So guys, what did you think of this year's E3? I thought almost everything was disappointing. I was most disappointed by Metroid Prime: Federation Force. A Metroid game without Samus is not much of a Metroid game. But who knows? Maybe she'll be the final boss! Wouldn't that be a hoot? Anyways, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam looks OK so far. I'm mostly talking about Nintendo's presentation because that's the one I watched. If someone could fill me in on the others, that would be nice. Thanks.

Well, I focused on Microsoft event of yesterday, I liked most of the games like Rare Replay with so many classics, then Recore who has one of the Metroid Prime series creators, the indie developers avalanche will be massive, early access also featured for this summer-fall

There is more stuff like hololens for january 2016, Retrocompatibility, Fallout 4, Doom, and many other games

I see. Does anyone feel that anyone "won" E3?

I'm going to actually say the opposite tbh. I'm highly intrigued in what is basically Hunters 2 on 3DS. In Metroid Prime and *shudders* Other M, the Galactic Federation has been quite the large power in the Metroid universe. While they are barely touched upon in the Prime Trilogy and Prime spin-offs, the Federation were very prominent in Other M. And let me tell you, from what you're given in Prime 3, Hunters, and Other M; there are many more people who could find themselves as capable in handling interplanetary missions as Samus would. Seeing new characters explore foreign planets in place of Samus is a warm welcome from me. I like Samus but someone else needs to step in.
If Nintendo play their cards right with Federation Force, we could get a large amount of insight into the Metroid Universe and into the Galactic Federation itself. From a lore and story standpoint, this is big. Like rather big.
Sure, our famous woman in power armour isn't with us and that's angering some hardcore Metroid fans. But at least we can still kick alien butt and find power-ups.

Overall, Nintendo's presentation was kinda neat. We got a whole bunch of new stuff but, due to the surge of Directs, there was a lot of stuff present that we already knew. Like for example, Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei (which I'm looking forward to) and various other games. This year's Nintendo E3 (while silly and had a decent amount of hype) just could not compare to last year. Not disappointing (as OP puts it) but not the best.

What are massive highlights for me thus far are: Bethesda's triple whammy of Fallout 4, Dishonored 2, and DOOM; Final Fantasy 7 remake (finally!) along with Shenmue 3 and The Last Guardian; and Microsoft's Conference and their Hololens.

Low points have to be: Microsoft bringing early access to Xbone; Nintendo failing to carry as much hype as last year (still a good show but not good enough); a severe lack of Trinen in the Nintendo Conference; and a few other moments.

To me, I think Microsoft and Sony are possibly tied for best conference. Although some people argue that Bethesda may have stolen the show.

I didn't get a chance to see Sony's event, what (aside from FFVII) they showed?

Shenmue 3 was announced. It's on Kickstarter. The Last Guardian (another game made by the guys who made Shadow of the Colossus) was announced. Project Morpheus was showcased. I haven't seen the full Conference so I don't know as to what else was covered.

All I need in my life is FF7 remake and KH3.

Nintendo didn't make the hype train they made last year. :<

KH III trailer was neat, and I can't wait until it comes out, but personally I want to play KH Unchained first so I get all the story, and so that I'm not confused at any point.

Meanwhile I hope Star Fox Zero has a decent story to it... Actually I can say that for all of Nintendo's announced games.
... And still waiting for Golden Sun 4...

Well, thinking back on it, maybe the most disappointing game for me is Animal Crossing: amiibo Party. Especially since you 100% need an AC amiibo for every player. I mean, I'll probably get the Isabelle amiibo anyways, because she's so cute, but damn!
