Eurocom? Isn't that the developers of Cruis'n World on Nintendo 64, and Hydro Thunder on the Sega Dreamcast? Is it the same people?

You're correct. I honestly couldn't stop laughing when he appeared on stage.

"I'd like to thank everyone at Sony for not repeatedly punching me in the face". Best line of the whole conference.

yeah, particially. They got some extra devs when free radical design got hit by the moneygeddon few years back.

Nintendo won this years E3 with ease.
3DS was no match i reckon.
Was happy that golden sun was announced with a trailer as well as the list of companies willing to work on the 3DS.

Heartbroken when Konami released details about the remake of snake eater on the 3DS. Thought it would be something new at least a remake of the original metal gear.

The ps3 event was quite boring to me apart from Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy 14 however the trailer for ff14 was released ages ago with old stuff put with new which was quite disappointing to me. At least they put a real date for Gran Turismo and they will stick to their date this time >.<

Hey, most people think Snake Eater is still the best game of the series (not me, I'm quite partial to MGS IV).

Also, call me old, but I just can't feel enthusiastic about the 3DS. It seems so... not exciting at all, I guess. And I still love my ol' and battered DS.

Hehe i still have my battered giant brick DS, was gonna get the new super large DS but the day after they announced the N3DS lol. Kinda glad i think.

To me snake eater has the best storyline to me but gameplay MGS4 wins it. Note its my opinon lol i don't wanna get flamed by people >.<

[BetoJR]

No problem. We can be flamed together, as I quite agree with your opinion. Nevertheless, I still prefer MGS IV for... I dunno... the closure thing.

So Graphic is like Nintendo 64 - Gamecube - even PS2 ?

Now show us the price , DS and DSI = 129,99 - 169,99$ .
3DS = 199,99$ ? I'll say more ...


So , Donkey Kong is back and the game looks interesting , i didn't play Donkey Kong series since the Game Boy lol

I agree for Kirby, it looks like Paper Mario , cool stuff .

Finally , the long await , GOLDEN SUN As usual , i love the summons .

Kid Icarus , why not .

I'm very surprised that they add "Saint Row" lol after GTA ChinaTown , Nintendo is going for 18+

Actually, just looking at the ages of people who posted on this page, its seems that you are one of the youngest people here. I know you are younger than me, but this is coming from a 20 year old, 3DS is awesome, now I don't have to carry around my laptop if I want to play OoT at school.

Its on G4, I'm not sure if any other channel is broadcasting it.

Meh, the Sony conference wasn't that great this year. WAY too much talking about "content" , "value", "best experience" etc and in general praising their products at every opportunity. Nintendo easily had the best E3 presser by far, straight up games and not bullshit at every oppurtunity (and i don't even like most of nintendo's franchises!) .

+3rd birthday trailer/gameplay (YES!)
+GT5 release date
+Kevin Butler
-Move's price. Certainly isn't the cheapest for someone who wants the Sub-controller,the camera and the main controller itself (ie one complete set). Should have had another bundle with a sub-controller included instead of whatever game the 99.99 bundle had.
-The pacing of the conference was TERRIBLE.

As for the 3DS, i think most people are jumping the gun a little too soon. I like (persona ;o it so far but am not yet convinced about its supposed graphical prowess. The images on their site look good but i would reserve judgement until the games are actually running on the system . Secondly, i am concerned and hopeful that the battery life won't be shitty (see PSP == as a compromise . Would be awesome if they could keep it at the levels of the DS/and its variants.

[MushroomSamba]

You forgot...

+ EFFIN' TWISTED METAL! The way they presented it was kickass to boot.

That and Portal 2 really made the Sony presser worthwhile. Still doesn't hold a candle to Nintendo's day, but not nearly as dull as Microsoft's.

[james0246]

So, anything new from Insomniac Games after their late May report? I expected they would take a year off (in order to start up their new franchise), but is there any word on anything from them in this years E3?

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

Finally Twisted Metal returns. It's about time; it has long been one of my favorite game series.

They had the best presentation, what with that kick ass sweet tooth truck rolling out onto the stage and the music playing gave me nostalgic chills.

[-Sho-]

Well im not convinced either , wait more info and specialy the 3d effect , the price too. There is
2days left so for the others games like last guardian etc... You can hope for more info .

[Gordy Lechance]

Since duplicate threads tend to get you strikes with the moderators, and yet this machine:

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/0...p-is-finished/ (Link NOT SAFE FOR WORK)

is just too darned awesome to not deserve its own thread.

So:

Requesting permission for the creation of a thread for the further discussion of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS machine, just announced at E3 yesterday.

[Sides]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Ocarina of Time 3D, nice one.
Not sure what to think about Goldeneye remake, since it has regenerative health, makes it kind of wimpy, takes off the edge.
