Oh brother...

Yeah. I was very dissapointed with Nintendo. I finally just said goodbye and turned off the Live Stream.

My *sarcastic and crazy* comments, in order:

There's also another Mario Galaxy title coming out.

Yeah, that conference was kinda blah. Would have liked to see more of Metroid and SMG2.

Best thing was Super Mario Galaxy 2. PERIOD. The rest of it we shall not discuss.

Alright I can't help myself. A WII VITALITY SENSOR!! It looks exactly like one of those annoying monitors that they put on you at the hospital!! What is it for? What purpose does this have it any real game? I don't get it.

Metroid Other M.

That is all.

Agreed, just saw it... makes me kinda want the game...

NSMBW is bought
New Metroid is bought, along with the Prime Trilogy for Wii coming out in August
M&L3 has been out in Japan for a while, and I've played the last boss battle through...methods
Mario Galaxy 2 will be bought, if it turns out to be somewhat different from the original

And seriously, who the hell hired Cammie? Was it because she shares a pronunciation with a Paper Mario character or something?

No, it's because she appeals to the non-gamer masses. Never before have I seen someone die on the first goomba of world 1-1 in a Mario game.
But actually, I was incredibly dissipointed with the show. While the new Metroid looks cool, I'm unsure about the new play style. Something seemed wrong.

Where can I watch all this? Sounds intense, wish I could see it for myself!

The Microsoft Conference is the only one currently available to replay. As Sony is still going on, and Nintendo only just finished this morning.

Microsoft started very strong, but Natal I'm iffy on. Part of me says it's a gimmick to cover ground, another part says it's ahead of it's time, and the final parts says awesome. Sony's version makes a bit more sense.

Nintendo was disappointing outside of SMG2, Kingdom Hearts, FF Crystal Bearers, Metriod Other M, Golden Sun, and like 2 or 3 other titles. I was completely surprised on how they didn't even mention Wiiware or VC and pretty much blew off Motion Plus. That'll be more successful than Vital thing. Nintendo made many mistakes, including Cammie. Just have Reggie out there and Iwata come out and say something better.

Anyways, TOR looks amazing even though it's a cinematic.

@ Tean: I loved the trailer for the beatles, but was it me, or did they look a bit stiff? 4 vocals is amazing by the way.

Of course YOU would. your avatar just says you would be one of those people. I've only seen it on YouTube, though.
But yes, I am desparately waiting for M&L3 as M&L2 seemed to be lacking story-wise. The game was just all-too short.

People said the same thing about the Wii, too. And honestly for the most part they were right. I know lots of people who don't play their Wii nearly as much as other consoles they have.

Yeah, I strongly doubt that PN will be nearly as good as it looks. Microsoft even said, I believe at E3, that this was a project vision of how they want it in future and it wasn't at all close to how it is currently.

The main(very slight) difference between PSMC and Wii Motion Plus is PSMC's camera that allows it to track how far up, down, left and right your controllers are. That's a big thing. It would make Wii Sport's boxing and several other games much more enjoyable. But Natal(at least in theory) is even farther above PSMC than PSMC is above the Wii(Yes even with the Motion Plus addin).

If you want to hold some sticks in your hand for added tactility, go ahead. But you don't need too. And not only that but Natal doesn't just use your hands, it uses you. In the entirety.

But this is all really based on speculation, what we saw and didn't see at the conference, and the impressions of Steven Spielberg(which have some weight) and this guy, Lev Grossman. He got to try out a version of Burnout that was modded(recompiled? reconfigured?) to support Natal. He thought it was a great experience, although he doesn't exactly sound unbiased.

I really think that Natal is real. The brickbreaker game, the painting game and the modded version of Burnout were all operated either by demonstrators on stage or by normal people. How would they fake something like this?

Thire or a staff member, could you edit the first post and add a poll asking who had the best E3, or who had the best E3 announcement? I'd really like to see what the rest of GT thinks but I'd rather not create an entirly new thread.

I was actually very impressed with the beatles rockband cinematic. But their legs seemed a tad bit too long.

And the toby hawk game looked awesome.

I just realized something; Other M might be the long-awaited Metroid 5/Dread, the sequel to Fusion.

Why? If you've played through Fusion, you know that the computer, Adam, was actually her old CO, and always asked her "Any objections, lady?" Looks like we finally get to see what Adam looked like before he died of unknown causes.

I agree. I don't play it as much, but I don't feel like it's a gimmick. Some games yes, others not so much. There's been quite a drought of good wii games, but this summer will change that. High Voltage Software is a good company.

Other M looks amazing and quite possibly be Dread. I was confused about that line in the trailer. And it looks like Samus retired and a new girl took over?

From what I understand, that was Samus in Federation service days, as it appeared to be a flashback.
