Alright, if it's true, I'll eat my words. I'll do you the courtesy of not taking you up on your offer should your prediction fail.
Mark my words. I'd say around October or November in Japan. Now to get back on topic, here are the first images of Resident Evil Revelations for 3DS: At first I thought they were CG. LOL.

Finally. I've been waiting for what seemed like forever for Capcom to show up with some MvC3 stuff. Looks like it plays on the TvC engine (albeit a graphically improved one), or at least something extremely similar.
Third party or not, they're supporting the company you give away all your credibility and pride in the name of.
Aren't these the official designs? http://kotaku.com/5564305/official-3ds-pictures-show-its-a-pretty-little-thing/gallery/ Or are they liable to change or something?
I don't think that's the final design (just like the original DS). I think they are going to make it look a little bit more different than the current DS's.
Apparently the final design is still TBA, according to Pocket Gamer http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/3DS/Nintendo+3DS/news.asp?c=21473 They could just be wrong, but if the design does change, I doubt it will change by much.
I think so too, and to be honest they could just not change it at all and I'd be happy with that design.
More hands-on impressions with the 3DS: "Trust me, you really have to see this thing in person to understand why I'm incredibly impressed. Nintendo is using an LCD technology that sends each eye an independent image that the brain merges together, and the effect adds depth. A lot of depth. The effect is immediately obvious, yet seems so natural. And there are multiple sweet spots, so you don't have to awkwardly hold the system in a position that doesn't feel comfortable. If you twist the system you'll get double images and lose the 3D, but it's simple to keep the stereoscopic effect within view." http://au.ds.ign.com/articles/109/1098014p1.html
E3 is the most overwhelming event I've ever been to. There is SO MUCH SHIT going on here that it is quite literally unbelievable. The $6m party Activision threw at the Staples center last night, the makeshift castles built on the expo floor, holy cow.
I'm glad they brought back the spectacle in favour of that dumbed down hotel crap from a couple years ago. Know you can't talk about iPhone stuff cause you have to write up for the site, but what about other stuff? Castlevania Lords of Shadow? Medal of Honour? Zelda?
Looks like you've enjoyed yourself and they said E3 had been growing stale over the past few years, people just like to complain, I guess. Granted, this is said from someone who hasn't been to an E3, so...
Since I'm the only person here from TA I've been running around like a maniac, haven't even had a chance to look at anything I haven't had appointments for yet. Sonic 4 was really cool, uploading a video of that currently.
