Nintendo Announces New Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy, Metroid

Nintendo's E3 press conference was an eventful one, with announcements for a new Super Mario Bros. Wii, a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy, and a new entry into the Metroid franchise by Team Ninja. The new Mario Bros. game will be available for the holiday season, and the other two are scheduled for 2010. Nintendo also confirmed an updated version of the Wii Fit, called the Wii Fit Plus (trailer), due out this fall. A full list of Nintendo's announcements is available, which includes more games and new features. Live blogs of the press conference, with commentary and pictures, are up at Engadget and 1Up.

      At least i can now read comments, last week i was getting "Connection Interrupted" errors in all articles using Firefox, with Midori it would work after a few retries, but it seemed to not read the css at all (Midori passes Acid3 with 100/100)

    >>>Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is exactly the game that is the plague of the Wii. Sure, its a fun game but its not as "solid" as say, Final Fantasy XII which will be released for the 360 and PS3
    >>>

    I'm confused.

    I already have both these games on my older Gamecube and PS2 consoles. Why would I want to run out and buy them again??? Is this what the current-gen systems look like? Just re-releases of games I've already played? No wonder I feel no desire to upgrade to a PS3, 360, or Wii. ----- You know my old 8-bit Atari and 32-bit Commodore Amiga games are starting to look really attractive. They may not look as "pretty" but they are fun, easy to learn, and free.
