Nintendo schtuff...

Kotaku has a pretty big selection of Nintendo-Related Stuff on their front page that are worth checking out. I just realized that it's kinda difficult to put these all in one section, because some are "Console" and some are "handheld". I'll just leave it here for now.

Nintendo Mega Sneak Peek
Filed under Nintendo

Alright, so here’s how it’s going to work. I got a chance to play around with nine games for the Cube and DS during Nintendo’s visit with me. I’m going to post my thoughts on them in a few short items today. Here’s the list of what I saw:

Gamecube
Geist
Killer 7
Pennant Chase Baseball
Donkey Konga 2

DS
Nintendogs
Pac-Pix
Polarium
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Castlevania DS

Geist and Pennant Chase Baseball:

Unfortunately I didn’t get any hands-on time with this game, because it was such an early build.

Wasn't Geist supposed to come out around the same time as Eternal Darkness ages ago?

Killer 7 and Donky Konga 2

I decided to break these up into smaller chunks because I can’t seem to prevent myself from rambling about these great games. I’m going to wrap up today’s sneak peeks and hands-on with the spectacular Killer 7 and Donkey Konga 2. Make sure you check back tomorrow to read about my time playing Nintendogs, Pac-Pix, Polarium, Castlevania and a game that will change the face of portable shooters: Goldeneye DS.

The rest of them aren't up yet, but there was a link to a Goldeneye DS video, available here:

It looked very fast and the framerate seemed high, but I would say the animation could stand some work. It looked kind of rigid, in my opinion.

So, whatchy'all think?

Errr... there was nothing really new info about the games--it's informative; but missing the "Hey, I did not know that" feeling.

Well I do think it has a a decent amount of "hey I didn't know that" IMO. Specifically this line:

and a game that will change the face of portable shooters: Goldeneye DS

I almost can't believe that, I mean I know I posted pics of it, but that was just for technical discussion. I assumed the game would likely be crap (the console versions are, although this is developed by a different team). This guy seems to be saying its not just good and not even just great but even better then that. Which would be a pretty amazing suprise if true IMO. Also he confirms that Killer 7 really has turned out to be a fantastic game as well. I hope these impressions are legit.

Not that I ever recall. I hadn't even heard of the game till last E3. Heh now ED knew about that long ago back for the N64.

Buts it supposed to come out now in June (was coming out previously in April).

The first Geist teaser was shown at E3 2003, well after the release of ED. Eternal Darkness was supposed to be released on Nintendo 64 btw.
