E3 - Day 2 Summary

Posted by Phil, 16th June 2010

Day 2 at E3 featured the gaming big guns Nintendo and Sony.

Sony announced their Move motion controller will be be released in Europe on September 19th, costing $49.99 for the main controller and $29.99 for the additional controller (UK prices have yet to be announced). You'll also need a Playstation Eye camera, which currently retails for £25-35. Other big news from Sony included Grand Tourismo 5 finally getting a 2nd November release date and a big surprise from Valveworks' announcing Steam will connect with the PS3.

Nintendo's biggest weapon was the launch of the 3DS handheld gaming console. I'm quite excited about this as it houses a 3D screen that works without the need for special glasses. The system, that also includes a motion controller, can even take 3D pictures and I can't wait to see it in action. Other notable mentions include a new Zelda game for Wii, the return of Donkey Kong Country and a Mario Sports game. Jump over to MCV UK for the full roundup.
