I LOVE YOU FOREVER. NO RLY.
UMM... SORRY FOR MAKING FUN OF THE WII! FORGIVE MEEEE!!! *cough*
No really. OMG. New Smash Bros? I'm in love. Watch the trailer. Solid Snake. Freakin' hilarious. Slowly losing... ability to talk in... complete sentences... gah!!!
And OMG. [link] - Music composed by Nobuo Uematsu.
NOBUO FREAKIN' UEMATSU. O_o *dies of a fangirlishness-induced heart attack*
*breathes* - sorry about that guys. But whoa!!! Nintendo's E3 show / day / thing was admittedly sort of disappointing (all they did was talk about nintendogs! Though Reggie was there, which is always a riot. 'Iwata, why don't you handle the taking names - I'll take care of the... uh, you know. *wink*' XD I love how I'm talking about this as if I was actually there... XD I love Gamespot!). But this? This takes the cake. This has me sold. Wii, here I come! XD (uh... as long as it's cheap. PS3 is just a joke. I refuse to pay £350 for a console unless it can cook me breakfast and clean my house on the side. Bloody cheek! XD)
Speaking of PS3, mmm, FFXIII. [link] (weirdly, you can't download the trailer on Gamespot, though you can on IGN. I refuse to link that, though. I have an irrational hatred of that site. XD They've got it on 1UP.com, though, if you're one of the two people who haven't seen it. XD I'm so late with my news!)
I'm liking the look of it so far! Though I can't say I'm thrilled with the idea of a female lead (I thought she was a guy in the artwork O_o ) it all looks pretty cool, as long as there is actually some fantasy in there somewhere, and not just trains and soldiers! It's far too early to tell, of course. And FFXII isn't even out here yet!
OH!!! And *gasp* - [link] of the Abyss is getting a release stateside!!! Which hopefully means they'll bring it over here! *happydance*
Gawd, I love E3! XD

All my uncertainties for the Wii have been blown away and I can't wait for them now-definitely my top choice for the next gen consoles
I always thought the next gen consoles at this stage seemed kinda meaningless-just slightly shinier graphics and...that's about it with few titles that really seem that amazing announced-but the Wii looks incredibly promising with a lineup of amazing games announced
FF XIII does look interesting-liked the music from the trailer-unsure about the 'in game' footage shown-doesn't look turn based, but doesn't look like XII's system either...seems a lot more action RPG meets FFX-2 at a guess, but we shall see
Also yes-total lack of fantasy so far XD and only one character shown
I do look forward to this [and MGS4], but probably won't get chance to play unless I sell my house to buy the actual PS3
And Smash bros Brawl! XD I really wanna play as Meta Knight and Pit, Snake should be funny
...I was... really bad at it. XD
But yeah, FFXIII looks smexy, though I admit I'm a little disappointed the main character is a girl (not that I could tell - I honestly thought she was a guy at first) - I'm a sucker for angsty prettyboys! (Though I've been playing FFIX recently, and WHOA - I love it! Possibly my fave FF so far! XD) And I kinda hope the system isn't turn-based... or as little turn-based as possible. Blasphemy, I know, but... I really suck at turn-based fighting... O_o (except in FFIX, for some reason. ^^ )
WIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! The Smash Bros trailer sold me. XD I've never bought a console just for one game before, but I think I may have to... (especially if tit's around £150 or less, as some people are saying. Damn you, Sony! *shakes fist* )
MGS3 is my favourite-gameplay was very interesting and varied, and I absolutely loved the plot, but I have enjoyed the whole series
Snake Vs. Monkey was funny
I don't mind a female lead in FF, I just have my concerns that at this stage her personality [like her design] may be more driven by these tech demos than the actual story-seeing as only one character has officially been designed so far lol
FF could work with or without turn based, tbh-I'm not one of these people who is adamant that turn based stuff does not make it an RPG, but I must say I often prefer turn based stuff to Symphonia and Kingdom Hearts style smack the hell out of stuff until it's dead
I kinda like fighting systems to have something special or some element of tactics to them, otherwise fights just become so tedious and just an annoyance slowing down the story
FFX battle system worked well, really-nice pace and good animations without dragging them out too much
I hear FF XII is very different, so that should be interesting
I really want Super Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros Brawl and Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii >.> Red Steel could be a laugh too-I do make a point of saying "I really desperately want a Wii" to one of my friends in public
I pretty much bought a Gamecube for Smash Bros Melee originally XD
Plus think of PS3 and it's games. Blue Ray = expensive, meaning games = expensive. D8
Side note: *foams at mouth* Super Smash Bros. Brawl
*wants Smash Bros RIGHT NOW*
