An Overview Of Nintendo's Press Conference

I guess it's a pretty good E3 for Nintendo; they introduced a new console (albeit without actually showing it OR mentioning anything about price), revealed a bunch of new games, including some very fan-wanted sequels, and played Legend of Zelda tunes with a live orchestra.

Here, in (relative) order, are the games that were either presented or mentioned at Nintendo's press conference:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (recap trailer), The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (recap trailer), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (recap trailer), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (recap trailer)

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - will be on the 3DS eShop later today
The Legend of Zelda 3D: Ocarina of Time - releasing June 19th in the U.S., June 17th in Europe
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (available as a free DSiWare download)
Star Fox 3DS (gameplay demo here)
Mario Kart 3DS
Super Mario 3DS
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Luigi's Mansion 2

Resident Evil: The Mercanaries 3D, Mario & Sonic at the 2012 Olympic Games, Ace Combat 3D, Tetris, Cave Story 3D, Resident Evil: Revelations, Driver: Renegade, Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions, Tekken 3D, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D

Excitebike 3D
Pokemon Pokedex 3D
Super Smash Bros. 3DS
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
New Super Mario Bros. Mii (just a conceptual idea for now)
Chase Mii (also just a conceptual idea)
Lego City Stories

Darksiders II, Batman: Arkham City, Assassin's Creed (probably a new title; unspecified), Ghost Recon Online, Tekken Wii U, Dirt (might also be a new title; unspecified), Aliens: Colonial Marines, Metro: Last Light, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (working title)

Battlefield 3 (coming to Wii U?; uncertain)

The Wii U is hitting stores sometime in 2012; hopefully, in the coming months we will be given details on pricing and shown the actual console.

Also, I just realized - there is a Ninja Gaiden game releasing for a Nintendo system.  A trailer was shown.  And there was blood.  LOTS of blood.  Wow.  Seems Nintendo is going hardcore after all, and I look forward to seeing what their new system can do.

I will update with details, release dates, and videos as soon as I can.

UPDATE: Links to trailers/footage for all games attached; just click the name of the game above to view the video on YouTube.


Note: There are videos with multiple game trailers/mentions; I dealt with this by separating the game names by commas, and making the entire thing a link.  Super Smash Bros. was only mentioned; they likely haven't even started work on the games yet, so you won't be seeing video of those games anywhere anytime soon.
