I'll be the first to admit that LittleBigPlanet looks AWESOME. Now that the PS3 is going to be $400, maybe I'll actually shell out the money to buy one.

IMO, conference wise, Sony > Microsoft > Nintendo. At least we're finally getting voice chat, though. Hopefully, we'll see more good stuff from all 3 over the next few days.

Also, it would indeed be cool if we could get Sariku back on the podcast.
But if you guys want to do a four-person roundtable and are looking for one more participant... *puppy dog eyes*

We get to hear Swordy every week for WTFP, and while he wouldn't be an unwelcome addition, I think everyone wants to see someone that they haven't seen in a while.

Really I felt it was Microsoft>Nintendo>Sony
The only really big cool thing Sony had was Little Big Planet. Microsoft had so much to say even if a lot had already leaked and Nintendo would have been better if they had stopped talking about how great they were for a few seconds.

Also I to would like to hear Sariku and as for Swordy we hear him every week on WTFP

But Swordy has never actually been a real part of the roundtable, able to just say what he has to say. He's either been talking about Pokémon, or just there to relay questions.

And GCM, be honest. Seriously. Nintendo lost. We got three intresting games and ONLY three that no one knew about (I'd heard about GTA DS from GoNintendo as early as either April or May, not sure which one). We only got two interesting accessories, and no storage solution. We've got nothing about our major first-party titles except that the Mario and Zelda teams are "working on something".

Weakest E3 keynotes ever. Not really, but they were bad.

FFXIII on the 360 is huge, but I'm still getting a PS3... They implied some features might be cut.

Yeah, I'll pass on the automatic bid - it is better to get someone in that hasn't been on/in a while. But if I submit artwork and beat those out there.... (not happening)

I mean, I'll gladly fill my 'role' as moderator for Mailtime questions, but yeah, I'd have to earn it to get air time other than WTFP.

Sony won E3, hands down. Second is close between the extreme suckage that were Nintendo's and Microsoft's conferences. Although I think Ninty's performance was especially bad because they forced me to remember that they don't give a flying **** about core gamers. Which, you know, were filling the theater. I'd actually give the edge to Microsoft's over Nintendo's this year, although not by much since M$ didn't announce any new games that are interesting other than that new Galaga.

Did Casamasina just single-handedly start development on Mario Galaxy 2?

^ What about Banjo-Kazzoie for XBLA, featuring the Stop 'n Swop features that we were promised ten years ago?

Wait, the original Banjo-Kazooie is coming out for XBLA?

I thought Nintendo denied the Goldeneye port because it would be dishonorable for a game that originally came out on a Nintendo system to be released on another.

According to the 360 conference, right after the BK3 trailer, this was announced.

Looking at what they did to Goldeneye, Nintendo's going to find a way to stop it. They're probably working on ways right now.

Already posted that, Deception.

Also, Nintendo's not going to stop BK from coming to XBLA. I mean, what can they do? The hardware isn't an issue; after all, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a PlayStation game, and that's on XBLA. The property is Rareware's, so as long as they remove any Nintendo references (i.e. the N64 logo and the Game Boy), they can do whatever they want with it. In this case, "whatever they want" includes...
A) Slight graphical enhancements so that it doesn't look really bad in HD
B) A means to finally get the 7 Stop 'n Swop items legitimately
C) The ability to transfer said Stop 'n Swop items to Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, much like what they originally planned for Banjo-Tooie.

Also, Nintendo never completely denied a Goldeneye port. In fact, they claimed that they were looking for ways to bring it to the VC. The problem lies in the fact that Rare, who is owned by Microsoft, developed the game, and Activision holds the video game rights to James bond. Therein lies the biggest problem, as according to 1Up, Rare's been working on a GoldenEye port already, but Nintendo and Microsoft allegedly couldn't come to a financial agreement. It's not really surprising; when two direct competitors have to try and find this kind of compromise, it's bound to be a complicated issue.

Miyamoto is hinting at a new Mario Galaxy, new Pikmin, and a New Super Mario Bros 2.

E3 must not be big for Nintendo anymore. It seems as though they will announce their good games later. The question is, what games and when will they be released?

I don't think E3 is big for anyone anymore. IMO all the conferences sucked. The only surprises were GTA DS, FFXIII on 360 and the possibility of true 1:1. E3 died 2 years ago:(

It's no secret that E3 hasn't been the same since the big downscaling. In fact, a bunch of companies like LucasArts and (I think) Blizzard actually split off and started doing their own conferences/events instead of holding E3 conferences.

I know a lot of people, including several in the game industry, have npt been pleased with the new E3. I predict that we're going to be seeing a lot more companies not doing E3 and doing something on their own, or perhaps doing both but putting more emphasis on their own event (the return of Spaceworld?). Hell, at this rate, I might even wager that E3 will be completely dead in five years or less.

Is E for All every year, or was it only a one time thing?

LOL necks.

And yes, I'm 100% positive that E for All is happening again this year. I'd expect that Animal Crossing and Wii Sports Resort will probably be the "big games" there for Nintendo this time around, provided that they don't announce any other heavy hitters in the near future.

...I also expect that when playing Animal Crossing, there will be annoying booth girls shouting "YOU GOT THE FISH! PRESS 1! PRESS 1!"
