This years E3 saw Nintendo pull out some pretty impressive promises for what we will see gracing our consoles.

Apart from the games that they and their 3rd party friends are bringing out, we saw the Wii Motion Plus unveiled and a new device called Wii Vitality Sensor. And the DSi also gave fans another reason to use Facebook!

Nintendo have promised that the Wii Motion Plus will give you a more realistic physical sense while playing. It can also sense where and how you are holding your WiiMote, and complements many 3rd party releases. Sounds pretty cool to me!

They also say that the Wii Vitality Sensor (pictured below) expands the appeal of video games. It takes note of your pulse rate and any other signals your body is giving out, and lets you know what’s going on inside.

The news for DSi owners sees you having to upgrade your Nintendo system, but once that’s done you can use the Facebook Connect feature to share the pictures you take with your DSi! Because we all need another excuse to use Facebook right?

Now, the good stuff: Games! What can we see coming to the Wii and DS consoles?

For the Wii, Nintendo has pulled out a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2) and Wii Fit (Wii Fit Plus). We’ll also see a collaboration between Nintendo and Team Ninja that will give us a brand spanking new Metroid game called “Metroid: Other M“, which looks incredible but we have to wait till 2010.

We also get a new Wii Sports game called Wii Sports Resort, where Reggie gave us a demonstration of his mad basketball skills against Bill Trinen. You get to try out your archery skills as well as go skydiving! It keeps getting better!And lastly for the Wii, Nintendo announced a new Mario game called New Super Mario Bros. Wii!

DS owners can see a few sequels coming their way with the likes of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story and Golden Sun DS which made an appearance at the conference. There is also going to be a new Warioware game titled WarioWare D.I.Y. as well as a new DSiWare game called Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! (which is available at the Nintendo DSi Shop on June 8th for 800 Nintendo DSi Points). There was also mention of a new Zelda game called The Legend of Zelda^™: Spirit Tracks, as well as a new fashion game aimed at us female gamers called Style Savvy^™.

At the conference we also saw some of their 3rd party releases mentioned which included The Conduit (Sega), Resident Evil®: The Darkside Chronicles (Capcom), Dead Space™ Extraction (EA), Final Fantasy® Crystal Chronicles®: The Crystal Bearers® (Square-Enix) and Red Steel 2 (Ubisoft) for the Wii – but Red Steel 2 is only playable with Wii Motion Plus. DS will see James Patterson Women’s Murder Club: Games of Passion (THQ), Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Square-Enix) and C.O.P. The Recruit (Ubisoft).

For those lucky enough to browse the show floor at E3, they can expect to see all of the above games as well as more Wii, WiiWare, DS and DSiWare releases.
