Nintendo E3 2007 Press Conference

[OSW]

It's not that i hate the idea of these accessories. The thing is, focusing so much on them is really annoying! They already have the wiimote, and they just wanna keep introducing new peripherals.

We want the solid games nintendo has promised.

These accessories could easily be made for any console.

Nintendo is taking a page out of the Apple playbook and it will make them a shit ton of money. But yeah I'm not really a fan of it either.

I kinda think we are being hard on Nintendo a bit, they have at least five triple A quality games out within the end of the year plus they have the DS as well. Sure these controllers and what not could've come out on the other consoles but they didn't! And Nintendo know how to use these controllers a lot better than Sony or Microsoft. Nintendo are using WiiFit to shift more consoles, and it will then they'll have a much bigger audience to bring the good games that didn't do so well on the N64 or GC.

Quite frankly this is a lot better than what we had with the GC, give the guys a chance they've not been doing so well with home consoles since the SNES days.

Looks like Nintendo doesn't want my money. Oh well, luckily there's Sony.

You know there is an Great Console called XBOX 360 ?
It kicks ass !.

Couldn't watch the Press Conference , but I don't think Nintendo needs use Gamers anymore.

I fell cheated.

You lot make me laugh, WiiFit is only one game you know! The only reason they showed that at the conference is to gain more hype from it, they probably thought that everyone would give that much thought about it if they announced it like they did with Mario Kart and lets be honest while I loved to see more of MK it doesn't need to be seen that much to do well.

The conference was pretty damn boring and for me they showed way too much WiiFit but the stuff at E3 for the Wii that I've seen is brilliant, can't wait to play all of these games.

 

[Smuff]

Well the Nintendo Marketing machine worked on my wife...she wants Wii Fit!!

No going to the gym and having to be oggled at.....so SHE says!

Haha same here

My biggest disappointment is that Reggie basically told the hardcore gaming audience "we don't care that you want online play, we think what we are doing now is just fine, thank you". In other words, a big screw you to the online gamers. Not that I care personally as I don't really care too much about online gaming, but I know many people are. At least they announced WiFi for "many" players on MK:W.

Otherwise no new games really announced we didn't already know about except for WiiFit. SMB:G has been known about since before launch, as has MP:C and SSBB. At least we know when they're coming. I just wanted to see something actually new and interesting, which I didn't really get.

If they come out with some decent use for the WiiFit pad for a snowboarding/skateboarding type game or something that would be cool, but no developer is going to use a peripheral like that I don't think, since not enough people are going to own it to make it worth the developers' time to create specifically for it. It's like the NES Pad, it just never got used. The Zapper is a bit of a joke as it's just a new plastic case for the remote and chuck and the Wheel is a total joke.

Those are my thoughts.

In their defense though, this conference is not designed like previous E3s with massive WOW!!! appeal for the masses, booth babes, etc. Being a more industry internal conference it'll be much more subdued, hence the complete lack of enthusiasm from the audience - although that was largely due to Reggie's absolutely horrible, non-engaging public speaking ability.

I wonder when people are going to understand that nobody is forced to by anything the choice is up to you, so plainly if you don't like it you don't have to buy it period.

P.S game are going to be made from this new technology, so keep your panties on.
