E3 2013

That depends on how big the place actually is, I've never been there of course...the picture makes it seem relatively large though, I guess. And that's a good thing.

How big is the place?
Are Ubisoft or SEGA doing anything?

Ubisoft has a conference, I'm pretty sure. They have had multiple E3 conferences before, so I think they will. Sega is not, I already know that one for sure.

Not sure how big it is, but it seems huge lol.

Here is a picture of the show floor here.

Ubisoft will be having there Press Conference on June 10, 2013 1PM Pacific / 4PM Eastern / 8PM GMT.

SEGA might show off things in the Sony and Microsoft Conferences that are not Sonic. As for Sonic that news will likely be mixed in with Nintendo Direct.

Sonic will pretty much just be with Nintendo for the rest of this year, most likely. And if the Ubisoft conference is June 10th, I thought E3 started on June 11th...so how would it be on the 10th?

The 10th is when Sony, Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft have there conferences but, the full E3 Expo opens on Tuesday June 11th at noon.

I predict a Nintendo SEGA merger being announced at E3. If not this year but next year at the least..

^ I actually think that will happen as well, I'm just not expecting them to announce it at any E3 conferences because Nintendo is now just focusing on announcing games at E3 now. But that's likely to happen. :3

This could happen. But if it does not happen then SEGA might just sell the Sonic the Hedgehog Franchise to Nintendo if they want to make games only for smartphones.

Considering Sonic is Sega's mascot and best-selling franchise, I doubt they'd do that. If anything, a merge of the two companies would be more likely than Sega just selling Sonic to Nintendo. (but then they'd own Sonic either way...)

Yea I agree with Zero; & Queen in thinking that Nintendo and SEGA would most likely merge if SEGA & the Nintendo joint game gets rave reviews.. Unless it's been slowly happening during the game development; which wouldn't surprise me any if it came out over time that a merger was eminent eventually. I mean come on SEGA has been bleeding money for some time now since their Sonic series hasn't received any rave reviews from fans or reviewers for some time now.

SEGA needs money to be able to stay afloat and honestly Nintendo needs another first party IP to bring in more consumers: old and new. Thus SEGA being the key to their new IP. Yes Sonic & crew maybe old hat but if Nintendo can help revive the old 'spark' then it would behoove both SEGA and Nintendo to merge into one thus gaining Nintendo, SEGA's blue blur & crew.

Also, considering SEGA is working with Nintendo on Sonic Lost World (the new Sonic game exclusive to Wii U and 3DS) and 2 other games, it would only make sense for them to do that. If Lost World is good enough to have rave reviews as you mentioned, and good sales, it's inevitable for a merge of Nintendo and SEGA.

We should be getting back on the actual topic of E3 2013 now. Does anyone else think a new Starfox or Metroid could be announced?

I think a new Metroid will be show in the E3 Nintendo Direct being made by Retro. If a Star Fox is in the works which I don't think is Platinum Games would be a great team to put on the game.

If a Metroid game is announced with Retro at the heml they better remake that crap work Other M while they're at it.
