This really looks like Sonic is re-discovering his form. Let’s hope he is!
It seems like Nintendo’s value during and after E3 has gone up about 17% and financial experts are advising to hold off buying them for now to let the dust settle. Speaking with Industrygamers, the outlook for Nintendo is looking promising overall. Check it out if stocks are your thing!
“Nintendo will benefit from the next product cycle. This does not mean that the road ahead will not be full of potholes. Currency pressures and competition from the likes of Apple could force Nintendo to sell their new 3DS at a lower price than they would have hoped. The stock had a great E3, jumping 17% in one week, so it may not be the wisest move to chase the stock at these levels. The enormous installed base of Wii consoles should help their recently announced first-party titles sell and the 3DS hype machine is just getting started. Nintendo’s wait and see approach to a console with 3DTV support is something that makes them more attractive as well, in case Sony’s strategy is an epic fail.”
Thanks Industrygamers
This Google Trends graphic shows that the 3DS was the winner of E3 with loads more searches than Sony’s Move or Microsoft’s Kinect.
This is slightly cheating though as both their hardware has already been seen whereas the 3DS was a brand new unveiling. Even so, it’s good to see 3DS so popular already!
Thanks ripten
Here’s some more footage from E3 of the 3DS showing the new console. Shame you can’t make out the 3D effects as well as they can be seen to the naked eye, but hey, something’ better than nothing!
E3 is a bit like Xmas, you spend so long waiting for it, then it’s over in a flash! At least it didn’t disappoint and Nintendo owned the show this year, thanks mainly due to 3DS.
Here are some of the main news stories, videos and other stuff from the show just in case you missed some!

The rumours of Goldeneye also coming to DS as well as Wii turn out to be true and have been confirmed on n-Space’s Facebook page. No screens or other info has been released yet but we’ll put it up when they do.
“One parting announcement… at E3 this year Activision and Nintendo announced Goldeneye as a Wii exclusive. Not quite. We’re happy to confirm that a DS version is in the works at n-Space. More on this next week!”
It seems that the 3DS has got off to a great start, not only with the public but with developers and publishers too. Thomas Tippl from Activision spoke with Gamespot and had this to say…
GameSpot: What have you thought of E3 so far?
Thomas Tippl: Well, it’s not my first E3. I would say there’s the usual excitement. It’s great to see that first parties are coming out with new innovations. I was particularly impressed by the 3DS, and it got a great reception. It’s a brilliant product. Nintendo’s figured out the glasses–or the lack thereof–are key. The integration of the 3D camera was a brilliant move. And if they also address the piracy issues they have and upgrade the copyright protection system, I think it’s going to be a big success and draw publisher interest to put more resources against publishing a game in this platform.
GS: So far DJ Hero is the only Activision franchise announced for the 3DS, but a lot of your competitors are already on board and completely committed with more games. Is there any hesitation on Activision’s part?
TT: No. You’ll hear more titles as they come.
It’s a shame that video’s on the Internet do not show off the 3D effects properly of the 3DS but at least this footage gives an idea of its capabilities.
