Final Fantasy XIII

NUMBER 12 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST ONE DAMN IT!

Anyway, there was a PS3 trailer shown at E3 either today or yesterday. It looks pretty damn sweet. It's extremely action oriented and a has slightly more futuristic style. Also, it's supposed to be a franchise instead of a single game. They've actually annouced two games, the second one (subtitled 'Versus') seems to be a mass battle game (i.e. Dynasty Warriors, Drakengard, etc.). I've only seen two screenshots of the second one though. There's gonna be a cell phone game too.

Also, some general E3 notes: lots of good looking FPS. Wii, despite its aweful name looks awesome though hard to play. Halo 3 (insert hyped fan chatter about a 2 min long lackluster trailer here). Not much else so far. We'll probably see something awesome towards the end of the con, or at least I home.

if the Wii is cheap compared to the PS3 and 360 nintendo is going to make a killing i think

and possibly get capcom/square and a few other devs to make more games for them

it's going to depend on the games that come out for each for my disicion.

that'll be the deciding factor for me as well if the price of the PS3 drops considerably

for those of you that don't know, the PS3 is 500 or 600 american, 20 gigs vs. 60 gigs on the price difference there i believe, might be remembering wrong

I saw a video and here's what was in it:
-Super Mario Galaxy: looks good, it plays likea regylar mario game but you use the remote on the Wii for special stuff. The world is wierd, you're actually jumping around through a minature galaxy.

Metroid 3: pretty predictable, Fps with a bit of aiming capacity with the remote. Not much else showed.

Zelda: Twilight Princess: the same game that's coming out for Gamecube (not sure if it's become Wii exclusive or not). However, you'll be able aim your bow, boomerang, and hookshot with the remote. Also, you can perform special combat actions with the romote and nunchuck. A jumping downward slash was performed by jerking the nunchuck down, a spin slash was performed with a quick circular motion of the remote, and a quick jab gave a stunning shield bash attack.

Red Steel: Pretty crazy, it's sorta a wierd FPS that has you aiming at targets and even doing some swordplay with the Wii remote.

There's also a game called 'Wii Sports' as well as some sort of minigame collection (think that crazy warrio game that came out a while back).

I think that's it so far.
