[SuperAfroBoy]

Sea of Thieves looks interesting, otherwise "meh".

Oh, and the artstyle of Cuphead is breathtaking, but I'll be getting that on PC.

 

[Tarvis]

I'm sure everyone is excited for a new Madden!

(Silence)

Good stuff.

 

[Tarvis]

omgggggggggggggggggggg Final Fantasy 7 remake is real.

so first day, ff7 remake thats cool, uncharted looked fun, fallout 4 GOAT.

really not a lot, but by far the best e3 in recent memory so far.

 

[Tarvis]

Honestly, I think Sony has won this year's E3. Their presentation was pretty good, and FF7 just blows it out of the water. Finally a big surprise in however many boring years it's been since the last big shocker of an E3. What would that have been, FF13 on Xbox? I'm not sure, but it's been a while.

While I doubt they can beat Sony's, Nintendo's conference should be interesting. Animal Crossing Wii U? Metroid? A real 3D Mario game? They already said no information on the next Zelda, but I can still hope they were lying. Should be a good day.

 

[Tarvis]

Oh yeah, new Xbox One controller, $149.99. lol.

omg online multiplayer co-op Zelda coming to 3DS.

 

[Logan]

Nintendo worst presser

 

[Tarvis]

Starfox Zero, GREAT!
Mario Maker looks fun.
Metroid game for 3DS, ok I guess - should be on Wii U.
New Zelda title for 3DS with Online CO-OP, GREAT!
Hyrule Warriors for 3DS, fine but I already have it and all the DLC on Wii U.
Mario Tennis Wii U, GREAT
Yarn Yoshi, looks fun
Mario & Luigi 3DS game, looks fun
Animal Crossing Board Game? Just rude to tease a real game and then it's some weird thing.
Animal Crossing home design, whatever this is.

Couple surprises, no big ones. Pretty disappointed in no 3D Mario, no new Metroid adventure, no Animal Crossing for Wii U. Overall, I liked it more than the Microsoft one, but kind of disappointing overall.

 

[Logan]

Metroid game for 3DS, ok I guess - should be on Wii U.

No Samus = Not Metroid

 

[Tarvis]

TRUE.
