Yee-haw! E3 2009 is less than two weeks out, and we have a lot to say about it. With two E3 veterans on the crew, and James getting ready for his first trip to the show, the odd man out is Greg, who moderates the festivities while everyone else tosses out bold predictions.
Will Nintendo make our dreams come true? What lies in store for Retro Studios and EAD Tokyo? Will this be the year of Ubisoft's redemption? Can we fit anymore Activision games into our living rooms? Is Virtual Handheld on the horizon? Will Nintendo announce any new DS games? Listen to the show for bullshit answers to these questions and many more!
Next week: we catch up on Listener Mail and go spelunking with Zelda II: Adventure of Link! Be sure to follow and contribute to the RetroActive discussion in the Zelda II forum thread.

Johnny while at E3 you need to tell Activision to make a Dick Van Dyke Hero, see what they say. They could make it annualizable by using different stars!

I also doubt there'd be a new Pilotwings, the name probably doesn't have much mindshare anymore. Maybe Wii Fly.

Agreed, Swanzy. The next two weeks will be crazy for me, but after that we gotta run some levels.
I would love an excuse to play Left 4 Dead again. Let me know if you guys need another player.
After listening to a bulk of the show, I would like to state that I haven't written my 10/10 review for The Beatles Rock Band. I'm just a big big fan of Harmonix and the games they make.

This was an awesome episode! I love just random ideas like this! I want to play Dick Van Dyke Hero....
Lindy we still need to play L4D one day.
Actually Lindy needs to play LOTRO with me again first, and since he is hiding from my PMs, I'm calling him out HERE.
Oh yeah, week 2 of my pseudo strike of NWR because of no mention of Jungle Speed on the podcast!

GP, best way to get Jungle Speed mentioned is to write an email about it. Tell us why we and the listeners should care.
It is not fun that way.

For the record, this is week 5 of ExciteStrike. There'll be an update on the next episode.
5 weeks of ExciteStrike and 3 years of the Pledge. Be strong.

Highlights include James Jones declaring "Nintendo will definitely not release Mario Galaxy 2" and everyone agreeing that we'd get a glimpse at Retro's next project.
I'm surprised no one kicked around the idea of a new Metroid game being shown.

Surprised? I wouldn't be, Prime series didn't sell, and there was no revival hype to get the game selling either. It's only been 2 years since Corruption. There was lots else from the hat Nintendo could have pulled from.
It's just that every other major franchise was at least mentioned--Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Pikmin; yet Metroid was absent from everyone's radar.
Post by: Jonnyboy117 on June 06, 2009, 03:03:36 PM
True. I was (pleasantly) surprised to see anything about a new Metroid game at all.
"Thrilled" and "shocked" are the words I would use. That one was out of the blue.
