Short Comment- More Short Coverage of E3, Nintendo president calls it Quits

And here goes some more short coverage of E3, "Howlin' Mad" Henry Moriarty style.


1- Outside of E3, Nintendo's President Yamauchi will be calling it quits at the end of this month. Taking his seat is Satoru Iwata, the ex-HAL employee who also programmed cool Nintendo games like Balloon Fight. [ Reuters ]

2- More media on DOA Xtreme Beach Volley (DOAX)- this time, it's from IGN Insider. Those who paid for their services are treated to at least three new images and one or two new footages. Check Ruliweb for the medias, [ Here ] and [ Here ]. (Fixed links.)

3- Anyone remember Capcom's illustrator Akiman? Yeah, the guy who created Chunli. He mentions in his Diary that he's currently assigned position by Capcom as the the art director & character designer for CapcomUSA, and he was sent off to work on Red Dead Revolver at Angel Studios. He can't announce the next project that he's working on, but he hints that he'll be burning a new Rom in three months. His diary is [ Here ]. Special thanks to Namae no Nai Heya for the link.

5- Here goes a more close-up pic of the Non-Japanese Mai shiranui, lol. [ Gamers.com ]

6- Outside of E3 and in the arcades, Guilty Gear XX is out. I played it a bit yesterday, and hoping for some more chance today or tomorrow. Check my pretty lousy post [ Here ] if you're interested. Man, I-No's lose pose is not meant for kids.

7- Tenchu 3 footage available at IGN [ Here ]. Special thanks to Onslaught for the News.

8- And last but not least, coverage of the E3 expo itself in 14 whopping pages of photos, are available at GameSpy [ Here ]. Good work, BenT and crew.

9- Ok, one last link. If anyone's wondering where that insane looking Mario came from, it's in this GameSpy joke article that popped in my eye while I was checking out the E3 expo pics.
