E for All was actually pretty great. Having gone to all the e3's I was at first a little worried, because when we got there, it looked a little empty.
But as the show went on, my initial concern is what made it so great. When the wii debuted at e3, the line was hours to get in. And more time in line to play each game. At E for All, the top wait was like 5-10 minutes. You could play Mario or Smash easily. Same goes for Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. The only wait was for Metal Gear, and even that was tame compared to e3.
In all, I'm glad they're having it again. It was worth going.
If it weren't for titles like Metroid, I wouldn't even own a Wii. The thought of not being able to play a new Metroid, Zelda or Mario is impossible to me.
I have zero interest in WarioWare or WiiSports. I've been playing Nintendo long enough to figure out Metroid. I realize it's raking in cash, but without these games, I'd sell mine.
I gladly pay for XBOX Live. The service blows away the competition. Ease of use, downloads, etc. It's better than I thought it would be when I signed on.
What I can't understand is how they got the money to make this. The song is the definition of terrible, but they have a video, shot in a venue, with a crane. As a video producer, I don't get it.
18,000 attend E for All; but first, a little panic
