The image above just about sums up the content presented from EA to the Nintendo portion of the game market. Yes, Grand Slam Tennis was there, but shouldn’t the “Charm Girls Collection” be shown a bit more privately to investors?
I fully expect our Infendo ninjas at E3 to get some hands-on time with these titles. I know you readers are anticipating an article on Pajama Party for Wii!

I agree that E3 might not be the best place to showcase these kids games, but as a father of a young daughter, I was interested. In fact, I’ll probably be getting Littlest Pet Shop on-line for my daughter, and subscribing to the monthly service.
I think EA decided to take a chance and target a group that really hasn’t been targeted before (thanks to the influence of the Wii). Will it work? We’ll just have to wait and see.

BTW, did anyone happen to notice if they were using the motion plus attachments when they were playing tennis? I looked, but couldn’t really tell.

Thanks, EA. Really, thanks.
In other news, NFS: Nitro is looking pretty sweet. reminds me of San Fransisco Rush– in a good way.

The only game that really got me excited was The Saboteur. Everything else was more of the same.

EA – for every step forward that they take, they go 2 steps back. This is why they rep has gone downhill the past two years.
