phew...well...that's all for this week and for this year of E3...wow, this had to be the biggest report I had to write, but it was worth it, with all the news and the great stuff it was shown ^^ if I'm allowed to say it...this was the best E3 nintendo had in years! so I hope you're as excited as me to see what stuff they got for us in the future! ^^ see ya next time! have a good nintengaming time!

Dang, porting a lot of older games to the 3DS, I can't wait, especially for Street Fighter IV.

AND YAY FOR OKAMIDEN!!!!1 x3

oh... my... god...
I am TOTALLY LOVING the upcoming games for the 3DS!!
...
what? SF4 for the 3DS? I really hate them now... cause we didn't get neither SF4 nor its super edition for the Wii, and now we're forced to wait until the 3DS is out? thats torture... at least for someone who was hoping for SF4 to be on the Wii (which is me)... they BETTER make it SSF4... I want my Hakan, T. Hawk, and Dee Jay... <_<

Super Edition = SSF4 I believe. AND YES, THEY NEED MOAR FIGHTING GAMES LIKE SF FOR THE WII!

I agree. TvC is fun and all, but besides that and Brawl, there aren't much remember-able fighting games out there...they should make a soul calibur as well...

as for the 3DS, I see they're porting Star Fox 64... that's cool and all, but how about a new game? they should also make F-zero games for both the Wii and the 3DS as well! Pikmin is another one... if they make super smash bros for the 3DS (a GOOD one! not like the boring camp-fest that is brawl) then I'll really be happy... |3
