Question of the Day, June 16, 2010

Microsoft was all about motion control, to the point they hired french actors to show it off, in a way your not. Plus, the screen character moved first, not the actor......

Sony was bland, with some new stuff, some old stuff. Gabe surprised me there.

Nintendo is beating a dead horse over and over. The Zelda demo wasn't that good. The guy slashed downward, and Link did a swirly attack. Granted, the 3DS looks very good, and I might pick one up.

Nintendo, but Sony (surprisingly) wasn?t bad either. I?m guessing they got a completely new marketing department in the past year and it?s about time.

MS was pretty lackluster. Not as bad as Sony?s from last year, but very boring and trite.

But in the end I?m more curious about the 3DS than anything else I saw at the big 3 events. I think it?s going to be about time I upgrade from my DS phat.

Did you even watch last year? Sony was much better last year! And how does ppl even think when they vote Microsoft?Only thing they got was rising that was good, and anything else was avreage at best, most kinect stuff made me lol at 1) How stupid ppl looked playing it and 2) that it was eyetoy with voicerecognition gameplay wise (mostly) IMO.
I watched all shows and nintendo was the best, sony was good but drawn out.

I don't know. Whenever I think of last years e3, I always think of that nervous, sweaty, and hastily thrown together motion controller presentation. Nintendo was still arguably worse in 09 however with their: here's more games for grandma's wii presentation.
What else did sony have then? God of War 3 which we already knew about, psp for girlz, and a mysterious R* game that we never heard about again.
I agree with you about this year though. The only thing disappointing about Nintendo this year is that they seem to still not get it about the wii. While it is cool to see a new Zelda, what I really want to see are some exclusive titles from big franchises like GTA, Fallout, and Modern Warfare. That's what they need.

If I were a part of the gaming press that went home with a free Xbox 360, then I'd say Microsoft. For the common folk who will never get any closer to E3 other than watching liveblogs and the like, I'm going with Nintendo. Sony's was quite good though, I'll give them props.

Nintendo wins. I knew it as soon as Zelda showed up on the screen.

Microsoft was boring.

Sony was ok but definitely facepalm worthy. I mean, come on, quit shoving all the ads down our throats, i get enough of those watching TV. Although I was excited for Killzone, Deadspace 2, Portal 2 and Twisted Metal. And Kevin Butler was just epic. Other than that, it was mediocre at best.

Microsoft just stood in the background waving its arms shouting "Hey look at me! I'm important!" Just embarrasing.

Nintendo hauled ass and announced a SLEW of titles that made me shout with joy. Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby, Epic Mickey, Kid Icarus, and GOLDENEYE. HELL YES. And the 3DS. HO-LEE CRAP!! Just...WOW! That really blew me away. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of those. And the fact that they're revamping StarFox 64 and Ocarina of TIme for the 3DS is just a great idea, I'm gonna LOVE playing OoT on the go. The one thing that would have made their press conference complete for me would be Smash Bros. 4 but I'm just dreaming xD.

So yeah. Nintendo was a total mindblower. Therefore, they won. The boys are back in town!
