U? (Day Two)

Just got done watching the Nintendo Conference, and I have to say that there were some high points, but they did not hit it out of the park. I was looking for something a little more concrete, but the console isn't slated to come out until 2012. So I can understand it being vague to a point. They kept mentioning the word console, but only introduced the new console name as Wii U. Even though they mentioned the word console, they only revealed the new innovative controller. Its has so many great features. On top of that they have a great slate of third-party games, which is what Nintendo needed to do to step away from the stigma of the Wii. Who knows what comes out of this development, but I am looking forward to it. For more information on everything Nintendo head over to e3.nintendo.com.

That was the meat of the show, but what they opened up with was what my favorite part was. It opened up with a symphony playing Zelda music and showing scenes from all the Zelda games and showed clips of the next game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise. This series has to be one of my favorite series of all time. I was stoked when they were talking about what they all plan on releasing in the upcoming months. Looking forward to it!
