OMG! Today, Nintendo just held an amazing E3 conference. Some of the highlights:

Donkey Kong Country Returns – A new 2D Wii game in the style of the SNES classic series. It’s like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, except with Donkey Kong! Sweet!. And since its coming out this fall, we may have just found the 2010 signature Nick’s Marathon game! Check out this footage (with an intro from reggie.)

The new Goldeneye is pretty cool as well, although I did really suck at the N64 version! Wii Party and Mario Sports Mix look fun, but I doubt I’d run out to buy them, personally.

The 3DS stuff looked amazing, even as they stressed that it looks way more impressive in person. I was never a Kid Icarus fan, but the new game for the 3DS did look pretty damn cool, and what I’ve read says that when you see the thing in person you’re really blown away by the 3D. Also in the works are a 3D Mario Kart, Contra, and Paper Mario game (ironic, since that character is decidedly 2D!)

And then of course there is the announcement of the newest Zelda game on Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It will use the Wii MotionPlus attachment for true 1:1 sword-fighting, which is sure to be super fun AND make you look like a weirdo as you play. Score!

Great job, Nintendo – not that I ever doubted you, but truly impressive stuff!
