Nintendo Everything

Sengoku came out for the Wii Virtual Console in April. An Australian/European release now looks to be on the way as well.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 may not be dead. Well, Ubisoft seems to at least remember that it had announced the game at one point.

The company posted the following content on its Facebook page late last week with regard to E3 2013:

“We’re a bit busy prepping for E3. Time to call in some reinforcements. (Points if you remember this classic character!)”

Surely Ubisoft isn’t just messing with us, right…? Beyond Good & Evil 2 has to come back at this point. It’s been waaaaaaay too long since Ubisoft announced the game!

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!

If you listen to our podcast, you’re probably well aware that we will be attending E3 this year. Laura, Jack, and myself (your regular podcast crew, as it were) will be walking the show floor, playing games, and causing trouble all three days of the show, with the sole purpose of trying to provide an entertaining and informative (risky, eh?) look at what the heck is going on there.

If you want to know how to follow the action, hit the break. I’ve made it easy enough to read through our plans.

More Nintendo Miis look to be on the way during E3 week. The following image was shared on the company’s Facebook page a few hours ago:

Masahiro Sakurai, maybe? Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda? I’m just throwing out a couple of guesses!

Before there was Star Fox Adventures, Rare was cooking up Dinosaur Planet for the Nintendo 64. A trailer was prepared for the game back in September 2000, but never released. We do, however, have a few screencaps from the video that you can view in the gallery above.
