Watch Dogs looks nice but all that looked like a pre-rendered cutscene.

Not sure what is worse, Aisha hosting the UbiSoft press release or her spot on Hawaii 5-0.

Wow, The Division looks amazing for an MMO. I would normally NEVER in a million years consider an MMO but this may have changed my mind!

The Division looks great but I guess they have put the next Rainbow Six on the back-burner.

Well, the one thing I learned today is that next gen is gonna be awesome. MS seemed to have way better games for now, Sony has a better used policy and lower price. I'll happily be buying both, but for sure XBOX first.

Almost forgot today's loser of E3...Nintendo! Man are they boned. The Wii U needs to hit $199 or something, today.

I also didn't see CoD anywhere, and it was awesome!

Nintendo's press conference is tomorrow. Not that I expect them to blow any minds.

The big problem for them is that they've already announced so many things that will be there. There's not much room for surprises and they're only doing a 1 hour show.

I'm expecting the only real surprise to be Retro's game, so that kind of sucks. But I guess there haven't really been many surprising announcements for games at this e3 anyway, really.

They've already announced that 3D Mario, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Kart will be there. And there's rumors that the 3rd Sonic exclusive will actually be Sonic X Mario Kart.

They'll probably also show off Bayonetta 2, Shin Megami X Fire Emblem, and LoZ: Windwaker.

Hey, that's something we can agree on!

Could be what Mario Kart needs to spice things up.

I always like seeing what Nintendo brings to the table. They'll always be my favorite video game company. I'm still waiting for more titles for me to dive in to before I shell out the money for a Wii U, though.

A guy on NeoGAF was claiming that StarTropics is the game that Rare is working on. He popped in again yesterday to re-affirm that he wasn't bs'ing. StarTropics is my favorite game of all time. If that really turns out to be Rare's game

I still don't believe it, though

Um, they showed Killer Instinct. That would be the big game Rare was working on.

I still love me some Nintendo, but seriously, these are all franchises that typically have minimal evolution. Close your eyes, you can picture all three of these before they even show them.

They'll be cool to see, but I doubt Nintendo has it in them to blow anyone's mind anymore. Not totally true. They'd blow my mind if they brought some new games to the show instead of relying on franchises that are 20+ years old.

Yeah, I'm sure we would all like new IP's, but that's not how Nintendo works. They try to take the safe route and incorporate new ideas into existing franchises. Like Kirby's Epic Yarn, that was supposed to be an original game, but they just threw Kirby in there. If you can overlook the familiar faces, they put out a lot of great stuff. Although to anyone not informed, it probably all looks the same. Similar to how I feel about most FPS games

But I'll backtrack to pretty sure.
Apparently Rare couldn't even make it on it's own Angry Joe tweeted
Killer Instincts is being codeveloped by Double Helix. Makers of G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra, Green Lantern, & Battleship movie games. Yeaaa.

Missed it earlier, but I can't believe this is actually happening:

I was strictly a computer gamer during the Nintendo glory years. I have no emotional attachment.

I liked the Gamecube, but hated the Wii.

I don't like the idea of moving my attention back and forth from TV to controller. I don't like the short battery life. (Maybe Nintendo will bring over the better battery that is reportedly coming to Japan. But I'll want it in the box, not as an add-on.) And the price is nearly at PS4 level for a less powerful console.

Neither Zelda nor Mario will lure me in. Bayonetta is closer, but still not there.

Rather than getting aggressive, Nintendo seems to be torpid. I'd like to like Nintendo...
