So after lurking around, heard that it's going on. Or soon, I hardly pay attention
Just gonna be saying on what I'm hoping for more info on.
I'm probably just going to be waiting for news from Namco-Bandai for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and maybe EA's Need for Speed: The Run. I guess Battlefield 3 also.
Assault Horizon made me rage when the trailer first came out, then it turned into "Fine Namco. Change the game, but you better not screw this up. " I want a demo for it so badly though, since they changed the gameplay up and I'd like to get used to the physics as quickly as possible.
NFS:TR feels a slap in the face. It looks cool and all, but I sincerely hoped EA had changed, and they seem to continue to milk the series almost like what Activision does for Call of Duty. While the burden isn't on just one developer alone now, I really hate this revolving door of new games they seem to send out with little support. :/
Oh, I guess there's Battlefield 3, which seems nice. I want a gun list for that badly. =( Sure, it'll fall down upon the category of "lolanotherFPS" but... at least it's entirely new unlike MW3 which has been using the same game engine since like... 2006. There's the saying "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" but seriously... get with the times. There's always room for improvement. /endrant

I'm actually looking forward to news on Skyward Sword. We've heard very little on it since last year's E3, and I'm stoked to see what Miyamoto has in store for it. :3
I'm surprised they're not previewing a Castlevania title at E3. Last year saw Lords of Shadow and Harmony of Despair. I'm curious to see where the series will go next. ^^

Microsoft just did their E3 conference. Things they had:
- Voice activated menu scrolling via the headset. The thing is, the woman who was demonstrating it just looked so bored...
- Kinect games. ALOT of Kinect games. Ryse, Star Wars (booo Clone Wars booo), a Disney game where you can 'explore' the parks and play minigames, a Kinect Party which was basically (according to my brother) a reskin of the Disney game, and a Sesame Street game. So mainly for the kidlets.
- Halo 4 (WHY) and Halo: Anniversary edition.
- Forza 4, a racing game my brother has taken a interest in.
Next up, Sony's 5 hour conference!

