratchet and clank t-rex companion and a sweet tooth mask just a few things got so far. Pretty sweet
Ok VIP area bit boring, ah a game i see scribble shooter....ok its alright but there are plenty of games like it. Well that's it for my adventure in Home today, going to see if the 3DS is charged yet
Update is done so checking out the store now, wow nice layout hmm Pokedex 3d first thing shown as you load in :) downloaded and now getting the 3D Classics Excitebike...this should be a laugh later
Trying out Pokedex now to see what it can do then going to end this part of the post and get on with the next.
Ok so I start with several Pokemon in my dex already, I can send and receive from friends. I can use street pass too and keep an eye out for AR Markers to scan. Sounds like a nice little collecting game, ok it seems I've got pretty much all the starting Pokemon and their evolutions already. Have to try and spot pass someone later at work
