A/N: I had this finished yesterday but a sudden maintenance closure prevented me from sharing. So don't tell me I'm jumping on a bandwagon.

Here I go, my first E3. I may be a day late but oh well. I boot up the laptop, plug in the speakers and check the live stream to see if the Sony Press Conference is on. No, surprisingly. Nintendo have just started. So with a big sigh and the hope Nintendo will give me a reason that isn't No More Heroes to buy a Wii, I click the vid feed.

And what do I see?

Some punk kid trying to snowboard.

Yep, my Nintendo Press Conference footage kicked off with the announcement of Shaun White's Snowboarding for the Wii. A pretty average game by the look of it and will certainly give SSX no sleepless nights. And whilst it's nice that the balance board isn't just being used to wipe Personal Trainers off the face of the earth, it's hardly a good enough reason for me to want a Wii. Then came Nintendo's big announcement for the Wii. Animal Crossing: City Life. Cue collective groan from the entire hardcore gaming club. The Wii Speech option sounds great but it's only a matter of time before 13-year old American's start hooplaing the place.

Then Reggie came on. And I agree with the rest of the world, he is annoying. He drew up some make believe sales stats and said the Wii is the biggest selling console in the entire world. He also noted that the Wii has the biggest library of games ever! What Reggie failed to mention whilst attempting to shove his head up his own ass is that: 1) That's like beating two quadruple amputees at Swingball and 2) At least 200 of the 388 games available are either crappy movie-to-game adaptations or shoddy mini-game packages.

Then he decided to shut up and show us a few games. First, OH SWEET MOTHER OF LORD YES!! Incase you don't know what I mean, Star Wars: Clone Wars will be coming to the Wii. Before you all think I've gone mad, let me qualify my statements by saying that this is based off the 20x3 minute animation series and not the Attack Of The Clones film. Can you also say, One-On-One Lightsaber Duels? Then there was the announcement that a new Raving Rabbidsgame coming and it's nice to know that Ubisoft actually care about this series. The Wii's innovative gadgets are being put to full use and whilst the balance board probably wasn't designed to sit on, it does look like good fun. Oh, and someone tell Wii developers that they don't need to use oblivious 4-year old in their trailers anymore. Finally, Call of Duty: World At War. It'll suck. NEXT!

Reggie left and the woman came to joy from the press and people sad enough to be watching. She came and said, "Hey, hardcore DS owners. Are you tired of being screwed over by us? Cos we sure as hell are!". Then came the 3 DS games announcements. First, Spore DS. If ever there was a Will Wright game that deserved to be on the DS, this is it. I'm very pleased. Then we got the announcement that Guitar Hero: On Tour had sold 400,000 copies in North America in the first week. Cue hand cramp jokes from audience. So we get a sequel, Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades. With song sharing. Just imagine how it works. But those were nothing compared to this. Grand Theft Auto is coming to the DS. No really. GRAND THEFT AUTO IS COMING TO DS! Grand Theft Auto: Chinatownsounds awesome and I'll just need to see gameplay to be backed up. This definitely makes me regret selling my DS. She then left us with something for left over casual audiences. Airpirt App and more Can't Decide What To Eat?Let Us Tell You What You're Going To Eat.

Reggie then came back to a collective groan from audiences worldwide. He demoed the Wii Motion Plus. It's meant to make your Wiimote even more accurate but that'll probably just make FPS's more annoying. He demonstrated this piece of hardware by revealing Wii Sports Resort. We saw three games: Doggie Disc Throwing, Splasdown Rip-off and Fencing Over A Shallow Pool Of Water. During this Reggie managed to do the following things: Force emotion, Suck and look like a pillock. He also called himself, "The Regginater". I'm sorry, but that's just hilarious. I'm gonna call him that everytime I see him. Well done Reggie! You've managed to embarrass yourself and the company yet again. Resort looks like it'll be the same as Wii Sports 1. Fun for one drunken night.

Then they all left the stage for smoke and strobe lighting. Nintendo's Big announcement is..... (F-Zero, F-Zero, F-Zero) A Drum Simulator!? The...?! Oh no, wait. It's Wii Music. Rock Band, eat your heart out! Actually, I shouldn't slag it off, it looks quite good. If Rock Band never makes it to the PS3 in the UK, I'll get this instead. The ceremony was then closed out by Mr. Nintendo and some unknowns playing an out-of-time version of the Mario Theme.

This year, Nintendo seems to have something going for them, with a great line-up of games for the hardcore and casual. Cha-Ching! Congratulations Nintendo! You can now count the number of reasons to own your console on two hands.

Games Announced: Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort, Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades, Wii Motion Plus, Can't Decide What To Eat? sequel, Airport application, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV, Call of Duty: World At War Wii, Shaun White's Snowboarding, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown.

Later, my Sony Press Conference thoughts, Thursday will be Microsoft and Friday will be the games.
