Unbiasedly, Nintendo had a good E3. Their conference should've had videos of SSB and other titles that people screamed for instead of waiting until later to show them.

This is one of the best E3's Ninty has ever had. Not everyday do they get praise like this.

Sony: They showed what they were going to do. They showed how great the grpahics are, among other things. Its just going to be hard for a good amount of people to stomach $600 for it.

Microsoft: They showed they are still in this race and that the 360 can do damn well for its 2nd gen games. I'll consider a purchase at some point, just not yet...

Can somebody point me in the direction of getting the Microsoft press conference?

Nintendo made the most impact no doubt. Not just with the Wii, but the crazy amount of DS games.

I really wanna see the Microsoft one!

I remember the E3 before the Cube.......oh man look at that thing! It's gonna rock Sony's socks!

I won't jump the gun and say Nintendo is going to "put Sony in it's place" or anything.

But I will say, 5 years from now, we'll see where we are 5 years from now.

There are a couple downloads of the full conference even for non-insiders.

I don't remember people saying "Nintendo will rule over Sony with the Gamecube". I think people gave the GC the same reception they did with Sony this time around.

I don't think so. The only major complaint I remember being lodged against the cube was the small discs which prevented it to be used as a DVD player.

I really want my new Zelda, I'm so mad Nintendo is waiting till the holiday season to release it and not summer! grrr...

heh, no, gamecube got a lot of hype building up for it. i also remember people saying how much better it was going to be then PS2 or Xbox. it got very much like the reception nintendo is getting right now. nintendo is good at having a solid e3 before a console release, because they're always showing something different that gets people talking. whether or not it works out later on is another story, but they do get people talking.

im waiting till i actually get to try it before getting any hopes up.

I can't remember things like that but if it happened, then I don't recall...it was 5 years ago so I probably can't think straight at the moment.

Yup I agree with Null on this one, Ninty is usually great at the conferences but their after marketing strat usually sucks. I'll wait and see how they market the Wii before I make any predictions about it's success.
