They&#8217;re just gonna slow me down.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s beginning!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, <strong>ARMS<\/strong>. Why are they still wasting time on this? It comes out in&#8230; oh, no it&#8217;s a sizzle reel. I guess that&#8217;s okay then.<\/p>\n<p>Was that <strong>Rocket League<\/strong>? I don&#8217;t care, but I know many will be jazzed.<\/p>\n<p>God, do I ever love the <strong>Splatoon 2<\/strong> pink\/green colour scheme.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Reggie. Stop being philosophical, Reggie.\u00a0Just show me games. Or silly skits like previous years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XENOBLADE 2<\/strong>! HYPE! Great place to start!\u00a0It is even more anime than ever, but I don&#8217;t even care. Music seems dope, natch. Still slated for 2017, even!<\/p>\n<p>Kirby! New Kirby! Animal friends are back! And monster allies! And <em>good lord is it ever pretty!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hi Takahashi. I&#8217;m also glad that Switch has been so successful.<\/p>\n<p>Oh man, I sure would like to have a plush Bewear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pokk\u00e9n DX<\/strong>\u00a0is cool, but there was a whole thing about it last week&#8230; CORE POKEMON GAME ON SWITCH!? BWUUHHH!?!? YESSSSSSS<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s this space&#8230; <strong>Metroid! Prime! FOUR!<\/strong> EVERYONE LIE\u00a0ON THE GROUND<\/p>\n<p>Another Yarn Yoshi game?\u00a0Fortunately,\u00a0it&#8217;s <em>so<\/em> different (and upon closer inspection, it seems more like Felt Yoshi), it doesn&#8217;t even seem like overkill.<\/p>\n<p>I am so hype for <strong>Fire Emblem Warriors<\/strong>. Even more now that Girl Corrin is confirmed!<\/p>\n<p>Guh. I can&#8217;t believe that the Zelda gear is going to be enough to get me to buy <strong>Skyrim<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breath of the Wild<\/strong> DLC looks cool. But I still might pass until the rest of it comes out in winter. I will do my best to pass on those new amiibos, too, but I may need to splurge on Mipha.<\/p>\n<p>Shoo, Reggie! Tournaments are cool, but I&#8217;m here to see new games!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mario + Rabbids<\/strong> looks excellent. Like a ridiculous\u00a0take on <strong>XCOM<\/strong>. I honestly can&#8217;t wait. Good on you, Ubisoft, for finally doing <em>something<\/em> I have the slightest interest in.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah, there&#8217;s Rocket League. I still don&#8217;t care. Sorry. Cross-platform play is sweet, though.<\/p>\n<p>So now there are photorealistic dinosaurs in <strong>Super Mario Odyssey<\/strong>? Okay. That&#8217;s not the weirdest part by a long shot. The game looks completely insane and amazing, and is by far the most creative thing I&#8217;ve seen from E3 this year. And it&#8217;s out in October! Whoo!<\/p>\n<p>Is it just me, or did the Mario Odyssey song sound like it came directly out of <strong>Katamari Damacy<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>After a few minutes of reflection, yes, I think Nintendo &#8220;won&#8221; E3 quite handily this year. I was just so <em>bored<\/em> by most of Sony&#8217;s presentation, and I really do not give a single flip about whatever Microsoft is up to. Maybe I&#8217;ll type up a more thoughtful thing tonight.
