Good morning Uberz! Welcome to Day 1 of the Electronic Arts Expo 2011!
Yesterday, we saw the keynotes of Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, and finally Sony. Today, Nintendo comes out to strut their stuff. Will we finally see Project Cafe? Will we finally get that Zelda game? Will we actually see games that will make us want to buy a 3DS? Only Shiggy and Lord Reginald have the answers to that one.
Throughout the day, this post will be updated with the latest E3 news as we get them, so check back often. Updates after the jump. Read more ›

Yes, there IS a box. Its just not a controller.
Other than that, we know its probably HD. But not much else (price, specs, etc). Updates when we get em. Another pic of the whole setup after the jump.

The official opening of E3 is upon us, and like last year, Nintendo kicks things off with their keynote. We know Project Cafe is there, we just don’t know for sure what the specs are. And what about the Wii? Will we even see an emphasis on Wii games, or will it mainly be on Cafe? And don’t forget the 3DS, can Nintendo revitalize their new handheld, especially in wake of Sony’s PSVita news and price?

Last one for today, Sony’s keynote starts at 5:30 PST/8:30 EST 4:45pm PST/7:45 EST?. Sony unfortunately comes into this one with a decent amount of damage, but will they shake it off and show us something awesome? We’re expecting NGP reveal (as well as the official name), as well as price point, and more games to hopefully be announced for it. More info on the PSP Remasters, and hopefully some more PS3 games. And of course, we’d like to see Kevin Butler too.
According to Sony’s own blog, they’re starting at 4:45pm PST. Since its coming directly from Sony, let’s assume their time is right.

With EA currently leading in terms of “win” for E3, Ubisoft is up next. How will Ubi handle themselves this year? Rayman? Assassin’s Creed? Word of warning though. Ubisoft’s keynotes tend to be… “painful”, for lack of a better term. Watch the previous Ubi keynotes to see what we mean.

And here we go, we start the festivities with Microsoft, whom this year, seems to be leaking information left and right. At the time of this post, looks like Halo 4 and Dance Central 2 have been outed by Microsoft’s own E3 website. Will this year’s keynote be even more Kinect? The general consensus is on “probably”, but let’s see how it plays out.
You’ll be able to catch live video of the keynote on Spike TV. At 12noon, they’ll be having some sort of pre-keynote thing, and we’ll probably go live with our liveblog at that time. The actual keynote starts at 12:30pm though.

Good morning! Are we all ready to start E3? Well that’s good, because it starts tomorrow.
Much like previous years, even though keynotes are starting today, E3 doesn’t technically start till tomorrow. Why?
Videogame logic.
If we have this sick, twisted logic in our games, why not apply it to the real world? That, or pirate magic. We like pirate magic. We’ll go with pirate magic.
Now then, like all E3s, UNB will not be there. We’ll be at home, watching on TV or watching the live video streams on the net. That’s never stopped us from covering it though, for it’ll all be practice for the day we actually go to E3.
Dare to dream, my friends. Dare to dream.

More of an update to the schedule, here are all the liveblogs we’ll be doing. Each of these will get their own post when the respective keynotes occur. We tend to open up the liveblog earlier than the actual keynote, about 15-30 minutes early.
As a general rule, if you decide to participate in the liveblogs, don’t be afraid to comment. The first few comments from you will be moderated, but if we trust you enough, we’ll let your comments in, unmoderated.
Also, this year, we’re going to have a little more fun with some LiveGaming. Trivia questions, bets, and odds bets will will occur throughout each keynote. Answer correctly, or just make the right choices, and see if you can make the highest score. Be aware that wrong answers will DOCK points from your total. No prizes, other than bragging rights, in case you were wondering.
Maybe. If there’s enough of you, MAYBE we’ll award a prize. We’re thinking, like if we break our viewership records for E3. Believe us, its a lot easier than you think. And this is total points from all the keynotes. You don’t have to play in all of them, just have the highest score, combined. While we don’t require you to login to comment, we do require you to login if you want to play. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and OpenID logins are accepted.
