Best E3 was 3DS prison Girls, Donkey Kong Country Sequel, and Kid Icarus. All in the same conference I believe.
And I also believe new hardware years are best E3 years. Oculus 3D Goggle Vision whatever this year will have to do something to impress the person at home, remembering that the 3DS also had this same challenge (but it was atleast at a time right after Avatar had released). Im not saying 3D is unexciting, im saying it will have to be brilliant in gameplay in some way.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
