Man, stop all these rhythm games, we don't need this many.
I appreciate giving people variety, but at what cost?
Really, I find that if you just have one of them, that's all you need.

I do hope they show off the DJ controller, though, just so I can find out how the hell it works.

EDIT: This is just a thought, but does anyone think Nintendo might show off a bit of WarioWare: Myself ("Made in Ore" in Japan)?
I would be incredibly interested in that; it looks like a ton of fun.

I'd Like Some news on Tales of Grace and any thing that's not wii music.

Isn't Tales of Graces the first Tales game for Wii? Not counting the ToS sequel, of course. Definitely looking forward to it.

I'm sure we will hear something about Wario Ware: Myself's US release from Nintendo.

And same here on Tales of Graces. Woo good Wii Tales game!

Here's the Modern Warefare 2 information from Game Informer:

Modern Warfare 2 Game Informer info. #1
I did a search but I couldn't find anything. Accord to the latest GI:

-No coop (for story)
-Special Forces mode, several missions in the spirit of Mile High Club (may have coop)
-More open ended gameplay
-No infinitely respawning enemies

There are scans somewhere on the internet.

And also, Part 1 of my E3 Predictions on Heretic-Gamer, this time on Nintendo.

Ahha! Among the dustry archives of NeoGAF, I have found my Nintendo E3 predictions post .

With that, let the predictions commence!

For Nintendo
I predict one or two big titles that people actually care about, along with two to four more first party games that Nintendo fans will go crazy trying to convince themselves will be awesome, but the less avid gaming fans will give a collective "eh" to. On top of that, Wii Fit Plus, some third party Wii Motion Plus games I can't get myself excited for. Still, however, I would be very satisfied if this situation occurred. If one of those big titles was Zelda, etc., I wouldn't leave Nintendo's conference disappointed.

In summary, I expect just like last year for there to be a lot of sales "We are great" talk from Reggie padding out what is actually a comparatively smaller lineup of games compared to what Sony and Microsoft show at their conferences. This small lineup could still be reasonably good, however.

Check back for Microsoft's E3 Predictions next! And be sure to stay on top of all of the latest E3 news in our forum.

Also, tomorrow, I'll be doing an E3 Predictions Podcast on Heretic-Gamer. Listen live and call in with questions or your own predictions!

Should be a fun time!

Blasphemy!

How could you all not be hoping for a zelda wii??? You all must be possessed by Demons!!!!

Just Kidding

I really am hoping for an F-ZERO wii, imagine the speed, the drama, the seizures!

Actually any fun Multiplayer would be nice. My siblings and I dont really play wii together as much as we did with our gamecube the Wii needs some good (single-wii) multiplayers.

I swear if nintendo doesnt come through....... i'll sell my Nintendo merch and move to the PS3 (as it has been doing so well in Japan lately)

The DJ Hero controller doesn't really look functional.

If you have to turn the turntable, how do you push the buttons?

^ Push them while you rotate it?
I dunno, that'd be like trying to play a moving flute.
I dunno exactly why they thought this idea for a game needed to be put into development.

I hope they announce or give some more info. on Half-Life 2 Episode 3.

It really wouldn't be that much different from F-Zero GX. Do you really want another game?

Also, see Wipeout HD. It's the same thing, except it's at 1080p and 60FPS. It's not until Nintendo could reach HD standards that I would want another F-Zero.

Me too! I just really got into the Half-Life series last summer, and I still have to complete Episode 2, but it's about time that the game is at least announced! I hope Source is finally upgraded significantly though. We've been seeing a retooling and upgrading of the Half-Life 2 engine for enough years now. I know the engine was made to scale, and it obviously has, but I would really love to see the next generation.

Edit:
PS3 Slim coming at E3?

That's what Playstation Lifestyle is reporting. But don't even bother reading the story, the link pretty much says it all. CNet has their own very good full analysis here. Basically, it's a rumor that came from a rumor that has grown some additional rumors since its announcement.

Perhaps the bigger point however is the final line of Playstation Lifestyle's article. "Expect something Colossal."

We can dream, right?

Sony better announce a price drop. It's the only thing preventing me from buying it.

Hm. Speculation is that it is a plane in the clouds.

I've read that you can see Solid Snake if you view the pic sideways. I cant see ****, to me it just looks like the smoke from a crash or a brushfire.

I can see it quite clearly. It's on the right half.

I'd like to see an announcement for MGS on the 360.

People think they can find all kinds of things in those clouds.

Oh, NO.
Anyone remember this?

OMG, I totally see Ridley in that cloud!

You know what? It was all YOUR (collective) fault Nintendo's E3 stunk last year. YOU spread rumours of a Sony/M-soft motion controller to kill the Wii!!!

A detailed explanation can be found in my thread

PS3 Slim Revealed?!!

Slim PS3 Revealed Via Chinese Factory Leak?
Rebranded "PS3" appears to be significantly smaller, sleeker.
By Nick Des Barres, 05/13/2009

Well, what do you know. On the very day Sony denied a redesigned PS3 was in the pipeline, images have surfaced on a Chinese gaming messageboard purporting to be leaked factory images of just that: A new PS3 "Slim" that appears well into production. Much more after the break.

If US retail boxes are already being printed and assembled, we have to imagine this new, rebranded "PS3" -- no sign of Spider-Man font anywhere -- is coming very soon, perhaps post-E3.

Will there be an accompanying price drop? Or is this simply a very, very well done fake? We'll know soon enough. For now, peep the vaguely illicit-looking cell phone cam images and speculate.

Looks kind of ugly in half the pics, BUT WOW IF TRUE!! Holy ****! Megaton!

it looks like they sliced a PS3 in half.

*GASP*

it's real. :O :O

MainTek is the company that makes PS3's

HOLY ****! THINGS JUST GOT REAL!?!?!

Alright, alright, suppose it's true...
Um... so what?
Does it have any different features? Or a price drop?
If it doesn't have either when it's announced, I fail to see what to get excited about.
It's a PS3 Lite.
