No, no, no. Don't be confused by the "QuickPeek" in the title. This has got nothing to do with the weekly QuickPeeks we offer you guys. This one's the E3 2009 edition. As in, this is a quick look-back at the things that happened, things that were said, things that would have been better off had it actually occurred -- basically a trip back down memory lane -- on the big 3's E3 2008 experience.

Let's take a look at how Nintendo did in the year following E3 2008.

We finally see something new for the promising first-person shooter game for the Wii, The Conduit. The Wii's slowly stockpiling its list of hardcore titles, but this one was the first to take that jump. See what the game has to offer in a new trailer after the link.

Animal Crossing: City Folk is just around the corner. You know what that means... Wii Speak finally goes live! Via press release, Nintendo has announced that the Wii Speak Channel will be available come December 5 for Europe.

Here's some hope that the Wii could actually support a hardcore shooter playerbase. According to High Voltage Software, WiiSpeak is a go for The Conduit, as well as MotionPlus. I have high hopes for this game. It seems the studio is too - they don't have a publisher yet and they already have a sequel in mind. Details in the full article.

Break open those piggy banks! Then take out US$ 69.99, then... put it in another piggy bank until the game comes out? Anyway, that's the pricetag of Nintendo's Animal Crossing: City Folk, which will be bundled with the new peripheral, WiiSpeak.

The Wii finally gets a voice chat solution with WiiSpeak, which was unveiled earlier at E3 2008. There's not a lot of games known that will use the mic yet, but what can you expect from a new peripheral? So what games will be using WiiSpeak? Answer in the full article.

It was a big week this week, Wii gamers! Ninty's got a lot of great new stuff for us - we have the latest news on the long-lost Wii Music, the new microphone peripheral Wii Speak, and the sequel to Wii Sports! We also have awesome new trailers for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Ghostbusters. Let's get started with this week's Wii Weekend Warrior!

More Wii news coming at you straight from E3. If you're wondering what games to expect for the rest of the year, head on over to the full article. We have the release windows for everything from Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels to the newly announced Wii Sports Resort!

Ok, honestly, I felt that Ninty's press conference at E3 felt a little... lacking. Oh sure, the new Wii Speak peripheral and new details on Wii Music got me hyped, but still, something was missing. Two words. Mario. Zelda. At the event, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata commented that there are indeed Mario and Zelda projects in the works, but chose not to elaborate. The man Shigeru Miyamoto though, was a bit more accommodating. More after the link!

Animal Crossing, which has been confirmed earlier this month for the Wii, received a major update from Nintendo's E3 press conference today. According to the game's director, the game will have a new microphone peripheral called WiiSpeak. You know what that means? Yep, voice chat on the Wii! That and more announcements for the game in the full article.
