New titles for three much-loved franchises, including the first details. Mario's in space!

Mario's Wii title was finally shown in video-form at the Nintendo E3 conference. Titled Mario 128 no-more, Super Mario Galaxy will take the ultimate Nintendo hero to the ultimate step... out into space. Join Mario as he ushers in a new era of video games, defying gravity across all the planets in the galaxy. Mario takes advantage of all the unique aspects of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller, unleashing new moves as players shake the controller and even point at and drag items with the pointer. Players perform mind-bending, low-gravity jumps across wild alien terrain as they experience platforming for a new generation. When a mysterious creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy.

Samus is to appear on Wii with the third and final chapter of the Metroid Prime trilogy. That much, we knew. But according to Nintendo, if you think you knew what it felt like to be the bounty hunter behind the visor, think again. Fully titled Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Retro Studios have again served up some awesome graphics on the title, along with the revolutionary controls. Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with the pointer, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever experienced. Through the eyes of Samus, players can experience a quantum leap in first-person control as they wield the Wii Remote, the ultimate device for the first-person shooter genre. Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball, as well as a bunch of new surprises, to help her survive her coming trials. When the Galactic Federation's Base Sector Zero is under attack by Space Pirates, Samus must boot up the generator to restore the defense systems. But at the end of her path, someone awful is waiting for her. The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages on and across many planets as they attempt to corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and destroy the seeds. Saving the planets from Corruption isn't enough, though. Eventually, players must take down Samus' mortal enemy, Dark Samus.

Finally, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, as the inevitable Wii installment has been titled. Right from when the controller was revealed, it was always thought that it could have been made for a Wario Ware title. And here it is, with about 200 lightning-quick microgames and controls that range from scribbling to flailing, the title takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. All players need is a Wii Remote and their best moves to be the champ. When Wario stumbles upon a strange device called a Form Baton, he and his friends use it to learn new moves that are as fun as they are wacky. With games that are as much fun to play as they are to watch people play, Nintendo is claiming that this new installment will bring the party to its feet. It's hilarious for players and audiences alike. Wario, Mona, Ashley and other familiar characters will return, along with new faces.
