With Sony and Microsoft making such big headliners back in E3, the aftermath has left Nintendo a bit unsung. Worry not though, that's what the Weekend Warrior is for, so you can get a quick recap of all things Nintendo that hit the scene this week. Hardware is the name of the game for the past few days, and so we have a one for a pedometer, motion-sensors, and a lie detector.

Team Ninja's Metroid: Other M was one of the titles that caught fans' attention during Nintendo's E3 presentation last week. There have been a few questions, however. For one, would it be a "proper" Metroid game and not a bastardization of the series? According to Reggie Fils-Aime, series fans can rest assured.

Reggie FIls-Aime turned quite a few heads when he announced a new Metroid game from Team Ninja earlier during the Nintendo E3 press conference. We still don't know a lot about the game, but we do have these three screenshots to share with you guys. Check 'em out below.

Ninty fans are getting the big guns at this coming E3 2009 as the bigwigs of Nintendo confirmed attendance for the event. Among the heavy-hitters making their way to the LA Convention Center on June 2, 2009 are Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime, and Cammie Dunaway.

Pikmin game coming soon? Let's do the time warp for a bit and recall Shigeru Miyamoto's words back at E3 2008. "We're making Pikmin" is all that he said pertaining to the much-requested sequel to the GameCube original franchise. Now here comes Edge Magazine with a full-page ad for their 203rd issue. The ad itself is just a shot of a patch of grass, but some eagle-eyed observers have noted that in the top-right hand corner, there's a little purple blob that resembles a Pikmin.

Nintendo disappointed a lot of core gamers at last year's E3 after it didn't announce any new Zelda or Mario game. This year, the company plans to make up for it. Talking to GameTrailers, Nintendo of America chief Reggie Fils-Aime said that they will do a "much better job" at E3 2009.

At the ongoing GDC, Nintendo prez Iwata announced that the Wii is the fastest-selling game console in history. But who cares about that. You'll care more about the new Zelda game, as well as the firmware update that they issued as an answer to the Wii storage problem.

*UPDATE* now with trailer for the new Zelda game

It's about time we rumor-mongered ourselves, didn't we? According to our tip-off, Nintendo's working an a "double USB hard drive" as a storage solution for the console.

Huge thanks to our tipster for the info.

Despite Nintendo's seemingly nonchalant attitude to the gripes of its gamers, Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime assures us that they do listen. That's a comfort to know Reggie, but I'm still waiting for news on a hard drive.

Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime recently placed blame on third-party devs for lack of quality games on the Wii.

In response to this, Victor Godinez of the Dallas Morning News says that Nintendo itself shares part of the blame as well since they were the ones who chose to create the least powerful of the three consoles. More harshness after the link.
