Over the years this sculpture of Shadow the Hedgehog has become a bit of a meme. You've probably seen it before. It was created in 2005 to promote Sonic 06. It is now located at one of SEGA's offices and can be viewed on office tours - shown in last photo. Last photo via Michal Shafrir on Twitter.

The Entertainment Software Association has officially announced that The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), once held every summer as the games industry’s biggest convention, is officially dead.

After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye. Thanks for the memories. GGWP

“We know the entire industry, players and creators alike, have a lot of passion for E3,” said Entertainment Software Association president Stanley Pierre-Louis told The Washington Post. “We share that passion. We know it’s difficult to say goodbye to such a beloved event, but it’s the right thing to do given the new opportunities our industry has to reach fans and partners.”

(Some of) the obscure 3DS tech demos from E3 2010

With the Noclip Archive's 1080p upload of Nintendo's E3 2010 press conference yesterday, I went back into the barely-documented 3DS tech demo rabbit hole for a little bit!

Most people know of the "main" 3DS tech demo from E3 2010, which showed multiple 3D dioramas of Nintendo characters that would later be repurposed for the Puzzle Swap pieces in StreetPass Mii Plaza. But there are a couple more tech demos shown by Nintendo on the show floor that have barely or never seen the light of day since, mostly because Nintendo seemed to not like people pointing too many cameras at the 3DS screens!

The following appears to be the only currently known footage of the "3D Hopper" tech demo, documented by Destructoid! It is part of the trio of 3D demos alongside 3D Paddleball and 3D Challenge, previously reported to be shown to the press behind closed-doors, but this video appears to have been taken directly on the show floor. The original YouTube upload of this footage seems to have gone private, this has been saved from a video tweet I made in 2020.

You can find some articles from news outlets that have talked about this demo, including IGN and Engadget:

While there hasn't been any found footage of 3D Paddleball that I know of, the last of the "3D" trio, 3D Challenge, has been preserved back in 2020! I teamed up with preservation group Forest of Illusion to document the demo in coordination with its release:

Many games that would end up being first-party and third-party 3DS titles were demoed at the show floor in the form of interactive demos or videos, such as the Metal Gear Solid 3 port, Kid Icarus Uprising, Ocarina of Time 3D, and perhaps the most well-known of which, the original version of Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

What would eventually become games included with the 3DS, AR Games and Face Raiders were also shown in the form of tech demos, as well as a demo showing classic NES and SNES games in 3D that would eventually become the basis for the underutilized 3D Classics line. The following appears to be the only known footage of the demo from Nintendo World Report:

I continue to find info (and in some cases the lack thereof) about the 3DS' presence in E3 2010 fascinating, so hopefully more people end up interested in digging up more info or footage from the event!

A little fun fact

Hello, today, after being hit by a wave of nostalgia, I tried to find any information on ACCF I could get my hands on, and that's when I noticed this!

This E3 footage of ACCF featured on ign shows us a bunch of designs that we as the player would own, do any of them seem familiar?

That's right, the third one on the second row seems to resemble the sample wallpaper design from ACNL!!!

I think it's a fun thing, considering that the design is not present in any form in the final game, and that it wouldn't be another 4 years until ACNL was announced...

His design and expressions look so good!  It feels like an eternity since we’ve had an official 3D proper playable Rayman.
