With no console launches, E3 1997 was mostly shared between the [[PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo 64]], with Sega at this point running a distant third in North America. The N64 led on ''StarFox 64'', [[Rare]]'s ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and the now infamous ''Conker's Quest'' (which was later completely re-worked into the mature-rated ''Conker's Bad Fur Day''), while the PlayStation displayed ''Metal Gear Solid'', ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', ''Tomb Raider 2'' and ''Resident Evil 2''.

This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo 1997 (E3 1997) was the third E3 event to take place. Breaking from what would become a tradition, E3 1997 (and 1998) took place at the in Atlanta, Georgia, rather than Los Angeles in California. Sega were set up at booth #1546.

With no console launches, E3 1997 was mostly shared between the PlayStation and Nintendo 64, with Sega at this point running a distant third in North America. The N64 led on StarFox 64, Rare's Banjo-Kazooie and the now infamous Conker's Quest (which was later completely re-worked into the mature-rated Conker's Bad Fur Day), while the PlayStation displayed Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Tomb Raider 2 and Resident Evil 2.

Sega led on Saturn ports of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake, as well as The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Panzer Dragoon Saga and ports of Manx TT Super Bike and Sega Touring Car Championship. The company was promoting its "five-star" policy (i.e. focusing on quality over quantity)[2], possibly in response to the lack of third-party Saturn support on display when compared to its rivals.
