A lot of big announcements by @Nintendo, @Sony and @Microsoft this year in Los Angeles at the LA Convention Center most notably the much anticipated Legend of Zelda game, a mobile app Pokimon Go game, a smaller XBox One dubbed the XBox One S, and a release date given for the Playstation VR. Just to name a few to get started. Make sure you follow E3 on Twitter @E3
Unfortunately, Nintendo would not announce a new console which the gaming industry is expecting to be the successor to Wii & Wii U, the NX. They announced a unique Pokimon Go smartphone game app that would use geo-location where users would go to different locations in their city using the game app to capture various types of Pokimon and for those who travel even be able to go to places where they are traveling in different cities. Think of a scavenger hunt where it's an interactive smart phone game app and you go to well known places in the city or wherever city you just so happen to be at. Nintendo promises that you won't have to go to no dark alley or seedy neighborhood in your city or that city.
Much anticipated they announced a new Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. "It’s not really accurate to describe Nintendo’s E3 2016 show floor presence as a booth — it’s more of a shrine. And that shrine is dedicated almost entirely to one thing: the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is launching on both the Wii U and NX some time next year."...see more HERE.
XBox used E3 as an opportunity to unveil what many fans and a lot of current XBox 360 users may have been waiting before deciding to commit to go over to the current gaming systems, the XBox One S. Many of us gamers have brought Playstations and XBoxes only to years later see a smaller compact version of the same system released (i.e. XBox 360 Slim, Playstation 2 Slim, and PS3 Slim). Also to compete with Sony Playstation VR, Oculus Rift, and other VR gaming devices, XBox announced Project Scorpio which is an XBox One with VR capabilities. A lot of XBox gaming titles were annouced with XBox Anywhere which if you start a game on XBox One you can continue playing on a Windows 10 PC bridging the gap between console gaming and PC.
The Sony Playstation press conference had quite a few surprises, a new God of War game, Playstation VR release date, a very ambitious Marvel, Sony, & Insomniac Studio produced Spiderman game, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, a new generation and VR compatible gameplay Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Batman Arkham VR, new generation Crash Bandicoot, Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission, & more.
