E3 is the biggest video game trade show.Someday, he will get me in, but for now, he just tells me about it. His words (edited slightly for spelling and content) follow:<\/p>\n<p>Sorry you had to wait for this. I have been super-busy, But i&#8217;m actually off for the whole weekend for once. Woo Hoo!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So yeah, i played the new <a title=\"Castlevania!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.konami.com\/gs\/officialsites\/castlevania\/\" target=\"_blank\">castlevania for Nintendo DS, called Portrait of Ruin<\/a>. You can switch on the fly between a whip-meister simonesque dude and a girl with a triple-axe thing. You can also call in the other character for teamup attacks. The graphics\/animations are once again wonderful and the boss i played was BIG. It looked great on the new <a title=\"touching is good...\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/systemsds\" target=\"_blank\">DS Lite<\/a>&#8230;and speaking of the Lite, I bought one today. Woot! It&#8217;s tiny and bright (too bright on the highest setting actually).<\/p>\n<p>I also got to play the <a title=\"wii!\" href=\"http:\/\/wii.nintendo.com\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Wii<\/a>, which is pretty neat. It really does follow your movements pretty much exactly&#8230;Like in the <a title=\"Wii Sports\" href=\"http:\/\/wii.nintendo.com\/games_wiisport.html\" target=\"_blank\">baseball game<\/a> if you twirl the remote around before your swing, then the guy onscreen will do it as well. and the nunchuck addon has motion-sensing, too, so in <a title=\"Metroid Prime 3\" href=\"http:\/\/wii.nintendo.com\/games_metroid.html\" target=\"_blank\">metroid<\/a> you fling it out to use samus&#8217;s grappling hook. I&#8217;ll definately be getting one. If you haven&#8217;t seen the <a title=\"Super Smash Brothers Brawl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.smashbros.com\/en\/main.html\" target=\"_blank\">super smash brothers brawl<\/a> trailer yet, <a title=\"The trailer!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7FO83eZdWks\" target=\"_blank\">WATCH IT<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Sony&#8217;s booth was sucked&#8230;Nothing worth buying the <a title=\"teh sucks?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.us.playstation.com\/PS3\" target=\"_blank\">PS3<\/a> for yet, especially at 600 bucks.<br \/>\n<a title=\"Xbox 360\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xbox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xbox<\/a> had a few new ones: <a title=\"Dead Rising\" href=\"http:\/\/ww2.capcom.com\/deadrising\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dead Rising<\/a>, <a title=\"Lost Planet\" href=\"http:\/\/ww2.capcom.com\/lostplanet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lost Planet<\/a>, and <a title=\"N3\" href=\"http:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/n\/nnn\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ninety Nine Nights<\/a> that all look really fun&#8230;plus <a title=\"Lumines Live\" href=\"http:\/\/www.joystiq.com\/2006\/05\/09\/lumines-live-to-hit-xbox-live-arcade\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lumines Live<\/a>!<br \/>\nFunny thing: i saw a kiosk with <a title=\"Vista\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/Windowsvista\/\" target=\"_blank\">Windows Vista<\/a>, and it crashed to a black screen with grey text&#8230;hehe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Phil works in the video game industry, and he got to go to E3 this year.
