This was definitely shaping up to be a big for Nintendo, with the Nintendo World Championships taking the air today. What may not have been expected was Nintendo bringing a slew of announcements for today's broadcast. Shortly after announcing Earthbound Beginnings, Nintendo kicked off its Nintendo World Championships, where Stage 2 was...a brand new Nintendo 3DS game called Blastball.

Blastball is futuristic soccer, but rather than having standard players kicking a ball around, it's competitors in giant mech suits. The players must shoot the ball towards a goal, while picking up boosts and power-ups. As each team scores, their goal will get smaller, making the final goal more of a difficult task.

Look for more information on Blastball soon.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
