E3 is intense. It is a veritable tsunami of video game news. If you need to take a breather and catch-up on everything you might have missed? This is the place. This is everything you need to know about E3 so far.
This post originally appeared on Kotaku.
Nintendo
In a sense we’d been pre-warned. Nintendo’s presence at E3 would be dramatically reduced. Mostly because Nintendo’s focus is the NX, and they’ve chosen not to reveal the NX at E3 this year. Fair enough.
But the end result, for us, is simple: we get Zelda, we get a bit of Pokemon, and that’s pretty much it. It’s probably a good thing, then, that the new Zelda, titled The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, looks absurdly fantastic.

Watch Nintendo’s E3 Presentation Here!
You might be able to find the original reveal here, but I recommend just watching Nintendo Treehouse. They’re playing Zelda and probably will be playing Zelda all day.
Sony
Sony had a really strong showing at E3 in my opinion. Its conference was lean, mean and packed full of games we were already excited about, and a host of new, great looking stuff — including a complete reboot of God of War.
