Other nintendo news:

New Type in Pokemon. Fairy type

Would legitimately re-buy that game

Duke 2.0

I'm not really paying much attention to E3 this year, but I'm really liking the look of Megaman in the new SSB.

Cilla Black

Microsoft presentation was fine. It was games and nothing but games. They may or may not have been games you are interested in, but as a presentation, it was exactly what Microsoft needed to do.

Until Sony ruined all that, of course.

Peccavi

The XCOM shooter looks pretty cool!

Finally a use for the best Pokemon: Jigglypuff

Suck it dragon types

I don't want to argue about HARDCORE VERSUS CASUAL but I'm really sad that sakurai has basically stated that he is against 'hardcore' play.

Because I think we can all agree that good online play is about letting people play the game how they want.

Langly

Edited in bullet points for the three press thingies, let me know if I missed anything.

Machwing

I'm totally jaded about video games at this point. Stills hella excited about smash

huh! that would follow, what with the 'edgier' art style and the whole tattoo thing in the trailer

i'm perfectly okay with them attempting to make the setting actually compelling this time around

Dichotomy

drivatar to be the next new smash bros. character

Cilla Black

This is a good year for jaded people, actually

There is a lot to help thaw out even the most jaded of hearts

Not universally, but the lineup of stuff is really solid

Sweeney Tom

I almost had a heart attack during that 5 minutes where both FFXVersus and KH3 were shown.

This is the best approach they could take anyway. There's just no way for them to balance the game for the hardcore without being a fighting game company. Best they can do is try to make it fun first and foremost and, ideally, work behind the scenes fixing glaring issues the hardcore community finds as they play.

Did anyone else notice that they had yellow devil in mega mans reveal video

Okay, lets blow your mind here ladies and gents.

Turambar

Mewtwo was almost in Brawl and is getting a new form in X/Y so he's definitely in

Yeah, the narrative currently in the media that is so hilariously sad is that microsoft did really well, but then it all was quickly forgotten.
