Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



You know what's great about Takashi Miike?

Nothing.

On tonight's Podtoid, we're doing a mixture of E3 wrap-up impressions and some trend predictions regarding casual games and the Wii. As always, we will require reader questions, the best of which will net the person who asked it $25. 

So, feel free to hit that jump and ask away.

Do you think Nintendo will wait till TGS to unviel so-called "hardcore" games? Or will we be stuck rearranging our furnature and waggling to Yankee Doodle Dandy until MadWorld comes out? Honestly, should we be so surprised over Nintendo's casual focused E3 showing? They're making a bazillion dollars off of their "casual" games, thats what's selling like hotcakes now. Do you think if Zack and Wiki and Metroid Prime 3 sold as well as Carnival Games, we might have seen a Kid Icarus or F-Zero? Is it the consumer's fault for buying every minigame collection on the market while passing up on No More Heroes? Discuss.

Do you think the after e3 nintendo statements from Nintendo of Japon and Reggie talking about a GTA for the Wii are like a husband who beat his wife trying to make out with her?

How do you feel about "after-the-fact" exclusive content? Bioshock for the PS3 is going to have things that the 360 version didn't have. Obviously, this is to draw in people who already played and beat it. But does it bother you that you were never given the choices before-hand which system to buy it for (and thus, which exclusive content you wanted)?

FUCKING CASUAL GAMES ARE THE END OF MAH GAMING.

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks people are overreacting to all these new casual games? You'll still get your shitty brown and gray shooters.

Simple question for today, what's your favourite fighting game and why?

And Jim: You may have fapped in the vicinity of Hamza, but who hasn't?

Following the tone of this year's E3, what do you see for the future of the conference? Is it destined to die? Will it turn into a new gamer love-fest? Where will core gamers go to get their news?

Here's my sonnet entitled: I too love the throttle.

Backstage a motley crew prepares
A drummer, the Hamburglar and an elf, together lie in wait
Some suit drones on about Nintendo’s financial affairs
The Camminator begins to speak. Argh! How her voice does grate!

Chinatown and Flying Tomatoes, nothing interesting yet
Animal Crossing: City Life, simply a DS port
Wait, online voice chats?! But with safe friend codes, don’t fret
Some new game about sword fighting, while in a beach resort

Hold on though! Hey, wake up from you’re nap!
The show’s almost over, it must be time now!
Time for the big “hardcore” announcement, No don’t call me a sap!
There will be one, Reggie promised! He made us a vow

See who it is! It’s the man behind Nintendo’s wins!
It’s got to be big if Miyamoto is here!
And look at his spritely face, all smiles and grins
See guys, we have nothing to fear!

What game will he show? Captain Rainbow? Pikmin 3?
Either of those would make me so happy it’d hurt
Ooh! I can’t wait! The stage is just so full of glee!
And so is the audience! Chad Concelmo just took off his shirt!

Tension fills the room as the game is revealed
It’s a new Kid Iccarus No, hang on. Could it be Mother 3?!
But no, it was neither, it came out of deep left field
Wii Music everyone! It’s awesome! Don’t you see?

And see we did, see a new future ahead
Where we are freed from the oppression of gameplay and buttons
Just waggle away! You can’t lose, nothing to dread!
Now everyone can play games, not just overweight gluttons

Wii Sports and play? Hah! Both things of the past
If you can’t figure them out, there’s no need to pout
Because you can have fun with Wii Music! Fun that can last!
I don’t know how you guys can feel at all left out.


On a completly unrelated note, I was replaying MGS2 in preparation for MGS4 and I was wondering, how did everyone come to the conclusion that Vamp is bisexual? I don't doubt that he is, but I was wondering if I missed a codec call or something that verified it. Either way, can't wait to fight him again in MGS4 :)

What do you think about the PS3 exclusive Halo trilogy remake being announced on August 3rd?

Do you think that the battery life of controllers is affecting how much we play a console? I've got a 360 controller that lasts at least 5 hours and a wii mote that doesn't last more than 3. I thought this was interesting since its the first time that consoles have been packaged standard with wireless controllers.

1a: What will Nintendo have to do to regain the lost confidence from the "core" gamers? Do you think they even want to regain what they lost?
1b: What old IP's would you like to see Nintendo bring back out of retirement?

2a: What E3 demo were you pleasantly surprised with the most?
2b: What E3 demo were you let down with the most?

Late post is late. Can Jim do some more Wesker impressions? They are pure genius and Wesker is the future.

Between Nintendo having a lackluster E3 showing and losing a legal battle, how much do they reek of Fail right now?
Mind you, I'm a Nintendo guy.

I just have one request; Can Jim call me a cunt for asking a pretentious question last pocast? I feel like I was denied the true podtoid experience without it, seeing as he wasn't here last time.

Probably way too late to make it in time, (fucking graveyard shifts), but, heard some talk about a Halo 3 tactical type shooter where you don't play as a spartan.

I always thought this sort of thing would be cool and can remember mentioning it to my buddies, "Hey know what'd be sweet, a game where you play as a marine instead."

What do you guys think, would a tactical Halo game be relevant to your interests?

I noted that Jim mentioned he'ld like to get into gaming voice overs, but was wondering if anyone of you was given the chance to be in a videogame what would be your one memorable line to improvise into the final cut of the game. be it fable 2, fallout 3, resident evil 5, etc etc etc.
