Also looking forward to Gears 2, Tales of Vesperia, and Fallout 3 for the 360, though not as much as the Wii titles.

I haven't heard of The Conduit. time to google.

edit: googled, and I am now awaiting the arrival of this game.

CT DS will be out soon enough, and from what I understand, there's not much about it that makes it different from a straight port other than whatever this online play thing is. Graphics are the same, music is the same, though it will be using both screens and the touch interface... somehow. So, there might not be any point to making a big deal about it at E3, if it's even there.

The Wii doesn't need DVD playback; who doesn't already have a DVD player anyway? This is why the first REV didn't play DVDs.

I am hoping for info on a new Zelda, however. I finally got my hands on a Wii (brother's girlfriend went to Europe, let us have it while she was gone) a few weeks ago and got to play TP. I wanted to make it last as long as I could, so I decided to get all the heart pieces, bugs, bomb bags/upgrades and quiver upgrades, completed the Cave of Ordeals... all that side-questy stuff.

The only thing I couldn't do was get all the poes... I got all but 3 of them! So frustrating!

I didn't document the first ones I got, like I did the heart pieces, so now I don't know what ones I got and what ones I didn't, and I finally gave up and just finished the game. I logged 60 hours into it before I decided to beat it.

Anyway, after beating it, I was so depressed for 3 days because I was like, "*gasp* NO MORE ZELDA!!!"

I beat it the same day my 15 year old dog that I've had since she was 18 months old died, though, so that didn't help anything...

But yeah, I started trying to find out more about the next Zelda ever since I beat TP. I think we may well hear more about it this E3 though, and that's about all I'm looking forward to at all, but, I have a sickening addiction to Zelda, too.

I bet Nintendo will uncover perhaps a new Zelda game (it's been a while and the series isnt tired yet), perhaps a few other surprises that nobody will see coming like Geist 2, Pikmin 3, a new Luigi's Mansion game or something.

Chrono Trigger DS might be shown, more footage of the The Conduit (you bastards I want that), maybe a new Kirby title if they keep their promises.

Microsoft will probably show if it's real, the Wiimote style thing for 360, Gears 2, perhaps even a playable demo of Halo Wars, more footage of Fable 2, Gears 2 and Fallout 3.

Sony will probably rattle on about the latest updates, yet another trailer for Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 5 (only joking), Resistance 2 and maybe a sneak peek at more footage from the full Gran Turismo 5.

I wouldn't mind seeing some footage of Star Wars: Force Unleashed and SOCOM Confrontation

Wow, we haven't had a true Kirby game since Crystal Shards. And no, Air Ride does NOT count.

A new Kirby game would be great!

I wonder if Nintendo's ever going to make a new Earthbound/Mother game... THAT would be a shock, wouldn't it? I never played it and don't have any interest in playing it, but it had a very strong cult following and it would be nice to see said cult satisfied...

I'm hoping for Fable 2, fallout 3, Animal Crossing Wii (what? I like them), Gears 2, more Spore information, and Resident Evil 5.

For the PC I'm hoping on more Half-Life gamage and more Left 4 Dead.

If they come out with another Geist, it better live up to its potential and be more open-ended, because the first one was a big disappointment. And as for Zelda, I can't wait for the next one; TP was possibly the best in the series.

I wouldn't mind seeing some footage of Star Wars: Force Unleashed and SOCOM Confrontation

same here, i've seen footage of the Wii's duel mode, but I don't think I've seen single player footage. it may be awkward with the wiimote considering the main character holds his lightsabre backwards.

Not even heard of that game.

The E3 lineup is pretty lacking atm for Microsoft. Not many games that are must-haves announced. a lot of casual/family crap.
