This event took place in Gent (Belgium) and showed the whole game-industry's upcoming games and consoles. Xbox360 had the longest cues, I stood in line cause I was with two Xboxers and saw the greatest graphics ever, originality zero. I saw Kameo which had a total Nintendo feel to it, the roller ball was a straight ripoff from Samus rolling ball...sigh
Now on to NINTENDO's stand: only few Cube games: Zelda of course: sweetest of the bunch, Viewtiful Joe2 and some spongebob and other licensecrap. Main focus was the DS: you could (if you were lucky) download some demos from Mariokart, Meteos, Zelda trailer...Didn't work on my DS though...too much traffic??!
I visited the Mario dance machine too, lots of anxious moms were there cueing up, seems to be a great gadget for moms with daughters...
Major hypes but truly letdowns:
-the Warriors on PS2: total GTA ripoff, major crap!
-King Kong on every system, I thought this was Turok allover again...
-PSP milking every possible classic game, originality zero!
