It's that time of year again where we grade each E3 conference by a company. I'm not going to rate EA, Ubisoft, or Square Enix's conferences as I did not see their conference. 

Microsoft:

B

Now technically, I shouldn't rate this as I didn't watch Microsoft's conference, but MS announcements were pretty awesome even if I'm not a huge of fan their games. I gotta give credit where its due.

Bethesda:

C+

I actually don't care for any of the games  they presented (not even Doom), but damn does Fallout 4 look awesome! Never played any of the Fallout games before I'm willing to give this a try.

Sony:

A+

Delivered their A game here. FF7 remake? Check. Shenmue 3? Check. The Last Guardian? Check. Now granted, I was not impressed with TLG's showing, but I loved Uncharted 4's gameplay. Sony mostly focused on games just like Microsoft so that's a huge plus.

Nintendo:

D-

You'd think after that awesome conference last year they would continue to have a successful digital event, right? WRONG! It's like they looked at last year's digital event and thought to themselves "Hmm, now can we not make this digital event nowhere near as good?" This is truly pitiful. If weren't for SF and Zelda 3DS, I would've given this an F without hesitation. Definitely their worst conference since E3 2008 (this is comparable to E3 2003), no contest.

Apparently, Iwata has tweeted acknowledging the unfavorable reaction towards the Nintendo Digital Event. This is what he had to say:

Only new Wii U game I really care about that was revealed on the direct...

I had low expectations for Nintendo and I still left being disappointed. That's how bad it was for me.

Devils Third info came out last week, new video and stuff. August release in Japan.. and I think World Wide?

I thought that video was for the Japanese Wii U owners.

they would of been better having the smash stuff, and that mini direct in the e3 presentation.... even if the stuff leaked!

 

no fatal frame trailer or date? come on... at least gimme a date. 

Hell I forgot about FF. And what about Devil's Third?

Talk about a complete 180 from last year....

Oh God, let's see how Ninty can top off Sony's conference because Sony's was amazing imo. 

Well, looks like there won't be any more smash games.

 

It was a nice run everyone. To the hackers: I understand, it's your thing. To the pro smashers: screw off and play a real game like Brawl or SMT Nocturne 3, Melee is an aged piece of garbage.

Nice bait mate.

There's also leaked models of additional Mii outfights for Zero from MMX, Isabelle, Mega Man EXE, Heihachi, Akira, and Jacky (yes Ryudo, from Virtua Fighter).

I can't believe this. It was sarcasm on my part. I am sorry for not making it more obvious

I know you were being sarcastic, I just hate the game that much.

we can only pray

No... 

Retro tweeting and hinting?

 

*fingers crossed*

I refuse to believe this is real. What's next, a sequel to Sonic '06?

To be honest, I didn't think they would make another M&S game after the Sochi Winter Games bombed in sales. Hopefully they will finally add In Rosalina. 

I wonder if Sega wil linclude Amiibo functionality and/or DLC for this game. 

That's quite a lot of cats in this thread.

I have two dogs that I adopted after my first one died, I might upload a picture of them when I get the chance.

Got mediator, I'm not too surprised. Having ADHD probably factored a lot. 

The Smash Ballot doesn't end until October so we won't know the results until then. That said, victory sound files for Ryu (from SF) and Roy (yes that Roy) as well as Ryu's Theme were found on the 3DS version of Smash 4 from the latest patch. So I'm inclined to believe that either will be revealed on E3. Like others have said, I'm not terribly excited about E3 and it's not simply because of the lack of Zelda U (though it certainly doesn't help either), but because E3 itself has been getting lame over the recent years. The obvious exception being Nintendo's conference and its post-conference coverage last year.

Don't worry about them. That friendly moon from the sky will make their problems go away once it crashes on the world.

Daily reminder that Nintendo is still do-*sees pic on the OP*

Well ****.

I really want to believe this, but I just can't. 

My thoughts are that Book 4 was just as boring as Book 2 and for all the hate Korrasami gets, the spirits deserve it more for ditching Korra when she pleaded them for help. So while everyone in the show are happy about the new spirit portal all I can is "Who gives a ****?". Oh sure, help Korra when she had that PTSD or attack Tonraq when he raided bandits in spirit territory, but when the Avatar asks for help? Disappear like the cowards you are. And speaking of Tonraq, where the hell was he in all of this? We only saw him in the first episode of the Book and a couple of flashbacks but that's it. You'd think Tonraq would be fighting alongside with his daughter just like in the previous book but nope. I can at least understand Desna and Eska being apathetic towards the whole ordeal, but Tonraq? ***** no. Don't even get me started on Kuvira's motivation for being a ******. "Oh I only to protected my nation because my parents abandoned me and that's why I became a mass murderer. Waah." Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about the whole Korrasami controversy, because at that point, I just stopped giving a ***** about the show altogether. I don't care if I get hated for this, but Book 4 was a huge letdown and I wished the series ended at Book 3 because that is the only book in the entire series that came to the quality of the original Avatar series. 

In retrospect, the series doesn't hold, not even on its own. Book 1 was okay but was plagued by its awful character development. Book 2, do I even have to explain? Book 3, again, the only book that ever came close to the Avatar series. Book 4, just flat-out boring

Overall rating: 5/10 (would've been a 3/10 if it wasn't for Book 3).

Some guy from a boy band that I don't care about leaving? This is far worse than the 150 people that died on that German airplane in France!

For some reason, this doesn't surprise me. MG (and I guess Castlevania to a small extent) is all Konami has to offer these days and it seemed inevitable that Kojima would be burned out. Then again, Kojima is a well-known troll so who knows.

Well I for one am not mad, I think it's pretty cool of Nintendo to do this.

Shocking I know.
