Mega Man 9: WiiWare ONLY – False alarm. Please, go ahead and disregard this morning’s post regarding Mega Man 9 being available for the PSN and XBLA. Capcom have since removed those listings from their E3 lineup (calling it “a mistake”), and have confirmed the game will only be appearing on the Wii.
Duke Nukem’s development is – according to 3D Realms’ Scott Miller – “swimming along nicely”. No, “seriously nicely”. So it’s fair to assume that we’ll be seeing it in some kind of capacity at this year’s E3, right? Uh, no. It won’t be there. At all. Why not? Miller says it’s because E3 is now irrelevant. “It’s just that we view E3 as irrelevant nowadays. In fact, I wasn’t even aware it was coming up”. Harsh words from Scott Miller, who is perhaps secretly envious that E3 has a firm date.
PC gaming isn’t dead. It just not applying for an E3 credential or getting fitted for a booth babe thong.
Microsoft decided to showcase PC gaming this week in San Francisco and Intel isn’t having an E3 presence because…
Kevin Unangst, senior global director of Windows gaming at Microsoft, said his team decided to show off PC games at an event in San Francisco this week to avoid being overshadowed at E3.
“As it has morphed, E3 has fundamentally become a console show,” he said. “We didn’t want to just squeeze out some time at a console show.”
Having attended E3 since 2001, I can say that PC games were among the harder to appreciate during a compressed game-packed week. Still, E3′s just a console show now?

What we know: Last year, Sony officially said God of War III was for the PS3. Back in February of this year, a Sony teaser ad said God of War III was “coming soon”. A job announcement popped up in April was seeking an online game programmer for the team that created God of War and God of War II. According to a post on game site Eurogamer, Sony will be announcing God of War III for the PS3 at E3. This s unconfirmed, but makes sense! Surely, Sony will want a big AAA exclusive to face off with Gears of War 2 this holiday season. But just because something makes sense doesn’t mean it’s true.

Set up outside the Spore and Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 viewing rooms at Electronic Art’s pre-E3 event last week was a little red bar complete with Russian beers, lots of vodka and this drink list. Unfortunately, the list didn’t include the ingredients for the all-crimson drinks.
