Can Someone Tell me What its like at E3? never been there, always Dreamed. It would be a mass destruction of Ultimate gamers. I remember this movie on disney where this little kid took on 2 teens in Super mario(original nintendo) i Wish they still had that.... think we can convince em? >:)

That was the first time anyone had seen SMB3 - the game hadn't even been released yet, but was given a sneak preview in the film, massive advertising ploy. I actually mentioned it in the extremely long history of Nintendo thread I posted on these forums many moons ago.

They did a similar thing in the film "Hackers", with what looked like a souped up version of Wipeout 2097 (Wipeout XL for our colonial friends), although it did appear to have been more than slightly modified. Dunno, I might have to rent the film again now, in hindsight it could quite easily have been a *very* early glimpse of Wipeout 3.

As for your request... errrrr, no. :P

I plan to go this year coming, funds allowing. ;)
Problem with E3 is that in order to be allowed a ticket (entry is free btw - just not if you want to give a talk or host a display) you have to be a member of the "entertainment industry", by that they mean the gaming industry althouh they're not exactly known for their strict standards. ;)

Find someone you know who has something to do with the media, gaming sales, games production etc. and whinge at them to go to LA with you, and they can get you in. ;)

I only actually realised I qualify to go last year - I'm starting up an online gaming company with some friends, and we're developing our own titles to be hosted on it, which means we're actually allowed entry; much to my delight. ;)
