    Kid Icarus looks to be the first big non-port from Nintendo and the hands on impressions from it haven't really been glowing, coupled with the fact the controls screw over lefties, I'm not convinced this will be a system seller.
    Are people forgetting this exact situation happened with the DS launch and look how that turned out. Nintendo have Mario Kart, Starfox, Zelda coming this year for sure and maybe Mario 3D and Animal Crossing that is a very strong line up IMO. The 3DS also has some good third party support to look forward to. As for Kid Icarus, i really enjoyed the bit that i played on the tour.

      GT countdown on games they already know about that they hope to see more of at E3.



      Not sure I'd put MW3 or BF3 in that to be honest.

        Good list of games. I, for one, am extremely excited to see more of BF3

        Keep forgetting about Bioshock Infinate, that game looks immense.

          The 3DS at this time is well behind the pace set by the DS. It was ultimately Brain Training and Nintendogs that caused the DS to explode. Whilst Zelda and Star Fox will sell systems, they need to be mega hits to reverse the trend.

            A high-definition Devil May Cry collection will be announced for PlayStation 3 at E3, a source has told us. The collection is being made to commemorate the series’ upcoming 10th anniversary. …


            News item sounds completely bollocks, but its not really surprising if Capcom also goes the Classic HD route. And yeah, DMC is almost 10 years old.

              Sony are rumoured to be readying a PSN Store HD Collection. All the good times you remember from the PSN Store, remastered in HD. Relive the moment Xenogears came out on PSN by pretending to browse the new arrivals menu and then queueing a pretend download for it.

                With Nintendo and Sony showing new hardware, it wouldn't surprise me if MS showed a propaganda video on their next system.

                MS have the weakest show of the lot and if shown, such a video (much like the pretentious KZ 2 clip at e3 all those years ago lol) would show just what gamers can expect from the console. Except in reality, the system will be no where near the level they showed when the system finally gets released...

                    Cliffy B will leap on stage in such an animated frenzy that he'll spontaneously combust half way through trying to announce Bulletstorm 2.

                    It will later be discovered that he was made completely of chimps.

                      Motion controls seem to wear off, Wii sales etc are in a downwards spiral and Cafe is supposed put a bigger emphasis on core games than before. Just when Microsoft put most of its focus on Kinect and left the core gamer in the cold for a bit.

                      Their E3 lineup seems to be very big on motion controls, but is it what the crowd still wants?

                        They are going to lead on Gears 3 (space marines/chainsaws), Halo 2 HD (space marines/energy swords) and a Kinect Star Wars game (energy swords) and the swathe of cross platform stuff coming that MS have no doubt snared DLC-exclusivity arrangements for. It's the same every year - everyone claims Microsoft has nothing to show, and Sony are going to blow us away with a series of exclusive first party titles. And like a boxing match where one opponent throws a series of small jabs and seems to be on top before being dropped to the floor with a haymaker, you can't argue that Microsoft just tend to do a little, but what little they do is usually commercially very successful, appeals to the core, and continues to sell their console and peripheral.

                          With regards to Halo, I think they'll announce a new multiplayer focused title with the much rumoured Halo 1 HD remake as a bonus.

                            Intrigued as to why people think they already know everything MS are going to show... I don't, and I work there...

                              Welcome to the Internet dude! You're gonna love it here! Lol. Seriously though, good point.

                                We don't know, we can just safely assume, lol. MS hasn't had a note worthy E3 in several years.
