Why? Because what I says goes.

[Oldskool]

Yeah I wish Sega would unveil their "Super Dreamcast" or something haha.

But in all honesty, Nintendo always comes up with the biggest suprises. I mean come on Sony and Microsoft are just going to announce their "new motion sensor controllers".. geeze guys, let's play catch up to Nintendo why don't we - while Nintendo comes up with something completely new.

[pepharytheworm]

XSEED because of all the PSP Falcom games they plan to release in English. That is if Sony America doesn't give them a hard time. (which I hope doesn't ever happen)



At least Sony and Microsoft systems are still coming out with actual games. What does Wii have? Wii Sports Resort? Carnival Games 2?

Wait, Mario Galaxy 2 never game out? Then what am I playing. By the way wouldn't Carnival games classify as more of an "actual game" since they are based on actual games at carnivals? You must have meant something else, like; games that "you" like to play:-/

[Oobgarm]

ALS Industries

[FacepalmTree]

Wait, Mario Galaxy 2 never game out? Then what am I playing.

NSMB Wii is way superior to the Galaxy series. Fact. It still doesn't change the (again FACT) that the Wii library is the worst one I have ever seen. Even 3DO and Jaguar had some good games here and there.

[Emuaust]

Skaar will win.

[Ro-J]

Nintendo is going to have a good show. Opinion. 3D could really enhance gaming (again OPINION) and I am really curious about the 3DS. Even Microsoft and Sony may show some cool advances here and there.

I'd have to agree with this one. 1st party DC titles being on PSN and XBLA is the best news I've heard, thus far.

[Bojay1997]

Sega? Really? They haven't had a good E3 in about a decade. I am looking forward to all of the big three having a great E3. Nintendo's actual E3 announcements last year were super mediocre, but they delivered some great titles this year. I am really excited for the 3DS, not because of the 3D, but because for the first time, Nintendo is actually launching hardware that's on the cutting edge performance wise if the rumors are correct. I also believe that despite being late to the race, both the Move and Natal are going to be very impressive and actually advance motion control in gaming.

I'm 35. Waving my arms around like a raving lunatic gets a bit tedious, after 5 minutes. When I bought my Wii, the novelty wore off after 10 minutes.

Motion controls sounded great, in the beginning, but if I want to flail body around like someone having a seizure, I'd hit the gym, or the locar dance club.

IMO, Nintendo lost all credibility with the Wii. They had a chance to get rid of their "kiddie" image, once and for all. Instead, the Wii is now swimming in Disney and Nickelodeon shovelware. I'll bet I can't count the number of Spongebob Squarepants games, on the Wii, with even if I had 6 pairs of hands. In a nutshell - Nintendo is dead to me.

As for 3-D console/PC games, and the 3Ds I can take it or leave it.... 3D technology has been around for decades, now. It seems a bit odd, they're now saying it's the be-all-end-all of new technologies.

I'm sure Nintendo is really sad that they released the Wii, what with all the millions of people throwing money at them and all. Is there a lot of shovelware on the Wii? Of course. Are there amazing games on the Wii? Absolutely. I'm not sure why you expected Nintendo to go after the middle aged gamer audience, but the Wii is not any different in its targeted appeal than any other system Nintendo has released in the US. The difference is that you are now 35 and the target audience is half that age or younger.

Yeah, but most of Nintendo's 1st party titles are really frickin' good. I despise motion controls too, they usually suck and rarely work as intended...but in reality they're either very a minor part of the game (SMG1/2, NSMB, LOZ:TP) or non-existent (MK Wii, SSBB).

Sure, I enjoy a Battlefield or Call of Duty session more than Mario these days, but people that ignore the Wii are missing out on some of the best games this generation IMO.

[Famidrive-16]

I can count all the Spongebob Wii titles on one hand.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Saab is going to win E3... Stupid newbs.

[joshnickerson]

It still doesn't change the (again FACT) that the Wii library is the worst one I have ever seen.

Shit, what? SHIT. WHAT?? Dude, I didn't really believe you at first, but you stating the Wii library is the worst is a FACT instead of your opinion really opened up my eyes. Damn, I can't believe I spent the last 4 years of my life thinking I was actually having fun playing games like Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Excitebots, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Wario Land: Shake It, MadWorld, A Boy and His Blob, Muramasa, Metroid Prime, New Super Mario Bros., Punch-Out, Boom Blox, Dance Dance Revolution, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Cave Story, Mario Kart, Klonoa, Ghostbusters, Megaman 9, Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, Zack and Wiki, Monster Hunter Tri, Ghostbusters, Dance Dance Revolution, No More Heroes, not to mention the countless other games I missed out on in the past downloaded on Virtual Console.

