Game Developer's Conference 09 BTW...HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS

People...I'm a regular guy just writing as a hobby at the moment. I work during the weekend and I'm trying to write a manga at the moment. I can only do so much! So let me apologize for not giving nearly as much coverage for this week's Game Developer's Conference and also apologize beforehand for E3 later this year. There is just too much stuff...oh well. I'll just cover the big boys.

Nintendo:
-New Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the DS. You can cry now. BTW there's a train.
-Nintendo plannins to make DSi hybrid and DSi only cards. If you've been holding out on a DSi, but still are waiting for that game...well...unavoidable purchase?
-Did you ever want to play the old Final Fantasy games on virtual console? Perhaps two new games on the WiiWare channel? Well I only hope you have enough time to beat them all!

Microsoft:
-Don't know what to buy during the next three months? They'll be no summer drought this year!
-Resident Evil 6...LOL. (PS3 Also)
-King of Fighter 12 Tournament in LA. Justin if you're reading this I feel bad for you on this one!
-Don't Stop Believing! If you know the song then you'll be pleased to know this. Hold onto that feeling yeah!
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 announced for 11/10/09. Can they outdo the first Modern Warefare?

Sony:
-PS Home featuring 3 new spaces every month. Have a social time!
-Hideo Kojima will announce his new game at E3. Let's hope it isn't Zone of the Enders Touch.
-Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Announced! Online co-op introduced (omfg!), new boss characters, and new playable characters Ayane and Momiji = undoubted re-purchase of the game.
-Don't have an Xbox or Wii? Pshaw! Have fun this spring with your Sony branded platforms!
-I loved Valkyria Chronicles, it was a cleverly made tactical game. Now there's an anime based on it!
-Stop it Katamari Damacy! Stop making cah-ray-zay games!

PC:
-Hello Kitty MMORPG. Read it again. Now click.
-Guitar Hero World Tour will be on PC this June. Please make some good mods guys!

Forget those platforms! This thing is industry changing:
-OnLive...changing the future of gaming? (Please click both.)
-Pachter...this effin analyst always seems to be right and I wouldn't put this prediction past him.

Okay then people I am tired and can't wait to play my new Pokemon Platinum. I hope the unappreciative no comment readers can find it in their hearts to be like "wow, he wrote a lot...I should probabaly tell him that."

Um...Links on a Train? Still can't comprehend this.

And OnLive? I think it's great for people like you and me who have our own credit cards and money and such. But as much as hardcore gamers don't like to admit it, a large cornerstone of the gaming industry are THE KIDS. Yeah, those ankle biters most gamers seem to hate.

Can you imagine trying to explain to your parents at ten years old that they have to pay ten dollars every month so you can play video games? Our generation might "get it" more than even our older brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, but you can't cater to one half of your demographic and completely alienate the other half. It's great in theory, but I'll wait until I see it in action to really pass judgement.

Oh great, so I have to buy a DSi? I hate these people.
