Magma Dragoon vs Ride Armor - Mega Man X4
This may not be new to you guys but it's new to me. For all the times I've beaten Mega Man X4, I honestly had no idea that you could face Magma Dragoon via a hidden room using the ride armor. I've always beaten him with either the X buster or the double cyclone weapon.
I've beaten MMX4 multiple times with all of X's forms (Ultimate armor, the regular X4 armor set, regular X) and both of Zero's forms (red Zero and black armor Zero) but I never knew about this little secret room in Magma Dragoon's stage. I used to play this game a lot at a internet cafe that had consoles you could play near where I lived back in the day and I guess I was just always in a hurry to beat the boss because of the time constraint that I never looked around the environment.
E3 2014: EA Press Conference - New Mass Effect, Sims 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Star Wars: Battlefront, Battlefield: Hardline
Right after Microsoft's press conference we have EA's press conference, and boy was that hard to watch. We don't expect much from EA, we don't even recall a year that made us appreciate staying up to watch their presentation live. But this time around we were hoping to be blown away. What's makes this year special? Oh, just the possible reveal of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 gameplay, Mirror's Edge 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition demos, and a strong chance of getting a new Mass Effect game reveal. We did get those games on stage, but only as a developer diary trailer. Bottom line from this press conference - These games are confirmed, and that they are definitely working on them. You could of sent us a memo instead of making a presentation EA.

Quick Mentions
- Battlefield: Hardline beta out now
- Bioware Montreal team is working on the new Mass Effect(Mass Effect 4) , while the team in Edmonton is working on completely new IP.
- Criterion Games working on a new action sports game, no name though. First-person multi-vehicle game
This has to be the most disappointing presentation this E3. It really felt like EA didn't really care of making a huge impression for their future games. It was a nice touch to have Battlefield: Hardline beta up and running for all to play the day they announced it, but I think the biggest shocker is the fact that we saw more developers talking about their games than new gameplay footage.
We will give more of our impressions of what was shown in the press conference in a future post. TMG Podcast E3 Special will go LIVE next week once all the dust has cleared to go through each announcement and reveals one by one.
E3 2014: Nintendo Digital Event - Zelda Wii U, Captain Toad, Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Nintendo was the last to show their goods and even though they didn't have a live press conference, they announced a hefty amount of titles that would help the struggling Wii U. Is it enough to get people excited? It's hard to tell but it's clear they are banking on Super Smash Bros and Bayonetta 2 to end the Wii U's 2014 on a high note. But as we look forward, 2015 looks bright for the Japanese company. Have a look at what they announced below.
Mii Fighters joins the Smash Bros. arena
Amiibo figures announced
The X game revealed last year is now officially called Xenoblade Chronicles X, exclusive to the Wii U

- Each Amiibo figure has chips that can store data and interact with compatible games. Games announced that will be compatible are Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Captain Toad, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Mario Party 10.
That's Nintendo's E3 presentation - Short but sweet. After the presentation, the Nintendo Treehouse found at E3 kicked off and was there to show off all the games mentioned. There were also a couple of game announcements that wasn't included in the digital event like Mario Party 10, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Professor Layton vs Pheonix Wright release date, and even confirming that Pac-man would be a playable player in the new Super Smash Bros. Very unusual that they announced some of these discreetly right after the presentation, but that's Nintendo for you.
