As is now tradition, Microsoft will be the first of the big three platform holders to get E3 up and running, with Sony to follow and Nintendo to get started on 14th June.
Microsoft comes into this E3 on the back foot in the current generation, with the Xbox One still seemingly lagging behind PS4. In any case it'll look to show what it's made of in this live conference, so we can expect an emphasis on any console exclusive games that it's got pegged for 2016 and beyond. In addition the Xbox One Slim is set to be detailed, which will also include 4K media playback functionality.
Naturally it's not our domain here at Nintendo Life, so head on over and join our colleagues at Pure Xbox to catch all of the action with a live blog and comments.
Enjoy!

Since Windows 10 will get Xbox Exclusives, then sign me up!
Really, this is saddening...when are Nintendo going to be brave and announce a new wave of Mario amiibo everyone's been waiting for...
I'll be streaming this myself wish me luck!
I hope it's something good
@memoryman3 enough with amiibo's !!! i need good games and good consoles
I'm hoping for a Halo 3A announcement and some insight on Halo Wars 2, Recore and the new Xbox Slim.
@DoctorOverbuild Good luck then, hope you have a good time streaming!
I'll be sticking to the Pure Xbox streams myself; we had a great time making jokes during the EA conference.
Windows 10 exclusives and Xbox Slim hype.
I hope Microsoft is really considerate of not-so-gaming laptops. My laptop is lacking on the graphics side and I don't have the money to upgrade the graphics card (yay for PCs -_-.
And an Xbox One Slim will automatically increase my chances of buying an Xbox One this year by... ten or something.
Boy I'm seeing all this E3 news and... my apathy has never been higher.
I dunno, it used to be a magical time for a younger me, but now it's basically one and the same with political stump speeches. I'll just read the recaps later.
Hmm, kinda fancy the Xbox one s. Looks like a ps4 now.
Nerd Leaks already leaked the conference!
Watching it on my Wii U.
Don't kill me.
I like the MS ones as they're usually very high on new game announcements, and very little on DLC for already already released games or games that are just about to come out. That's what I want from E3. Forza Horizon 3 looks amazing and the slim model might tempt into get an Xbone way sooner than I'd planned.
Xbox 1 S confirmed, $299. 2TB HDD. 4k and HDR video. And the same price as Wii U.
Xbox Two confirmed
@rjejr nice !! You have no idea how much I enjoy playing my Xbox one but I'm not upgrading for now ... I'll keep using my Xbox I don't see the point to upgrade now
I wish Nintendo can provide us with a system such as powerful as ps4 or Xbox specially for the prices they asking for !
@peeks Well don't upgrade now, you have to wiat until Holiday 2017 to upgrade to Scorpio.
Don't know what Ninteod has got in store for us w/ NX, but that Xbox One S looks pretty dandy at $299, and Scorpio coming next holiday w/ some high end tech. NX has its work cut out for it. Going to need to find it's own niche, that's for sure. Maybe every game could require? Ship on them even.
So Is this generation officially over? I know Scorpio and Neo both play old games and the new games are suppose to play on the old systems but you know they will be a buggy mess for the "out dated systems".
In my opinion, this is why NX isn't being revealed at E3. Nintendo gets to play the "they do their own thing card" and take their time to position the NX and market it correctly vs the new half generation consoles of Sony and MS instead of revealing tomorrow with no time to react to Scorpio and any news regarding Neo that may leak.
@Gerbwmu Nope, Sony at least has confirmed that there will be no Neo exclusives, and it is actually more likely that developers will focus on the original as opposed to the Neo, considering the colossal PS4 userbase atm, with many of those people (including me) definitely not prepared to upgrade. Developers can't release a "buggy mess" of a game on the original systems when there are so many people still using them. People just won't tolerate it.
And Crackdown got delayed. Why did I buy a xbone again? If it wasn't for recore coming out this year I'd use my xbone as a door stop.
So I just discovered that I can use my Nintendo life account to sign into Pure Xbox and push Square.
pretty cool.
I'm not liking what these console revisions might bring to the table in the long run.
A whole lot of great announcements. Great job MS! Now to see how Sony will fare.
