E3 2012 | June 4th to 7th | Nintendo's Software Showcase at 6PM PDT

[Justin]

Prepare yourself fellow TBTers as E3 2012 is just around the corner! E3 is the biggest gaming event of the year based at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Video game publishers from around the world come to E3 to show off their latest games and hardware. In less than two weeks we'll finally know the answers to all of the questions we've been asking.

Discuss the press conferences, the expo and more! The first post (this post!) will be constantly updated with the latest information including times and stream links for the press conferences. You'll also find summaries of the major announcements coming from the big three! Let me know if there's anything else you want to see.

I know there's already the other expo discussion thread but this thread offers so much more in the first post! Also, it's already at 15 pages.

LIVE CHAT ON THE IRC
enjoy E3 live together with your fellow TBTers​

Just like last year, a bunch of us will be watching the big conferences live together in the Bell Tree IRC. What's better than watching the conferences live? Watching them together with other people and making fun of Sony together! Okay, I might be kidding on the last one. Maybe. It just always works out that way...

NEW TRAILERS

E3 BINGO
play bingo while watching the big three conferences, here's an example​

I'll be making this one. I'm working on it right now! If you're curious what I mean by E3 Bingo, check out this Nintendo Direct Bingo I made a few months ago. Basically, you can follow the bingo card that someone makes while you watch the press conference and when something happens that is on the card you mark that spot. See if we can get a bingo!

Someone else who knows more about Microsoft at the moment should make this one. Post here if you want to claim the job! You'll get your Microsoft E3 Bingo featured in this post.

Someone else who knows more about Sony at the moment should make this one. Post here if you want to claim the job! You'll get your Sony E3 Bingo featured in this post.

Woo E3!

Can't wait to hang out in IRC this year. I'd recommend everyone to come during the conferences, it's awesome

 

[Keenan]

I saw the commercial for it while I was watching G4 with some friends today. I can't wait! Thanks for all the information too, Justin.

@Jas0n: I'll be in the IRC.

Damn the Sony one is kind of late. :/ Why not bump it to another date for better time, I dunno if I'll watch that this year. I hate still being in school when E3 comes on. Usually I miss Nintendo's. Not concerned with Microsoft, it'll probably be like the third year in a row where they push Kinect and then have some footage from the next CoD.

So the Starfox/Metroid crossover has been debunked. Apparently this was considered at some point though.

That sucks, actually sounded like it would have been a great title.

This information may be irrelevant since I think its been posted before but I'll post it anyway. I received an e-mail from Nintendo, here is the link to watch E3 live when Nintendo airs:

I know I shouldn't be but I'm so giddy about E3 ^^ I think that this year its going to be a great show, even better than previous!

 

[Justin]

Oh I'm so excited. This is going to be one of Nintendo's best E3s ever IMO. They have a brand new home console launching this year with plenty of software for it to show off. Plus, the 3DS is going into it's second year with lots of awesome games like Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion 2 and more to show off. It's going to be great.

...until Nintendo's E3 presentation starts

Plus, my Nintendo E3 bingo card is nearly complete! There may be some final tweaking based on input from you guys but it's almost done. I'll be posting it later today.

 

[Kaiaa]

I like your Bingo card Justin, I've never done one before! Maybe one of your spaces could be for Pokemon?
