E3 - Pre-Show Announcements Overwhelm, Entertain

New highlights include an "epic three-hour press conference" revealing Konami's new games, including screenshots of Metal Gear Acid for PSP, and elsewhere, screenshots and a preview of Metroid Prime Hunters for Nintendo DS, the announcement and screenshots of "unique armband"-toting EyeToy: AntiGrav for PS2, preview and screenshots of Mario 64x4 for Nintendo DS, and much, much more. What's been your favorite hardware or software revelation so far?

    "Obviously, graphics don't make for fun but they sure can enhance it a great deal"?

    Obviously you haven't been paying attention to the lessons of the modern game market. Gameplay comes 2nd or 3rd to graphics. Cool, not good, is what is important now.

    Lord I sound like such a curmudgeon...

    At least Nintendo have got some innovation in there rather than churning out the usual sports muck.

    Yes, they really innovated the hell out of: Animal Crossing DS, Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime: Hunters, an unnamed Super Mario Bros game, Super Mario 64X4, and WarioWare Inc.

    This certainly looks a lot fresher than the PSP offerings!