Let's see how Sony will react to the Xbox One S and the Scorpio.
@memoryman3 Uhhhh, we have plenty of Mario amiibo. Too many, even. Pokemon and Kirby on the other hand...
@Captain_Gonru Thought the controlle ridea was cool. WE live in a 3D printer, why not offer $60 controllers for $80in a design of your choice.
Maybe Ntineod can do that for it's games.
What kind of AC game do you want - board game or world sim?
What kind of Metroid PRime game do you want - soccer or Samus kicking butt?
@peeks I have an Xbox One as well, and I've been enjoying it quite a bit. The game library is incredible!
I'm not interested in the slim version (I own the standard 500 GB black model), but the Scorpio project interests me. Microsoft and Phil Spencer have continued to fulfill the promises and reliever great exclusives to their fans that makes their consoles worth every buck.
As for the Big N, the NX should do a good job at competing with the PS4 and Xbox One, at least for a solid year. I doubt 4K is going to make a whopping difference.
@Captain_Gonru "a non-craptacular AC game"
You just made me realize Ntinod is all about the illusion of options when really they are just shoving their stubbornness down our throats. They could have added a board game onto a real AC game, they could have added gyro controls onto a SF game, they could have added a soccer game onto a Metroid PRime game, but they just do things and tell us to like it.
Somebody needs to explain to Ntineod that videogames arent' vegetables that we are forced to eat by our parents, they are supposed to be the dessert portion of the meal that we get to like. Arrogance thy name is Ntinedo.
Given I have an Xbox, I'm glad for what's been announced so far! Also, a spiritual successor to Limbo by the game's own dev team, coming out this month? Yes please!
@Captain_Gonru You know Ntnedo, there won't be a proper AC game on NX now b/c autoFail, well, failed. HHD2 seems like a given though. Make a $10 game for $40 then sell a billion $ worth of cards.
@hoshinosammy
@Captain_Gonru Yes, we did get that thanks. Played it the first day for an hour on what I think was easy mode, and we never went back to it. It's right there on my Gamepad menu so I see it occasionally but I never think to play it again.
@memoryman3 Ew, Daisy.
@Captain_Gonru Thanks for the wishes. I have Darksiders 2 on PS3. Played the first world and then moved on to another game. It was so long ago I won't even bother trying to remember which. I also think I got it at Target for $20. Certainly no more, probably $14.48 or something. And no, my kids don't play those games, yet. 13 year old is getting close. Thanks again.
@Captain_Gonru I find it creepy we are commenting in a thread about a dead company.
http://www.purexbox.com/
Makes me wonder how long until NL goes under what w/ really nothing to talk about all summer long. Though comments here typically run over 100, Pushsquare usually tops out around 35. Though it may be quite a few less as I'm taking a PS break.
OK, why did you give those people money if you are giving away all of your codes? I think we have all of those except Runbow I'll ask my kids just to make sure. Well not now b/c they are sleeping, that will have to wait until tomorrow. My oldest graduates from middle school tomorrow, the youngest from elementary school on Thursday. Man I'm getting old-er.
@Captain_Gonru They are all dead threads these days. 4 new articles this morning, 24 total comments over the past 3 hours. Better than 1 game in 6 months, but not by much. Though I suppose it's 2 games w/ Just Dance 2016 (or is it 2017?) 3 games w/ Skylanders. Really not much else at all, no DI or new Lego game or Lego D game, just more toys. I don't count indies b/c when parents are shopping for gifts the eShop isn't their first stop. Or probably their last stop either.
@Captain_Gonru Good point about the eShop cards. My kids graduated today and yesterday and they were waiting for eShop cards before buying stuff - 1 kid got Pokemon Red, the other Aeterno something - b/c they didn't get any.
Still, waking up Christmas morning to find a $50 eShop card is never going to compete w/ SM3DW or SSB or Capta Taod - better than AC:aF I'll admit, probably a tie w/ Mario Tennis Ultra Smash. My family does gift cards for birthdays, but Christmas is all abut the gifts. And I don't expect any Wii U games under the tree this year. Maybe several PS4 games, and a PS4 - still working out the deets.
