Right now, Nintendo is broadcasting info on behind-the-scenes stuff. Miyamoto mentioned that the 3DS made Star Fox shooting aiming much easier. I think this probably counts as internal demos, not a game in progress, but we will see.

More updates as they happen.

So what will be there? As far as new stuff goes, we know Nintendo will talk 3DS and Zelda Wii (because they said they would). There will also probably be a lot more detail on Metroid: Other M and Pokemon White/Black. Other than that, I expect a few surprise games, of which maybe one or two will blow us away (Metroid: Other M, New Super Mario Bros. Wii), while the remainder are good, but not wet-your-pants exciting. That’s the formula they followed last year anyway.

In recent days, IGN has claimed that Retro’s secret project was a Donkey Kong revival. Donkey Kong has not had any non-spinoff games since 1999’s Donkey Kong 64 (unless you count the Mario vs Donkey Kong series), so everyone making the argument that “Star Fox must be announced this year because it’s time for the next game to come down the pipe,” have forgotten the huge gaps Nintendo has had for other series, like Metroid. I would say that given the above and the existence of a source even IGN trusts, it’s far more likely that Retro’s project is DK, not Star Fox as many of us had hoped. Either way, there’s no guarantee that Retro will show its project at all this year, so don’t get your hopes up.

This year, for the first time, Nintendo will be doing its own live streaming of the press conference. Just point your browser at e3.nintendo.com and wait for Tuesday morning at 9 AM Pacific. Afterward, I bet they will list all their announcements in webpage form on the same site. I will be monitoring the conference as well, and will do my best to get you the latest Star Fox and/or Krystal news if or when it happens.

This website is now under my care. I have … dealt with the previous owner. Now, Krystal’s true intentions will be fully explored. Krystal can only be with me, Panther Caroso. It cannot be any other way!

Worry not, my dear, sweet Krystal. I swear by the redness of my rose, I will protect you! You have no need for anyone else.

Happy April Fool’s Day everyone! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Writing all that gushy Panther-speak made me feel dirty.

They are trying to raise at least $2000 for the World Food Programme, so please consider donating during the marathon. The World Food Programme’s goal is to reduce world-wide hunger.
