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), possibly in response to the lack of third-party Saturn support on display when compared to its rivals.
