Donkey Kong leaked yesterday. Other than that I think they hit it out of the park.

Oh I had never heard it until today. Probably for the best, as it's got me excited now

I heard about it on GAF. The saying there is GAF->Internet->GAF. It's slowly been becoming GAF->World->GAF though.

What is GAF? Apparently it goes GAF -> World -> GAF -> rarisgod.

GAF is short for NeoGAF, which short for New Gaming Age Forums. And, under normal circumstances, this would be the world stage before it goes back to GAF. But it was E3, so things are a little different. Also the slim X360 leaked two days ago.

Well in attemping to visit, I'm getting an Internal Server Error. I was only able to access the main page.
This could be due to the 6939 currently active users.

It seems watching the Nintendo conference, Nintendo just told me what they were doing and managed to sell me a bunch of stuff. Sony is trying to sell me a bunch of stuff that I don't want.

Yeah, the extra 2,000 around E3 makes the site hard to use. If you decide to join you probably won't be able to post for more than a year.

E3 Trailers:

Donkey Kong - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aMaBETX-xg (so excited!)
Zelda - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dYgrMz_XBI
Mario Sports Mix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoDUk_7yoqE
Kirby - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvULlC9c7xg
Kid Icarus (for the 3DS) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCn4qcCKhAo
Metroid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV4O5CrQDB8
Disney Epic Mickey - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAhGkWd8bqo

I'm getting the Donkey Kong game as soon as it comes out, as I think the Donkey Kong Country games were some of the best ever (and it's been too long since there's been a good Donkey Kong title)
I'll probably also get Zelda, Metroid, and Mario Sports Mix. The previous Mario sports games weren't too bad (though I didn't care for the soccer one) so I might give this one a try given the chance. As for Zelda, I loved Twilight Princess, and Metroid looks to be pretty good as well.

Also, there was "Just Dance 2" and "Wii Party" announced, but I didn't care enough about these to find the trailers...

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

Oh no. There are tons of users on GAF, so to stem the tide they don't let you register with a free email address. Also, there's a long wait after you register for you account to be activated, plus a no tolerance period on all infractions. If you really wanna join, you've got to be patient. If you've got a work email or a college email, you can use that.

Nah, not worth it. Thanks though. I can just read, I don't need to post.

The Zelda looks cool but why do they insist on making things cartoonish? I think the more realistic looking things of Twilight Princess looked way better.

I watched it, and was not impressed. Zelda looked unfinished (IE little responsive controls) and all those shitgames looked like ****. Donkey Kong looks amazing though, same with 3DS. Still, I was left with a feeling that can be summed up in one word: 'meh'.

I honestly was unimpressed until Donkey Kong came up. I already knew there'd be a new Zelda. I was a bit put off by the malfunctioning controls, but it's nothing I haven't already seen in my own living room (except that they were using Wii MotionPlus so it's a bit less tolerable) and the other games were just games that I'd consider getting (i.e. Mario Sports Mix, Metroid) but nothing that got me excited. I'm a huge Donkey Kong fan anyway, so when I heard that familiar music come on in the background, I got pretty excited.
The 3DS looks impressive as well. And overall I'd say this still seemed like a lot more exciting a presentation than Microsoft's.
