Finally, I`ve some free time to update this topic. I`ll make the Nintendo E3 report this weekend, but as of now, lets just concentrate on the stuff we most care about, the games anouncements, and boy there were plenty of them!. Even considering that most 3rd parties stepped up before the conference, E3 delivered on almost every department, and not only Nintendo, but Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft and even EA, all of them showed lots of new games for us. The entertainment industry is crippling in some other areas (Movies and T.V.) with the recession, but the gaming world is still going strong.

Without further ado, here are the most notable game announcements of E3 2009

- New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Genre: 2D Platformer
Developer: Nintendo EAD Tokyo
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: November 2, 2009

This New Super Mario Bros. is a throwback to the style of the original Super Mario Bros. and allows four players to play the game together. Players can navigate the side-scrolling worlds alone as before or invite up to three others to join them at the same time on the same level at any point in the game for competitive and cooperative multiplayer fun. With the multiplayer mode, the newest installment of the most popular video game franchise is designed to bring yet another type of family entertainment into living rooms and engage groups of friends in fast-paced Super Mario Bros. fun.

Mario is back for another out-of-this-world adventure, and this time he’s bringing Yoshi along for the ride.

The game will include a number of enormous bosses, a wide variety of different levels (even ones absent from the first game like Tiny-Huge World), returning power-ups as well as new ones, and much, much more. Super Mario Galaxy 2’s development is still underway and the game is set for release some time next year.

As Shiren, a wandering adventurer with a penchant for exploration, monster-slaying, and item collection, you will trek across a beautiful and varied countryside with your companion, Koppa, a talking ferret. Randomly-generated areas, intense boss battles, extensive item customization, and a cast of intriguing and unpredictable characters translate into one of the most satisfying RPG experiences of the year. Exceptionally reviewed by famed Japanese gaming publication Famitsu (9/9/8/9), this latest entry in the legendary series stands as one of the most addictive, highly rewarding, and endlessly replayable games available on Wii, not to mention the most accessible Shiren game yet. Atlus has confirmed to localize Shiren 3 in North America.

This is the second chapter of the Zelda franchise made for the Wii game platform, following on the successful release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This new entry however, promises to completely revamp the Zelda franchise with unprecedented Wii control with the Wii Motion Plus accesory. To get an idea as to how the new Zelda might play, pay close attention to Archery & Sword Fighting in Wii Sports Resort. Set in a completely new era, Link is shown more mature than he has ever been in a Zelda game and without a Master Sword in hand? What could Nintendo be planning in this new Zelda adventure? We’ll find out next year as Nintendo officially announces the game.

- Spyborgs

Genre: Arcade Brawler
Developer: Bionic Games
Publisher: Capcom
Release Date: Winter 2009

In Spyborgs, players take on the role of a diverse team of five bionic superspies in a fight to save the world from a group of dastardly villains. Players jump between the identities of a team of five bionic superspies to combat a rogue squad of wacky, dysfunctional super villains. Each character has unique powers to match their super-spy skills, such as heavy firepower, martial arts, bladed weaponry, acrobatic skateboarding skills or pure robotic destruction. This cast of characters may make a misfit group individually, but by utilizing them as a team, the Spyborgs will have the power to save the world — if they don’t blow themselves up first! Engaging players in team-based challenges designed to utilize 2-player co-op play, Spyborgs takes the theme of “team” to a whole new level. In Single-player mode the “team’ theme continues as players jump from one member of the superspies’ team to the next, rapidly tackling different challenges designed around each character’s unique abilities. The game promises fast, addictive gameplay, unique controls offered by the Wii Remote as well as a storyline that refuses to take itself too seriously for a dynamic and fresh gaming experience.
