While most videogame companies were quick to get the word out on which games they would be showcasing this year at E3, Konami decided that being fashionably late was the way to go.
So, without further adieu, I present to you the official Konami E3 08 game lineup:
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)
Castlevania: Judgment (Wii)
DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 (Wii)
DanceDanceRevolution Universe 3 (360)
DanceDanceRevolution X (PS2)
New International Track & Field (DS)
Lost in Blue Shipwrecked (Wii)
Rock Revolution (360, PS3, Wii, DS)
Silent Hill: Homecoming (360, PS3)
Time Hollow (DS)
Elebits: Adventures of Kai and Zero (DS)
Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore 2 (360, PS3, Wii)
Glancing over the list, I'd say the only games that I'm going to be paying close attention to are Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and possibly Silent Hill: Homecoming, although I've heard some less-than-stellar things about that one.
Looking forward to anything? Konami's press conference will be held tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. EST.
