Sorry if I angered people. I posted this right after the press conference, and I was very disappointed.
I just don't like where Nintendo is going, okay? Maybe I was spoiled by past E3s, I'm too used to being impressed by awesome games and surprise announcements... Especially in 2006. They gave me something to look forward to. This E3 failed to impress me that way.
Regardless, I still stand by some of my points. I still think Nintendo should be spending more time creating the games I want to play. This may sound selfish, but it's the truth.
My original post. Beware: it is flamebait.

Not only do we not get ANY big announcements (besides the stupid Wii microphone - the playstation eye is probably better because it has a camera) they also focused COMPLETELY on casual gaming this year and they DARED to be bribed by Ubisoft and show that daft snowboarding game that wasn't even first party.
NO Golden Sun 3, NO new Zelda, NO new Metroid, NO new Pokemanz Gold Silver Remakes, NOTHING that anyone who dares to call themselves a "gamer" would like to play. They didn't even show off any MARIO GAMES for fuck's sake. Their (former) flagship franchise. Now what is their flagship franchise? The "Wii" series has pushed Mario off the throne. They're easy and non-costly to make and they sell more units than any hardcore game.
Don't take me wrong, I'm a HUGE Nintendo fan, but over the last three years their E3s have gotten suckier and suckier. Now it's just bragging about their huge sales and showing off casual games (WTF IS WITH THE OLD LADIES?).
Did you hear the applause after Reggie left the stage? It sounded like the crowd was saying "what a disappointment"
And their bragging... geez... it makes Nintendo sound like a spoiled brat. All those games for the Wii? Half of them are DDI games/shovelware/complete SHIT.
Where were they two years ago? Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3. E3 was amazing. Now in a matter of two years they've dug themselves this hole.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEIR GAMES DESERVE TO BE PIRATED. KEEP DOWNLOADING, FELLOW GBATEMPERS
Nintendo will ruin the game industry with all this casual shit.
Even Microsoft has taken a cue - with their M$iis. As it becomes less and less cost effective to develop hardcore AAA titles, I fear that in ten years, we will be drowned in this balance board exercise casual shithole while we look back to the last true hardcore games released in 2009/2010.
THIS MARKS THE END OF GAMING AS WE KNOW IT
Discuss Nintendo's phailure this year NAO
