E3 Video Game Convention Nintendo and Sony Handhelds
Nintendo already rules the handheld gaming world with the Gameboy Advance SP, but that isn't enough for Mario and the gang. They've introduced the Nintendo DS (Dual Screen) a few months ago and E3 will be the first time anyone will be able to see it in action. Sony's not slackin' on this one though cuz they've got some major news themselves about their Sony PSP handheld gaming rig.
E3 Video Game Convention - Will Sega Make a Comeback?
Sega is the company behind Sonic the Hedgehog and a bunch of other cool games. They also used to make the Sega Dreamcast video game console way back in 1999. Then they got stomped flat by the faster, more powerful Sony Playstation 2, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube. Almost nobody plays Dreamcast games any more. Rumor is that Sega will be making a new game console, though, and Sega has a big announcement lined up - stay tuned and we'll bring you more info!
E3 Video Game Convention - Xbox 2 Game Console?
Microsoft's Xbox is the biggest, baddest game console around. It has more power than any other gaming gadget but big Bill (Gates, that is) isn't satisfied. Nothing has been said yet, but some news has leaked to the 'net about an upcoming Xbox 2 game console. If this is happening, E3 will be the place to hear about it.
