I'm excited for Skyward Sword to say the least (then again, I'm always excited for a new Zelda game), although I wasn't really impressed with the WiiU. The controller seems a bit off-putting, although maybe with time one could get used to it (and I'm curious to how exactly they can implement it for futur games). Basically, the WiiU is one big Nintendo DS. The possibility of playing 5 players is kinda cool though.

One thing though is that I find Sony could possibly do something similar to the WiiU by using the Vita as an actual controller for the PS3 or any futur console they decide to make (although I have no clue if that would be anytime soon) and if they do, Nintendo might be in a little trouble. I'm also excited for Skyrim, although I'm probably not going to play it since I'm terrible at FPS games in general (unless the 3rd person is easier to control, then I'll definately try it). I'll watch my boyfriend play it though^^

I'll probably be getting a 3DS sometime in the future, since right now money is extremely scarce and I need it for food :/. Ocarina of time, Starfox64 and Paper Mario are probably going to be my top buys.

5 bucks says that at next years E3 conference nintendo announces that the WiiU also does 3D for those fancy 3D tvs (of course his is optional for games).

I really think Nintendo is trolling Microsoft and Sony while living off the fresh lifeblood of the non-gamer market.

Could I get some links to the more exciting/entertaining parts of Nintendo's conference?

Right now my gaming goes between my Wii, DS and PC.
 

This, with emphasis on "future"

Just add Link's Awakening and that free Four Swords game to the list ^_^.

The PSVita has nice hardware but, I've never bought a console just for it's hardware, I buy it because it has games I know I'll like. Then again, if the PSVita gets anything that interests me, and I have some extra money, I could get one.

Also, NonCon, you said that the Vita would be region free, IIRC, the Vita will get it's games like the Go did, i.e. via downloads. How would region free impact it? How do you think it would work?

I get to see stuff for the next Hitman game. Trying to get to E3 early to check out ME3. Also gonna try and check out Dead Island and Silent Hill Downpour. Today is my actual appointment for FFXIII-2, so I may be in a situation where I can ask questions about it, so if you guys have any not-rude questions you think I should ask, let me know. Same for Hitman.

I'll try to check out some Nintendo and PS Vita stuff, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. Nintendo is the king of long lines, and that's time I could spend checking out other stuff. I can't figure out where Sony keeps their PS Vitas, and I wonder if it might be something I'd need an appointment to check out.

I forgot to mention I checked out No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise yesterday with Playstation Move controls. I think the Playstation Move controls are actually less responsive than the Wii remote ones, but you can also play with a regular controller, so cool.

Also forgot to mention I checked out Ninja Gaiden 3 which is disappointing if you go in expecting something that has the same strengths Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2 had, which I did.

I'm not sure if I could find a clip of Reggie saying "deeper and wider." That was the only entertaining part.

Actually, IIRC it uses cartridges.

Limiting content via payment methods and other checks.
It's already done on the PS3.

I can't get paid content from the PSN since I don't have an American credit card (circumventable, of course), and if I do get that content, I need an American game disc.

For Vita:
Can't get paid content from PSN since you don't have the proper credit card.
Content bought from the US store would only work on US handhelds, EU store on EU handhelds.

It's certainly possible.

EDIT: Wait. Shit. I completely misinterpreted that post, didn't I?

Argh!

Pretty much this. I thought the new Wii U controller looked terrible to use.

So is the PSVita going to have access to the same PSOne list as the PS3 does from PSN? Cause uh...portable Legend of Mana might be the biggest deal-maker for me.

The Wii U controller would be really neat and exciting if every player could use one, and I look forward to Nintendo announcing that I'm wrong about that not being the case. I mean, it isn't an issue of processing power; we've been scaling down multiplayer graphics since the Super Nintendo. Maybe it's a channel thing concerning the magic electro-waves that I don't understand.

As for Grimpond's timely reminder, thanks. There are numbers on the spells and everything. I'm dumb. Go here: http://e3.nintendo.com. There's way more info here than during their conference, split into non-continuous chunks (as opposed to a ninety minute presentation) suited for today's man on the go.

Just don't watch the Game Guide stuff. It's just someone saying stuff that's self-evident from the trailers over clips of said trailers. You don't even get to watch her play the game. Just watch the trailers and cut out the middle-man.
