Gahhh.... I had to pick up my son from pre-school and then had a conference call. I missed all of this. Oh well from what you guys have said it looks good. Can't wait to see some video.

Oh cool, the 3DS will also support NetFlix. No major shock really since Netflix is supported everywhere now, but it's still cool to see.

Well this was cool. Too bad we can't attent stuff they mentioned like the Retro Studios dev roundtable. I'm glad they didn't whore the event by just pimping their games but instead actually discussing things and showing information relevant to developers rather than just customers. Although I feel this may come back to bite them. Sony could just show a 30 minute presentation of Sorcery and, regardless of which game is better (we can't know until both release I suppose) get more attention for their motion controls than the so very brief Skyward Sword footage. But I liked Nintendo's attitude here, they gave the event its due respect. Hype can be at E3.

I think SMG2 should win best game design.

RDR won... ok. It has great design but I would put ME2 and SMG2 ahead of it.
