Nintendo already showed off one big announcement for their E3 showing today. However, gaming fans are definitely looking forward to the software that the company will present tomorrow. According to Matt Casamassina though, one fan-favorite will be absent at this year’s E3: Kid Icarus. Kid Icarus has been hyped up for months now; concept art has (allegedly) been leaked, rumors of the developer have been strong, and indications that the new Wii game would be appearing at E3 have been great. Casamassina noted on the IGN boards, “Uh-oh. Looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer than E3 to see the kid fly again. Not too long, though, hopefully.”

According to IGN sources, not only is a motion-sensing peripheral in development for a new Tony Hawk game, but we could also see a new, redesigned DS Lite at E3 tomorrow. The motion/tilt add-on would be coming from Activision, who apparently has plans to utilize the technology in a new Tony Hawk game for the DS. Alternative rumors say Nintendo could be showing off a smaller DS redesign with a cheap price tag. Additionally, the big N may very well be developing their own motion/tilt-based cartridges, which would render Activision’s technology superfluous.

Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.

“I’ve played a Nintendo Wii. I don’t see it as a competitor. It’s more of an expensive niche game device. We’re selling a lot of PlayStation 3s now and it’s still the best way to buy a Blu-ray player.”- Sony boss Howard Stringer

The Wii may not have the most advanced and up-to-date technology, but it’s still the cheapest console out there. Also, even though the Wii has its flaws, it’s still the cheapest available on the market.
