This week was the much awaited E3. Every year, developers show their new stuff there, and we were expected to get some really hot stuff this year. How was it? Well, let's recap a bit.

NINTENDO: Obviously the "Wii 2" was highly expected to be announced, and so it did. ...
The Wii U, as it is called, will have a very different controler, that even has a touch screen in it. It is huge, but seems to be pretty useful. Now, my thoughts on that: stupid.

Honestly, I don't know what Nintendo is thinking with this. Innovation is good, but when the controler is the main attraction of the system rather than the console itelf, you know something is not right. Oh that is right, they did that with the Wii! At the same time that it is the most succesful console of this generation, it didn't get a lot of third party support, since it was much weaker than the PS3 and the 360. The Big N seem to want to mix the uniqueness of the Wii, with the power of the PS3, and they themselves stated that the console will be more hardcore. I feel like the Wii U will be cumbersome, since the controler is so huge and different, and not really practical.

But, in all honesty, Nintendo always surprises us. A lot of people though bad of the DS when it was annouced, but people loved it. A friend of mine thinks it will be a mix of the 3DS and the Wii, but I'm skeptical.

SONY: Like Nintendo, Sony also had a console to annouce, the NGP, which was renamed PS Vita.

My thoughts on that? Awesome. It honestly surprised me a lot. I had already seen images of the console, and it really was a neat piece of hardware.

I do have a PSP, but we have to be honest and say that Sony didn't give it enough love. It was a very powerfull console, but lacked the innovation of the DS. The Vita will have a touch screen, acelerometer, and a text sensitive area in the back. It doesn't feel like that much innovation, but it just feels neat, and seems to work very well. Besides that, the support of games was very strong. Titles like ModNation Racers seemed awesome on it, as was LittleBigPlanet, and we can't forget the plethora of games already annouced for it, like Uncharted and Killzone. Besides that, the price was the same as the 3DS for one version, and a bit more expensive for another. It may seem a lot, but that thing looks so powerful, that I honestly don't think will be that big of an issue.

I hope the Vita becomes succesful, but only time can tell, like if the Wii U will be awesome or not.

Well, that is what I think of E3 this year, in terms of hardware. Just quickly, in terms of game, the ones that surprised me the most are all 3DS titles, like Luigi's Mansion 2. It just makes me more anxious to get one.
