Nintendo Keynote E3 2011: Am I late again?

Well at least I didn't skip out on one keynote.

Yesterday, while the Keynote went on, Nintendo uploaded another game for the 3DS Virtual Console: The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX. Go ahead and check it out if you don't have the Game Boy original or the GBC DX version.

Now anyway, the obvious first part is the new Zelda: Skyward Sword, the self-proclaimed Prequel to Ocarina of Time.



Now what's more annoying than sailing on a boat or becoming a wolf? Flying on a bird. I mean come on. I want my feet to kill me as I spend a long time trying to get from point a to point b. I don't want to take the easy way out.

Now, while Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D had no trailer in the panel, it did create a trailer that harkens back to a previous trailer of Ocarina of Time. Take alooksie



But it's not just Zelda getting all the fame. Mario Kart is back, and this time, there's hang gliders, underwater propulsion and customization.



Mario, jealous of everyone else's ability to make a boatload of 3D games, jumps into his 5th 3D game. This time, he adds more tradition to it.



Kid Icarus, who only showed up recently on Smash Bros Brawl, returns as the main protagonist. Please ignore the bulky badass trying to steal Pit's Thunder.



Of course, Luigi isn't gonna let his brother have all the fun, so he's getting a sequel. I hope he pulls a Shaggy and makes a run for it.



And then there's Star Fox. The original N64 classic Star Fox 64 is getting a major facelift. Time to do a Barrel Roll again and make mince meat out of your friends



With other games like Resident Evil: The Mercenaries, Cave Story 3D, Ace Combat 3D and Tetris Online, Nintendo plans on a retaliation over its low prices. So that's it right?

Wish it were. Nintendo saved this for last. The Cafe is now Wii U. Finally, a console system that plays while your family watches Fox News.



Of course, what's a new system without games? Nintendo has shown off the games that will be on Wii U, in which the previews are taken straight from the 360/PS3 versions.



One more thing before I go, it seems a confirmation on a new Smash Bros came out. But 2 things about it

1) This game has been started on, so there isn't any information other than what the announcement came out with

2) In addition to Wii U, a 3DS version is also in the mix. Now you can smash your opponents on the go.

Like with the last two, you can see more info on the panels at Engadget

What's left of E3? We'll talk later.
