And oddly enough even the Wii U doesn't interest me that much, even though i grew up with Nintendo consoles.

That time has come and gone, for better or for worse. Before, Nintendo and Sega were going at it, now Sega doesn't make consoles and Nintendo is content with sitting in its corner doing its own thing.

Or rather, maybe Nintendo's kinda weeping in that corner for the past decade, seeing as they could have made the Playstation but didn't. (But that's probably an involved story that I don't know the whole deal about, so I'll just let it stop there.) I think after a while, they understood they had to be different to survive, as after the N64 and the Gamecube, I don't think they had the traction to flex any system spec muscle - my friend described each successive Nintendo console as two of the previous ones taped together (i.e. the Wii is two Gamecubes taped together). They just kinda do their own thing now. Maybe developers do stuff for them, that's cool and they certainly don't mind, but it looks to me like they're just fine with making their own console, then making their own games on it and nothing more. Who knows if things will change with the new console, I'm not holding my breath.

But back on topic, E3. Most of the time, I usually hear about games around (sometimes I'm not quite sure how), and not really because they were unveiled at E3. If there's any new technology they're trying out, that's cool and I'm all ears, but other than that, I know where the news sites are.

I second that. ;D

And yeah, not much good is coming out of this E3, sadly. :-\

Some things were pretty cool. Admit it.

Uhh, I did. Sadly, Microsoft and Sony made horrible decisions on what to show this year.

Accoun:
Nintendo conference started.

Pikmin 3, not very interested.

New Mario Bros. Social additions not needed. :-/

Pimped-out Batman AC

Scribblenauts Unlimited

Some trailers - nothing really worth noticing, except Heihachi in Tekken getting bigger with the mario mushroom sound...

Wii FitU - also using the gamepad itself. *facepalm*

Some karaoke with lyrics on the gamepad, not the TV.

New 3DS mario - lots of golds

New Paper Mario - also for 3DS

3DS Luigi's Mansion - shouldn't they be talking about 3DS on a special conference?

LEGO GTA ;-p (not really), still based on LEGO Star Wars mechanic. :-/

Just Dance 4 - Reggie, you are the puppet masters!

ZombiU - 1 bite = dead. Me likes.

Nintendo Land - new Mario Party? Nintendo Home? I dunno...


It finished. Expected more. Actually far more considering they have a new console...

Scotty:
Well, everyone basically showed what they have, minus Nintendo's 3DS conference that will happen tomorrow. Here's my rundown:

Microsoft:

+ Halo 4 has Metroid vibes. The new enemy is extremely cool, and the graphics look great for such an old system.
+ Smart Glass could have huge potential, at this point in time, a lot of people should already have a capable device for the feature.

- Usher ruined the only thing I wanted from Microsoft, Dance Central 3. What an asshole.
- No gameplay on many of their newly announced titles.
- Call of Duty.

EA:

- Everything.

Ubisoft:

++ Watch_Dogs.
+ BoobCry3.
+ Rayman Legends.
+ Assassin's Creed 3 is the best title in the series.

- Corny hosts.

Sony:

+ PS One support for Vita.

- No The Last Guardian.
- No games.
- Wonderbook.
- PS+ still not good.
- No games.

Nintendo:

+ Pikmin 3.

- Current games with shoe-horned Wii U features.
- Terrible Wii U UI.
- Less than stellar games being shown expecting to sell you on Wii U.

Man, Ubisoft won. No one could have seen it coming.
