The Fireworks
Nintendo had a tall order this year: make up for last year by giving, as Fils-Aime put it, “a proper introduction” to the Wii U tablet controller. As we’ve mentioned, that also meant giving short shrift to their latest handheld. Unfortunately it also meant delivering a press conference that failed to announce any groundbreaking returns of the series’ most beloved characters (beyond Mario in yet another side-scroller). The conference was certainly more reassuring than last year due to Pikmin 3 alone, but most of the rumored heavy hitters were absent.
Following the extensive parade of title cards and sizzle reels of games that would be released on Wii U after other consoles – and an in-depth gameplay walkthrough of a single ghost-hunting mini-game – came what seemed to be the tease we were all waiting for. To close out the show, Fils-Aime directed everyone’s attention to the big screen for one final send-off.
Smash Bros.? Zelda HD? Donkey Kong? Metroid? Nope. To the disturbed and stunned silence of all present, the world was treated to b-roll of a fireworks display taking place in Nintendoland. Words simply cannot express.

I was hoping yall would mention g4′s absolutely atrocious attempt at covering e3.
not part of E3. Just helps bring E3 to those who are not exclusive enough to go.
Yea the girl at ubisoft’s (Not sure if she hates Toby turner)
EA needs to they will make even more money if they actually put effort into multiplayer and not some last minute stick together crap. Dead space 2′s multiplayer was terrible and there is a reason I have not touched ME 3′s multiplayer sense the demo.
shrift?
Wow, so after watching that E3 demo of Far Cry 3, I somehow want to play that game even less… So the main character is supposedly looking for his “girlfriend” but on the way he’s getting with this other girl?? And I’m sorry, but is he invincible or something? He was literally shot like 20 times or more point blank on several occassions without any consequences… And I still hate how freakin’ quiet all of the weapons are, I feel like I’m watching an airsoft fight, and the amount of hits he can take kind of supports that too…
Normally they play these demos on really easy with maxed out health so I wouldn’t put much into that. But yeah I’m not sure about the whole tribe thing with the naked lady. I think the game will be pretty good. I’m excited for the cover option and stealth kills in this game along with the open world. I think the cover did really well for a FPS in Killzone.
Wow! Talk about jumping the gun. DS3 Looks nothing like Gears. Oh wait, it’s because Isaac can roll and John Carver yelled out curse words?
Remember the experience will differ when you play solo or co-op. exactly how you said, co-op will be “fun & excited” with a touch of facing horror with friends. Solo will still carry that same survival/ horror of the 2nd and Im sure playing on higher difficulties will still give that intense, alone feeling.
That is putting ALOT of confidence into what hasn’t been shown. From everything we saw at the press conference, and behind closed-doors demo, the title is placing far more emphasis on machine-gunning and cover than in previous games.
We can’t speak to the game in its entirety, but I really hope you’re right to assume that the rest of the game will be exactly what you expect.
How did Usher’s waste of time not make this list? Seriously. We wanted game info, not a mini-concert. even 2 minutes on that is time lost in marketing.
Though it wasn’t for the more hardcore gamers Usher’s preformance was the best way to sell Dance Central. Certainly better than watching random dancers actually play the thing.
Pretty much all of EA’s conference was godawful. Only two things I liked: Dead Space 3 and TOR going free to play to level 15 in July.
Basic summary of rest:
Heres a bunch of sports games! Oh, yeah, and we’re remaking a NFS game we put out 7 years ago. Also, here’s generic shooter- I mean Medal Of HonorL Warfighter. Also, Crysis 3, by the company who SHOULD make Timesplitters 4, but due to it underselling on PS2, we’ll just hide behind this.
SKYLANDERS GIANTS will sell more than every game in that summary on Justin’s comment
Now remember, when it comes to cancelled games, it comes to ruined games.
