After NSMBWii, MvDK3, and M&L RPG, I would have bet on a different franchise getting the showcase. Metroid shocked the hell out of me. Now why the "sort of"? Because those announcements made up a small (but significant) amount of the presentation - the rest was utterly predictable. Same people (Reggie, Cammie, Iwata), same videos of people playing games, same reiteration of their philosophy (is there anyone who still doesn't get it?), same corny jokes, overrehearsed delivery, and low key presentation. Great for news, but as entertainment, it was a dud. |
Apparently a lot, considering that Wii dissing is still going on.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
