Oh you can level up your characters and customize their moves in Skylanders games, too.

I always enjoy E3s when there isn't a new console coming out because you get a more game-focused show.

Well, there were certainly more booth ladies when i went to E3 in the 1997-2001 era, but then, it was a more flamboyant, flashier show back then.  But there were still booth ladies when i was there two years ago.  I talked with a couple of them at Tecmo's booth for more than 30 minutes.  They were very nice.

What?  No Captain Toad on your list? :)

If you get bored, you're more than welcome to check out my E3 blog if you like.

Cool thing about Sword Kirby is that you can make him do the spin attack and Skyward Strike from the Zelda games in Triple Deluxe.

They were very sad. :)

I like the fact that it uses several motifs from Mario Paint (title screen, icons, etc.).  I loved me some Mario Paint on the SNES as a kid.

The game designer game I really liked was WarioWare D.I.Y.  Shame that didn't get more attention.  It was genius.

I don't think NIntendo needs a press conference.  They do pretty well with their Direct vidoes.

Not hyped for Pac-Man?!?  And no mention of Captain Toad either?  :)

I reviewed the third Gex game on PSOne back in the newspaper days.  Platforming was basic and sometimes fun, but the constant talking got annoying.  I don't think we'll see another Gex game, especially considering there's another Gecko on TV right now that has a bit more presence.

I'd like to go to it on Saturday, but It's probably too far and I can't drive anyway.  Too bad it wouldn't be like E3 or PAX and they'd let me cut in line since I was a member of the press. :)
