iWATA STORY FROM DIFFERENT SOURCE THAN ABOVE:

Mentioned first by Iwata was the new main entry in the Pokemon series. This first main release since 2006's Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, the unnamed title will feature a new land, and new Pokemon. Developer Gamefreak is also incorporating some new play mechanics into the game.

DS players can also look forward to GoldenSun DS this year. This was announced at last year's E3.

Two mystery titles from Nintendo's supplemental earnings report were revealed to be major RPG releases for the Wii. Xenoblade is in development at Monolith Soft for Wii release this Spring. It was previously known as Monado. The Last Story is a true RPG that's being developed jointly by Nintendo and Mistwalker. It's set for release this year and aims to be a new type of RPG.

Wii owners can also look forward to Metroid Other M. Also announced at last year's E3, this new take on the Metroid franchise is being developed by a trio of forces: Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto, Tecmo's Team Ninja, and a visual production team. A teaser official site just went live for the game, which is due for release this Spring.

Iwata provided a glimpse at some of Nintendo's plans for this year's E3. The company plans on showing software for the Wii Vitality Sensor, a peripheral that first saw its debut at last year's E3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the new Zelda will also be shown at E3.

Yay passed my Physics Ultrasound exam, now I need to pass one specialty exam and I am a registered tech.  I have done nothing but study for days, now time for gaming mania!!

I have a bunch of games that need playing, that I have no started, sitting on my shelf, but what do i want to play... Darksiders, which I don't have. Grrrr.

Vader are you doing courses for other ultrasound fields? Ultrasound is used in lots of things, like checking welds for nozzles, checking material thickness's,  looking for flaws in materials, etc. This way you increase the chances of finding a job.

There are plenty of fields in medical ultrasound so that is what I am sticking to.

Hmm Last Story => Final Fantasy

Am I the only one that sees a resemblance here?

P.S. updates done, enjoy. I am a bit cheeky today. Who will get the nerd points.

 Yeah but Lost Odyssey is basically a new Final Fantasy as well. I mean even the battle music is nearly identical.

 No, I meant it like this:

Square was going bankrupt so they made one last game. The last chance they had and they called it Final Fantasy. Of course it become a huge success and it saved Square.

Now Mistwalker had many failures in the past. So they are making one last game. And they call it Last Story. It seems like it is made in the same circumstances as FF, but probably not as dire. The name is kinda the same too. Instead of final it is last and instead of a fantasy it is story.

Ooooh I gotcha.

Still I'm betting the game is very FF, just like LO was. Which is fine by me.

Just go back to your 2600. There aren't any lights there to confuse you.

There's a red power LED on my Atari.

TBH, with the crappy quality I've experienced so far with both Nintendo and Microsoft consoles this gen, I almost want to go back to my simple yet extremely durable Atari 2600, which has never had a single thing go wrong with it in over 20 years.

It's kind of funny you say that.  With the exception of the PS2, no other console broke on me quicker than the 2600.  Didn't make it to 4 years.  Still it's not the nightmare console that was the PS2.  Nothing ever broke as quickly or as many times as that piece of crap.
