I am a shadow

Well, Pikmin 3 was announced. That’s it. Just announced. No trailers, videos, or even a single screenshot. So, who knows when it is coming out or anything. It annoys me because Pikimin is a series I like and would like to see how it is done with the Wiimote.

The NPD numbers were released yesterday and Nintendo is back on top. It is the number 1 company in the US, as well as Japan, and probably Europe. The world basically. As a Nintendo fan I should be happy, but I’m not. There are no future games that I care about. Not even Animal Crossing: City Folk. Why don’t I care about that? Because I have no time to devote to a game that requires my attention every single day. I don’t think I could play it again like I did the GCN version, after all, I’m in college now, not high school. But you know what is truly sad about all this. I’m more excited about non-Nintendo Wii games. Games like MadWorld, The Conduit, and the recently announced port of Dead Rising.

And so, I took the decision to buy a HD console. I chose the Xbox 360. Why? Frankly, because of the exclusives. There are only 3 that matter to me from Sony’s camp. Resistance and Killzone are FPSs and well, that’s why there is Gears of War, and Halo. And there is God of War 3. I’m sure it will kick ass but frankly, it is not enough, not now they lost FFXIII. No, LittleBigPlanet is not something that interests me.

So, I’m going with the Xbox 360. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it for 300 dollars. With it I’m getting Gears of War, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, and Mass Effect. And the new Banjo game is too good to pass up because I loved the old N64 ones, I think that influenced my decision a lot as well. Anyway, I’ll be looking for my new console soon.
