This was the first E3 I ever watched on tv.

I remember expecting a Zelda/Mario and being disappointed. Smash isn’t my thing. I loved Luigis Mansion and Pikmin debut!!!! Waverace was exciting. Game boy advance games weren’t too thrilling imo, games without footage also didn’t intrigue me.

Xbox had Halo:CE and the footage was unbelievable. Graphics, seamless loading, real physics, orchestra.. the design on silent cartographer was like nothing I’d ever seen. I remember the person showin it off died on screen, ending his presentation.

Microsoft also pulled out Amped and Oddworld. I was really interested in those, 1st party offerings. Gunvalkyrie was a sega game. I’m surprised it’s under Microsoft on Ops list.

I bought both consoles on launch so it’s fair to say they tied.. but if I’m giving the win to just one — Microsoft it is.
