wait wait wait.. Nintendo had cute blondes in tights with 3DS's strapped to their waist at the show?

AND I MISSED IT?

that alone "won" them E3

[DAaaMan64]

I don't see how hot blondes would keep you from stealing a 3DS.

Thats like strapping a cake to a bag of gold and telling me not to steal the cake. >.>

In your version its all profit. In Nintendos version, if you steal the 3DS, then you ruin whatever imaginary chance you thought  you might have had with the hot blonde it was attached to.

[Shaymin]

If the real 3DSs come with a hot chick, I'm in for $599US.

That should cover the first hour of "play", but if you were expecting to "play" all night, you're gonna need to come up with much more than that

giving new meaning to "pay & play"

@ TERRIBLE USERNAME

**** THE 3DS, STEAL THE GIRL!

@ EASYCURE

SCRATCH THAT, REVERSE IT.

[EasyCure]

funny albeit slightly racist..?

[Caliban]

Racist, really? Wow.

[SixthAngel]

I think the guy in the middle is just a terribly drawn Reggie.  Reggie's face has got to be a dream for caricaturists so I don't know how they messed it up so bad.

[Shaymin]

I'm more worried that the Sony guy (Jack Tretton?) appears to have missing shoulders.

Apparently they did it live and didn't have their usual equipment at E3, though.

[Louieturkey]

Wow, you're right.  His arms look like they are flailing.  Perfect for a motion controller.

[ShyGuy]

Penny Arcade's visual quality varies greatly.

[nickmitch]

Yeah, you can tell which strips are planned out and which are really rushed.

In other news, I think Nintendo finally put more smiles on more faces. (I hope someone didn't already make that joke.)

[EasyCure]

Racist, really? Wow.

I don't find it racist or offensive but I can see how it would (to a stick in the mud).

It's obviously Reggie, who happens to be the only Haitian on there, who happens to be discolored and much darker than he's supposed to be (thanks to the rush job) and is speaking in a slightly ghetto fashion.. You just know SOMEONE out there is gonna nitpick the comic because they're overly sensitive.

I think I'm just too used to dealing with this **** (was asked to be part of a multicultural diversity program in highschool that lasted much longer than I would've like) that its made me prone to picking out any little thing that might be offensive to anyone ever (Caucasians can say Jack's caricature depicts a stereotypical "nerdy white guy" for instance)

I am reminded of that South Park episode "Camp Of Tolerance".

[DAaaMan64]

Its actually "Death Camp of Tolerance."

[Halbred]

Yeah, PA's quality has gotten more inconsistent over the years. I think part of the problem is that Gabe doesn't block it out like he used to. It's more "stream of consciousness" now, which is fine, and leads to experimentation, but unfortunately it leads to some comics looking great and others looking very loose. This is an example of the latter.

Here is a very PRO Nintendo review of E3 from IGN.

http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/872155/the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword/videos/E3_Hits_Misses.html

Just not much about the wii.

[vudu]

Yeah,  I'm actually surprised in retrospect that we got absolutely nothing in terms of pricing for the 3DS, especially after Microsoft made the same mistake yesterday with Kinect.

Keep in mind that Kinect will launch later this year.  3DS will not.

Also, Kinect is a compliment to the Xbox 360, not a replacement.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Also if 3DS does come out this year, it likely won't be until Nov of this year and Nintendo has no reason to show all of it's cards this early into the game. Sony still hasn't revealed it's next card and Nintendo doesn't want to give them any advantage before they commit to something by showing something

Nintendo will have another event sometime this year that will pull the curtain all the way back.

[BeautifulShy]

Just thought I would mention that the Nintendo Channel has more videos up from E3.
 As far as showing to much of the 3DS I think Nintendo has the advantage in that they didn't reveal the price yet. I think it was 1 or 2 months before the launch of the Wii that they revealed the price. And it undercut the 360 and PS3.

Oh something else I read. The 3DS that was revealed at E3 wasn't the final version so there may be a few differences from what we saw a few days ago.
