Reggie is the best thing to happen to Nintendo. He is able to BS everything they give him and make it sound interesting.

Wow. They didn't announce anything.
That was a HUGE disappointment. |

I knew it would be nothing major. The thing about Wii is they want people to play it. Last year was the year for kicking ass, this year is just a continuation of the same thing.

Well, overall, it was a big let down. No date or price announced. The big things were the speaker in the controller and the WiiConnect24. A couple of games announced but nothing surprising.
If Microsoft announces Halo 3 then Nintendo will, by far, be the worst conference of the show. |

I don't understand that though, because it's the games that will push the console. Thats what they've said and I guess they're hoping that they will get a lot of write-ups once the people play the games.
Did they say Mario is playable on the floor? I wanna hear how that works.... |

No they didn't say anything about Mario.
The thing is that Nintendo isn't pushing information about their console, they are pushing information about their games. This is good, but for another time and for the floor. If they have no interest in pushing the console then they should stop making them and focus completely on their games and handhelds. We have no price, no date, and some rather disappointing showings from their games. |

They can't run around going "OMG TEH GIGAHURTZ" because they're not in for that. But their games on their system is they only thing they can push. You're right about lack of price or date though, that was kinda stupid. |

I don't care about the specifications of the system, I wanted a price and date. The only thing we got is that it will be cheaper and at the end of the year. They pretty much just confirmed things that we have been pretty sure of all along.
Well Microsoft is in an hour so that's something to look forward to. |

Is there a chance they'll release price/date info before E3 is over? Or is that it for their conference

That's it. All they have is the show floor where they will probably talk about a couple of the games but that's about it.
I'm also disappointed there was no information on the online service. |

Why you looking forward to Microsoft DS? I think it will be a one-trick pony Halo 3 fest, a Live hand-job and little else. Although I'm hopeful, the choice between PS3 and 360 is a tough one at the moment so anything to make me choose quicker would be great. The only thing I can see Microsoft even possibly announcing is some developer they've got an exclusive with. I woujldn't flinch or be shocked if it's a GTA exclusive. |

It is. It's using Opera.
I'm interested in every conference. I'm sure it will be the same thing about how they have sold a ton of consoles and the Xbox was the better of last generation etc etc and then they'll show a bunch of stuff about games but I'm still interested to see what they have to offer. |

"Today I'm proud to announce a partnership with Warner Music Group to integrate [music] content into Lumines Live. " In other words, you'll be able to play music videos in the background as you play Lumines Live. The demo showed a Madonna vid playing in the background.

Announcement: Fable 2, shows trailer. Ok -- as far as pre-rendered trailers go, the Fable 2 trailer looked hot. We'll see what it looks like once it's pressed on a disc. Moore: "The next chapter of one of our bigest franchise. With Fable 2, Peter Molyneux will deliver a gaming experience more intimate than anything before it. " Moore welcomes Peter and Lionhead to Microsoft, audience applauds.
Fable 2. Expected, but great |

Another MSFT Game Studios exclusive: Forza Motorsport 2. Moore: "Now you can choose from over 300 cars to tune and paint. You can play with up to 11 other people. Here's the best part, Forza will bae available by the end of this holiday season." The Forza tralier is so loud that the bass is vibrating the loose folds on my pants leg. This is by far the loudest demo that we've seen yet. Graphically, it looks good, but we've yet to see a racing game (from Microsoft or Sony or otherwise) that is leagues ahead of PGR3. In addition, Microsoft will make a wireless wheel controller available.
