There’s no question that E3 2005 had some memorable Nintendo moments. Satoru Iwata opened up the conference with a hilarious dig at Reggie, talking “smack” at the executive and teased: “So Reggie, I have a question for you: who’s your daddy?”

The “Revolution”, later becoming Wii, was definitely the highlight of the conference. Iwata came out and showed the hardware for the first time, shared various details (including the Virtual Console announcement), confirmed a couple of games like Smash Bros., and more.

There were other moments as well – Shigeru Miyamoto’s weirdness during the Nintendogs segment and the third trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, for instance.

Harmonix isn’t done with Rock Band. CEO Alex Rigopulos told VentureBeat that the company will revisit the IP “at the right point in time”. When it returns, Harmonix will “reimagine it as appropriate for its time.”

Rigopulos said:

“…I’ll also say that we don’t view Rock Band as something that’s being left behind. It’s something we’ll return to at the right point in time and reimagine it as appropriate for its time.”

Rock Band 3 was the last “major” Rock Band game. That came out in 2010. It was followed up by the digital Rock Band Blitz spinoff.

As far as we know, Konami has no games lined up for Nintendo platforms – at least in overseas territories.

PES 2014 seemed like the one sure-fire title destined for a Nintendo system, but that isn’t the case. Konami made the game official today, and even though last year’s edition launched on both the 3DS and Wii, the company’s latest soccer release doesn’t look to be coming to either platform. No Wii U version is planned, by the way.

Konami still hasn’t put out a single Wii U title, and system owners will be missing out on all soccer action – EA confirmed previously that it won’t be bringing FIFA 14 to the Wii U.

What might be even more surprising is that Konami appears to be ending PES support on the 3DS.

Nintendo came back from a somewhat lackluster E3 performance in 2003 with a pretty great showing in 2004.

Nintendo’s E3 2004 media briefing was led by the introduction of the DS. The system was shown off for the first time, and a couple of games were confirmed – Super Mario 64 DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters. Zelda: Twilight Princess also made its debut and saw one of the most-memorable video game unveils in the company’s history thanks to the crowd reaction.

Other moments from the conference include Reggie’s first appearance, Iwata’s Wii tease, and new trailers for games such as Metroid Prime 2, Star Fox Assault, and Resident Evil 4. In the end, though, Nintendo’s E3 2004 appearance will always be remembered for the Zelda and DS announcements.

Below is the debut trailer for Disney’s Planes-based video game. Will it be of low-quality, which is what most expect? Or will Disney surprise us?

A new PC is surfacing on auction sites that allows Dragon Quest X players to quickly level up. The hardware possesses a special macro that puts your character on autopilot for a few days. It does the work for you… cheating, essentially.

Here’s the crazy part about this: the PC is going for $1,000. Some Japanese Dragon Quest X users have already purchased and used it just to level up their characters.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t ever see myself spending $1,000 on a game like that.

Les Wampas – “Manu Chao”
Them Terribles – “Bullets & Guns”

Those who have purchased any of the songs above after the aforementioned date will still be able to access them through the library.
