If you ever want to learn how not to hold an E3 event, then you should watch last year's Nintendo conference. After the terrible backlash from loyal fans, the big N has promised a much better E3 this year.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
I'm not expecting much from Nintendo after last year
Remember the soccer mom last year? Talking about nothing related to gaming. What a joke. Expect to see sales charts and that soccer moms trip to whistler.
I might write Nintendo off if they don't announce something halfway decent this year.
All i want is another Zelda and Mario announced this year. That would be the only thing anyone will be talking about.
*OMG- just read that a new Mario is dropping in Japan this year!!*
E3 rules so far for me, imho!!

Pfft. As long as they announce a virtual handheld they're sorted for me.
But there is quite a lot of stuff I want announced and/or talked about. Top of the list is the 6 games Square Enix and Intelligent Systems are making, especially Dragon Quest Wars!
