This week's E3 2009 coverage continues as The 404 examines the Nintendo and Sony press conferences!
Each company made plenty of exciting announcements as well as some not-so-exciting ones. Will anyone really ever use a Wii Vitality Sensor? Sony officially debuted the PSP Go, which will be released October 1 for $250. We think that may be a bit much for the redesign, but the 16GB of internal storage sure is tempting.
We were glad to see all the awesome game announcements, including titles even our own Justin Yu has heard of! Yes, Justin, they're still making Super Mario games. Having not even made his way through the first quarter of the original God of War, Justin is still pleased to hear about God of War III coming to the PS3 in March of 2010.
Finally, a big congrats is in order to Blake Stevenson, the winner of our 404 logo design contest.

We'll tweak it up and include elements from some of the other submissions as well, so let's not mutiny yet.

Like, when I get mad at the Wii for slow frame rates and freezing on virtual console games, it would know that I am mad and give me a full refund. Or when someone in Japan beats me in Mario Kart for the billionth time, it just ejects the game and shoots it at the wall for me so I don't have to get up and chuck the game disk out and do it myself!
