The Gaming Geek Post

One of my long time dreams is to go to a video game conference.  However, when I can’t, Nintendo Power does the work for me and puts out a list of upcoming games from E3 that made my inner geek drool, so here’s a post on what I’m really, really looking forward from what NP covered.

1. GOLDEN SUN DS!!! Oh man, I LOVE Golden Sun so much.  I never really had the game myself, but I borrowed GS2 from a friend and played it so many times that I eventually had the dungeons memorized and the characters up to some ridiculous level.  Then my sister bought me GS1 from China, and well …the game didn’t save if I saved it and turned my GBSP off (figures, it was from China, no offense), so I kept my GBSP on for a few days to finish the game.  I didn’t play GS1 as thoroughly as GS2, but I think you get the point that I am a big fan of Golden Sun.  Hearing that a new game (finally!) is coming out for the DS makes me pretty ecstatic.  Please get a Japanese ROM with english pack out soon?  Pretty please?

2. Scribblenauts – the concept just makes the game sound great.  Write a noun and have it materialize in game?  Add words together to make interesting things happen?  It all sounds pretty sweet.  I’ve actually been looking forward to Scribblenauts ever since it was first mentioned in NP (which was last month I think?  I can’t really remember).

3. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days just looks freaking awesome, not to mention I’m a big KH fan.  It’s actually been awhile since I’ve played KH…I should probably go back and touch on Chain of Memories.  However, I’m still really looking forward to 358/2 for the storyline and the gameplay.

4. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers – I’ll put it out there that I’m not the biggest Final Fantasy fan with the exception of Tactics Advance (particularly the first one; A2 never really appealed to me).  I guess I don’t really have the patience for turn-based RPG (yes, blasphemy I know).  However, there’s just something about NP’s description of Crystal Bearers that makes it sound like a Final Fantasy game I would enjoy.

5. And of course the oh so enigmatic new Legend of Zelda game.  Not Spirit Tracks, the big one for the Wii.  There’s something about its poster in NP that automatically attracted me.  Waaah suspense ;_;

Those are the games from NP’s “Best of E3″ article that caught my eye.  Of course everything looks good, and if I could I would try to play through every single game that was previewed, but I’ll limit myself to a select few.

…GOLDEN SUN DS PLEASE COME OUT FASTER!!
