Save for the fact that the protagonists appear to be a couple of eight year olds who got lost on their way to the daycare center, this trailer for Sin & Punishment 2 has no real surprises to offer. Granted, that may not be a bad thing: the original game was fantastic apart from its intensely awkward control scheme, and one would imagine that this upcoming Wii sequel will alleviate those problems.
Apart from that, the game still looks to be more or less on-rails, still mixes melee combat with hectic gunplay, and is still full of lots of goddamned explosions. Even if the only change ends up being that you won't have to use eight hundred different buttons just to move around and shoot, I'll still be happy.
Looks really cool, but I don't get why Nintnedo didn't show this off at the press conference as well. They had some great stuff, but they need to learn how to show it all off at once. In a sizzle reel trailer like Sony, and Microsoft both do so well.
I need no more news from E3. This is all I needed to see.

You're the second person I saw this week to compare a beloved Japanese company to Valve. I would do the same thing but frankly I don't think that this analogy fits all that well.

Get on a wii, and buy the VC game, best spent points ever.

Why didn't Nintendo talk about THIS at their press conference?
Nintendo's E3 this year is like night and day to last year.
