TGS is japan centric. I don't except any FPS or racing games accouncement.
I'm still waiting decent fps for the 3DS. Soon system is 6 months old and still there isn't any fps games. Even DS have couple decent like Call of Duty and Dementium. Also lack of good 3DS racing games is pity.
Vita is getting Call of Duty and Bioshock.
I'm talking about the third party stuff. Nintendo's own 3DS games looks fine to me, but third partys, well that's another story.
Handhelds of all stripes have virtually been ignored by Western developers; gems like Clash of Heroes and Scribblenauts are the exception and not the rule, sadly.
If any system does draw some modicum of Western support, it'll be Vita, but overwhelmingly in the form of me-too console ports.
I'm also looking to TGS to take the temperature of how Japanese dev teams are approaching both the 3DS and Vita, more particularly the 3DS. The Vita will most definitely suffer from an anemic post-launch window (as every system ever does), but I was really hoping for at least more 3DS game announcements from this year's E3. TGS is my main hope to find new third-party efforts to look forward to on 3DS.
Note: I definitely don't think the 3DS will be "dead" in any dramatic sense of the word. First-party games will be big sellers and help Nintendo just fine. But I'm more interested in seeing where third parties push their chips. The whole "build an install base and they will come" mentality left the Wii a barren wasteland, and also seemed to fall on its face for the 3DS launch; I'm hoping that in addition to this price drop and new marketing angle, Nintendo is also bombarding third parties with attempts and offers to build some bridges.
