What's up with that?

Anyone who's paid any attention to the Ninty side of E3 this year would have to be a fanboy to not agree that it's been a total non-event. An extreme lack of any really big announcements other than some complete cashin Pokemon games and some terrible GBA link-up things.

What's going on with Nintendo?

They say they've adopted a more aggressive approach an then they attend the biggest gaming show in the world and there wasn't a single thing on show that was really good that we hadn't seen before. Sony announce the Playstation portable, new Gran Turismo game, new MGS game, they announce a massive deal with EA for exclusive rights to the online sports line-up. Microsoft unveil Halo 2, Doom 3 amongst other things.

Where's all the amazing 1st party support from Nintendo?

Oh and to rub salt in the wounds, every single person at IGN says that Mario Kart is too slow.

I hate my English ability.

And I do A-level.

Although I was typing fast.

You die if the body you're possessing dies while you're in it.

From what i've seen there's no more stealth in it than there was in Goldeneye. It's certainly not gonna be another MGS/ SPlinter Cell wannabe.

But it would be great, going through the whole game thinking you're some really shady character and ending up being Mario. Surprises are what make games so good, but there aren't many these days. I was thinking maybe if you were detected it was game over, a bit like a Splinter Cell-esque game.

Anyway, where is this Prime 2 vid?
