What to see from E3 on Wii

Last week's E3 convention had its share of big news regarding the video game industry. While many may be talking about the Microsoft Kinect or Playstation Move, I was more interested in what Nintendo had to announce for their system. Below are trailers for two of their more interesting titles.

First is Wii Party, which is a mixed blessing. On one hand it finally brings a new party game to the system, but sadly it's not with Mario characters, but rather your Miis. In addition, it doesn't appear to have online capability, which is what this genre of games is sorely needing. Still, it's hard to mess up a party game, and if the gameplay is solid, I'll most likely be picking it up. Check it out below:


Then the big news was the announcement of a brand new Goldeneye game for the Wii. As the trailer below indicates, Goldeneye 64 is one of the greatest shooter games ever, particularly for multiplayer. I never really had much of a chance to play the 64 version, but being the Bond fanatic that I am, I am especially excited to pick up this version. And unlike Wii Party, this will have online capability, which has everyone chomping at the bit to get their hands on this. The video below offers you a sneak peek at what you can expect.
