im glad ive already givin up on nintendo, because i would have been really disappointed if i hadnt.
@switchxfactor: Agreed

enchantedduck

@switchxfactor: E3's just a place for things to be announced. Don't blame the convention for the developers' lack of giving-a-shit. Augh... That just made me feel worse about it. ...*sigh*...

Griffehpoo

Wheres all the guitar hero info
other sites have it

Zomb

E3 has truly turned to shit... Rockband 2 was the only thing worth reading in all that news.

switchxfactor

that sums it up perfectly

@mr30gZune:
Microsoft Xbox 360. !00%. If anyone says else wise, they are incorrect. Even if you said another console, you are still incorrect.

I want the E3 of 2004 back. That was EPIC. I mean, just think of all the things Nintendo announced: Zelda: TP, Nintendo DS, shitload of games, etc.. I can count the interesting things they announced this year on my non-existent hand for crying out loud.

I really think the smaller venue has killed E3 for good. =/

dagamer34

That cartoon sums it all up. Just perfect.

G4 tv seemed to be hee'n & haw'n over it the last three days...

@atuck: I wouldn't have noticed his comment (a bit buzzed) if it wasn't for your flying dead turkey meal of an avatar. But yeah, your turkey and his comment blew my mind too.

aww but the one liked the most was the drunk bastard pressentation

It really upsets me that they made Reggie white.

Playing Xbox is my only free time, along with 5 hours of blogging on Kotaku. I'm so busy with directing my musing video for my acapella music group and raising my 2 children Smedley and Gruntilda, who I bring shopping with me at the local organic farmers market/antique memorabilia/home made pottery emporium.

Too much?

Admiral Cat

@Admiral Cat:
You lost me at musing.

I'm still pissed at nintendo for not releasing a revamped DS. They just keep playing mind games with me.

mr30gZune

@Admiral Cat: you should get a hobbie.

What do you guys expect, just last year, Nintendo release all their big franchises and this past 6 months they kept doing the same. Mario & Zelda games aren't Guitar Hero which a game every 6 months.

As a 20 year nintendo user, this is expected, and glad they are making new stuff. Even Mario Party is getting redone instead of another bad sequel and that game makes millions.

And the DS sold more than 700,000 in june, why release a new product that might fuck up sales? AS much as I wish for a new one, it's too early for a third model, maybe in 2 years.

VakeroRokero

The Jack Tretton impersonation was my absolute favorite. Something about drunk people just gets you right in the heart.

Cormier6083

The Nintendo press conference was probably the most heart crushing event I have ever seen. They took my love for them, threw it on the ground and stepped all over it. I had such high hopes that Nintendo would show us something impressive. A Pikmin, a.....something.

Sony seemed like they were going through the motions but the MS event at least had some surprising and exciting announcements. New interface (that looks better the more I see of it), Netflix partnership and then FFXIII. All of those exciting and actually news.

M.A.S.

You know from the lameness of the event, if I had blinked, I would've missed the fact that E3 even happened.

phi

Nintendo should have just had an empty stage with a blue flashing light...it would have looked just like me wii over the last 3 months.

Mayor McRib

As go the booth babes, so go the games.

mhlaxp

Shame poor Sony...

DJTripleRRR

@DJTripleRRR: I wouldn't feel too bad for Sony. They made their own bed, they need to lie in it for a bit.

axiomatic

@mr30gZune: He lost me at "Playing Xbox is my only free time". this guy needs to get out more.

zanzibarlegend

@M.A.S.: I think that the PSN Video Store is a million times better than the 360 Netflix streaming/Movie download system. In that set up you pay for XBL and Netflix (most people, myself included are doing that anyway) and if you pay to DL any content like TV shows or movies you can't take them off the 360 HDD. With the PSN set up you pay for only the actual movie you DL and once you do you can transfer it to you PSP and I am assuming PC as well.

Mr.SithNinja

It isn't just E3 that sucks, people need to remember that these are corporate press conferences, so the fact that they are even a little entertaining is a miracle.

And still with the Sony hate, I don't get it. I'm all for bashing Sony when they have it coming (DRM, firmware updates breaking more things than they fix, etc.) but this all out attack on Sony after E3 just seems like pathetic fanboy ravings. Their console sales are really taking off (not that that is a good metric for a good consumer product, but the PS3, and even the PSP trounced the 360 last month), and they have the best games on the way, they announced and then launched that same night a pretty awesome video service.

So lets get some perspective, yeah they didn't deliver Home, and that's embarrassing for them I guess, but lets not confuse what's good for the company vs what's good for gamers.

Kanti_V2

At least Sony had new game announcements, and ones that weren't Uno! If I remember correctly I think it's possible to play that game analog.

HepCat

As far as I'm concerned... it't the booth babe dressing regulations that brought E3 to it's demise.

aec007

Man, I just can't stop laughin at Reggie, xDDDDD

KristenBal

That comic is the best description of Nintendo's press conference that I've seen.

TF2Soldier914

What can you expect for 2 years after the "next-gen" (by the way why are they still calling it that its been 2-3 years already please start calling it "current-gen" or something) started.

hammertime94

@dagamer34: I went to that same E3. Got to play RE 4, saw a FF game in the PS booth, got to play with the DS.

It was a great show. Seeing that Zelda video loop while waiting to play RE 4 or waiting in line to see the DS made those lines bearable.

Roivas

It is all for stockholders. WE do not care about most of the numbers that they spout off during those speeches.

Hand_O_Death

I was really disapointed with Sony's presentation.

I thought we were gonna see a brand new controller, more exclusive games and a big price drop.
