Who held their own at E3!? (or best nex-gen console!?)

Power Crunch · **Posted:** Sun May 14, 2006 11:19 pm

Just in case you didn't see what they have to offer at E3... go to http://www.ign.com and check it out. They have plenty of info and videos that are free. I am most excited about the Nintendo Wii, so's that's what I pick! Although I'm thinking the graphical horsepower of MGS4 on PS3 is going to be incredible! I mean, look at Heavenly Sword (I think that's the name).

I'm getting the Wii. First off, I can afford it. Second, SSBB. Thirdly, old school Nintendo Games. Fourth, there is no fourth.

Wii, but that doesn't mean I don't love sony. The Wii is cheep cheap cheep, and I am just a Nintendo fanboy. I have the previous 3 consoles on my shelf like a museum.There is no SSBB type game that I am like "ZOMG I have to buy that" on the PS3 like there is on the Wii.

The Wii. SSBB!

The others are to me mostly just small upgrades of previous systems. The Playstation 3 is also way overpriced.

Meh, I'm stickin' with my 'puter, I never really had a great liking for consoles(I hardly ever play with the ones I currently have). I have no need to buy another.

Alexander · **Posted:** Mon May 15, 2006 12:38 am

Wii. Because I'm a nintendo fangirl

.

Well, that's the first reason, but the others are:

1. Price, because I can't go above $200 for a concole.
2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. SSBB
5. Compatable with Gamecube software. I already have 22 games.
6. Virtual Console. No more needs to be said.
7. I only buy Nintendo products

Wii, but I'd prefer to get the PS3, (Killzone 2 and Warhawk with tilt control anybody?)

Only if I had 600 clams!

Acually, how can the Xbox 360 be considered a next-gen console when it's already out?

I think this poll should be changed to: "What company held the best E3?"

Really, none of them should be considered "next-gen" anymore. They're the current generation. We are currently in the "seventh generation" of console gaming, which includes those 3, plus the PSP and DS.

Picky Picky Picky! 360 is already out but the rest aren't... therefore perhaps we are in-between generations! lol. Making a Transistion?

The Wii, for sure.
I still have my old PS2, so I might bust out a few of those games from time to time. I might even buy a 64...

I am going with Sony for one reason: The is a new Gran Turismo coming.

lets see
the revolution has a horrid name(i still call it revolution because of this), but thats its only flaw
the 360 is kinda like a PC in itself, i dont need 2 PC's
the ps3=friggin expensive!
i can sell my gamecube and buy a revolution to save more money
the wireless controller and power button on remote
can hook up to monitor for gameplay in room
wifi...need i say more?
motion sensitive
all the cool games coming out for it

Have fun paying $600+.

The Wii/Nintendo easily dominated E3. So many good games, so many new features and whatnot. Nintendo has been testing my loyalty the past couple of months, and it finally delivered.

Defenitely the Revolution. I've always been a fan of Nintendo, especially the Mario series. I can't wait for Super Mario Galaxy and SSBB.

Not quite. The visitors don't get to play in the Superbowl. :mrgreen:

Though I would pay EXORBITANT amounts of cash to see that, believe you me!

No E3 is the World Series of Nerds.
The Tokyo game show is the superbowl.
Why you ask? I have no clue.

My local Funco Land is taking pre-orders for the Wii now. I made my pre-order 20 minutes ago.

But on the topic on who did best, The PS2 has ,what seems to be, the most anticipated titles: God of War II, Guitar Hero 2, Final Fantasy XII. The PS2 will still reign supreme for another year.

Twilight Princess will be released in two versions on both the Gamecube and the Wii on the same day.

I accually really don't want to go to E3 that badly, because the hardware and software will be coming eventually. I see no need to play 10 minute demos.

Though I do wish I could have played Metroid Prime 3: Corruption there.

Unfotunately... only press and related peoples in the industry get to play at E3. No general public allowed. Which is sad.

I am going to totally amaze you all by saying...

Nintendo! :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, Sony, but you went at it the wrong way, and Billy G., the only buzz I heard from your people is Halo 3, which was to be expected. Nintendo wins.

I never get this...

What is so great about realistic Raceing games?

I mean, so what. You hold down the (whatever) button and turn left and right, occasionaly using brakes to drift. Yawn. That's the thing about realisitc raceing games...as far as I know, they're is no way to make them exciteing.

Cybernetic Teenybopper · **Posted:** Wed May 17, 2006 3:41 am

Gee, I think racing games are pretty fun! it's not necessarily about the realism, it's about whipping around as fast as you can! I don't suppose you can really explain the appeal to someone who doesn't care for them, but all I know is, Diddy Kong Racing is one of my favorite games ever, and I'm so totally buying the port of it once it comes out. (It still has PIPSY! W00t!)

Gran Turismo is so good because it is so real. The graphics, the cars, the realisitc stats and the fantasy aspect. I mean, I don't think I will every be able to get behind the wheel of a Nissan Skyline GT-R, a BMW M5 or a Mercedes SLR McLaren. I will never be able to race the 24 Hours of LeMans, but I can do all that in this game. Plus there is also the thrill of competition. Going door-to-door with a guy for the win is as exciting as it gets.

Don't forget Mario Kart DS. In my own opinion, it is the best Mario Kart game out there. But I will agree that graphics don't make a racing game better.
