Happy Birthday, #Xenoblade. ゼノブレ三周年おめ!

#Xenoblade_fes13

Japanese gamers celebrating the birthday on Twitter and Soraya too :D
 
Watching Microsoft's conference is technically watching EA's conference as well.

And it's not like EA will announce a whole batch of games for Wii U unless we somehow get lucky.
 
So other than Nintendo, what other conferences are you guys watching? Just Ubisoft, and maybe Sony for me.

I'm actually the most hyped for Sony. They've basically been handed the ball by Microsoft and Nintendo. All they need to do is have a great show, say used games work as they always have, and announce a decent price at some point and they'll have next-gen wrapped up.

I also thought Knack looked phenomenal and hope they've got more games like that lined up.

I'll watch Microsoft's just for the trainwreck. If they show a new Banjo-Kazooie, I'll be sad as it still won't make me support that anti-consumer piece of crap.
 
I'l watch nintendo live for sure. Will try to watch sony's too.
I will eventually read up about all three so it doesnt really matter.

Nah.

All of the time that would go into website development should go toward their Wii U game. After all, we all want polished Mario Kart tracks, right?

I...don't remember hearing this in the game. Which level did it play in? I think I might need to go track it down and play it.

Grandmaster galaxy's prankster comet.

The way to unlock it eludes be but I know you need at lease 9999 starbits in the bank and all the green stars.

That would be why. I don't have Grand Master Galaxy unlocked yet. Curse you, purple coins!

My wife let me choose 15 minutes of video game music for the part of our wedding when the guests took their seats and we waited for the bride. This was my first choice. It's just wonderful.

It's one of those songs that as a musician, I feel succeeds not just as a video game song, but as a piece of music on its own. There are a few songs in Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy VI that I feel the same way about. I would totally use them in a wedding montage.

I would also probably use Dearly Beloved as the background music for a wake or a funeral.

I will definitely watch the recording of the Sony presentation. And the XBox One just out of curiosity. For others, I will have to look who might have stuff, that might interest me.

Haha, I was just making a Retro Studios/Mario Kart U joke. Good luck in landing a job! Their website really is quite awful.
 
Wii Fit U will not sell systems. I think that group has moved on to iOS or is sticking with their Wii.

I do expect to see Wii Sports U, though, and I'm excited for that.

I want a full-fledged bowling game, Nintendo. Easy money.

I think you have got that the wrong way round, it is much more likely that poeple who bought the Wii for Wii Sports are being catered to by iOS & given the fact that there are always going to be fat people there will always be a market for a Wii Fit.

Also all the people expecting Nintendo to show something that will change the perception of the Wii U are crazy, the narrative for that console has been set & they will struggle to keep it on shelves long enough to sell close to the GC let alone any of their good consoles.

I'm watching all of 'em - it's E3 baby!

Massively hyped for Sony's, and I'm expecting Microsoft's to wind up being one of those hilarious, Sony-2006-level, disasters.
 
So other than Nintendo, what other conferences are you guys watching? Just Ubisoft, and maybe Sony for me.

Sony and Microsoft although the latter is mostly for laughs. I don't really know which third parties are doing conferences but I'll watch Konami's although I don't expect anything worthwhile outside of MGSV.

I would watch all of them live if I didn't have to work on Monday. I'll see Microsoft, and Nintendo's though. I'll just play catch up with the rest. If I'm interested I'll watch the ones I missed too.
 
I don't know man, I'm out of topics to talk about already.

What can we do to survive the downtime together? IRC?

GiantEnemyGoomba already shared a IRC link to chat over there while GAF is down.
I'll pm you the link :)
 
Twas the night before E3, when all through the chat,
Not a fanboy was stirring, not even a rat.
The streams were loaded on the browsers with care,
In hopes that Mr. Iwata would soon be there.

The losers were glued to their laptops in bed,
While visions of 3D Mario danced in my head.
And I in my Wario suit, and Lain in her dress,
Have been waiting all year for Nintendo to impress.

When out in LA there arose such a clatter,
I turned on NeoGAF to see what was the matter.
The 504 errors began and started to flash,
What caused this downtime? Final Fantasy, or was it Crash?

The white glow of my monitor was harsh on my eyes,
It seems like during E3 NeoGAF always dies.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Super Smash Bros., scheduled for the 2013 fiscal year!

With his ageless physique and hysterical laugh,
I knew Sakurai was going to hype up GAF.
The footage was shown and blew us away,
I was astonished, amazed, and couldn’t wait to play.

“Now Ridley! Now, Mac! Now, Pac and Palutena!
On Chrom! On Mewtwo! On K. Rool and Bayonetta!
Join the roster you shall! To the top of the tier lists you go!
Now Nintendo has won E3, don’t let anybody tell you no!”

The game looked amazing, but it wasn’t enough,
Nintendo and I both knew that Wii U sales have been rough.
So then came the Regginator, he looked mighty fine,
I promised not to get hyped, nope, not after last time.

And then, to my surprise, I heard on the feed,
That Shenmue 3 is being developed by Nintendo EAD.
I thought it was a hoax, but maybe I was wrong,
Nintendo was saving their big guns all along.

“My name is Satoru Iwata, and I am proud to stand here today,
To tell you which games on the show floor you will play.
Kingdom Hearts III, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and of course, Mother 4.
What’s that you say? Is it not enough, you want more?”

His reign has been disappointing, but he knew what we wanted,
All this time, we’ve been bullied, and even taunted.
Us Nintendo fans are a fickle lot, and for good reason too,
Soon the GAF servers went down again at the sight of the Great Mighty Poo.

“I am pleased to announce that Nintendo has bought some IP back from Rare
And our first projects are Conker 2 and a platformer featuring that bird and bear.
Please understand the situation, and take one last look.”
Gabe Newell waddled on camera, and his massive belly shook.

“Has it been worth the weight? Because the games you’ve been anticipating are finally here.
Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3 will arrive as Wii U exclusives this YEAR.”
Iwata flicked his hair from side to side while holding the new 3DS Lite
“Happy E3 to all, and to all a good night!”

not as excited about sony/microsoft because of the new console reveal, but i will still watch for the antics. i got excited from a distance for nintendo stuff, i can't do that again. i'm going to wait for those 2 to bring it to me this time.

In an ideal world, Sony will tell the publishers who are after this bullcrap business practice of yearly updates, DRM and used games dead, to bugger off. I'll love love nothing more than to watch the likes of EA crash and fucking burn. But I fear Sony will just spout out the "We're leaving it to the publishers to decided." line and they get a free pass.

I'm interested in what MS does tomorrow. It's going to test the nerve of sooo many on 'GAF. It's going to be hilarious.

Too many syllables in the bit about Rare

7.5/10, sort of want
 
I don't think I will be able to watch any of them, except for Sony's (including the direct) I will be at college for all of the conferences except Sony's and they have most awful connection there, not to mention it will be in the middle of classes.

I am forced to either read the reveals or wait till I get home to watch a stream recording myself.
