Other than the exciting Pikmin 3 announcement Nintendo’s E3 2008 Developer Roundtable presented more info on Animal Crossing, Wii Music, and Wii Sports Resort. Thankfully more details concerning City Folk’s online abilities were given including support for Animal Crossing Wild World! Hit the jump for a list of AC details.
We finally have an official confirmation that the Pikmin 3 project exists, and is in development. This news comes fresh from Nintendo’s E3 2008 Developer Roundtable. Take a wild guess at who let the cat out of the bag? Yup, Miyamoto. When the man was asked about a new entry into the series he simply stated…
“We’re making Pikmin.”
That was all that was said, but I’m sure it was just enough to relieve many disappointed Nintendo fans. I know I’m happy.
News of more online specifics have been scares since last Thursday’s confirmation of 16 person online multiplayer. Luckily today has yielded many interviews concerning online features including an voice hat confirmation. The Conduit will support the newly revealed WiiSpeak microphone for online multiplayer. That’s all we know at the moment so stay tuned for more info including gameplay impressions from the big man himself, Blake Snow.
If you’ve been following Nintendo for the past decade you probably know that the company is very sneaky when giving interviews. You also know that Miyamoto has some trouble with that. Here are the five games that Miyamoto has accidentally spilled the beans on at E3 2008.
If there’s one thing I would have loved to have seen revealed at E3 this week, it was a long-term memory for people who frequent the Internet. Something they could download easily and upload into their cortex. Nothing fancy. I say this because, by and large, the apoplectic reaction to Nintendo’s “sell out” press conference has been baffling. (more…)
And these, children, are what shall be referred to as “video games” henceforth! You will smile! I will have order! SMILE!
No one expected to be dissecting quotes again so soon, but if I don’t write about some good Nintendo games during E3, I am going to lose my freaking mind. If I have to dig through interviews for more vague hints, the likes of which are usually pre-E3 fodder, then so be it.
Nintendo broke my heart during its onstage waggle-fest idiot parade yesterday, but the company has dropped some hints offstage that are somewhat encouraging, if you can manage to crawl from the gutter from which it threw you.
In an E3 interview yesterday with IGN’s Matt Casamassina, Shigeru Miyamoto dropped some not-so-subtle hints to encourage Nintendo fans that were hoping to see, you know…video games at E3.

Thanks for staying with Infendo for Nintendo E3 coverage, and please continue to stay with us for days two, three, and beyond!
Gamespot managed to grab the official release date for the just announced Animal Crossing game for the Wii. Animal Crossing: City Folk is set to release on November 16th, 2008. It is still unknown at this time whether, or not Nintendo’s new WiiSpeak microphone will launch on the same day, but it would make perfect sense to have it coincide with the games release.
Now that we’ve seen what Nintendo offered at E3, let’s hear what Infendo Radio thinks about it!
Not bad at all for a Wii game. This might just win top Wii game at E3. Yup, a third party.
Hit the jump for a few more screens from both the Wii, and DS versions. We’ll be sure to post up the official Wii trailer when it hits the press.
Finally a game that can help us guys learn how to make food on our own and impress those girls we have our hearts set on. More Information about this game after the Jump.
