With E3 2005 ending last Friday, debate has raged for the past few days over which company came out on top. Much criticism has been leveled at Nintendo for showing an empty box and no software, but really, none of the big three showed us anything that's gonna be playable tomorrow. I'm sure Tokyo Game Show will bring us more news and information on the hardware of the next generation.

Games-wise, we did get to see a little more of Metroid Prime Pinball and Metroid Prime Hunters, both slated for a Q4 2005 release on the DS. No word, however, on the rumored 2D "Metroid Dread" -- all signs point to BS on that one. Hopefully I'm wrong. We also found out that Metroid Prime 3 will in fact be a Revolution title, though there's no information on it.

To that end, however, Nintendo is currently running a poll at forums.nintendo.com asking what features we'd like to see in Metroid Prime 3. Features such as a third-person option (my favorite, obviously), ship-to-ship combat, classic weapons, armorless Samus, and more are on the list, but currently the clear winner of the poll is "All of the above." Head over there and cast your vote, and let them know what we want from Prime 3!
