Monster Hunter Tri has come to the UK, and we went looking for some reveiws. Here at the House we have always been a little cynical about these games, but the this franchise which is hugely popular in Japan has been reborn with this latest release. Read IGN's review here, where it was given a score of 9.3.
It has always been seen by western gamers as a bit of a cult franchise, with less of the appeal to fantasy fans here than the likes of Final Fantasy and Zelda. But with a few changes in gameplay, in-game world and a little aggressive marketing from Nintendo it has been vastly improved and will no doubt reach a much more mainstream audience in the long term.
It does much to please its ardent followers though. While the hours-long tutorial levels seen on PSP have been replaced by much more concise and enjoyable explanations of the gameplay, much preparation is still needed for a fight. Fans of the old games will see this as doing it the "right way", you can't just go bombing into a fight with a huge beast without putting in the ground work against bugs and the like. This amount of time spent, though, might still be too much for many younger gamers, though any fan of Zelda may recognise and get the similar principles on show here.

The moment the execs and PR bunch saw the mastermind that is Shigeru Miyamoto enter E3 2010 last week, the floor began to buzz. Having already won the battle for publicity with news of their new DS (the latest piece of handheld innovation includes bigger memory and a 3D camera), Nintendo must have had yet more, and something really special, up their sleeve.

And so they had. Miyamoto revealed that he planned to release another game in the Legend of Zelda, this one set for 2011 to be called "Skyward Sword". He gave a demo of new elements to the gameplay: players charge their sword by holding it to the sky and must hold their nunchuk like a shield to block attacks. Twilight Princess' only less than impressive element was its graphics which would have looked more at home on the Gamecube, and it seems that the Wii will be pushed to its limits with this release.
This isn't the only release we can look forward to from E3. Cult favourite Kirby returns with the brilliantly titled Kirby's Epic Yarn, while Donkey Kong is back in Donkey Kong Country Returns. With news of yet another new Mario game, too, it seems Nintendo fans will be kept very busy over the coming months, so check back for further news!

According to E3, the next generation of Nintendo DS will come with extensive internal memory, enough to allow you to store multiple games on the device. Instead of buying a hard copy of a game, over the past couple of years some DS owners have been downloading pirate copies. This is quite obviously a move by Nintendo to try and combat the piracy problem before it gets out of control.

The latest E3 revealed plans for further installments in the ever popular Mario and Zelda franchises, further news of which we will anticipate with much excitement here! The hottest topic online since the Nintendo showcases, however, are the circulating rumours arising from hints made by President Satoru Iwata that the next generation of Wii may come with 3D capabilities. Iwata said, "We're thinking that the timing should be once the 3D television adoption rates cross the 30 per cent mark. We're looking at the adoption trends". Knowing Nintendo's innovation and their role in the gaming industry as trend-setters, we can imagine they may have some part in 3D TV itself becoming popular in the long run if they do decide to take the first leap.

WiiWare
on June 4, 2010
One of the elements which keeps the Wii the freshest console on the market is the ever expanding and updating WiiWare. With constant additions to the downloadable virtual games, there is something for everyone on it. One of the most recent new releases is the rather simply named Lead the Meerkats. You get split from your pack and must build your own to survive, burrowing for food and taking on enemies. Puzzle games, though, are normally the best on WiiWare, and we intend to try out Voodoo Dice for you. Check back soon for the review!

The Virtual Console releases classic games from old consoles, faithfully porting them onto the Wii. It sees the release of one noticeable title in particular, one which we are incredibly excited about: Kirby's Fun Pak! We at the House were big fans of the Kirby series, and this compilation of six games from the Super Nintendo will allow us to indulge in some shameless nostalgia. If any other Kirby fans get the chance to try this out before we do, let us know all about it!
