Well one day of conferences down and no big announcements yet, watched Microsofts show, was pretty uninspiring. Looking forward to tomorrow

Hey Knighty where was Milo and Kate??

Believe me I was sad when I found out we weren't gonna be on stage ;_;

Kinect looks awful, in my opinion. I'm sure it will be great for people who like to play those types of games and don't mind waving their arms around aimlessly. But for someone who wants precise control, I doubt they will get much use out of it (maybe just for the dashboard usage).

It doesn't appeal to me at all and I can't see any proper games getting use out of it, because the controls would be horrific.

Well then you wont be liking the new Sonic Riders game that is going to be exclusive for it then. That game would be more tiring than Mario and Sonic. But I agree I think it will suck and not make a lot of money. Why not just add an addon like the motion plus, would be better and might sell better.

That's ridiculous, when did you find out your team weren't attending?

Also how long have you known about Freak-A-zoid (360 Flat)?

I dunno what I can say without breaching NDA. And none of us knew about the new 360.

Also, I'll probably be streaming Majoras Mask and other random crap on my livestream channel or something between the conferences tonight

You still on NDA? Does that ever lift whilst you're working there?

Of course not.....even when I leave it's not like I can start saying anything I want

Woo Nintendo's conference is quite soon. Anyone know of a stream I can watch from?

What of Beyond Good and Evil though?

Man Activision are up hopefully it won't be as painful as when "comedian" Jamie Kennedy hosted it. Not that I care about Activision.

So painful to watch:

Ubisoft's guy last night was almost as bad.

Seriously? Was it an Ubi employees or a guest host??

@ Knighty

So if you did blabber anything, would it be a case of "I'll make sure you never work in this town again"? You wouldn't get any work as a dev or in the industry?

Was some guy from some US tv I'd never heard of.

Has anyone else noticed how Nintendo, Sony, and MS have kind of switched places from the past 2 or 3 years. This year MS focused most of their show on so-called "casual gaming," and I would expect Sony to follow the same road in regards to the Move. Nintendo, on the other hand, is expected to show off new hardware (3DS), a new Zelda, more on Metroid: Other M, as well as having a secret or 2 up their sleeve (DK, Starfox, Kid Icarus???).

It just seems like this year it is Nintendo that is catering more to the "hardcore" gamer, while Sony and MS play catch up on the casual market.

Of course, Nintendo could focus an hour on their Vitality Sensor and something called Wii Breathe, which would shoot down these thoughts immediately.

Actually Sony have already had a conference dedicated to Move in the last few months, I think they'll be pretty hardcore orientated too.

I'm expecting Sony's conference to be pretty damn awesome.

Yeah believe, Sony have got more core games than both the other parties. After MS' casual conference I'm not pushing my hopes/expectations.

I still think they will spend a decent portion of time on Move, but I did forget the PSP2 rumors. If that happens, my point is moot. As long as they keep their 2006 E3 in mind (as a DO NOT REPEAT THIS mantra), they should be fine.

E3 sony you should wait you feel better if it true

Worst Zelda demonstration ever. Looks great though. And 3DS looks class!

Best Nintendo conference in years. Huge shame about Zelda mucking up though. It looked visually brilliant though.

Man I'm really impressed. So many new games!!

Yeah, the cell shading looked great. They have to release a Starfox for 3DS!

oh fuck look at the list of 3DS games

That's a fucking mindblowing list Jump. I just saw it myself too.

FUCK.

Best Nintendo Conference ever!

I will post more thoughts later. I'm still in a bit of shock/excitement at the moment. I can't remember the last time I got this excited during and after a Nintendo Press Conference.

pilotwings resort and paper mario not be show off or talk about is just mind blowing

and Fuck a new KH? or will it be the code port

Street Fighter 4 and Ninja Gaiden.O_o

Super street fighter IV! wow

Shame there just remaking starfox 64 but gues it's better than nothing.
