How so? They were pretty comprehensive. I think the 3DS show was pretty stand out personally.

Also, you have to keep perspective in mind too. E3 is primarily for the industry and their investors. It's a showcase primarily intended for them, and E3 isn't even open to the public.

Lol, like I care. They stream if for the public, so they need to make the show for the public who watched it too, besides the journalists there. Everyone and their moms were talking about how bad Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony's showing this year were bad. Wii U presentation was very bad. Nintendoland... LOL. Sony Wonderbook. LOOOL. Microsoft... what? Nothing at all (Smart Glass? LOOOOL).

Shittiest E3 ever. I watch these since they started streaming to the public.

Oh come now, you should know better than to think I would say such an underhanded thing about our beloved classic titles. If that was a serious comment, I wouldn't be developing my own fan game in 2D that is reminiscent of both the exploration and stage based titles mixed together.

 Of course it was not serious, heck I even said the games were clean in the context of them actually being dirty.  (but then again those cartridges do get pretty dusty  )

But I do love me them classics 

Emotion cons change everything 

In other news I do not get what was so boring about this years e3 I thought it was fun mostly because of castlevania/ and all the new 2d games coming to the 3ds

LoI copied the gameplay from DMC.

Having played both, I don't see them as being particularly similar. >_>

[GummiCandyful]

What have I missed let's see... oh Capcom doing drugs and not being winners (no tiger blood in them at at all  ) , an imaginary Sumac, and the return of Gummi how ya doing  , clones ,  and whoa whoa hold it!

The old games dirty? No they are very clean.

LOL, I'm doing just fine. You?

Maybe you watched other E3, because Nintendo fucking sucked this year. Just like any other company out there besides Ubisoft.

All a matter of opinion. Just like how I've heard some people say they liked Microsoft's presentation this year.

[Gaawa-chan]

Nintendo's presentation wasn't stellar but it wasn't abysmal, either. Pikmin 3 looks cool, for example.

^This. Lament of Innocence and Devil May Cry play VERY differently.

While DMC uses the time-input combo system (which had a total of about three combos), LoI uses the dial-a-combo system (there were quite a few). I found LoI as a far more fun hack-n-slash title than any of the DMC titles, but that's just me.

[thernz]

yeah, just you

[Claimh Solais]

yeah, just you

Like I thought.

[Neobelmont]

Like I thought.

Really 

But in all seriousness I would have to play the two again and compare, but other games are taking my time rpgs are good but dang 

[Maedhros]

Well, I really didn't know people here would be fans of Nintendo. So I'll change my stance, they had the best presentation ever, nothing will top their showing, Pikmin 3 without online? Good. 3DS games that we knew since march? Amazing. NINTENDOLAND? Outstanding!!! Wii U being presented so bad that some people still confuses it as a new controller for Wii? Holy shit, amazing guys. Ports of games from 360, PS3 and PC? Woot!

Nintendo is so good. @_@

I can do ones for Sony and Microsoft if wanted too.

@LoI
DMC started the trend of stylish combos on PS2 era. Yes, they're reminiscent of hack'n slash games. That doesn't change they were inspiration for games like LoI and GoW. Also, I think the start of the cancer called QTE was used first on DMC too, but I can't really remember.

That was the highlight of Nintendo's presentation.

Their presentation this year was just sort of bland... interesting stuff I guess- but sort of meh at the same time.

[e105beta]

I was too busy paying attention to Mirror of Fate and Paper Mario to care about much else this E3, so if everyone had to pick a year to toss out a bunch of samey shooters, this was a good a year as any.

Halotroid Prime 4 looked cool, though.

On topic, though, I really hope the release date is September 30th. I want it to get released before my university workload forces me to buckle down too much.

Just chilling waiting for the fall to come and of course exercising

I'm sorry, I'm a huge Nintendo fan but Ubisoft won this year's e3. They had interesting looking new games, gameplay demonstrations, and even little skits for the casual crowd to enjoy. Nintendo comes in second, but the fact that Nintendoland was meant to be their centerpiece announcement really hinders it a bit. Sony had a rather pathetic showing.  Mostly focusing on that Wonderbook thing, plus neglecting to show off the new Vita games that they had on the demo floor shows how much faith they have in that system. EA is near the bottom of the barrel, but they're not doing so well financially so it's to be expected.  Microsoft is dead last.  Halo 4 was not enough to save that conference.

At least Sony showed games. The Last of Us won awards of best E3 games and such. Looks like a sweet game, with limited bulets. I just want to see more gameplay and see if it'll be as authomated as Uncharted. Wonderbook ruined the rest of the conference. And their Vita showing was pathetic, considering they had 30+ games for it on the booths.

Microsoft didn't even know what they were doing there. Smart glass was a joke, Halo 4... how's that even something? We knew that from E3 2011. The best parts were clips of 3rd parties games.

I put Sony in second. Nintendo in third, Microsoft in last. Lol, even Konami pre-show was better. Ubisoft won because they showed what people wants from this event: GAMES.
