We'll also be taking many other titles over to the Twitch E3 booth throughout the week, so keep an eye on the main Twitch channel as well. The full broadcast schedule will be revealed at the beginning of E3 week.

Nintendo:

PLAY NINTENDO: NEW GAMES, NEW EVENTS AND LIVE, NONSTOP PROGRAMMING ON TAP FOR E3 2014

Super Smash Bros. Invitational
2014 will see the arrival of not one, but two new Super Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To commemorate this occasion, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Thousands of fans in the audience and countless more watching a live stream online will see new Super Smash Bros. characters clash with existing favorites in action for the first time. More important than declaring a winner, however, this event is a celebration of all things Super Smash Bros., and a great way for new and veteran fans to take part in a tribute to this legendary franchise. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans of the franchise can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be communicated shortly.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3
This year, Nintendo will offer fans a deeper look at Nintendo's biggest games of E3, with information directly from the source. The "Treehouse," the Product Development department at Nintendo of America, will provide in-depth game demos live and unscripted from Nintendo's booth. This new program will be live streamed during all hours of the E3 show. Fans can get settled in, open their browsers and experience the Nintendo games at E3 like never before.

More details about each event, including dates, times, locations and game content will be revealed shortly. To follow all of Nintendo's E3 activities, keep an eye on Nintendo's Facebook page, Twitter feed and YouTube channel.

Can we discuss what we're looking forward to/hoping for? I'm hoping SquareEnix have some good announcements. I've already heard there will be FFXIV update news but maybe, just maybe, we'll get a date for FXV?? Or at least something new ;; they're making this production as long as possible it seems.

The surprise announcements are always the best <3

 

[Captain Fabio]

EHHH MAAAA GAWDDDD!

It's that time of the year again and I can't wait... thing is it is so late for me and I work the next day! ><
So, I am going to have to watch it all back the next day, so I won't be taking part in any of the threads so I can watch it and experience it for myself. ​

​

 

[TRIFORCE89]

I am pumped. Can't wait. Gamer Christmas. All three of the big guys need to deliver this year.

 

[Kanzler]

Mostly looking out for Pokemon OR/AS. Half-life 3 plz

also more borderlands aaaah! civ beyond earth seems awesome too.

 

[Logan]

Arkham Knight Arkham Knight Arkham Knight...

That is all.

 

[Crunch Punch]

Really looking to see where Naughty Dog will take Uncharted, seeing as they lost so many individuals who were behind the previous iterations. It is one of my favourite series of all time so hopefully they don't screw this up...

Also I'm expecting some footage and release date for TLoU: Remastered.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Arkham Knight Arkham Knight Arkham Knight...

That is all.

That's coming in 2015, you know?

 

[Logan]

That's coming in 2015, you know?

Somewhat irrelevant don't you think? Just because it's not out in 2014 doesn't mean it won't be showcased in 2014.

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

Somewhat irrelevant don't you think? Just because it's not out in 2014 doesn't mean it won't be showcased in 2014.

Going off of this, it would make more sense for them to showcase and hype it up this year at one of the biggest gaming events of the year so when it finally does come out it will hopefully become a top seller after being displayed in front of such a large gaming audience.

 

[Spinosaurus]

All three will deliver this year.

But this is more important than anything else.

Going off of this, it would make more sense for them to showcase and hype it up this year at one of the biggest gaming events of the year so when it finally does come out it will hopefully become a top seller after being displayed in front of such a large gaming audience.

Being shown at E3 will not affect its sale, especially since it's shown to the minority. It's more of a hype generator than anything, but considering the game is delayed, then the novelty of having it at E3 isn't as significant, since hype dies with time.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Somewhat irrelevant don't you think? Just because it's not out in 2014 doesn't mean it won't be showcased in 2014.

Yeah, besides E 3 tends to show anything that will be release between a few months from the event to two years, if not more. So anything that has a likely release window of around 2 years is possible.

I hope they announce something about FF XV too...it's been all quite for that game since last E3... Also some news on KH III.

I hope we get a release date for Super Smash Bros. At least for the 3DS version, and one for ORAS too.

More excited for this year's E3 because of all of the new information we'll have regarding Smash 4! I'll probably watch both Sony's and Microsoft's conference on SPIKE. I'll definitely be watching Nintendo's conference and will try to keep up with the Smash gaming all day until I have to go to work. Games I am interested in seeing more of:

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Mortal Kombat X
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Star Wars: Battlefront
Halo 5: Guardians
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Hyrule Warriors
The Legend of Zelda for Wii U
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U
Yarn Yoshi
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Alien: Isolation
Uncharted 4 (it's about time)
Batman: Arkham Knight
Far Cry 4
Assassin's Creed: Unity

As far as "winners" go, it's pretty obvious that Nintendo has this one. xp

 

[Dragon]

E3 is tommorow guys! Anyone on board the hype train? :3

 

[Altairis]

I'm pretty excited to see what Nintendo has in store, especially regarding Zelda and ORAS ;) I don't really play many games aside from Nintendo ones, haha, so I'm mostly waiting for their news ^^ I also don't own an Xbox or PS4, so isn't really much I can do anyway.

 

[Dragon]

Guys, around 2h and 30 minutes for Microsoft's E3 conference! You can watch it here!

Any thoughts? Expectations? Hopes? c:

 

[Yuoaman]

guys there showinn cal of duyt my fav gam guys

Hopefully it gets more interesting from here, haha.

 

[Palkia]

Forza Motorsport 5 thingie on. Still waiting for a actual car to appear like last time.

 

[Leviathan]

I'm watching the Microsoft E3 out of sheer interest. So far there's been Call Of Duty and Forza games, neither of which games are to my liking. Yup, I made the right call in picking PS4.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Microsoft's E3 has got to be the most boring out of the big 3's...
None of the games have interested me so far. I'm thinking they'll be keeping last place in the year to come...
