Anticipating E3!

Oh boy, another long break. I try, I try. Sorry all!

So I promise this entry won't be as random and weird as my last one. I have lots to talk about! Let's get started!

Now that college is done for the semester, I can focus on more important things..... video games! E3 is just around the corner, but it sure is taking a long time! I just know that this will be an awesome event. Can't wait! Here's what I hope to hear from E3:
More information about Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Wii 2, Cave Story 3D, HOPEFULLY another Professor Layton game, Dragon Quest X, Super Mario 3D (not real title), and plenty more but I'm not going to name all of them. These are just the ones I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing about.

It's been 5 years since Twilight Princess, and we NEED to know more about this new Zelda game! Rumors are going around that Nintendo might release it on their new console (which looks extremely unlikely but we never know). I'm all for having a Zelda for the Wii, but all for the new console as well. Only downfall is that we will have to wait even LONGER than we have.

Wii 2 will not be the name for the new console, but many people are calling it that at the moment just to keep it simple. It seems like the controller will have a touch screen on it which sounds awesome! The controller will be pretty big too. Here's some fun pictures people designed for the new controller. Link

Cave Story 3D. I. can't. wait! I've played the original on DSi Ware, however, I have yet to finish it. (right at the end though!) This game is actually a free software game you can play online, but I recommend downloading it on Wii Ware or DSi Ware. It's a slightly better gaming experience. The release for this game on the 3DS came out back in March (?), and already it's release date is June 19th. Here is the box art

Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute BETTER be announced at E3! It's a little ridiculous that Europe got this game, and we have not. It's been about a year since Unwound Future, so it's time for a new one! I would think the Layton games sell well here, so there shouldn't be a problem, right!? Huge fan of the Professor Layton series. It would also be nice hearing about the Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover game! So excited for that! Check out the trailer for it!

Dragon Quest X was announced to be released for the Wii, which makes me super happy since I'm a huge Nintendo girl. They have not said when it will be done or anything else on the matter, so hopefully there will be some information about it at E3. (I'm looking forward to this news more than anything.)

So at the GDC, they talked about a new Mario game for the 3DS. Not much has been reveled, but the title had a tail at the end of Mario. I'm sure that all of you who have played Super Mario Bros. 3 know what this tail is *wink wink*. Really looking forward to this!

So that all I'll go on about for E3. Can't wait!

Now I have some information that might make you all happy. (I know it made me happy!) So Square Enix is celebrating Dragon Quest's 25th anniversary by releasing a collection of games for the Wii! The game will be Dragon Quest 1-5 I believe. They also are giving away Slime plushies as well! Bad news to all this is that we can't guarantee this will come out in America. The release is only for Japan as of now. It would be AMAZING if we could get this! I would buy this in a heartbeat! Here's a link for more information. I'll be super angry if we don't get it! >:(

I have some miscellaneous news to share. I'm finally done with my semester at college, which gives me more game time! I finally picked up Pokemon Black and made it to the Elite Four! (I'm getting slaughtered) I also started Dragon Quest VIII again! I got through a dungeon and working on getting my ship! I also have plans to finish Cave Story before the 3DS one comes out!
Speaking of 3DS, I got one! xD I was actually going to wait for when OoT came out, but I couldn't wait much longer! Plus, I would get tons of Street Passes for my upcoming anime convention!
I only have 1 game for my 3DS; Nintendogs plus cats. I have NEVER owned or played a Nintendogs game before, so this is my first. Love it! Addicting and adorable!
For those considering buying a 3DS, it's worth it. Don't listen to all the complainers who think it's pointless. They know NOTHING. The features are incredible! I had fun playing with it without a game! Theres tons you can do! Also, 3D doesn't bother my eyes so I have no issues with it. I actually LOVE 3D. Please let me know if anyone gets a 3DS so we can trade friend codes! ^_^

Can't remember if I mentioned this in my last post, but I purchased Heavy Rain and Batman Arkham Asylum. Started Heavy Rain but didn't get far at all. I like it a lot so far, but it's slightly depressing. Hahaha. Can't wait to start Batman!

I received my cosplay costume for Franziska Von Karma! It's so awesome. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and document moments!

My brother just started writing reviews for games on this gaming site! They'll be changing it soon though, but please read his review on Portal 2! :D Portal 2 review

So thats about all for today. I probably won't blog till after the anime convention and/or E3. Be sure to follow my tweets for exciting news on games! Have a lovely day everyone! xD Enjoy E3!

-Riss ^^

Big thanks to my brother. I would not be able to provide most of this helpful information if it weren't for him! :D

A side note: I'm working on a new banner, but it's taking longer than I thought! Hopefully by the end of the week!

  1. Now that Nintendo has presented, what are your thoughts? Great Skyward Sword Trailer, Wii U, and tons of 3DS trailers! WOW.
    Batman: Arkham City may be coming to the Wii U. YES! As well as so many other 3rd party developers. This makes me crazy happy.
