Ok, this is fucking awesome.

Highlights include Kirby Belmont, Racoon Pacman, Robotnik and Wiley tinkering with R.O.B, and Protoman saving Peach.

If you can find Mario on there, you'd be doing good.

Bombermaaaaaaaan. That's just upped my reasoning to get a Wii (even though it's the only one I'm definitely getting so far).

Well, they probably used secondary characters to appeal to people. Everyone knows Mario, etc. have their games still coming out, whereas King Hippo is a friendly ride into memory lane.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

This has to be the most interesting console war ever.

Theres pros and cons to each console, and as the Final E3(*sniff*) proved, the infighting is at an all time high.

Lets look at the systems.

The Wii, Nintendos competitor with more style than an iPod, and interesting new controller concept... Nintendo is looking to be sleek and stylish as it is fun. Nintendo's Key Concern is lack of 3rd party support.

Next we have X-Box 360. Microsofts hat in the ring of the next generation. The Next Generation is now with MS's newborn console. The best thing about it is that it's owt and developers are making and releasing games for it right now. There is no lerning curve left with the Dev Kit, most companies have figured it out and are using it as we speak. Microsoft's Key Concern is the lack of innovation in their console.... Basically an X-Box with brighter graphics and a smaller controller (thank god)

Next We have Sony, the powerhouse that domonated this current Gen. Sony has pulled all the bells and whistles with their PS3, leaving nothing undone. Unfortunatly this can also be their downfall because bells and whistles cost money and Sony Has the most expensive of all the consoles.

Now, we all remember the spit take we did when Both sony and Microsoft told consumers to buy Wii as a second console. Both had the same basic thought process.

The Enemy of my enemy is my best friend. Nintendo has the strongest foothold in the console market because it's all they do. Sony is an electronics manufacturer that makes tvs and dvd players mostly. And Microsoft.... Do I even need to explain Microsoft?

The point, a console is a side project for both companies. Now Companies like making money, It's a sad fact that we need to learn how to live with, but they also hate competition.

Sony and Microsoft both realise that third party siupport is on their side for the moment, so they will get the most cross platform games. Nintendo is a Console developer/console developer with many Iconic titles... Even without the third Reich... er party (game Nazis) they will still have releases.

Now Sony and Microsoft see Nintendos new console as a way to knock the other out of competition. It's a good fairlyt well thought out plan, that honestly only should have been done by microsoft. Nintendo's console is cheap compaired to it's breathrin, Microsoft's the middle grounde this bout, and Sony is so Highend that if I buy one my wallert will physically bleed, not like a cut or scratch, but veriabler buckets.

Now heres an odd thing. In an odd show of solidarity, the three console giants managed to down E3. after their battle (Which we are still talking about.... I mean seriously you can't buy this kind of publicity outside of a large self contained media showcase) . It was a sad showing for gamers everywhere as now we no longer will get that guiant news overload we crave every year. Now rather than geeking out for three days, we have to, UGH, watch tv, and ARGH, use the internet for something other than porn. and DAMNIT actually read gaming advertisements.

Hopefully next year after the inital rush, because of lack of con, the persons inviolved will learn from the tragedies of this bout and put aside thier diffrences and E3 will live again....

Now finally at the end of all my senceless prattle, I want to post my predictions for this glorious World War Three of gaming. I believe that the third Party will need to bow down to Nintendo's sales numbers, A lot more games for Nintendo will be announcced and released, Microsoft will still have a strong showing but the diffrences between the game playforms will vary too much to the point where developers will need to take a stand between which of these to giants to develop for, and Excluves a gogo... PS3 will either have to lower it's price drastically or fold and go the way of the Jaguar.

If PS2 drops it's price drastically then Microsoft will win the console war as thee third party reigns supreme. Being able to develope all their games for two consoles at once, the one that people can afford wins, and game developers think of Nintendo's console as a weird little toy.

If Sony does nothing with the price they will fold, Nintendo's initial sales push will pull developers from Microsoft and the third party will be forced to split up like the soviet union, each pievce going off on their own and then bonding like a symbiote to their chosen developer.

So far, a lot of my favorite developers seem to be picking Microsoft.

It's the exact same as the last gen. How many developers shied away from Sony and Microsoft so that they could flourish on the GameCube? I go to Blockbuster, I see half a case for GCN games, a case and a half for Xbox, and two whole cases for PS2. I go into game sellers, and the Xbox 360 already has as much case space dedicated to it as the GameCube.

What are your favorite developers, Terra?

Because quite frankly all the developers that are notable that I know of are working on the Wii.

Konami, Square Enix, Capcom, Sega, EA, Ubi Soft.
