Figured since we're less than a week away, I'd get this going. I'll update the first post when big stuff gets announced as well. 
Here's the major conference schedule (Pacific time)

Word is playable demos of Mario Maker and Star Fox U will be there according to recent Reddit posts.

Dude. Crossed fingers. 

Some Best Buys will have Mario Maker demos on the 17th and 20th I believe. I can't wait to see some Star Fox gameplay!

cant wait to see all three big player conferences!

Just care about the nintendo direct announcements. The other companies are rather boring to me.

Looking forward to Nintendo's Direct. That's honestly the only thing I'll be following this year and probably every subsequent year.

Say what you will about the other e3 conferences, but I think you should always keep an eye on them. Mostly because they often become complete train wrecks like this.

ill catch all those at a later date when they get posted to get made fun of. Like you just did.  How can anyone take microsoft seriously after that display. Please tell me that was like a warm up presentation.

I want to see some Mega Man Legacy gameplay.

dat VR, nintendo news, and PC gaming coming to E3!!!! i know this is console only thread but i can't be the only one excited about that there.

First bit of news is "leaked" - Hyrule Warriors 3DS port along with a trailer showing gameplay and Tetra/King of Red Lions playable characters.



Didn't see that coming lol.

Can't say I'm excited for Hyrule Warriors 3DS, even with new characters. I just don't really get the point of porting a not even year old console game to a handheld. I can see it for older games, like OoT and Majora's Mask, where the graphics are updated and some new things are added, but with a recent one like this I think it'll seem more like a downgrade unless they add more 3DS specific features.

I want to see something great this year.

I'm hoping that will be Mega Man Legacy. I usually don't keep up with these much,if at all,but I definitely will checking it out this year.

Agreed.

Remember years ago when it was an honour to go to E3? Now you need the 5 magic UPC codes from Game.Com or have 10 You tube subscribers.

Btw,anyone else see this?!





Also just saw a trailer for Lego Marvel Avengers.

I'm seriously hoping that Retro Studio's next game is Metroid. Other M did nothing to alleviate my craving for another one.

Retro seems to be hinting a new donkey/Diddy king game so I wouldn't get your hopes up

I'll be pretty jazzed if dark souls 3 is happening

I am praying that it's a new Diddy Kong Racing and I kind of think it will be. The original is one of my absolute favorite games and is my top racing game too. I'd also love to see a third new DKC game especially if Diddy is the hero. I loved the switching up of the Kongs in the original trilogy.

Some massive news leaked/confirmed today for Smash Bros. If anyone wants to wait for the Direct and avoid spoilers, I won't post it here.

There's plenty of unleaked news left.

6 minutes until the SSB Direct!

Damn they really went all out with Ryu giving making him so much like the original games and very technical.

I was so happy to see N64 stages: Dreamland! Hyrule! come on Saffron City!!!.......Fucking Mushroom Kingdom why did they include that crap!
