My favorite E3 surprises

Hey, it's been a while, I am out of school and I have hand brace... err casts... no... uhhh... hand things to help my carpel tunel so I guess I can type but trust me it is uncomfortable. So since E3 is goin on this post will just be my favorite things about this year's E3. This list is in no particular order... and it might be kind of short because typing like this is really freakin difficult.

1. Like everything at the Nintendo conference
I was glad to not only see more info on the new Zelda game, but also those new Kirby and Donkey Kong Country games were a nice treat. Not to mention the new Kid Icarus game (finally). I am not really into that whole 3D craze so the 3DS was nothing special to me... but, I hate to say it... I'm checkin the list of 3DS games that will come out in the future... and I want the games... I wish those games would just play not in 3D for my regular DS but I'm not sure if they do, so I MIGHT get a 3DS for the Starfox game, Kid Icarus game, Naruto game, Kingdom Hearts game, Resident Evil game, Sonic game, Super Monkey Ball game, Metal Gear Solid game, Paper Mario Game, and Shin Megami Tensei game... assuming of course that those games really will exist and Wikipedia is not just lying to me again.

2. New Twisted Metal game and Portal 2 on the PS3
Ok, I'm not gonna pretend that I am a huge Twisted Metal fan, I've only played one or two games in the series and that was a long time ago... but honestly the gameplay shown in the G4 E3 coverage looked pretty damn cool. Also, I think I recall hearing somewhere (I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate though) that Valve once said they were never going to make another game on the PS3 ever again, and then at the Sony Press Conference, there it was, Portal 2 for the PS3. I find this kind of funny, but will still most likely be buying it on either my PC or my 360.

What I wanted to see:
- A 3D kirby game:
I was really hoping for a Kirby 64 style Wii game, but I'll be honest, I saw the gameplay for Kirby's Epic Yarn... and it looks pretty damn cool... so at least we get Epic Yarn.

- More about Ape Escape PS3:
Seriously, I want to know more about this game so badly, and if it was shown at E3 then that would probably confirm that it would be coming to the states, but for now, it is still a "who knows?"... good thing the PS3 is region free...

What I didn't want to see:
- Them renaming Natal:
Yeah, I liked Natal better then... what is it now, Kinect? I don't know why but Natal just sounded cooler, so I'm still gonna call it Natal...

- 3D stuff:
Like I said, I'm not to crazy about the whole 3D craze, and that Sony Conference was full of it...

Weekly Jump Post (finally)

Yeah so I can once again read weekly jump so I left off on Naruto Chapter 492 and Bleach chapter 402, so let's get this show on the road.

Naruto Chapter 493

Current Fight: Naruto Vs Evil Naruto

- Ok so we left off as Naruto did that meditation thing under the waterfall and is now talking to like an evil version of himself.

- The evil him says like he is the REAL Naruto or something... You all know how the cliche goes...

- So while Naruto fights his evil counterpart, Killer Bee is off sumo wrestling giant bears like a real man...

- Apparently what Naruto said before when he greeted Killer Bee offended him so he doesn't want anything to do with Naruto.

- So in the battle, Naruto tries to use shadow clone jutsu to outnumber his evil counterpart... but OBVIOUSLY he can use it too...

- Naruto wakes up because he realizes he can't win.

- That cloud village ninja tells Naruto about Killer Bee's past...

- So like he had the typical looked down upon by others Jinchuriki life style, except he was proud of being a Jinchuriki.

- Naruto asks the guide guy to ask Bee about how to beat the evil counterpart but he says he "isn't worthy".

- The guide says he "isn't worthy" because he once tried to kill Bee, and before he could tell the story the chapter ends.

Bleach Chapter 402

Current Fight: Everyone still alive Vs Aizen

- So we left off as Kisuke arrived...

- Aizen is starting to look really freaky with the whole Hogyoku fusion thing, or uhh... Aizen says it isn't a fusion, he is "subdueing" the Hogyoku... or something...

- Aizen attacks Kisuke but it was just one of his inflatable gigais used back when he fought Yammy.

- Kisuke uses that constriction light thing... on Aizen...

- Kisuke uses a bunch of different Kido...

- Kisuke says a lot of really complicated encantations... or whatever their called...

- When it seems like Aizen has been obliterated into nothingness... OF COURSE he appears right behind Kisuke, even uglier thanks to the Hogyoku...

- Aizen talks on for like a whole page about how powerful he thinks he is...

- The chapter ends as Kisuke seals Aizen's reitsu in a way that will make him get severly damaged by his OWN reitsu.

Cannon Spike Short Review

Ok, so sorry about skipping a post there, I totally thought I was going to be home early enough to still type it up but I came home really late and decided not to even turn on my computer for the entire day after that... for uhh... reasons, but hey now I'm back so let's get this back on track. Ok, so I got Cannon Spike and it is FREAKIN AWESOME, like I seriously want an arcade cabinet of this game now, like if I were to get rich the top 3 arcade cabinets (in no particular order) I would want would be a Cannon Spike arcade cabinet, a Darkstalkers arcade cabinet, and a Gauntlet arcade cabinet... Ahh... I can only dream... Anyway, as I was saying, this game is so freakin fun, there are 7 characters to choose from (two of which are "hidden") and those characters are, Arthur (from Ghosts 'n Goblins), Cammy (from Street Fighter), Charlie (from Street Fighter), Shiba Shintaro (from Three Wonders, he is my personal favorite character), Simone (a character made specifically for the game), and the two "hidden" characters (and I use hidden in quotation marks because the manual actually tells you how to pick them on the character selection screen), Baby Bonnie Hood (or Bulleta if your from Japan, from Darkstalkers), and Mega Man (obviously from the Mega Man series). And for an arcade style shoot em' up I personally think that's a pretty good amount of characters. The game is two players, and it's really fun to play with two people, but say if that second person REALLY sucks, then you'll have your 3 credits sucked away faster then you can even pass more then 2 levels, unless you're playing on "baby" difficulty (the easiest difficulty in the game), in which case then maybe you'll make it far, but in my opinion I hate to start a game on the easiest difficulty. Some of the characters have different styles (I say some because I think it's Cammy and Charlie who are pretty alike) so some people will like certain types of characters like Arthur who is a super heavy type, and some people will like characters like Megaman who are faster and more lightweight. Every character also has their own unique special move, and for some reason a move used by pressing the Y button that does like way to much damage then it should (in my opinion but whatever, it's not super cheap since whenever you use the Y button moves you are super open to attacks from every direction). For some reason the stages are like randomly sorted each time, and I have yet to actually beat the game since I usually play on Normal (sometimes on Easy when i want to see how much further I can get) and with like 8 difficulties to choose from, and normal being like the middle difficulty, or maybe it's because I'm not the greatest at the game, it's a little hard to get past like halfway. Anyway, I really like shoot em' up games and I really like Capcom, so this game is just a perfect fit for my tastes, so if you like shoot em' ups and Capcom games, then this is your cup of tea. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have recently discovered the awesomeness of Sgt. Frog and have three more unread volumes of it, and not to mention the fact that I bought the .hack//4Koma manga... so... yeah... I'm off to continue reading.
