I've been watching a lot of E3 while doing my day job, and it's all been said but here's all of my excitement:

Xbox One:
- Showed the games!
- Metal Gear!?!?!? Awesome!
- What the hell is a Quantum Break?
- Spark looks cool, a lot of potential to not be cool.
-  $499 is expectedly expensive.
- Titanfall, looks like COD with mechs. Pretty tired of most FPS games, but looks good.
- A ton of games and no talk about kinect or fantasy sports, very happy about this.
- Way to completely avoid talking about the ridiculous online and trading policies. Slow clap. 

EA:
- DICE making Battlefront, better be amazing!
- Skyscrapers falling in Battlefield 4, so good.. Love the BF co-op play
- Mirror's Edge, most under-appreciated game of this generation, sequel looks so good.
- EA Sports games don't look that good, guaranteed. 

Ubisoft:
- #girlwood
- Lebron james sized.
- I didn't really watch the Ubi conference.
- AssCreed is oversaturated and should go away for a while. I want to love those games again.

Sony:
- I like my Vita, nothing terribly exciting shown, poor little Vita.
- PS3 still strong, can't wait to play The Last of Us. Beyond Two Souls has too much action, makes me worried.
- PS4 exclusives look good, Infamous impressed me more than expected.
- PS4 indie games look GREAT. More into creativity over graphics at this point, indies seem to deliver.
- Message of being accomodating to the developers and gamers sits well.
- FF versus 13... I mean FF15 looks AMAZING to me, psyched for another radical FF change.
- Sony addresses and destroys Microsoft's online and used policies. A giant smile comes to my face as the E3 crowd cheers endlessly. A huge sigh of relief that the Microsoft-overlord way isn't the ultimate future.
- I tell my girlfriend I'll only buy a PS4 if it's $399... announcement, it's $399, $100 cheaper than Xbox One, the crowd goes wild!
- Sony releases a simple instructional video on how to share PS4 discs. Game, set, match. 

Nintendo:
- Nintendo Directs are extremely awkward.
- Nintendo has very little 3rd party support, but first party always looks great.
- Mario Kart 8 will be great... every Mario Kart is great.
- 3D Mario is unexpectedly a lot like Super Mario Land 3DS.. A little dissapointed but still a lot excited. Great multiplayer fun.
- Cat suits! Wierd, I'll take it.
- Bayonetta 2, super fun, doubt it stays exclusive.
- Smash Bros looks fun...
- MEGA MAN IN SMASH BROTHERS. Look at my avatar and read my profile, I freaking love Mega Man. I beat Mega Man 1 to 10, and X to X8 within the last 6 months alone. The character model in Smash Bros. look freaking amazing, his move set looks extremely accurate to the old Mega Man games. I guarantee I almost never play as any other character. This was the highlight of today.
- Wonderful 101 looks so good.
- I love Pikmin, that game should be released by now.
- 3DS Zelda game looks saweet. 

Various:
-  I enjoyed Geoff Keighley's interviews with the Xbox, Sony, and Nintendo guys. Actually asked pressing questions that each side didn't want to hear.
- Nintendo's Reggie should just fully admit that you buy a Nintendo system for Nintendo games, and that is it. It's been like that since the N64, but they still offer some of THE best games you can get.
- Microsoft needs to completely lose their policies and attempt to pretend they never existed for ANY hope to win this console launch. Even still, higher price point will hurt them a lot.
- Glad for the general lack of COD at this event. Nobody cares about that dog. 
- I pre-ordered my PS4 this morning at EB Games. The clerk told me a lot of people had come in to get the PS4, not a single one for the Xbox One. Microsoft should be alarmed and needs to put a lot of bandages on this oozing wound.

Now if that first-person Mega Man X reboot resurges, I might have a heart attack.

So if Mega Man and Kirby fought each other in Smash Bros., would they acquire the power to...steal other people's powers?!

They better just implode and the game should shut off in that case.
