I really was very pleased with that. I was a little surprised to hear that Retro Studios was making the new Donkey Kong Country. Admittedly, I feel a little sorry for them, because from the trailer it seems like they're really being bound by the gameplay mechanics of the older Donkey Kong Country games, but I think that the nostalgia effect they may be going for can be obtained from simply using similar sound effects or graphic design, both of which seem to be very different from the original games.

The new Kirby seems to have very Paper Mario-ish gameplay elements, by using the real world physical attributes of yarn apply to the entire game world. The art style also reminds me of the Kirby game on the SNES. I'm really looking forward to it! It seems like it'll be very fun to play because of the yarn mechanic, and it will overall be a very charming game to look at, too.

I missed the Zelda trailer, but I did catch a few glimpses of the gameplay. I'm glad that the Zelda developers are choosing to really put the WiiMotion+ to use. The items look like they'll be a very fun way to interact with the game world, especially with the WiiMotion+ on board.

Metroid looks lovely as usual.

I haven't played the other Golden Sun games, but I think that now I will so that I can catch up with the series. This new Golden Sun really looks to be my kind of game, and I don't want to be lost once I actually get to play it.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new GoldenEye. During the trailer, before they had shown gameplay, I was expecting it to be either Contra or Ikari Warriors. Then I saw the actual gameplay, and I was pleasantly surprised, but I've actually never really been much of an FPS guy, and it didn't look very good. I have a friend who will love this once they figure out about it, though.

I think what left the best impression, though, was the 3DS. The 3D Camera will be a very fun thing to use once I finally get it, but what I was really surprised by was the amount of games they could announce were in development. Knowing about the Analog Control, Touch Screen, Motion/Gyro Sensors, and of course, the 3D display, I'm really curious how games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid will take advantage of that. I'd really like to see how Adventure games, like the ones that seemed to be pretty popular on the original DS, will work here. I want to see how we'll explore areas now, and interact with discovered objects. I'm also pretty curious how action games, like the new Kid Icarus, will take advantage of these features. Also, those are some pretty sweet graphics! Also, since the 3DS apparently has a web browser of some kind (unless I misunderstood Mr. Iwata), I'm pretty curious if webpages will start making 3DS layouts, to be designed with a 3D display in mind.

I'm really interested in seeing more about the 3DS. It's easily the coolest thing from Nintendo's E3, I think.
