May 11th, 2006One Day Done, Can't Be Worse
This is my first E3 and damn hopefully every day won't be as bad as today was. From LA traffic to almost losing my drivers license to actually losing my E3 press pass (they dont give you reprints), it was a pretty long and crazy day. Luckily I can still get into E3 (dont ask how I pulled that one off!), and bring the latest pictures and (hopefully) video. We did actually get some video today but it was pretty bad. We figured out what went wrong and are going to re-do it in the next day or two.
Tomorrow I am basically going to be waiting in line to play the Wii. When I stopped by the Nintendo booth today it was about a 3 hour wait to get any playtime. Since the first day I wanted to get the lay of the land and not wait in line all afternoon, Ill make sure tomorrow I actually do get to play the Wii. The plan after that is to get some gameplay video of the DS and hopefully of the Wii. I do not know if Nintendo will allow me to record in the Wii area, but I will certainly try!
I didn't play very many games today, but of the ones I did try Dragon Quest Slime and Final Fantasy III really stood out. The Dragon Quest entry for the DS has some pretty innoviative gameplay features and is looking to be an awesome game. Final Fantasy III looked excellent. Taking alot from Final Fantasy 9, the game was showing very nice 3d effects. Definately a must buy for me. There were also some non-Nintendo items that looked excellent, including Diagaea 2, CivCity, the FEAR expansion, Conan and Neverwinter Nights 2.
I can't believe how tired I am for it only being 10 pm. Well, I'm off and I'll be back tomorrow!
