Introduction to E3

If your a video game fan, especially a Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft (or all three) fan, then you should be excited about E3.

E3 is the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Its held once a year in Los Angeles. This year is being held JUNE 4-7. The event is Press and Game Developers/Publishers ONLY (though I do think some rich and/or famous people get to attend too). Its NOT open to the general public (folks like us).

The event starts with Press Conferences from the major publishers: Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. They each announce all their upcoming games for this year (and beyond!). Microsoft usually goes on Monday and Nintendo & Sony one Tuesday. (I'll update with the full schedule when I have it).

There's also press conferences from Game Developers like EA (Electronic Arts), Ubisoft, Capcom, etc.

E3 also has a convention floor where all the games (and new systems sometimes) are shown off to the Press.

In America, the Press Conferences are shown on a TV network called G4. Its a Video game network (although, lately, it shows more than just video games. *sigh* ). They air the conferences and then show some footage from the convention floor too.

But the Conferences can be found Online also!

I'll try to post some links to them when I find them (closer to E3).

Anyway, if your a video game fan, get excited! Some cool stuff is always announced at these events.

What I'm hoping for: Animal Crossing 3DS footage!!! (hoping the game itself is shown again before E3 and a release date is announced...but who knows...sigh...).

Remember, E3 is JUNE 4-7! :)
