The first day of E3 2014 has come to a close and our heads are spinning from all the Gamecube throwback controllers and unexpected Just Dance participants…or are we still just a little queasy from that Oculus Rift demo (more on that soon!)? Either way, we feel so lucky to have been a part of this huge event and want share some of our favorite photos from the day.
Let the photo dump begin!
▼ Look at that detail!
▼ Mario Maker kind of stole our hearts.
▼ Yup, that’s industry legend Shigeru Miyamoto on the left
▼ Console face-off
▼ Super Smash Bros Wii U pulling in the crowds
▼ Sony’s Project Morpheus virtual reality setup
As fun as today was, we’re exhausted! Now it’s off to bed where we’ll be dreaming of fantastical Mario levels and replays of that sweet Destiny demo. Good night and stay tuned for much more tomorrow!
