"E3 2005"

Seriously, what are Nintendo doing this year? Haven't been following games much recently thanks to my lack of money, but really, what are Nintendo doing? All I can think of is: update on Zelda, talk about how revolutionary the Revolution will be and erm... a few new DS games?

Any solid information on what we can expect yet or not (Mario 128 perhaps)? Also, when is it?

*Gazes into crystal ball*

Mario 360 ;)

Dringo, calm down.

Indeed. So ... damage limitation?

But if Sony show something, and Ninty don't: there's your damage.

Well, they could. But it would be stupid vis-a-vis Zelda and no proper games yet, and I'd rather they didn't.

Why is MS doing so, anyway? I never really got that.

I'm thinking they'll try and show as much as possible.
They know how to get casual gamers excited.

But isn't, and probably won't.

So am I!
I'm not putting across my personal opinion here, but what will actually happen in the big, stupid world of gaming websites and magazines.

Not really, it'll still be there.
And they'll have had a year to hype up those casuals some more (i.e. what they do best) while Ninty will ... what? ... show absolutely nothing of the console until 6 months before launch?

Microtendo!

Er-no would be proud you're keeping his dream alive.

I would probably love the controller.

How you'd love it I don't want to know.

I certainly didn't love the NES controllers.
