Spyborgs is a good example of how games on the Wii can take a little bit of the new and a little bit of the old and put them together into a single, harmonious package. In this brawler, you’ll find plenty of newfangled motion controls that let you crush enemies with a distinctly cinematic flair, but its game design is unabashedly old-school, with two characters running from one screen to the next and clobbering streams of enemies like in beat-’em-ups of old. We took the time to play through a few levels of Spyborgs on the floor of Capcom’s E3 2009 booth.

We take a look at three new events and one new gameplay mode in which Sega and Nintendo characters talk to each other and help each other out. Mass hysteria!

Mario and Sonic had such a blast competing at the Summer Olympics, it seems, that they’re back for some wintery competition. During our E3 2009 demo for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, we got to see a few of the iconic events that the pair (and their respective crews) will be participating in. We also saw a new adventure-style mode that offers an interesting diversion from the sports-themed action.

Nintendo teases us with a short trailer for the upcoming role-playing game sequel.

Golden Sun for the Game Boy Advance and its sequel offered some of the finest role playing available for the system. Today, Nintendo announced Golden Sun DS at its E3 2009 press conference and showed off some unmercifully brief footage in trailer form. Even though we know next to nothing about this upcoming role-playing game, we were still excited to get glimpses of what we can look forward to when it is released.

The trailer showed various quick-cutting scenes and began as the camera panned across the landscape. The Sun Rises Again splashed across the screen, and we saw glimpses of crystal-infused mountains, as well as dragons fighting across the Nintendo DS’s multiple screens. In another moment, a female character flew through the skies on a gleaming winged horse while bright arrows rained down from above. Could there be a dragon versus Pegasus battle in the works? We can only hope!

We’ll have to wait awhile before Golden Sun DS arrives on store shelves: It will be released in 2010. Until then, Nintendo Games Center will bring you information on this welcome sequel for the Nintendo DS as it becomes available.
