MICROSOFT E3 2015 REVIEW

*sighs* Microsoft...

You know, I've been uneasy about that company since the "Used Games Fee" Announcement.  Yes, I know they dropped it not long after the negative feedback it got, but it was one of those "never EVER think about it" situations.

It was the whole reason I was planning to jump ship to PlayStation 4 once a game I really wanted came out.  I'm still planning on getting one, but it looks like Microsoft finally gave me a reason to get an XBox One as well.  So, good job there, Microsoft. <_<

See you all for Sony's E3 Show!  Starts at 8 pm Central/9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific!

See ya later! :wave

Arkham Knight!  Main reason I'm getting a PS4, everyone! :)

As for the rest, I'm mainly looking at Firewatch.  However, I really hope Shenmue 3 happens!  It's been too long! :)

Okay, one last thing about the XBOX One being Backwards Compatible.  Turns out that they won't be able to do Kinect Games.

http://bit.ly/1FklhFs

Not too much of a loss for me.  Never got into those games.

Anyways, my final coverage will be Nintendo!  Show starts at 11 am Central/12 pm Eastern/9 am Pacific.

This will be only 45 minutes.  Let's see what they have for us.

See ya later! :wave

I'm waiting for the Nintendo direct, too. Losing some sleep for this, and have to work tonight, but I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. :)

Well, that wasn't as good as I had hoped... The new animal crossing games look fun, but I just have to see the details before I'm completely sold. I already pre-ordered the yarn yoshi game. Paper Jam looks awesome, think I'll get that. And the Star Fox game, I might get that for my brother.

Sad there was nothing on Pokemon or the Zelda for Wii U. Guess it's too far into the future.

I will admit that I am a sucker for Animal Crossing. (Despite the fact that they most likely end up collecting dust forever after a week or so.) For me, it'll be inevitable that I'll be getting those games.  The Amiibo one just might finally get me into the whole Amiibo craze. (If you MUST know, the stories of there being a lack of availability and some forced to buy from those who charge you 2 to 5 times as much has been holding me back.)

Super Mario Maker is definitely on my list!  Along with the Star Fox, Yoshi and Metroid games.  I'm a sucker for those three! :)

I'm definatley getting Xenoblade X when it comes out in december. Been waiting for that since I got to play Xenoblade Chronicles, and see how awesome of a game it was.

Will probably get Super Mario Maker. Not sure if I'll really make any good levels in it, but it'll be fun just to get to play tons of levels other people make with it. I'm waiting to see if it has online to get other peoples levels to play with, as that's what I'd mostly use it for.

Paper Jam looks like it could be awesome. I was wanting a new Paper Mario game this year, but I wasn't even thinking about a Mario & Luigi/Paper Mario Crossover. I love both series, so hopefully they can find a way to bring them both together that works. I'll keep an eye on it.

Not sure on Starfox yet. Not realy something I was hyped for before. Guess I'll just see what I thikn of it around when it comes out.

So, what did everyone think of the whole "Puppet Presentation" Nintendo did here?  I, myself, found it quite unique and entertaining.

Edit: Oh, and also...

As for the Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi Crossover, I'm not sure. On the one hand, the last Mario & Luigi game was the best of that wonderful series. It could continue to be enjoyable. On the other hand, the last Paper Mario game was severely disappointing. Seeing how a certain crown character is still around, (whom I came to hate with a passion in the game) I am seriously not looking forward to her being around. If they plan on putting in the battle elements of the last Paper Mario game, I will be quite hesitant in getting it. I really did not enjoy what they did with it.

Oh, and LoZ: Triforce Heroes is also on my list.

Most of the conferences were good, but I'm not sure which conference was worse: Square enix or EA's. Both made me want to perform seppuku.
