The Sony and Nintendo press conferences at the Electronics Entertainment Expo ended at about 4am this morning (Singapore time). For those who missed the live video broadcast of the event, here’s a recap of everything that went down during the two sessions. We’ll add screenshots and details once those become available.
Nintendo
New Super Mario Bros has been announced for Wii, which allows four players to play together “Little Big Planet” style.
WiiFit plus announced with several games which would appeal for familes.
Wii Motion Plus is introduced, with increased precision showcasing its abilities with WiiSports resort.
Games such as Tiger Woods, Grand Slam Tennis, Sega’s Virtual Tennis and Red Steel 2 would be using the Motion Plus. A slight mistake, error or bad habit you do in real life, would be reflected in here such as not serving the ball properly.
RPG games such as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearer will be out on the Wii. While on the DS: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days out on Sept 29, Mario RPG: Browser’s Inside Story.
Yoshi is back in Super Mario Galaxy 2 to be released on Nintendo Wii, everyone misses Yoshi !
Resident Evil : Darkside Chronicles which looks like a shooter, Deadspace : Extraction and Metroid : Other M announced as well.
With this line up of Nintendo games, I think it was quite a failure after how Microsoft impressed us with line up from yesterday. The only appealing games would be New Super Mario Bros and maybe Metroid and Red Steel 2.

Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves is being shown case, with impressive graphics and intensive gameplay, although unrealistic at times, but hey it’s just a game.
