After Nintendo’s incredibly disappointing E3 2008 conference, the company rebounded somewhat in 2009.

Thankfully, Cammie Dunaway said nothing about smiling or breaking her wrist snowboarding. This was, mostly, all about the games.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii started things off. An on-stage demo was held so that the game could be demonstrated for the first time.

Nintendo followed with Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus.

Time was also taken to highlight RPGs for the Wii and DS – Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story localization, and one brand new title: Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Nintendo closed out its conference with three big reveals: the Wii Vitality Sensor (which never made it to market), Super Mario Galaxy 2, and the surprising Metroid: Other M.

Overall, not bad at all considering how horrendous E3 2009 was!




If you were to ask any Nintendo fan about which E3 conference was Nintendo’s worst, most would probably point to E3 2008.

The briefing was completely devoid of announcements for the hardcore audience, and there was very little news in general.

So what was there? From Nintendo, the company announced Animal Crossing: City Folk, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Music. That’s it.

Arguably the biggest announcement was Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS, but no trailer (or screenshots) was shown.

E3 2008 led to several cringe-worthy moments. Cammie Dunaway made her debut and talked about breaking her wrist snowboarding, while Ravi Drums was banging away on virtual drums like a madman.

At least we got a few memes out of the whole thing!


Activision’s next Skylanders game is due out in October. The company announced today that Skylanders Swap Force will be hitting store shelves on October 13 in North America, Europe on October 18, and Australia on October 16.

Pricing is as follows: starter pack, $74.99; individual action figures, $9.99 for core characters, $14.99 for new SWAP Force characters.

Vicarious Visions is developing Skylanders Swap Force for all console versions of the game except for Wii, which Beenox is handling. n-Space is creating the 3DS version once again this year.

Activision has announced its lineup for E3 2013.

The publisher intends to highlight three games at the expo this year: Call of Duty: Ghosts, Skylanders: Swap Force, an Destiny. The first two will be playable; the latter will not.

Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said:

“This is obviously a big year – not just for Activision, but for the entire industry. There’s a console transition coming and naturally, everyone wants to see what new possibilities that will unleash in the games. We remain laser focused on delivering the things we know our gamers care about most: great gameplay, immersive worlds, and cool innovations. And that’s what our amazing lineup at E3 this year will deliver.”
