[E3] Magical Nintendo Christmas [E3]

Greetings, loved ones.

Last night I dreamed that Nintendo's E3 started with red text on a white background that told us all to dig out our old Gamecubes. Once they were plugged in and hooked up, Nintendo started a countdown timer before pulsing a signal from a satellite they had in orbit for the occasion.

A new slot appeared on the front of the Gamecube, and the digital ghost of Satoru Iwata projected from it like a hologram to tell us world peace was in our hearts all along, but then the cassette tape he was recorded on inside the Gamecube got tangled and his voice turned into the voice of John F. Kennedy explaining that it was time to go to Mars.

Then I woke up.

I am pretty sure Nintendo's actual E3 conference is going to be marginally less deranged than that.

So it is down to you, and it is down to me, and it is down to Nintendo. With their presentation just fifteen minutes away, it all comes down to one simple thought:

Please be good.

( We come to you live from Nintendo's North Pole Complex... )

See you for the wrap-up sometime after my fingers cool down. *shove in ice water*

[E3] E3 Wrap Up! E3 Wrap Up! Sqrlmog's E3 2019 Blowout ENDS! [E3]

What did we learn from E3 this year, kids?

Well, we learned I'm a slut for Square and Marvel, but that hardly surprises anyone.

Aside from that:

WHAT WAS GOOD:
Next Xbox may have four-generation crossplay?
Phantasy Star Online 2 in English
SaGa
Ori 2
That game where you hug deer ladies to help them pass on
Doom Eternal
-Maybe- Age of Wonders Planetfall? This isn't usually My Thing being a 4X but ... dinosaurs
Watch_Dogs Legion
Giant soulful Khajiit eyes
The other SaGa
Crystal Chronicles
Dragon Quest Builders 2
Avengers
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: Now With Obscurities Only Sqrlmog Cares About
Smashy Smashy, Banjo Bashie. Also with Dragon Questers.
Panzer Dragoon!
Seiken 3 Remake
Animal Crossing New Horizons [provisionally, I'm watching you Nintendo]

WHAT WAS NOT SO GOOD:
Tom Clancy's Giant Fistfuls of Money
The Terraria trailer getting boned over
Star Wars looks real lukewarm
Saying nothing whatsoever about Baldur's Gate 3, but doing it conspicuously
For all the budget it's gotten, Cyberpunk 2077 looks like one stale ass whitebread dinner roll don't @ me.
Commander Keen mobile YEAHHHHHH I mean NOOOOOO
I'm never gonna catch up to FFXIV's plot, am I
STOP RELEASING GAMES IN NOVEMBER

I'll see you guys next year to do the E3 dance all over again. This year I felt like a lot of games... I dunno, they weren't for me. But there were games for me in the mix, and I hope there were games for you too. Video games are Still Good, and the people who make them and play them can get so much better. This hobby of ours is a deranged mess, with heavy crunches and a seriously toxic online culture robbing my will to go on, but I still love video games and I love sharing my excitement with all of you.

G'bye from E3, dears. May we meet again next year~
