i think i'v never been less interested in an E3. there is simply no game at all announced to be shown which i'm really interested in. 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.
