See 3D! Tomorrow! The 3DS Conference is Almost Here...

Well, so we're almost here at last. The 3DS is just around the corner. Tomorrow we should find out the release date, price and launch games at the 3DS conference being held in Amsterdam, hosted by Johnathan Ross.

Nintendo are running a live stream of the event, which I shall be watching (as long as my internet holds up -seriously, the amount of downloads I've done the past 2 weeks for my laptop is astounding). The live stream will be available at http://live.nintendo3ds.nintendo-europe.com/ at 2pm GMT.

I'll try to provide a roundup of all the news tomorrow evening, whe we can look forward to placing our pre-orders of what is sure to be a killer gadget.

2011's List of Anticipation

So, now we're in 2011, I'm looking ahead to some of the awesome stuff that is coming our way this year. You thought 2010 was good? 2011 will blow you away!

1. Doctor Who Series 6

I proclaim myself to be the biggest Doctor Who fan in Sunderland, and so it's without a doubt that the next series of Doctor Who is at number 1. With the Christmas special now out of the way, we can fully get hyped for series 6a/6b, as I shall call them. Remember that this series has been split into two, with one half due to be shown in the Spring, and the other due to be shown in the Autumn.

Judging by the trailer, we've got some great surprises in store, including the return of the Ood, River apparently naked, the discovery that Stetsons are cool, and some mysterious symbols on Amy's face...

Finally, we may get some answers to last year's finale and discover the true meaning of the TARDIS exploding and those haunting words... Silence will fall.

2. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2 and Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

When Manga Entertainment announced they picked up the licenses for Haruhi, I jumped for joy.

I've been waiting for series 2 since it was originally aired in Japan in Summer 2009. Yes, I watched every single episode of Endless Eight, coming back every week hoping that it would end; and also trying to figure out how it would end. May people were disappointed with series 2, but I thought it was good enough. Not as brilliant as the first series, but still highly entertaining.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the real jewel. Originally, I wasn't going to watch it via a stream, but last summer I gave in and watched a cinema recording. Yes, the quality of the recording was rubbish, but the quality of the film was pure gold. This is my recommend must watch anime release of 2011.


3. Nintendo 3DS

Ah, the 3DS. We'll soon get to hold in our hands Nintendo's re-entry into 3D gaming, which should hopefully be a roaring success. I've been looking forward to this since it's E3 2010 announcement, and especialy some of the hit titles it promises to deliver. I'll definitely be pre-ordering it soon enough, hopefully with enough cash to spare for a game to go with it.

Tatsunoko VS Capcom Local Multiplayer Battles #1

And so we come to the first video of 2011. It's something amazingly new! I present the first local multiplayer battles I had on Tatsunoko VS Capcom.
