Back when I played International SuperStar Soccer on the Nintendo 64, I built my own team made up of only created players. I then played 2 vs 2 matches with my friends in college. I have not been able to get into any of the newer games because to do not seem to include the ability to create your own players and teams. If all of these features were available today, I would try to get back into the game.

There’s method to our madness

Well, Nintendo, you’ve certainly managed to throw in surprises to every E3, and if you fail this one I might just jump off the Astronomy Tower.

But, Big N is treading on thin ice with the Wii U. Last E3, Nintendo focused more on the tablet controller then the actual console. Sure, it’s innovative, yes, but the controller is just that: a handheld device intimately connected to a solid device connected a TV and external power source, a.k.a. controller, not a console.

Nintendo will also need some good games. I, for one, am looking forward to Animal Crossing: Jump Out, Paper Mario, and maybe a Pikmin 3DS. A return of F-Zero would be nice, as well.

Some more StreetPass and SpotPass games and such is a definite need. The Legend of Zelda would be nice too. Unfortunately, I’m a handheld kind of guy. I’ve never had the time nor the patience for a console. Yes, yes, I may be a complete idiot for that, but honestly: the boot-up screen is so long, and with the DS and 3DS, touching is definetely more accurate then motion control. I find my self rambling now.

I’m a handheld guy (boy?). So, a Legend of Zelda and perhaps a Pikmin for 3DS will be good. I’ve rediscovered the inner Animal-Crossing inside of me, so I’m definitely looking forward to the 3DS one. Who wouldn’t, though, with all the changes.

I probably won’t have the money for Wii U. I barely have enough money for my handheld games as it is (i’m 12, see). Being that, I’ll love seeing the Wii U, especially love the 3DS part, and then at the conference’s end I’ll be heavily dissappointed I don’t have the money. And perhaps a different name for Wii U.

Wii U and 3DS insinuate that they are NOT new consoles part of a new generation of video gaming (the eighth generation, for your reference), but part of the previous generation (seventh generation, Wii, DS, PS3, 360). Don’t make the same mistake, Nintendo, with the Wii U as you have irrepairably done with the 3DS.

Wii U will also a need a lengthy line-up of excellent titles for the launch. And for 3DS, I’m clinging to my desperate hope Atari Lynx games will come to the 3DS VC (i’m a very big Lynx fan. for nearly seven months before i finally got one).

That’s it.

Why is this issue called Without Magic, by the way?

I did hear somewhere that the WiiU’s circle pads were clickable. Dunno if thats true… Guess Ill wait till e3

On my 3DS I’m attempting to finish the pokedex. Currently at 635. Sooo close….

And as of tomorow… Diablo 3

Im picking up 3 titles at launch. Still unsure of what to get aside from pikmin 3 though. The entire launch lineup wont be revealed till E3. Maybe not even then!
