Boy, am I tired of watching press conferences. With Wildcat on vacation, I had to do all the heavy lifting at LVLs. I hope TEi doesn't cop out on covering Nintendo's conference tomorrow. I'd rather just watch that one for personal enjoyment and not worry about blogging.
I thought Microsoft and Sony were about par for the course, and even a little better than last year. They were a little dull for me, but I figured that was probably because I'm a Nintendo fan, and I wasn't really interested in those games.
BTW, for those of you that live in the US, Spike TV showed both Microsoft's and EA's conferences live. It's likely they'll show Nintendo's tomorrow morning, so if you have trouble streaming it online, you might have an alternative.

No they won't. I found out that they are only showing Microsoft's and EA's. Douchebags.

I'm with Nester on the part in which, since I'm not a Sony or Microsoft Fan, I wasn't excited with the conferences. While I didn't get to see Microsoft's E3 conference, I did read a bit about Halo 4 and Halo 1 remade, and I'm quite the Halo fan meself. Too bad I don't own an Xbox360. But other than that, not really interested.
I was hoping for the Move to be showcased with something new and innovative, but the NBA game really felt underwhelming and the medieval move game kind of felt like a weak LoZ knockoff (or what I could see of it, damn youtube kept freezing at every moment). Other than that, Bioshock looked awesome and Resistance 3... not as much. But the PSVita really called my attention. I'm actually considering buying one by the end of the year, it feels so damn cheap. It'll all depend on the next few months.
As for now, from the audience's reactions, if Nintendo does E3 2010 well tomorrow, it really shouldn't have a problem "winning" this year's E3. But hey, I'm not some videogame expert or journalist, this is just an opinion from a Nintendo fan who's started to open up to the other companies in the past few years (what? everyone knows that the stupidest years of any person is between the ages of 12 and 18).

There's still G4, but I don't think too many people actually get that. Another thing ya gotta remember is that Spike, Microsoft and EA all have something in common. There all Amercian based, Spike promotes American/western content. The winners (and nominee majority) at the Spike VGA's are always western games. Also since no one has mentioned it, Sony's NGP or PS Vita basic wi-fi model will cost $249! (while it's 3G AT&T model will be $299) Damn, that cheap, Nintendo needs to bring out the big guns/support for the 3DS . . . or just a price drop. EDIT: Changed thread title! Also the 3DS system update is out, grab ya free 3D enhanced Excitebike! |

I didn't watch Sony's conference, I needed to sleep. Can somebody tell me what was so exciting about the Vita? I feel like I missed something vital there.

I stayed up to watch it and I don't get why everyone's excited. Sony's PS3 showing was impressive, but the Vita? It's a DSi PSP with a touch screen and a camera... *shrug* Bring on Nintendo. |

Oh well. I've still only used the PSP maybe three times since my girlfriend bought it last year, so I think I'll sit the Vita out until she buys one of those.  |

Haha, I was UP till 3AM watching last night's conference. Anyone get the feeling that LA may be a bloody awkward place to hold E3? I have energy drinks, snacks and e3.nintendo.com/ saved to my toolbar. I believe I am ready! Now to while away the hours before it. What else needs doing on the site... *poke prod poke* |

I have Nintendo's E3 page open as a browser tab. With two monitors and a stable connection, I'm E3-ready!
So... where do we NinDBers talk in?
A bit more than 3 hours to go...

Da Robot set one up on the first page of this topic. I guess we go there!
I found something to do while I wait... I'm working on Smash Bros. cameo pages. Yup.
