Here it is! I'll post the approximate times. It started today.

Microsoft: 10:30 AM June 1st
EA: 1:00 PM June 1st
Ubisoft: 5:00 PM June 1st

Nintendo: 9:00 AM June 2nd
Sony: 12:00 noon June 2nd


I believe the streams are going to be posted after the live stream (I'm in school so I can't see them) on gametrailers.

Hopefully all are good, one could be lulz (hopefully not Sony), and Ubisoft will show Assassin's Creed 2. Moar Heavy Rain too, Sony! I'll probably post all the news after I see it, anyways, if no one wants to watch it!

Well, after watching Microsoft's press conference today, it's safe to say that they should have a pretty productive year.

Announcements (just off the top of my head):

NATAL, a 3D motion sensor.
Modern Warfare 2 (2 time-released [meaning the 360 will get it first >_<] map packs were also announced)
Halo ODST
An add-on for Gears 2 (forget the name right now)
Forza 3
A skate-boarding game utilizing a new motion detecting device (similar to the Wii motion board)
Rock Band Beatles (or it might have been Guitar Hero, but who cares >_>)(also some more Xbox exclusives)
Metal Gear Solid: Rising will be on the 360 as well as the PS3
Crackdown 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Last.fm, a radio station to be launched as a new app for the 360
A new Facebook integration
Splinter Cell: Conviction

And that's about all the important stuff. Ubisoft and EA's coverage is still to come.

The Gears of War thing is called "Dark Fronts". It's a map pack to be included in the "All Fronts" bonus disc or on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

WAHHHH! THAT WAS MY JOB! D: You made me sad, now. Oh well, I didn't read it. I'll watch it for myself and still post. : P

Modern Warfare 2 and Forza 3 are what I have my eyes on. Should be awesome.

Can't wait to see Nintendo's conference. It's either going to be laughably awful or extremely good.

Microsoft actually made fun of Nintendo quite a bit for what they did last at last year's press conference.

UPDATE:

Ubisoft's conference just ended. It was pretty funny, the host that is. His corny humor made me laugh.
So, at first they started with talking about where they were in sales, their movie business, and all that boring stuff. Let's cut to the games for now

Red Steel 2- looks a hell of a lot better than the first one. New place, story, and protagonist. Wii Motion + helps with the katana control.

Academy of Champions- Think Hogwarts, but the kids learn soccor instead. I'm serious. Wii.

Splinter Cell: Conviction- Was announced earlier today, so not much new details, but it does look pretty cool.

There were some games I'm not interested in like their new Tween 2.0 for the DSi which is really...dumb. It's basically for 12 year old girls and no one here would be interested in it. Lemme see...They talked about this new game called...
Rabbids Go Home: Basically, the Raymond Raving Rabbids get their own series now. Not really interested, but it kind of reminds me of Katamari Damaci.

Basically a Wii Fit rip off for the Wii called Your Shape or something like that.

There's going to be a TMNT game. I believe it's a fighting game.

Two new announcements: No More Heroes 2 and a new project with little information called Project Eden.

THennnnnnnnnnnn THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR....ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 trailer! It takes place in Venice in the Renaissance and looks, visually, amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

Also...if you could be so kind, and let me post the Sony conference announcements. I mean, I was going to do them all, but Juggs took my spotlight. So at least let me have Sony. Yay for groveling. Anyways, that was Ubisoft. Not bad, I suppose.

Oh yeah, almost forgot two things: There will be (not new announcement, but new for me) a game for the movie I'm anticipating called Avatar. It'll be different than the movie, but same universe. Pretty neat sounding since I've been looking forward to the movie for awhile. Also, they're introducing a new thing called UPlay, which is an international interaction thing for their games, starting with Avatar, Conviction, and Assassin's Creed 2.

Oh, great. Now I'm going to have to stumble around to find and watch all of these so I'm able to discuss various things on forums. Hopefully, they're all on GameTrailers.

Anyway, sounds like I wouldn't be too interested in Xbox's conference, aside from the MGS part.

The only things I was interested in were Assassin's Creed 2 and Red Steel 2. I may have to pick up that game and breathe some new life into my Wii.

