I'm going to skip an introduction and jump straight into this. E3 was brilliant! (English much?) So many good games that were announced! However, with the good games, there were also the bad games... Let's talk about Microsoft.
Okay, you all might be completely against me for saying this, but I'm NOT a big Microsoft fan. We do own an Xbox 360, but the only one who uses it is my brother (which isn't very often). I, myself, own NO games for it at all. How do I put this? I feel that Xbox is all about first person shooter games, which I am not crazy about. Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of first person shooter games that I love, but they are definitely not my favorite. I'm more about adventure, RPG, and platforming games myself. Anyway, back on topic. I couldn't seem to enjoy Microsoft's press conference. I was literally bored out of my mind, that I gave up and stopped. It seemed like EVERYTHING was for Kinect. Just for the record, I will never, ever purchase a Kinect. I don't feel like spending the money, and it doesn't impress me at all. Yes, I have played Kinect before, which was somewhat fun. Not nearly as entertaining as Wii Sports or the PlayStation Move though. I felt like they were pushing the Kinect games a little too far. Plus, I don't know about you, but I like holding a controller when I play games.
Hopefully you guys don't bite my head off or anything, but this is entirely my opinion. I do admit that I should play some more Xbox games, but my motivation for that is close to zero. I bet if I gave it more of a chance, I would probably enjoy it. I know this isn't really a review for Microsoft's press conference. Especially since I haven't brought up a single game. Oh boy... le's skip this shall we?
Sony's press conference was much more enjoyable! The PlayStation Vita (PSV) seems pretty awesome! This should be out globally by the end of 2011. Most of the games that were announced seemed awesome! Ruin looked like an awesome game! There was also a Sly Cooper game announced as well. Bioshock Infinite was announced. I haven't played the Bioshock games, but hear they are great games! This one looked good too! They also announced another Bioshock game for the PSV as well.
Now onto my favorite, Nintendo! LOVED their press conference! The orchestra and the awesome Zelda opening made it 10x more thrilling! We got some pretty amazing games on the way! Of course Zelda, Skyward Sword! I know I shouldn't be saying this since I haven't played it yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be the BEST Zelda game yet! The art in the game was stunning! I love the cartoonish/anime style. Also, this is my favorite Link design yet, as well as Zelda's! The trailer revealed some awesome looking characters, gorgeous place settings, and not to mention all orchestrated music! My inner fan girl was rejoicing!
Now let's talk about some other games. The new Mario game for the 3DS looks amazing as well! We also got 2 Kirby games! Kirby Mass Attack for the DS and Kiry Wii! Both look adorably fun! xD
Kid Icarus look hella awesome! I. cannot. wait! Plus, a new Luigi's Mansion! Could it get any better!? LOVED the first Luigi's Mansion, and was not expecting a sequel at all! Totally surprised!
Some of the games, however, were not revealed during the press conference. Some like, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (which looks amazing! You know me, I'm a HUGE DQ fan!) A new Professor Layton games, FINALLY! The Last Specter. If you read my previous post, then you know I was anticipating this one. Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and Mario Party # ? (lost count) xD
Nintendo also announced a new system called the Wii U. I really don't want to get into this too much. It looks really neat, but I'm still iffy about it. Hopefully they'll make some minor changes. It is still early after all.
That about wraps it up for Nintendo's review. The only thing I was REALLY looking forward to was Dragon Quest X. Hopefully later this year we'll hear some stuff. It is coming out out the Wii after all.
So, that about sums up my E3 review/reactions. I know it may seem lame since I mainly focused on Nintendo. What can I say? I'm a Nintendo girl! ^^
Please let me know what you guys thought about it. I love to read other people's reactions!

**A side note! I promise next blog post will be about my journey to Colossalcon (anime convention). I just wanted to do an E3 blog post while it was still fresh! I'll also have a video and plenty of picture as well! :)
