Previews
Sonic and the Black Knight
-- Sequel to Secret Rings
-- the game is a platformer with the sword just adding to the attacks and such (e.g. while running you can flick the Wiimote and attack with the sword, ect.). The game is formost about speed and platforming
-- Unlike Secret Rings you control Sonic with the control stick
-- they'll be civilians in each stage that can be rescued which will earn points towards "knighthood" (killing the innocents takes away points).
-- there is an equipment and shop system to purchase weapons and armor
-- each stage contains multiple branching paths
-- the skill and mission structure return but the development team is trying to fix the problems from before
-- some of sonic's "friends" are playable...... but its optional!
-- Nintendo Power predicted the Soul Calibur comparisons, the skeptism and the worry about Sonic having a weapon, hehe.
Dead Rising: Chop till you Drop
-- Dead Rising ala Resident Evil Wii Edition
-- changes from the original: selectable difficulty level, improved save system, larger text, and an episodic game structure.
-- release date: Winter
Ghostbusters
-- takes place in 1991
-- you can select to be either a male or female
-- DS and Wii versions
Little King's Story
-- simulation + adventure + strategy = pure awesomeness. Go watch some e3 videos fool.
Mario Super Sluggers
-- Stages include: Peach Ice Garden, Bowser Jr. Play Room, Toy Field, DK Jungle, Wario City, Yoshi Park and Mario Stadium.
Mushroom Men
-- the DS game is a prequel of the Wii game
-- the DS game is a sidescrolling platformer
-- the Wii game is a 3D adventure platformer