You're right, it's all garbage. I'm gonna go out and buy myself a Jaguar CD instead.



By the way... you're a tool. FACT.

[buzz_n64]

My vote goes to Sega.

Sonic 4
Sonic Colors
and probably other great titles in the line up.

[pepharytheworm]

I found 5 Spongebob titles on the Wii and 7 on the PS2. Do you hate the PS2 also?

[Enigmus]

Active Enterprises Ltd. will be the best, what with the new Action 260 game for Wii. It has 260 games! 260! And they're definitely not shit like the Action 52 cart! LOL

[Oldskool]

At least Sony and Microsoft systems are still coming out with actual games. What does Wii have? Wii Sports Resort? Carnival Games 2?

I didn't state that the Wii was the most fabulous console ever. Just stating the facts. Nintendo is the innovator and always has been.

[G-Boobie]

It smells like goddamn GameFAQs in here.

The companies I'm most looking forward to, and whom I think will have the most interesting presentations, are Konami (which surprises me a bit) and Capcom.

Konami has Hard Corps, MGS Rising, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, and perhaps the rumored SotN sequel. Add in a new Silent Hill HD and there we go. Capcom has MvC 3 and the tiniest, remotest possibility of a Darkstalkers sequel. Hope hope hope hope. Done and done.

I'm going to tentatively mention Square as a runner up, purely for the new game by the Strider gentleman. That looks incredible.

[kupomogli]

Castlevania Lords of Shadow, and perhaps the rumored SotN sequel.

I was interested in Lords of Shadow until that one gameplay video was released. God of War much? I'm not talking about that it's a 3d action/adventure, but literally every combo that we've seen in that gameplay video was basically something that was in God of War.

I hope that I'm wrong and that the gameplay of Lords of Shadow closely resembles but has a deeper version of Lament of Innocence's extremely fluid amazing combo system. But it's got a completely different development team so we can only hope.

Also. The SotN sequel/remake was rumored to be on the PS360, but instead we're seeing this for the iphone and ipod touch. I think this was the rumored SotN all along.

As for me. The only company I care about seeing is Warner Bros tbh. I want them to show some Arkham Asylum 2.

Falcom is bringing the Ys series and Sora no Kiseki games to the US and doesn't look like they're going to have much more to offer.

We already know that more than likely all Sony is going to be showing is Killzone 3, LBP2, Move, Infamous 2, and then let us all know that Gran Turismo 5 is going to be delayed another year.

Atari already announced Test Drive Unlimited 2 for September and that's all I'm interested from them.

We already know Square Enix's line up. It looks pretty lackluster to say the least. The 2d platformer from the Strider designer looks pretty crappy.

Sega's already announced Yakuza 4, Valkyria Chronicles 2, and Phantasy Star Portable 2. The only thing I'm somewhat interested in is seeing more gameplay from Vanquish.

This is exactly my opinion about Nintendo now.

Im hoping for some interesting news from all fronts though. I have found that the gaming industry has become a bit stagnant as of late.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Nearly everything is seeming stagnant of late...

[heybtbm]

Also. The SotN sequel/remake was rumored to be on the PS360, but instead we're seeing this for the iphone and ipod touch. I think this was the rumored SotN all along.

You're getting two games mixed up. Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (HD) is definitely coming out for PSN/XBLA. Completely different than the iphone puzzle game.

[Hep038]

Well it only took 2 post in a E3 thread for people to start a flame war. Nice to see E3 still has an effect on video games....

[swlovinist]

I still think that Nintendo is going to be the innovator and the 3DS is going to be the big thing that people are going to be talking about. I actually think that this E3 will have some good software from all three companies. I dont think that the move or natal will make a big splash at the show. Hardware price drops more than $50 might also have a big impact.

[duffmanth]

I think Sony has the most impressive lineup of exclusives, but all of the major players are looking to have some killer stuff ready to show off.

[kupomogli]

I forgot about that, but it's rumored to be a multiplayer Castlevania game that has characters from all games.

[The 1 2 P]

Trip Hawkins is going to surprise everybody with the reveal of the 3DO2. 3DO will win this E3.

[BHvrd]

That better include floating medusa heads! :D

[Rob2600]

[pepharytheworm]

Well we all now know who want be the best at E3? How could the others do worse then Microsoft?

[Enigmus]

Four (or seven?) words: "Z0MG New Sega System!!1!"

[Richter Belmount]

Nintendo fuck the new motion controllers for the older systems , we know thats going to be the focus of microsoft and sony.

[Smoke]

Nintendo, only because of the 3DS.
