It's that time of the year ladies and gentlemen. E3 is here, bringing us the best in games from now until the following year. This year, it's a bit harder for me to pick the winner of the big three conferences and here is why:
Microsoft brought the big guns early when we had more info on titles like Gears of War 3, Fable: The Journey and the big Halo 4, plus with Modern Warfare 3, seems that Microsoft was ready this year with their big titles. Not to mention all the nice add ons for the 360, like Youtube and the Kinect features, you wonder how they took the head start in the race.
Switching over to Sony, they knew that they were going in after what happened with the PSN. They kicked out the heavy games as well and introduced us to their new portable system that had many gamers look in amazement. Sony got their games ready for the world to see and amazed me at some points.
Nintendo came out to know that we are celebrating 25 years with The Legend of Zelda series. With more games coming out, Nintendo wanted the world to see that Mario Kart, Super Mario 3D, Luigi's Mansion 2, Star Fox 3D, the list can go on. But then they brought out the new toy of E3: The Wii U. Looks like a new system in the works and I was confused at first. Then, the titles that might be on this new system: Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham City and many other games, I even saw the man behind Bioshock talking about it. The kick for me? Off besides the Kid Icarus game, Sakurai said that the Super Smash Bros. series will be making a return to both the 3DS and the Wii U.
My opinion on who won? Sony has the edge in this case because they knew that they were going in with more coverage thanks to the outage. However, Nintendo gets my vote and stole the show (Come on, I never heard a reaction to Smash Bros. like that in a while). Got to give it to Nintendo for changing the gaming tables yet again