Notes from watching the live Nintendo Coverage!
Begins with orchestra of Zelda theme. Shots of the maps, gameplay...Switches to Ganon's theme and Ganon, then Zelda's theme and shots of her. Sooo pretty~
OoT 3DS shots~
Shots for Skyward! Zelda's in there, but she isn't princess like it seems. Her outfit didn't seem it. She and Link were flying on birds, but a blast happens and she falls to the chaotic world, about to be eaten by a giant monster. Flying on bird replaces the horse it seems.
Quick shot of the bad guy...VAATI IS THAT YOU?
Miyamoto comes up on stage, they talk about the 25th anniversary
They use the Orchestra to imitate sound effects. Miyamoto pretends to get an item from a chest.
Link's Awakening for the 3DS, OoT 3D has Master Quest and a Boss Challenge, and 4 Swords gonna be on the DSi ware, FREE!
Skyward Sword coming out holiday season, special gold Wiimote for preorder!
Sweet, concerts for the 25th anniversary worldwide.
Music CDs - One for OoT 3DS via registry on Club Nintendo, and the other based off the concerts for the 25th anniversary, possibly with Skyward Sword.
Miyamoto and his translator leave the stage, the orchestra plays more Zelda music.
What's next?
Satoru Iwata comes onto the stage now! Talking about the DS and Wii...Is this the Cafe reveal?
He mentions that boundaries are being erased, yay!
Game platform for both Casual and Hardcore...Time for the reveal!
Deeper game experiences, wider views for casual gamers.
Still gotta wait a bit for the reveal...dang. But it's gonna come out next year.
3DS stuff time?
Mario Kart! The display looks amazing right about now.
Star Fox! With Do a Barrel Roll!
Mario bros! Tanuki Suit!
Kid Icarus!
Luigi's Mansion Two! *screamed*
Reggie's turn!
Wow, Reggie looks serious for once.
Time for some gameplay videos! First for Mario Kart.
Looks like coins are gonna play a role again. Oh hey, Maple Treeway! Hang gliding and underwater races! They're all part of the car, and you can trick out the car, wheels, and other parts. Game coming out Holiday season.
Star Fox's turn. Buttons for traditional control or using the Gyro Sensor to turn the sytem to turn the airship. Lol, 3DS cameras are gonna show the player's faces. Coming out September!
Mario's newest game - First 3D mario adventure created from scratch. Looks like the Tanuki Suit is playing a huge role this time. The title has the tail for pete's sake! The 3D looks amazing. Almost like Galaxy. 8-Bit Mario too! It's coming out sometime this year.
Kid Icarus: Uprising! Whoa, voice acting and other characters! And He's got a gun it looks like? And multiplayer, too! Like Dissidia! Heh, looks like there's gonna be a card game with the Augmented Reality. Coming out later this year.
Luigi's Mansion 2! Fuck yeah! New mansion it looks like, new ghost designs... Some sort of super flash light? Dude he's exploring a mummy tomb! Entirely new game, several mansions!
3rd Party games now: Resident Evil, Mario and Sonic, Ace Combat, Tetris, Cave Story, Resident Evil again, Driver Renegade, Pacman and Galaga, Tekken, Metal Gear Solid:Snake Eater. But there's more, according to Reggie. That's just a piece of it.
eshop will have trailers and demos! Virtual Console too, portable games are gonna be on them, and some console games. Free 3D version of Excite Bike.
He's talking about the PokeDex 3D!
Uh-oh, uh-oh! Project Cafe time!
Talking about Wii = We
Gonna screencap the system when I see it.
Wii-U! Wow, the controller looks like a tablet! And it has a screen! Time for some gameplay... Wow, looks like you can switch from the screen to the game! And it is a Tablet!! You can use the screen to get two perspectives, and to aim...You can even call people! Internet, and so much more! New Zelda, too, or Twilight Princess?
Iwata comes back up to talk more about the Wii-U. The other Wii-controls will be used along with it, too. Two analog pads, ZR and ZL buttons...And a gyro sensor too, like the 3DS!
It's not designed to be a portable game system, since it has to be connected to the Wii wirelessly.
It's gonna have high quality stuff on the screen.
Some games...? Miyamoto's on the screen now, talking about the Wii-U in a 'interview'. There's gonna be a text version of the interview on e3.nintendo.com
Sakurai is mentioned...SMASH BROTHERS FOR WII-U AND 3DS! FUCK YEAH!
Wii-U software at the Conference, but just interactive demonstrations. Reggie's gonna do something methinks. We see a bird flying in Rural Japan with a Cherry Blossom, it falls to the water...It looks very pretty.
New Super Mario Brothers Mii! You can play with Mario!
Gyro Sensor's gonna play a role again, like looking around. Chase Mii too, with different worlds depending on what controller you're using. A cartoony shooter too, again it's dependant on the controller. One title for the Wii-U is a Lego game - City Stories.
3rd Party developers talking about it, about what they're planning. They love it! Darksiders 2, Tekken, Batman Arkham City, Assasin's Creed, Ghost Recon...Dirt (racing game), Aliens Colonial Marines, Metro Last Night...Lots of shooters again. But it balances out methinks. Lol you can draw on Tekken fighter's faces and put things on their clothes. Ninja Gaiden 3. This system holds a lot of promise!
Reggie and Iwata come back up, and the CEO of EA is invited on stage. Seems EA and Nintendo have good blood between them. Talking about sports though, bleh.
Reggie's back, talking about the DS, Wii, 3DS, and Wii U. Think about what they represent together. Innovation!
Reggie finishes up the event, and the screen behind him shows off the titles of new games, including a few new ones - Dragon Quest Monsters 2, Two Kirby Games, Mario Party 9...I can't see all of them sadly, but I did nab a screencap. Will link them later!

Looking forward to Link's Awakening on the 3DS. That was a really great game and I'm glad that it's getting remade.
OoT 3D is gonna have Master Quest? Great, something I have to look forward to when I get my hands on it. ^^;
I'm not quite sure if that's Vaati or not. If it is, then apparently he doesn't age. If not, then we have a really good imitator. But there's only one original. :3
