E3 2012

P-100 looks awesome, but the one I missed somehow was Tank Tank Tank getting ported. Thats awesome. For those who dont know TTT is an arcade game, like Tokyo Wars or Alien Front. Its fast, fun, and explosively. It is not a system seller, but if it is online it will be a popular one. I saw it in an arcade a couple years ago (it came out in 09) and blew several dollars on it that day. It is almost enough to make the WiiU a guaranteed day one buy for me.

Agreed. They have the arcade machine here and it is a TON of fun. Not sure why it would only be on WiiU though.

Any ideas if the WiiU will be available in black at launch?

I really like the color black and it will match my 3DS, which is also black.

Who knows....how many of those original Wii colors did we see?

I saw something from someone (IGN maybe?) on Twitter that black would not be available at launch, but would a couple months in. That may be a marketing/branding thing to not confuse non-gamers at launch. (flimsy I know).

Especially since the Wii probably got more total sales while white than black.

Which has nothing to do with the fact that it took many years before Black was available.

Yeah well I know if they had both available at launch they would sell way more black ones to me (1), than white ones (0).

Apparently, Sony neglected to mention they have 25 new Vita games.

I'm so glad they decided to skip that silly stuff in favor of Wonderbook.

Between Nintendo not mentioning FE until after FOUR E3 events and this, I'm starting to think the big 3 agreed to troll fans this year collaboratively.

i know i posted earlier about some of the reasons E3 didn't suck, but Luke Plunkett wrote an excellent article that expands greatly on some of the problems I was hinting at in the first few paragraphs of that post. Very much worth a read:

That was a really good article. I'm surprised actually

Why so? Plunkett regularly writes good stuff, and the site usually has a few thought-provoking articles a week...
