I was invited by Disney Interactive and Junction Point Studios to head out to Austin (which isn’t terribly far from my Dallas home) to get one of the first ever looks at Disney Epic Mickey 2, coming to the Wii, 360 and PS3. I also had the opportunity to meet gaming legend Warren Spector, which was kind of amazing.

Rumored "leaked" image of Nintendo's new console and controllers.
More than anything else, new gaming hardware tends to drive a lot of the excitement at each year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. It’s for this reason that most eyes are on Nintendo as we approach the 2011 show.
Amidst rumors and speculation, Nintendo has confirmed that they will be showing their new console – a successor to their immensely successful Wii, allegedly codenamed “Project Cafe” – at E3. But that’s about all we know for certain. Rumors have been flying about what new features and gimmicks the console will bring with it. Most sources seem to pin the system’s power as at least a little better than the current Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. That’s to be expected, as those systems are over five years old and the Wii was already an old piece of equipment. It would be absolutely crazy for Nintendo not to give this new thing more juice.
