Where To Watch the E3 Press Conferences

Who needs Photoshop when I have MS Paint?

What? Not going to E3? Well neither are we so there.

Unfortunately, I guess we weren't cool enough to go to E3 this year so we get to sit around and let all those 'real journalists' have all the fun.

But not all hope is lost! Thanks to the magic of both the internet and television we can still get the scoop of all the happenings of E3! Especially the press conferences.

Nintendo to Unveil Wii Successor at E3?

Hopefully more than just two Wii's duct taped together.

File this under rumor for now, but Game Informer apparently has multiple sources saying that Nintendo plans on showing off their new console around E3.

This would somewhat explain why the Wii lineup for new releases has been kind of dry in recent months. With Nintendo only having Skyward Sword and the the sequel to Wii Play officially on the books, it would point to Nintendo pulling resources from Wii development to focus on a strong lineup for their new console.

But that aside, what do Game Informer's sources have to say about this new console? Hit the jump to find out.

3DS: The Launch List

I know this is just a tad late....but here is the list of the launch games for the 3DS.

There are technically eighteen titles in total counting the three versions of Nintendogs + Cats, otherwise the number is sixteen.

 Figured this deserved a post of it's own rather than try to fit it in with the rest of the new release list. After this point, check out our weekly New Video Game Releases (coming later today) to see all the new 3DS games coming out, as well as the other games releasing for the other systems.

New Nintendo 3DS Features Announced

Salvador

Nintendo has revealed four major happenings dealing with the 3DS.

As you can tell from the picture above, Netflix is coming to the 3DS this summer. The movies should be in high quality (NOT HD) via Wi-Fi of course and pretty much function similar to the Instant Play features on other consoles and TV's. Now I can switch from playing Mario vs. Donkey Kong to watching The King Of Kong (If you haven't seen this, DO) all on one handheld! Productivity be damned!

Speaking of Wi-Fi, Nintendo has teamed up with AT&T to bring 10,000 free Wi-Fi spots across the US this summer. Places like malls, airports, restaurants, and the like will join in this venture so you can be playing online, using Netflix, and downloading all those games and demos in public. Granted this will probably be in more heavily populated areas where AT&T actually WORKS. Though maybe Rich can somehow get one of these......

Also, when the eShop launches this summer for the 3DS, not only will you be able to download original Game Boy games, Game Boy Color games, and DSiWare titles, but you will also be able to download Sega Game Gear games and Turbografx games as well. Bonk here I come!

And last but not least, Satoru announced a Super Mario game under development for the 3DS. The team behind Super Mario Galaxy is apparently the team in charge. Other than four screenshots, no other info was given other than a temporary logo.



Stay tuned for more announcements and happenings from GDC 2011.

The Legend of Zelda: 25 Years Old!

By Salvador

May I propose, Zelda's Theorom:

Link + Zelda + Ganondorf + Master Sword + Triforce = $$$$$

Where's the proof you say?

As of last year, the Legend of Zelda franchise is seventeen main games strong with another three on the way and has sold over 59 MILLION copies since the first game The Legend of Zelda.
