E3: Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Metroid... and Final Fantasy XIV?!

So far, this year's E3 has been very good to us old school gamers. Just today, Nintendo announced not one, but TWO new Mario games for Wii and a killer looking Metroid from the Ninja Gaiden crew...







Another big surprise was the announcement of Final Fantasy XIV for the PS3. That's right, part XIII is still about a year away and they're already talking about XIV. I'd be excited -- but it's another online installment like XI, and I really don't care for MMORPGs. (I personally think the main Final Fantasy series should be strictly offline, single-player experiences and that they should save the online installments for a spinoff series. But hey, that's just me.)

So yeah, sounds like a good show so far and there are still a few days left. Maybe Square Enix will drop a Chrono bomb on us...? Maybe? Please?
