E3 2012: Is Nintendo Ready To Shed The 3DS?
The star of Nintendo’s E3 press conference today was the unveiling of WiiU. While what we saw of their console was sometimes traditional and sometimes exciting, I can’t help but feel that Nintendo is putting most of their eggs into the WiiU basket. Nintendo’s handhelds, which have saved the company from complete annihilation during the N64 and Gamecube eras, came up short here with the 3DS getting only a scant amount of play time. They promised a “few minutes” of coverage today with another standalone event tomorrow as a faint mea culpa, but one can’t help but feel that the 3DS was a gamble that isn’t quite paying off. Here’s why.

E3 2012 – Ubisoft Keeps the Zombies Alive with ZombiU for the Wii U
If you were worried that Ubisoft wouldn’t contribute to the glut of Zombie entertainment lately, then worry not!

Picture Dump of Ubisoft’s Press Conference at E3
Everyone loves pictures, right? I was finally able to get these uploaded using the hotels wifi (it blows, but it’s free). At Ubisoft, there were no photography allowed on the bottom level so we were escorted to the balcony where the controls were and G4 filming their stuff with Blair Herter and Jessica Chobot. It was really spacious and cool until the place started filling up. After that and throughout the conference it felt like someone turned the heater on. We are posting more articles all the time so keep checking back for more E3 coverage all week!

E3 2012 – Ubisoft Showcases Assassin’s Creed III
Those of you hungry for the third installment of the Assassin’s Creed franchise should feel sated after Ubisoft’s press conference today.

E3 2012 – Watch Dogs. Contender for Best of E3?
We just got out of the Ubisoft press briefing and they had a lot of good stuff to show us. From Wii U titles like Rayman Legends and Zombi U (Both of which got high pitched squeals of delight from the fat beardy guy just to the left of us), to multi-platform titles like Assasin’s Creed 3 and Splinter Cell Blacklist, it looks like Ubisoft is staing up to have one hell of a release schedule.
The show-closer, which hasn’t been given a release date, as yet, was pretty impressive. Read on to find out more about Ubisoft’s upcoming title: Watch Dogs.
