Since E3 is next week and I won’t be there, I have nothing to do but make a wish list of things I’d like to see.

1. A DS light redesign
2. An active Hard drive for the Nintendo Wii. This could either be an external USB hard drive or allow SD cards to be used for this purpose (Am I really the only one that has 0 blocks left?).
3. The game Sadness will be released. And if I’m lucky Duke Nukem Forever will be released in my lifetime.
4. Blizzard to surprise us with an August 1, 2008 simultaneous release of Starcraft II, Diablo III, and Wrath of the Lich.
5. An awesome non-turned based RPG from Square-Enix or from any company for that matter.
6. A new adventure game that is neither a sequel or a prequel
7. Google to announce the G-Box gaming console
8. All consoles to ditch their online models and join Xbox live. Why not! Most PC’s run windows, why not have most consoles run Xbox Live. Fine! If you don’t like Microsoft, then they can all join Valve’s Steam. As long as they are all in the same place.
9. Companies to be fined for delaying or pushing back game launch dates.
10. For one of the major console makers to invent an idea I had for a long time. A “Single Avatar Character Model”. What this super-awesome idea would mean is you create one ‘Mii’ or whatever. You would have the option to use this avatar in almost every game available for that console. This avatar would not only keep track of all scores, achievements, games beaten, and your entire history of playing anything, it will also look the same in any game you play. You should have the option to customize this character whenever you want. Treat it like a virtual you. Also when you take this ‘You’ online, other players you meet can view your history of anything you have achieved in all your gaming since you created the character. Plus this way you can say “Hey I remember you from Halo 2, nice to see you again! I see you put on some weight.” It’s taking the Mii/PSN Home idea to the next level. Hey, I’m allowed to wish for whatever I can dream up!
