"People sort of picked on us for not prematurely jumping into online or internet gaming," he mused, going on to point out that now the company has more to offer besides online gaming. Harrison then confirmed that past-gen, Nintendo-created titles will indeed be downloadable for free."

Sold.

Motherfucking SOLD.

Thanks to Predaking for passing that on. I knew they were doing downloadable games, and they were considering making it free, but confirmation? Hot diggity-damn.

XBox 360 gave us an impressive, if not a bit gaudy, presentation on the sheer earth-shattering power of their system, along with a few cool features that I'm sure developers will be on board for. To compete, Sony gave us a deluge of bullshit, caught now in not one but two lies about their current development status, adding disillusionment to an already disappointing E3 showing.

That said, I like how Nintendo's response to both was to sit back with a sly smirk, confident in the features they do have ready but not willing to fake it for the ones they don't (like a certain other Japan-based company). Nintendo for the win.

Sweet Nintendo lovin', here I come.

I find it pretty funny that for me, I'm more excited about getting to play old games rather than the new games with shiny graphics. I just hope the developers follow Nintendo's lead and either lets people download their old games free, or provide downloads with a game's purchase.

Finally people will lay off on the emulation a little bit.

Yes, I must concur, Nintendo did come out on top of the E3 wars. I suspect they will stage quite the comeback this coming next gen war. Sony seems to have lost alot of favour with people. And they can no longer boast being a dvd player in an era where no one HAS a dvd player.
