From the PlanetPlaystation.com feature editorial:
"Console announcements will be crazy enough at E3, with rumored next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft likely getting a mention, and the Wii-U taking the forefront of the Nintendo announcements after a tweet from them confirmed that launch titles would be announced. In all of the fuss surrounding consoles this year, will the two new handhelds see anything new for them? I’m hoping so, and here’s why."
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
The Vita has it in the bag if they can bring out some A+ games....
It's tough because Nintendo has a ton of franchises, big ones
Most of what is shown for Vita will be ps3 multiplatform games. Last E3, the 3ds support was underwhelming(not awful, but definitely nowhere near enough of a showing), and the lead up to e3 dev wise was the cause: there just wasn't much going on, or at least not much that could be shown. The Vita has a similar atmosphere to what the 3ds had last year, save for ports and multiplatform games. There's nothing necessarily wrong with this, but if the Vita wants to be successful in the long run and increase dev support, it will need true exclusives you cannot get anywhere else. Otherwise, it will never reach the levels of success that would boost developer confidence and software support. Like I said, There's nothing wrong with having ports, but you need the exclusive games as well or else what's the point?
For the 3ds, there are plenty of Japanese games yet to be released/confirmed for the West, and Nintendo has promised we will start to see Western developers show their stuff at the show. Expect Confirmations on N3ds games long awaited, and maybe a few new ones as well. There will be plenty of content and support for the 3ds at E3.
Sony will put up a good fight at E3 but all it takes is one Mario game and its game over for them.
But anyways Sony will still have plenty to show. I am excited for the next Vita update which will add PSX support.

Your a bit obsessed with calling everything a port on the Vita. If i recall correctly you claimed that AC3 Liberation is a port when the reality is that it isn´t one.
"I don't see much happening for the vita this year, save for nearly every big ps3 game getting portable ports. The level of electricity is eerily similar to the 3ds pre e3 2011, which got some good coverage but nowhere near what it deserved or needed.
For Sony, I think there will be 1 or 2 unannounced games overall, with a strong focus on ps3.
For Nintendo, wiiu details and a ton of games. 3ds will also have a good show of western made and Japanese localization ann... #7.2"
"@almir
So? What do you expect Sony to announce?
Most likely killzone or little big planet... same as every year.
Nintendo gets a lot of flack for doing the same thing everyone else does. So, its okay if the vita is full of ps3 games, but Nintendo can't make a brand new game in a respected series?
You are also forgetting the amount of flexibility of each individual title: kirby mass attack, epic yarn and return to dreamland are ENTIRELY different ga... #1.3.3"
"You guys are both forgetting about the 3ds.... it already has an incredible lineup incoming, and it will only get better at e3 according to Nintendo.
I expect the vita to have a similar show as the 3ds did last year(edit: good, but not enough.), with one difference: most of the ps3 games showcased will be on the vita as well.(it wouldn't surprise me if that is Sony's big announcement this year.) #20.1.1"
Anyways E3 starts tomorrow so we will see if what you said about the Vita having 80% ports will be true or not. Also i believe that you have a ton of faith in Nintendo with your comment where you claimed that Nintendo saved the Video game industry twice already once with the NES and the second time with the Wii and then you act like the PS2 didnt do anything which i find hard to believe since its the best selling console in gaming history.
V for Vita is closest to W for Winner.
