E3 2011: Corbie on the Show Floor - Day 3
Posted by Corbie Dillard
The end of the road
We've had a stellar three days at E3 this year with revelation after revelation, but today it all comes to an end.
The fun isn't over yet though: Corbie Dillard, our man who can, is still taking in as many games as possible from booths including THQ, Natsume, Tecmo Koei and more.

i think Nintendo was done after its conference. I think they showed off the Wii U to early before they had anything worth while to show. Then again maybe they rushed it all thru for E3 as they would have had pretty much nothing to show.

I was never a Luigi's Mansion fan. Seeing that we're getting the DQM Joker sequel makes me want to play the original. I'll be getting the sequel, of course.

@14 been a couple of nice little Gems in there but most already knew were coming still for me 3DS bit of a slow burner hope some of these games will help it to pick up.

moosa said:
Well, I think the Wii U and a pile of first-party 3DS gems is plenty. You just have to understand that the conference is where they do their big presentation, and the rest of the time at E3 is more for showing off at the booths and letting attendees get hands-on. You should expect the big news to come at the conference and more of the impressions to come from the rest.

i think i have a grasp of what E3's all about and as i said i think the Wii U was shown before it was ready to and in a confusing way. Even Nintendo themselves seem not to know what there trying to do with it at the moment im not the first to say that either.
As for the 3DS mixed bag imo some nice new games with some games we already know about that may not be out till the end of the year and some of those games were shown when the 3DS was shown off for the first time.
I Agree plenty of first party games but maybe some should have been out already.
@20 i agree with you on TGS i think and hope that would be a better showing there may get a clearer picture on the Wii U altho i maybe mistaken arent Nintendo notorious for not showing much at TGS.

@15: Maybe he's having too much fun playing it to give us his impressions. After all, Luigi's Mansion 2 is his favorite game at E3 so far.

I agree with Mickeymac ^^ If you see a Nintendo exec, Corbie, can you spam him questions about the game in the US ? So that they at least know there is demand there, that the game sees a release and sells a bit more than if it didn't ^^

"Maximillian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds is one to keep an eye on. Plays a LOT like the original Wario Land game"
That's good news then! By the way: I thought it was simply called Mutant mudds now?

3DS version of SAGA or the stupid newly-announced Wii version, Corbie? Assuming the former, tell me about the THWEE DEE!

Corbs said:
It wasn't supposed to be shown, but I caught Alex at the Nintendo Booth and made him show it to me. And he said the Wii version is gonna have some nice surprises and new levels.

So what's so great about Luigi's Mansion 2 then?
I thought the ghosts actually looked a bit crappy and generic, and the game doesn't seem to have as good real-time lighting and shadows as the original Wii game, which I personally thought was one of it's strong points.

That's actually super all-right! Think about it: If you buy all 6 games on wiiware it will cost you 60 Dollar/Euro's. Now on the 3DS you probably have all 6 games for 50 Dollar/Euro's or less, you have them in physical form (on a card), with bonusses and 3D. I think that's a very nice deal! I'll skip the wiiware downloads and go straight for the 3DS release (when I have a 3DS)!
