Written by John Scalzo on July 03, 2007

News: The E3 news is slowly trickling in.

With E3 right around the corner, companies have begun the yearly ritual of releasing their E3 line-ups so gamers know what to initially expect out of the big show.

This year, Majesco is one of the first companies out of the gate and they've highlighted two games for the Wii and one for the Xbox 360 as their big moments of the show:

Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy for the Wii home video game system from Nintendo. Developed by Budcat Creations and based on the popular Tumiki Fighters online game, Blast Works is a side-scrolling shooter that lets players build their own game by creating custom levels, ships and enemy ships. This УstickyФ geometric shooter also lets players absorb the pieces and weapons of destroyed enemy ships to bolster their own defenses during battle and transform into boss-sized ships.

Majesco will also be showing its recently announced Furu Furu Park on the Wii console. Developed by Taito and 505 Games, Furu Furu Park is a collection of 30 stylized arcade games that take advantage of the Wii Remote's range of motion to entertain players of all skill levels and ages. Included amongst them are classics like Arkanoid and Bubble Bobble, along with quirky new offerings like Super Karate, Sonic Blastman 20XX and Safe Cracker.

Majesco will be showcasing its first Xbox 360 title, Kengo: Legend of the 9. Players assume the role of nine famous samurai warriors as they fight through lush high-definition environments in feudal Japan. Developed by Genki, the game includes four gameplay modes including: a deep, story-driven single player Main Mode, specific timed challenges in Mission Mode, 2-player head-to-head Combat Mode, and Xbox Live Leaderboard that lets gamers pit AI profiles against one another via Xbox Live.

Majesco also plans to unveil half a dozen new titles for the DS, which they have detailed below:

Nancy Drew and the Deadly Secret of Olde World Park: The world's most recognizable teen sleuth makes her handheld debut in this interactive mystery from Gorilla Games.

Zoo Hospital: Step into the role of veterinary intern at a world-famous zoo and help diagnose and treat a wide variety of exotic animals from adorable chimps to deadly komodo dragons.

Holly Hobbie & Friends: Featuring the girl with heart, Holly Hobbie, and her best friends Carrie and Amy, Holly Hobbie & Friends lets players enjoy themed mini-games that include: cooking, biking, dancing, designing posters, dressing up and more.

Turn It Around: Players must master the Touch Screen turn wheel in 24 arcade-style games including Elevator Action and Packed Train.

Operation: Vietnam: Developed by Coyote Console, Operation: Vietnam drops players into the war-torn jungles of Vietnam as they try to escape enemy territory with their squad of four soldiers.
