How can anyone see the vitality sensor as anything good is beyond me... and I can take notice of your appreciation of Zelda... which is why I noted it as something good. Myself, I have no interest in them - they just rehash too much... which is true for all Nintendo games sans Metroid.

 Microsoft is gonna be big as always. Big games, great presentation, and this year is Natal year, and it'll e pushed and demonstrated like it's launch day.

Sony will bring me sequels of IP's that I love and always loved, and, of course, new bloody IP's - something that Nintendo is alien to.

Maybe if Nintendo learned from Sony and SEGA's old first party, they'd be worth something in my eyes today. But as it looks for me today, it's so much sequels and rehashes that I really don't understand Nintendo fans complaining about sequels on Sony and Microsoft's part. New IP's are the way Sony does it and SEGA did it. And their first party kills(ed) Nintendo's.

Ah, and I'm not one bit excited about 3D. I'm just interested in a more powerful DS, as it's my favorite handheld, believe it or not. That's not enough to warrant any kind of victory.

This year is up between Microsoft and Sony, and I won't bet on which will win. Both promise huge lots of stuff to show, and it's just too tough to guess.

Lastly, I didn't write for a month already. I quit and simply retained writer status. Read my old articles and search for the obvious bias that I apparently have. Even if I dislike Nintendo, I never let that crawl into my articles. I have integrity.

@Maxwell: Games leaked, talked about for years? L4D2, Agent, FF XIV, MGS: Rising, MNR, should I go on? None of this was known about until the Sony/MS E3's.

It's a show that is more for gamers than the trade community and its certainly not for "everyone" like Nintendo loves. That is why their shows are always underwhelming and boring until a few good games pop up (Metroid OM, SMG2), and that hardly lets them "win". This year will not change anything.

lol, a thread to be bookmarked indeed. And what's wrong with everyone attacking sequals? who deson't want more gears of war, halo, gt, uncharted or zelda?

We already know about Zelda, the only way to win E3 is with megatons. If nobody has a megaton, then nobody wins. The year before last, MS won with FFXIII. People still reference that megaton all the time.

Last year, there really wasn't a megaton at all. Nobody won, and you can debate the software lineup all you want.

This year, if somone announces a new console(Nintendo blew their load early I'm afraid) or some game goes multiplat, or exclusive, then we might have a megaton, if not, nobody will win and it will be boring. End of speculation.

You were expecting a Metroid console game developed by Team Ninja?

This is what I find funny: Last year apparently Nintendo's E3 sucked (which I find strange as I thought it rocked, I thought it made Sony's Move unveiling irrelevant since a few hours before we got full hands on demos for WSR, and NSMBWii was revealed which went on to rocket Wii sales to nearly 4m in December in the USA ALONE) But I digress. The gaming press seemed to ignore this and bitch about "but there was no Zelda, Nintendo's conference sucked!"

Now this year when Zelda is revealed "it won't matter because now we know its coming" Damned if you do damned if you don't it seems. I can already hear the double talk from the gaming press and anti Nintendo sentiment already, just as Claude disucussed. The E3 I think Nintendo sucked at was 08, every other one has been good to great going from 06-07-09.

But I look forward to the circus coming back to town on the usual venues like G4,N4g and the like. Should make for good theatre.

Lol @ rehashing and sequels when this generation was won in part by a new IP with huge appeal... whatever though seems a lot of people like to live in their own little world

I'm not a fan of that certain tech demo, to say the least.

Tech demo it is not, but you know it's not you just like to say that to get under people's skin and devalue the game itself so you can speak lowly of it and it somehow be "fine" and not trolling at all!

I have been holding back buying a Wii  because of the wiimote and the lack of games

What kind of stuff do you like?
