More details for us working stiffs, please.

I was kinda bummed at fist when it looked like Mario Maker was going with an 8-bit look/palate, but it seems like you can make it look 8-bit, 16-bit and even like the more recent "New SBM". Stoked for this - and the unlimited amount of levels that we'll be able to play.

Ew, gross!

Is it so hard to just put out another 2D Metroid-Vania game using current-gen assets? All they need to do is come up with a new map and story, done and done!

It isn't a Metroid-vania when it's Metroid

But yeah I agree entirely.

Well that was a press conference that did not make me want to rush out and get a WiiU, that's for sure. Will be probably waiting out until I see Zelda now next year, and sticking with my XboxOne. Only things that I'm looking at for sure getting this year at least are the first 3:

Halo 5
Rare Collection
Star Wars Battlefront
Destiny (have not gotten the 2 expansions so perhaps sell my copy and then get the new set coming out with everything?)
Tomb Raider ? (never really played but if get a great deal around holidays may pick it up based on reviews as it does look sweet)

That would be a dream game if it were ever made. Hell, just give me Super Metroid with upgraded, HD sprites.

Pre-ordered three more.

Until Dawn - not even shown at E3 since it's out super soon, but I'm excited for this one now, and it was part of the 30% deal at amazon.CA
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst
Horizon: Zero Dawn

DAMN these Canadian prices, though.

I was pretty disappointed. It felt like there was a ton of filler, focusing heavily on games we've already seen while not mentioning several of the games we know are coming later this year, such as Fatal Frame and Devil's Third. Too many of those segments felt like they were droning on forever, and its sense of humor was pretty toothless compared to the past couple of years.

Only two new Wii U games were announced. Nintendo's lost their minigame mojo, and even by those low standards, that Animal Crossing board game looks awful. Not being sassy, but I thought Mario Tennis Ultra Smash was a 3DS game at first blush. It doesn't have Nintendo's trademark visual polish.

Star Fox looks surprisingly GameCube-esque -- which I'm sure is at least to a point deliberate -- and I don't think the control scheme is going to be for me. It's single player only and is more linear than Star Fox games have been in the past. Super Mario Maker is intriguing, although I'm less excited than pretty much everyone else seems to be.

Still excited for Yoshi's Woolly World, although it's dumb that we have to wait until October for it.

It sure seems like Nintendo has already reshuffled a lot of their development resources to whatever's next, and they're just kinda riding the Wii U out. Crazy what a freefall this was from last year's phenomenal showing.

Nintendo acknowledged -- in Japanese -- that the feedback that this Digital Event wasn't that great and that they'll aim to do better next time.

Wouldn't be surprising. Maybe that's where Zelda, Metroid and others are.

Yeah, I assumed we'd be seeing a shit ton of the new Zelda, and at least a reveal of a real Metroid game instead of the BS they showed. And teasing Yoshi is mean, considering it'll be out in other countries in just a week.

Still, I'm way stoked on Super Mario Maker!

It was Bayonetta 2, Splatoon, and vapor. I don't know why people trusted them.

Nintendo announced beforehand that Zelda would be a no-show. The only reason I can think they'd do that is if it's really far off (holiday 2016?) and/or just isn't ready for primetime. Their last Zelda U demo looked as if it was very early in the process.

I was thinking that the NX, whatever it is, will launch in late 2016, and the Wii U death knell lineup in this digital event makes me even more certain that's the case.

Hey remember when big video game companies used their E3 conferences to announce surprise console price cuts in order to increase flagging hardware sales?

Neither does Nintendo.

They should just announce an exclusive amiibo with every software launch, then count the money as it comes in. Oh wait, that's what chibi robo is, right?

Games that have my interest.......

Black Ops 3
Battlefront
Star Ocean 5
Hitman
Mass Effect: Andromeda
For honor
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Nier 2
Dragon Quest Heroes

It is kinda funny that the subject line turned out to be accurate, though!

Very surprising. Not that I didn't like a lot of the games from all the consoles, Xbox delivered with more stuff coming this year versus a lot of games coming out next year or later for both Sony and Nintendo, as far as exclusives, or semi-exclusives (also on Windows or just a timed-exclusive). Not a knockout by any console though. Nintendo mainly made me wish I had bought a 3DS a few years ago. It's not good when most of the best games from a company are on your handheld side.

Shh!

There was no mention of the new PS4 model, was there? Is 1 TB even enough?

It will fill up pretty quickly if you buy a lot of games. I swapped my HD with a 2 TB, and I have only 1.13 TB left. Granted, I think I've only deleted one game I traded in. A lot of those free-to-play games eat up a lot of space. DC Universe Online is 34.2 GB, and Warframe is 33.45 GB. Just looking at my storage, and noticed Netflix takes up 1.14 GB. That's nuts.

You wouldn't know that from browsing certain popular gaming forums over the last 24 hours. They've already declared the Sony conference to be the best of the decade, while MS gets an overall "meh." A truly shocking turn of events!

Okay someone walk me through this since I missed their and Nintendo's conferences : Besides announcing Backwards Compatibility (two years later than would have been really useful, but admittedly cool and unexpected) and showing off a $150 Elite controller (), what exactly did MS do or show to win E3?