Same here. Well, that and Avatar. Can't wait for Sony tomorrow. I call dibs on the announcements. Also, hopefully Nintendo will have a semi-decent one. Probably the big thing is Spirit Tracks. D:

Nintendo Announcements (Note: This doesn't include any speeches made by their execs or anything, just the gaming announcements) :

New Super Mario Brothers: A Wii game that has up to four players (seemingly). Seems it's a bit cooperatively minded, but it also seems there can be treachery involved. New items include the Propeller Hat, which is exactly what it sounds like (That's about all from the hands-on). It also looks like there's will be a ranking system after each round. Set to launch during the Holiday Season this year.

Wii Fit Plus: Another game for the Wii Motion Pad. Looks like just another exercise game. There appears to be more customization and the tracking of one's progress. 15 new balance games, one of which looks like it utilizes a system much like a Mario game. It involves you running and jumping over logs and dodging giant boulders.

The Wii Motion Plus was talked about in greater detail. Seems like it's getting more sophisticated at keeping a 1:1 movement ratio.

Wii Sports Resort: Bundled with the above, and talked about in more detail.
It looks like the game opens with a sky diving sequence. Now someone's playing an archery simulation (he sucks, too). Next, he and Reggie are going to play basketball, looks like a three point contest. Reggie beat the other guy (named Bill, apparently). Launches July 26.

From yesterday, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Grand Slam Tennis, and Sega's Virtual Tennis 2009 will all include the Wii Motion Plus.

Red Steel 2 is a Wii Motion Plus exclusive, meaning you will need the device in order to play it.

Sqare Enix announces Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers. And there looks to be another Kingdom Hearts for the Wii (called 358/29 Days? Couldn’t really see it)

Another Mario game: Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. It looks like Luigi and Mario have been ingested into Bowser and need to find a way out. It also looks like you’ll be able to play as Bowser somewhat. Available in the US and Europe this fall.

Golden Sun is coming to the DS. I’ve never even heard of this series, but it looks pretty cool.

Women’s Murder Club: Games of Passion announced for the DS. Looks like you play as one of three women investigating a murder. Looks pretty… gay. Written by James Patterson.

Cop: The Recruit announced for the DS. Someone framed a cop’s partner. Not much from the preview, they’re kicking this stuff out really quickly.

Style Savvy. Supposedly a game to increase the female audience… once again, looks pretty gay. It’s nothing but fashion, apparently, there’s a runway feature, too. *facepalm*

Flip Notes Studio for the DSi sometime this summer. Involves user created work being shared.

Mario Vs Donkey Kong Minis March Again! Another game for the DSi, a download for the DSi exclusively. Available this Monday.

Warioware DSi game announced, involves creating more levels and whatnot.

Photos taken by the DSi can now be uploaded to Facebook.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, announced to be playable on the play floor, and that’s about it xD

Satoru Iwata makes an appearance (I’m not going to paraphrase his speech, you’ll have to look it up)

Wii Vitality sensor. Seems to be able to detect a plethora of things just be detecting one’s pulse using another peripheral seemingly attachable to the Wiimote. Seems a little… weird. Probably something we won’t see until next year.

Another full 3D Mario game is going to be launched. Looks like a sequel to Galaxy. Yoshi will make an appearance as a steed yet again. And it looks like you’ll be able to change his color to give him different abilities. Looks as lulzy as any other Mario game, and just as awesome. Name: Super Mario Galaxy 2. Release: N/A

3rd party contributions:

A new Sega IP to be released in three weeks: The Conduit. Yup, it’s the FPS true gamers on the Wii have been waiting for.

Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles announced.

EA’s Dead Space: Extraction announced. Seems to be the prequel to the popular EA game released last year. Seems also to include most of the elements of the previous game, and looks just as gory.

/end 3rd part shiz

Team Ninja and Nintendo announce a NEW ****ING METROID, called Metroid: The Other M. Seems to introduce Samus as a young woman in the beginning. And also seems to include voice acting, on the part of Samus herself, too. Not to be released until 2010. The crowd seems pleased.

Absolutely amazing compared to what they did last year. They did a truly spectacular job with their announcements and announced some really long-awaited projected, still no new Wii Zelda game, though V_V
