When it comes to the gaming center of the universe, E3 continues to reign supreme. Situated next to The Staples Center in the Los Angeles Events Center, The 2017 E3 event was no exception to the rule.
This year, the floor was not only open to software companies, industry execs, and gamer personalities but to 15,000 culture enthusiasts from the public as well. This helped to add a whole new feel to the event and no doubt built buzz around the new games announced to an enthusiastic crowd.
The big announcements were plenty and all of them were surefire crowd pleasers. Super Mario Odyssey, the new immersive game and IGN’s pick for Game of Show, generated huge excitement as Nintendo fans of all ages were anxious to see their favorite hero take on a brand new adventure.
