LOL all he needs to do is show new Mario, new Zelda, probably a new Mega Man, etc to make that crowd a bunch of drooling Pavlovians.

The fact that a year went by with no Wii U yet will certainly be something he better address to the crowd with release date and price info.

But the real factor is both Microsoft and Sony have to actually wow the crowds this year as well. Microsoft was HORRIBLE last year.

Well they've said up front that there won't be any price or release date info for Wii U at this show. I guess it would be a big deal if that changed. All we know is that it will be out before the end of the holiday season this year in Japan, US and... I think Europe.

Nintendo has two floor spaces at E3 this year so it might be interesting.

I think Nintendo is hedging way too much on the Wii U and their lack of interest in Wii lately has been terrible. Hell I moved to Xbox because Wii just has nothing of interest lately.

I'm afraid of that game. . Is there a demo?

Yeah, there's a demo.

It won't matter, though, you'll be hooked in a heartbeat.

I'm on pace to spend more time with this game than I did with Skyrim.

I need people to play with, though.

The learning curve is a little deep if you don't have a coach. I fumbled around forever before I figured out how to make torches (most vital item in the game almost). It's 1000% better when playing with friends. And turning the monsters off by playing in Peaceful mode.

Yeah it's pretty obvious they are moving to a new platform. That being said, I think things are worse here in the USA versus other parts of the world. Still, there are a few things coming out for Wii, just everyone is waiting to see WiiU I think.

So anyone playing Diablo III? Was listening to BBC last night and they were interviewing people in line to get it. Kind of funny.

Sheesh...

Somebody finished Diablo 3 in 12 hours [Update: Others did it in 7]
