I’ll start by saying that Nintendo have the advantage for best E3 presentation as they actually have a new console to be showcased. Despite that, Nintendo present themselves really well in general. The fact is the 3DS has been updated before the conference which leaves...

It's been reported that the first 3DS roms have been successfully dumped, albeit there is no public means of playing these roms just yet. The group taking claim to the fame is "LGC" ... and so far they've dumped Super Monkey Ball 3D and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow...

Here we are one day before the big party starts. E3 doesn't "official" start until June 7th but major keynote speeches with all the big boys are happening as early as Monday so it's time to get pumped up folks!

Konami plans on unveiling its games before E3 in a press conference. This will be the first time a games company will have done this. Personally, I just don’t want to hear about more delays. If Metal Gear Rising is delayed, then that’s my year gone down the drain!
