E3 2017 marks the first year that the annual games expo is fully open to the public. With 15,000 fans in attendance, the Entertainment Software Association — the organizers of E3 — wants to add a level of fan engagement to the expo. That is where E3 Coliseum comes in. On June 13 and 14 at The Novo in Los Angeles, fans will get to experience a series of panels, conversations, and sneak peeks about new and upcoming games. There are also expected performances, exclusive demos, and special guests. Fans will be able to interact with industry leaders during Q&A sessions as well. Sounds pretty neat, right? Thankfully, if you aren’t able to be there in person, you can still watch and participate parts of the E3 Coliseum.

How to watch

On June 13 and 14, the official E3 Facebook page will stream some of the panels. Any questions you ask during the panels have a chance to be answered on stage. Because the panels will occur throughout two full days, and it is unclear exactly which ones will be streamed, we advise you to keep checking in to make sure you do not miss your favorite studio’s panel.

Who is going to be there?

There is a long list of participating companies over at the official E3 site. Keep in mind that not all of these companies will be involved in live-streams but there is plenty of big names to look out for.

Here is a small sample of publishers and developers signed on to partake in the E3 Coliseum (spoiler: it includes most of the major names working today).

Bethesda
Capcom
Epic Games
Konami

How Zelda: Ocarina of Time speedrunners break the N64 in incredible new ways

ocarina of time speedrunners break game new ways respec featured

ReSpec is normally a column about the wonderful, technical world of PC gaming, but occasionally there are topics that are too good to pass up. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is universally acclaimed as one the best Nintendo 64 games ever made, and while it's not a PC title, the highest-level, most technical speedruns of the game expose how games work on a fundamental level. More importantly, these incredible feats are only possible with a lot of community effort.

Ocarina of Time is a game that would take a normal player around 30 hours to beat; the most skilled speedrunners, who aim to play the game as fast as possible, can beat it in around three hours and 40 minutes without glitches. But the Any% category of the game, which tasks players with completing the game regardless of the methods used, is down to three minutes, 54 seconds, and 566 milliseconds. And yes, those milliseconds matter. The second-place record holder is less than a full second behind the world record.

Grab these Nintendo 3DS games before the eShop closes

wii u 3ds exclusive nintendo games eshop closure ever oasis

While the Nintendo 3DS had a rocky launch, the handheld system recovered gracefully and ended up having one of the best game lineups of any Nintendo system. Many of these 3DS games, like Super Mario 3D Land and Fire Emblem Awakening, were very popular and well-known. Still, the 3DS had a lot of fantastic games that not as many people know about and threaten to be lost to time when the eShop closes down.
The 3DS eShop will shut down soon, preventing people from purchasing new games. As such, we've been reflecting on the system's vast library and all of the fantastic games that 3DS owners will no longer be able to buy digitally. From games that we think will skyrocket even further in price after the store shuts down to some enjoyable hidden gems that didn't get the attention they deserve, you might want to snag these 3DS games before you can't anymore after March 27.
Ever Oasis

Grezzo is one of Nintendo's most underrated developers. It's delivered top-notch The Legend of Zelda remakes like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Link's Awakening. So what if I told you that it used that experience to make an original IP for 3DS that's one of the best-looking and expansive games on the system? Ever Oasis, a 2017 3DS game, follows a young kid as they help a water spirit named Esna build an oasis and try to save their brother from Chaos.
The result is a mix of 3D The Legend of Zelda and city management games. Players can venture out into surprisingly large open worlds and dungeons to restock and grow the number of "bloom booths." This mix of open-world exploration, dungeon crawling, and oasis-building will keep players engaged for dozens of hours, and it also stands as one of the deepest and best-looking action-adventure games on the platform.
Ever Oasis didn't get much attention when it launched because the Nintendo Switch had been released a couple of months earlier. Still, it stands as one of the 3DS' best games, so it's a shame that more people don't know about it. It risks being forgotten forever now the 3DS eShop is closing down, so check it out before the closure; it will surpass your expectations.
