Well, with all but one of the E3 conferences wrapped up, these are my biggest highlights.
- Far Cry 3. Fuck yes. Loved Far Cry 2 flaws and all, knew this was on the way, but happy to see it finally revealed.
- Mass Effect 3 footage on Game Trailers. The conference footage was a bit weak, but the two demos with Casey Hudson on GT were MUCH better.
- Vita price. Competitive and affordable. Will put needed pressure on Nintendo, and means I can actually get it if I want  .
- BF3 is gorgeous. Master race representing.
- Trackmania II is going to be all kinds of stupid amazing.
- Tomb Raider has potential to be good, but at the moment is an unknown. Impressive visual and conceptual demo. Fingers crossed its a deeper experience and the developers pull it off.
- Rayman Origins is going to be really great!
That's about it. Overall this E3 has, so far, been a lot of rehashing of already announced titles and very few original reveals. Lets see how Ninetndo do.

If it comes out here for any more than the US price, I'd be pretty disappointed. |
Uh, get ready to be disappointed then.

Vita looks impressive in tems of hardware, but I'm not really sold. I think the touch pad on the back looks annoying, and I think while they're going after a more casual crowd with the social networking stuff, they're unlikely to capture that market with games like Uncharted.
Sony did better than MS, but not by a whole lot. Nothing unexpected, really, except for SfXT coming to Vita (Fuck, that's a horrible name).

Difference being at least Sony and Nintendo have a wider assortment of rehashes to choose from.

Sony didn't show a whole lot in the end (where was Last Guardian?), but at no point did I feel any of the weird awkwardness that I got from Microsoft's address, which was composed of 60% WTF
I like the sound of the single screen multiplayer with the 3D TV and the ship level of Uncharted was awesome. PSV looks really good too.

So, what predictions/hopes for the Nintendo conference? My hope is extremely unlikely, but I want a date for the Ace Attourney/Layton crossover. More likely, we'll get Mario platformers, Smash and Kart for Cafe, and Kart for 3DS, and maybe another announcement of a major Ninty franchise.

2D Metroid for Project Cafe release day.
Shut up, a kid can dream...
Edit: I like the way you think, Ninja Shadow Wave.

Stayed awake through the Ubisoft conference, but that Sony one killed me, and I fell asleep while Dake was talking in the Uncharted gameplay.
Sounds like I didn't miss much by the looks of things anyway though, no big reveals.
Bring on Nintendo now...

I just want to know if Mario's hat is leather or cotton.
Id be happy with a 2 minute teaser of Mario, Bowser and Yoshi in an HD Mario 64 Style Mushroom Kingdom.
Oh, and Monster Hunter 4 for Cafe next year, or failing that, MH3 for 3DS this year.

I'm hoping there will be plenty of Cafe games shown, including current gen 3rd-party ports so we can get an idea of it's actual performance (in comparison to PS360), + some specs so we can get an idea of it's on-paper performance.
Hoping to hear how long everyone has had the console's SDK, and that it's been a while, or long enough to see some relatively complete looking games anyway. Also obviously hoping that the first-party games will be mind-blowingly awesome and that Nintendo in general display a great return to form from a core-gamer perspective.

Missed Sony, but eh looks like I didn't miss much.
So far the awesome:
BF3 MP. I actually cheered seeing the trailer this morning. God damn YES.
PS Vita pricing. Well done Sony, it's actually affordable.
And then there was everything else.
Man this E3 sucks. I had two fillings in one day today and that was more eventful, because I'm done with the dentist for a long time now and that made me happy. Also I was eating porridge while my face was numb and I felt really retarded, it was really amusing especially because I got it dripping down my mouth and onto my jumper.
Anyway bring on Ninty!

If we look at the price, US and Japan will get a good price for PS Vita but not for Europe or Australia.
The 3DS price is around 190-220 pounds, and it is around AUD 328 - 348. But the PS Vita will be priced around 249 - 299 pounds and I am afraid it will be more expensive than the 3DS in Australia.

My hopes is a significant new IP or HD Lylat Wars sequel on the Cafe.

I think everyone is forgetting what's most important from Nintendo...30 player online F-Zero developed by the same team behind GX!
