...IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Okay, so they only actually announced three games I'm super excited for, but the last was just about the epicest thing ever. Yes, epicest. I'll discuss my opinions about the three...
First up is New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Well, it was a sweet thing to kick off the conference with, that's for sure. It's basically a 2D sidescroller for the Wii that looks a lot like its DS predecessor but adds the awesomeness of 4-player co-op/versus in the vein of Zelda's Four Swords games. It also showed a new item, the Propeller Suit which lets you fly up by shaking the Wiimote. It just screams potential if you ask me, and it will be GREAT if they add a bunch of characters (the trailer showed Mario, Luigi, and two colors of Toad), a bunch of returning items as well as some new ones (I want to see some suits from Super Mario Bros. 3), and make it differentiate itself from the DS's version.
Next is something of a surprise: another Mario title for Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2. Hax, right? This one will likely be an awesome game just like Super Mario Galaxy 1, but I'm afraid it will feel too much like a rehash. But it has Yoshi! YOSHI FOR THE WIIIIN!
And finally, the HUGE surprise of epic proportions... Metroid: Other M. A new Metroid for the Wii that screams epic. It looks like it will be an early title in the timeline, as Adam from Metroid Fusion shows up in an alive form. It is also going to be a more "mature" approach to the series, and as long as it doesn't just randomly throw curse words and blood in there I'm totally game. Oh, and it looks like it transitions between third person sidescrolling, third person free-roam, and first person free-roam. EPIC.
No Zelda, though. But that's okay. I just really wanted to see Pikmin 3... Metroid makes up for it, though.

OMGGGGGGGG It's GSDS!
Finally.
Well, it certainly took them long enough, but Pokemon Gold's and Silver's imminent remakes have finally been officially confirmed! They are called Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver. Not bad, but I personally think they should have flipped them for GoldHeart and SilverSoul or kept the DawnGold and DuskSilver ideas, but whatever. I can't complain! At all! I'm psyched!
Well they just got announced in Japan, though, so we won't see them translated for a while. Since they're supposed to come out in Japan this fall, I'd wager that they show up in the U.S. 3rd or 4th quarter 2010. Just a guess.
I think the big question on everyone's minds is what they'll add to the remakes. I mean, FireRed and LeafGreen, while still definitely remakes, added the Sevii Islands to the mix (along with all the newer gameplay mechanics, of course) and even officially introduced Deoxys! Maybe Hg and Ss (as I will refer to them now in the same style as "Fr and Lg") will add some new Pokemon Formes? Maybe to correspond with the Arceus movie? Maybe. I'll go ahead and list some more stuff I'd like to see:
-Leaf added into the official plot - In the original G and S (and C), the protagonist (Red) and rival (Blue) from the original Red and Blue show up as a final battle in Mt. Silver and a replacement Gym Leader, respectively. Now that Fr and Lg have introduced a new female protagonist (or "Leaf"), I hope to see Hg and Ss put her somewhere in the story as well. In other news, we'll have Blue's name reconfirmed, so I can't wait (there's been controversey since he was called Green in Japan based off of Pokemon Green and since LeafGreen was called the same thing in all the world...)
-Maybe another region? - Now, G/S/C already have you traveling to Kanto after you beat the Elite Four the first time, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some bonus area added to their DS counterparts, much like with Fr and Lg. Maybe it could be one of the more recent regions re-added? Maybe Hoenn? Eh, probably not, but it's possible...
-Better Underground - Sinnoh introduced the Underground, so why not optimize it to the extreme? It could be Wi-Fi compatible, even! That'd be great.
...Wow, I expected that to end up longer. Oooooh well. I just want to hear them remix the Champion theme to epic DS proportions... I love that theme...
