How to Comment: The New E3

E3's finally over, and most people (where the hell is Ashcraft?) made it back to their respective homes safely. So what did we think of the new, more subdued format? Well, seeing as we got to see the old format a couple times—complete with booth babes, loud music, gigantic show floors and weird gadgets—we're happy to say we like the new E3 more. Even without the booth babes. More »

Up Close With the Wii Fit

The Brians over at Kotaku got their horribly blistered feet all over the Wii Fit Balance Board and came out with the impression that yes, this is for exercise. After playing it, their legs definitely felt the burn, which reinforces the fact that it's a "challenging" game made for exercise—instead of being an intuitive game like Wii Tennis where you're supposed to "get it" right away. Hit up Kotaku to see other videos of them doing Wii Fit ski jump as well. [Kotaku]

Hands-on With the Darth Vader Star Wars PSP

Crecente got some hands on time with the Darth Vader PSP, and he says it's definitely lighter, possibly firmer, and has a new UMD tray. The buttons and D-Pad were also tweaked and improved, which is one of the bigger complaints in the old design.

Hands-on Wii Zapper Assembly Video

Ashcraft and Crecente from Kotaku got a hands-on demonstration with the Wii Zapper. The video shows how you put the thing together—a combination of the Nunchuck and the Wiimote—but it also shows Ashcraft demonstrationg his acting chops. The Zapper is actually kind of uncomfortable, seeing as the two grips that you put your hands on are a bit close. It's like holding a Tommy gun, except possibly even more awkward. What's also weird is that the trigger was in the front, and not the back as you'd expect. [Kotaku]

Shiggy Miyamoto Speaks About Future Nintendo Consoles The Kotaku boys got through a series of Miyamoto interviews, where they ask Shiggy about future revisions of the Wii, shortages, the next-gen of the DS, and (heaven forbid) retirement plans. [Kotaku]

Hands-on With Nyko's E3 Accessories

In addition to having the fantastic Wii Party Station, Nyko also had a bunch of other accessories for all three consoles. First, a wireless Xbox 360 Guitar Hero guitar, which is still in the prototype stage and may not even make it to market. Their guitar may hit a whole three months sooner than the official Guitar Hero III wireless guitar, but there are a couple caveats. One, you need a wired controller to hook the whole thing up.

Hands-on With Nyko's Wii Party Station (Verdict: Crazy Awesome)

We just got a hands on with Nyko's Wii Party Station and we can safely say that it's crazy. Crazy awesome. It's got pretty much everything you want to have when you're having a Wii house party, and it's designed cheaply enough ($24.99) for every Wii-owning family to use as an accessory to enhance their gaming.
