Nintendo 3DS

At the last E3, Nintendo announced a new handheld system. The Nintendo 3DS. Man, those guys just make one handheld system after another. It's supposed to be released in 2011. What is so different from the 3DS and the DSi? The Nintendo 3DS is supposed to produce 3d images without the need for any special glasses (wonder how they're gonna pull that off). Also, there is an analog stick with the system. In fact, it's probably the first handheld system to have an analog stick. The touch screen, however, does not produce 3d images, but it would be cool if it did. One of the first games to come out for it is Kid Icarus: Uprising, the first Kid Icarus game in about 20 years.

Pokemon Black and White

Ah, the 5th generation of Pokemon. To think we've reached a Pokedex number of...well, somewhere in the 500s. These two games were announced May 28th, so the news has been around for a while. It's said to bring out a revolution in Pokemon. I guess we'll see. We only know of the English names of two Pokemon. Reshiram, which will be the featured legendary Pokemon on Pokemon Black, and Zekrom, which will be the featured legendary Pokemon of Pokemon White.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

This game was released recently. It works much the same way as the original Super Mario Galaxy, but with a few added things. For one, Mario can now ride a Yoshi, and that Yoshi can have different abilities depending on what fruit he eats. New items also appear, such as a drill, which allows Mario to drill through planets, a Rock Mushroom, which allows the Mario to smash through barriers, and the Cloud Flower, which allows Mario to create new platforms in midair (Now that is nifty). Super Mario Galaxy 2's reception is very good, with an average critic score of 97.35%. GamesRadar says that despite Wiis technical limitations, Galaxy 2 "understands how to get the most out of aging technology that nearly all graphical flaws are smoothed over or covered up, leaving you with Wii's best looking title yet". That's quite a praise, and is enough to convince me to buy it.
