A glimmering star of hope finally showed itself at E3’s game expo this year. I take that back, not a glimmering star of hope rather a super nova of the ages. When Microsoft is licking its wounds all while trying to prove to everybody that it should be the console of choice Sony has all but won the hearts and minds of gamers throughout the world. But there have been numerous articles on why, so instead I will focus on the Underdog of this year’s convention.
Nintendo! Let me first start off by saying Sony and Microsoft had some great showings that ranged from Titan Fall to Final Fantasy XV but what Nintendo showed simply blew me away. The Wii U is growing on me more and more. Games galore with next gen graphics to boot! Nintendo showed off their first party games like never before. Games like The Wonderful 101 and Mario Cart. But these games were not the steal of the show. No, as a matter of fact it was two games that everyone seemed to seriously overlook. Bayonetta 2 and X. Both games looked amazing and should be enough to shut up anyone who says the Wii U is not a capable next gen system. Bayonetta 2 displayed a new look with short hair this time around but maintained her over the top feel of the original. Simply put Bayonetta 2 is turning out to be amazing. X on the other hand simply blew me away. I would not have expected it to look so good. Say what you will this game looks to be on par with Final Fantasy XV in terms of both graphics and game play. The amount of detail in this game is amazing.
People who have been blinded by Sony and Microsoft need to take a closer look at Nintendo. While they are definitely not making it easy for us consumers to see what it is they have to offer, I feel Nintendo is going to do just fine. Do yourself a big favor and check out what Nintendo has to offer, because you will not find their games on any other console.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
X looks so freaking amazing. One of my personally favorite games of E3 despite it's short trailer along with Final Fantasy XV, The Division, KH3, Bayonetta 2 and alot more. Hell this E3 was filled with amazing games. Easily the best in years.
As for X, I wish it was getting more attention and I wish more people would realize that it's a first party Nintendo game. Hope to see Nintendo do more stuff like this in the future.
