Crusin' Blast was a welcome announcement, but the Advanced Wars 1 & 2 Remake was just a delightful surprise. Metroid Dread was interesting and the Breath of the Wild 2 gameplay was sufficient. Overall, it was poorly paced, but the show was okay. Not much to get excited for, at least in my opinion.

They're called leftovers.

The lack of Doritos' residue on the door, or Mountain Dew inside, takes you completely out of the experience. 7.5 out of 10.

Microsoft needed to push exclusives and they did. No Fable is a bummer, but more Perfect Dark or a Conker or Banjo Kazooie reveal would have brought the house down. It's probably because of that that I personally feel like the overall conference needed to fill a gap that held it back from being great. That gap was probably supposed to be Halo, but until Master Chief fights the team up of the Doom guy and Isabelle of Animal Crossing, I don't care.

At least the longtime doubters of inevitability have something to look forward to now.

The real news here is that Kojima cut something to even make a Go Postal edition.

I respect the fact that it's hard to turn away from an industry standard that's almost 30 years old, and rightfully so, but if the Big 3 suddenly pivoted from how we see their respective products, as everything gaming once did from CES, then they could do it again. I'm confident a news outlet, social media site, or word of mouth would reach a casual fine. A gamer needs a reason; a casual needs a place.

As for games failing to be noticed in a hypothetical Big 3 a...

In this day and technical age, it's a safe assumption that all of the Big 3 could easily prove they don't need E3, whether we like it or not.

I envy you, Scoota!

Thankfully a lot of people are reporting no controller issue now with the update. Sony says the DualSense update improves stability, which isn't a particularly helpful description.

The controller battery indicator bug is fixed, which is terrific, but Sony needs to update the unintuitive UI and bring folders back.

And here I thought anything was possible in the Hundred Acre Wood.

No sir, we don't talk about "Cram-it" the Frog, the bastard.

Oh, you mean the "whoa-shit"'s? I wasn't a fan either.

I would instantly buy it if they changed the name to - Jedi: Fallen Spider. I mean, I've never seen more spiders in any game, and that includes Resident Evil.

Some truth in advertising here, as they must really know something(y) that I don't know.

I'd have their respective heads of each company remake the N64 Super Smash Brothers commercial, before then letting them continue to run their own companies as before.

RomUniverse should have offered the ROMS for free or for "preservation" instead of charging users for premium accounts, so that was a stupid move. Probably still would have been sued, but it reads more like they were asking for it.

Now if Nintendo, on the other hand, offered a way to play their back catalog legally they wouldn't have these issues. That's just poor business by not building your classic catalog with Switch's online service to give player...

You mean that game that was retitled: "We don't have anything to share right now"? Seriously though, I feel you should get a snippet of something this year, which may or may not be gameplay.

A 40-minute Nintendo Direct will air on June 15th at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe, featuring Switch titles “mainly releasing in 2021.”

Seems odd to me that Nintendo's plans are on the last day.

Sony is possibly trying to deal with the spambots most likely.
