Did they show more than just that short clip of the new Castlevania that was shown at the Nintendo Press Conference yesterday? I'm REALLY interested in that. Yeah it was like 5 minutes. Looks pretty damned cool.

From the very short clip I saw yesterday, I love that it's a 2.5D game with the Belmonts and apparently a Metroidvania. I'm skeptical about the "deep combat mechanics" promoted, though. QTE needs to die a horrible death already and stop being in every action game ever.

And it ends. New SMB was the last thing.

Well, there's my 3DS purchase confirmed. GameStop's currently running a deal where you get a power battery pack and either Steel Diver or Pilotwings Resort(your choice) for free when you buy a 3DS. That's a pretty good deal. If you take advantage of that, definitely go with Pilotwings. Steel Diver suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Incoming Stupid Question:
I have a super game boy and remember it well. With that said, why don't any new consoles have a way to play the handheld games on "mother" console?
I understand some games just don't translate with the current gen systems (like how to use a stylus on a Wii) but it's something that's bugged me.
You'd think it would increase game sales.

Well, they did release the Game Boy Player a few years back for the GameCube. Maybe with the advent of the WiiU Game Pad we'll have a way to play DS/3DS games on our TV now. Game Pad could be the bottom screen, TV the top.

Money and all that. I meant more that me getting a 3DS is now an inevitable eventuality in the maybe-near future, haha.

Fire Emblem... Eh. Kind of one of those series - Nintendo has a lot of these - that I sort of want to get into, but I really just don't care for.
Speaking of series I have a hard time getting into, I take it by the lack of a mention of it that that Metroid / Star Fox thing isn't panning out?

So that gif means Sony and Microsoft were crap, Nintendo started well and put up a fight but still screwed up so Ubisoft won by default?
Anyway that was an underwhelming E3, I'm sure I'll enjoy some of those games but there doesn't appear to to be much to get excited about (other than the potential of the WiiU which I don't think was fully shown by the examples). I suppose those days are over as there's unlikely to be anymore huge leaps in technology for a while.

3DS is a no go for me i played my Brothers for a while and felt nauseous after playing it (the 3D effect was only half full). Shame as there is some games i'd be interested in playing. 3D in general makes me feel nauseous i can't sit in a cinema and watch a 3D movie for example. i tried to watch Avatar but threw up about 1/3 into the film . Sony have given me no reason to invest in a PS Vita coming off this E3.

I feel for you, I was disappointed that Portal gave me motion sickness so it must be way worse to have a whole console give you that effect.
