Day Two of E3 was the last day of the event for me, but this wont be the last day you'll be seeing video from my experience there. Interviews with developer of Bionic Commando Rearmed Simon Vicklund, Igarashi-san of Castlevania fame, Dark Void designer Jose Perez III, Anti-E3 spokesman and Gamecock CEO Mike Wilson, and some dude from Tecmo talking about all the vomit to be found in SPRay, are all still to come. With luck, they'll all be hitting the front page before E3 2008 is too much of a distant memory. 

Personally, I wont be forgetting the event anytime soon, and not just because the images from this video and the Day One vid have been permanently burned into my retinas. E3 may be a antiquated process of promoting videogames in this internet consumed world, but it's still the only way a no good bum like myself can (without the use of hallucinogens) simultaneously rub elbows with a guy in a Sonic the Werewolf suit and Shigeru Miyamoto. That's the very definition of memorable, and the kind of thing I hope to see continue for a very long time.

Cool.

So, Wii Music can teach me to play the drums? Sold.

TYP, knowing that you are a Rock Band fan, you might want to check out Rock Band 2's Drum Trainer before this.

@power-glove: How could it be more realistic. What? Will I be using real drumsticks or something? Oh, wait...

BUT, will there be a puppy costume in Rock Band 2? Yeah, I got you there, didn't I? Unless they'll be replacing the Mummy outfit with a puppy costume. Do you know something I don't?

I highly recommend purchasing Rhythm Heaven before Wii Music, Rock Band 2, or any other music based game on the planet.

It may not teach you how to play the drums, but it will teach you how to win at life.

Heh, your reaction there to Megaman at the very end actually said more for the game than any hands-on impressions I've read yet. xD

This is better than yesterday's video, this is funnier and the end is amazing. I hope there is a Day Three video.

Hey now, the first Rhythm Tengoku can teach you to play drums (sort of) so I don't see why the sequel couldn't!

Haha, "Holy sh** it's Rhythm Heaven."

I only have 5 stages/games left to get perfect on. F*cking volleyball game.

Thanks everybody. Sadly, there will be no day three video, but I am sure am flattered at the request. Me and Andy will try to get all the video interviews we did edited ASAP.

Might want to turn down the music, next time. It seemed a little overpowering, in places. Otherwise, cool stuff.

Woah Sharpless! Way to buzzkill, Brah.

In all seriousness, you're probably right, the music might be too loud. I was hoping the loudness would better convey the party atmosphere. Plus, I just love the Repo Man soundtrack. Next one will be quieter, I promise.

The jawdropping expression at MegaMan 9.. That was awesome! Also, if that was Castle Crashers spliced in there, that does look alot better than any of the previous screen captures I've seen.

Thanks for reminding me that Castle Crashers exists. I've been looking for more reasons to get a 360, and that's one of them.

E3 looks lame this year. all nintendo games for 10-year olds and girls. I miss the old days when games weren't mainstream yet.

Why does all the new videos you guys are posting, stream automatically? Quite annoying on the home page when all the videos start streaming when they shouldnt until you hit play....
