Is there such a thing as free E3 coverage anymore? :bs

G4 seems to be doing an ok job

Try e3expo.com has some stuff. Nintendo.com has some real good stuff, only on there systems though.

Gamespot's coverage is OK, but their web site is crap. So is their system of basic/complete membership and their horrible download software... but a lot of the videos you can obtain elsewhere once you know what you're looking for.

I've always been a big fan of gametrailers.com. I don't know how frequently they update, but they do have several of the more recent E3 movies up. And I never have any trouble downloading from them.

game-media.com is another site I found painless to use. Updates seem rather slow, however.

I stumbled onto a free link to the live streaming Nintendo presentation... that was pretty cool. The DS actually seems promising, I was expecting it to be a Virtual Boy but it looks like it could actually fare well. Realistic Zelda was definitely a crowd pleaser, as was Halo 2 of course. Conker Live and Reloaded was a game that caught my eye... I loved the original.

There are quite a few E3 movies being distributed in torrents aswell, though they probably are just stolen footage from pay sites.

Wait a sec - I'm confused... Rare made Conkers BFD right? And after the N64 they left. Now, Nintendo are going to use Rare copywrited material (Conker)?

Or is Rare back?

It will be released on Xbox.

Rare holds the conker license, not nintendo. The game will be developed by Rare (xbox 2nd party) and released on Xbox of course.

No, but on the plus side I get Rare titles for my Xbox.

 Pearl Jammzz May 13, 2004
On the plus side I dont have to have another SFA on my Cube'.

I think N did the right thing in getting rid of rare. They freed up TONZ of money and what did we lose? 2 licenses....perfect dark and conker. I believe N kept the JFG licence which is my fave of the 3. They didn't lose any cool games or money. Rare has been exclusive w/ M$ for a LONG time now and they had games in development before they even went over there! Pretty shitty company IMO.

Last time I checked (N64 days), Rare was an asset to Nintendo, not a liability -- why was is necessary for Nintendo to throw away Rare?
