Episode 19 – Epic Mickey

Special thanks to Darren Kitchen for the camera work! At E3 2010 Jenn got her first hands-on look at Epic Mickey, a Wii exclusive coming out during the holidays. She interviewed Matt from Disney interactive and got walked through a middle portion of the game while he talked about many of the features while being coy about others. To top it all off, there’s a Disney-provided interview with Warren Spector about his vision and goals for the game. And, truly, Jenn is very very very thrilled that there is a real lefty mode.

Also, don’t forget to check out the latest Hak5 episode for even more coverage of action from the floor of E3 :)

Episode 10 – Nintendo Wii Introduction

OpenAlpha Episode 10 (re-upload) from Jenn Cutter on Vimeo.

Nintendo Wii Introduction (May 15, 2006)

Jenn takes a first look at the Nintendo Wii and some of the various tech demos available on the floor. More from E3 to come including an in-depth look at some first party games and titles Jenn is looking forward to this holiday season. (6:14)

As is always the case after any E3 it’s really nice to have a few days to let your hearing and voice recover! It took me a while to sort through and pick out the best/most usable footage from my Nintendo appointment to bring you this short introductory episode. Ian tried his best but it’s tough to go from a handycam to an XL2 without a few bumps and a sore shoulder. He was a real trooper!
