Another Wii U tech demo available at E3 2011 was “Shield Pose.” In this rhythm based game, you must block shots from enemy pirate ships in front of you, to your left, and to your right. You must time it correctly and also be in the right spot. As soon as I got my hands [...]

Battle Mii tech demo (Wii U) – Hands-On First Impressions
One of the Wii U tech demos at E3 2011 was called, “Battle Mii.” In it, two Mii players dressed in Samus costumes use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to shoot down the third player. That player uses the new controller and screen to fly around the level in an attempt to shoot the opposing [...]
Doctor Lautrec & the Forgotten Knights (3DS) – Hands-On First Impressions
At first glance, it seems that Konami is simply copying Professor Layton with their upcoming game, “Doctor Lautrec & the Forgotten Knights.” The Nintendo 3DS title feels much like Layton, but it expands on it in many ways. After some hands-on time, I can say that it looks beautiful both in the cinematic cutscenes and [...]
Shinobi (3DS) – Hands-On First Impressions
Sega is bringing back Shinobi on the Nintendo 3DS. I was able to play this brand new adventure at E3 2011, and it feels and looks very good. While, it is not the best looking game that I have seen for the 3DS, but it looks nice. As opposed to many side-scrolling beat-em-ups, you must [...]
Heroes of Ruin (3DS) – Hands-On First Impressions
Square Enix is bringing a cooperative action-adventure RPG to Nintendo 3DS in early 2012 with “Heroes of Ruin.” The demo I played at E3 2011 was only single-player, but the final version will have at least two-player local and online co-op, with a possibility of four players. They are still working on that. In a [...]
Frogger 3D (3DS) – Hands-On First Impressions
Konami is bringing Frogger back for his 30th anniversary in “Frogger 3D” for Nintendo 3DS. While there was a Frogger game with the same name before, this is not it. This 3DS title has a much different feel than the original Frogger, but it is still the core game you have come to know and [...]
FIFA 12 (3DS) – Hands-On First Impressions
If you have read my game reviews before, you will notice that I enjoy a good sports video game. FIFA 12 is coming out on the Nintendo 3DS, and I got some hands-on time with it at E3 2011. While the game looks just all right in 2D mode, it really comes alive when you [...]
The Adventures of TinTin (3DS) – Hands-On First Impressions
While searching the E3 2011 show floor, I ran across a Nintendo 3DS game from Ubisoft called “Adventures of TinTin.” Quite honestly, I had no idea what this was about (sorry, fans; hold back the flames) or what I was doing, and that never changed during my ten minutes of play. Apparently, it follows the [...]
Power Rangers Samurai (Wii) – Hands-On First Impressions
On day two of E3 2011, I got some hands on with Power Rangers Samurai for Wii. In the demo version, I was only able to play with the red ranger. Control used both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. No waggle was included in the controls, which was a major benefit. Usually these types of [...]
New Super Smash Bros. Details Arise
Creator Masahiro Sakurai stated that talk about a new Smash Bros. between Iwata and himself begun as soon as Brawl was released. Sakurai came to the conclusion that a Smash Bros. title was needed for the 3DS. Then Iwata talked to him about the WiiU and Sakurai decided that it would be necessary for a [...]

FIFA 12 (3DS) – Street Gameplay from E3 2011
While it might not be entirely close, here is a bit of street soccer gameplay from FIFA 12 for Nintendo 3DS from the E3 2011 floor. I apologize for the far-off view, as it was difficult to get a good shot. You may want to watch full screen in HD in order to see better. [...]
