So E3 starts today. I'm pretty hyped to see what the big three are going to be showing. Microsofts conference is today with Nintendo's and Sony's following tomorrow. Here is a rough outline of some of the main games we may see and also some possible announcements, there are obviously likley to be unannounced surprises to come over the next couple of days. Please note I have left the handhelds out due to time constraints. Maybe someone else coud add those. Also I have left out some multiplatform stuff that we will see like Resident Evil 5.

Nintendo
Nintendo are by far the hardest to predict. They have been very tight lipped about what they will or will not be showing. This could mean they have little to show or just that they are being classically quiet. As such the games list is
far more speculative than the other two. Anyways;

- Animal Crossing Wii
- Pikmin 3
- Warioland Shake
- Wii Motorsports
- Disaster Day Of Crisis

Other things we might see from Nintendo
Different colours of Wii/Wiimotes. A new Starfox game. Wii Waverace. They may announce some new peripheral for Wii, a microphone perhaps. EDIT That new peripheral has been announced early. It is an attachment giving the Wii remote true 1:1 response thread

Looks like it could be a great year this year after the relatively weak E3 last year.
