Nintendo's Conference at E3 2008?

[JPH]

Eh, it was alright.
I can't say I wasn't disappointed, but we do have some cool stuff to look forward to.

 

[DeMoN]

It was pretty damn lame, although Animal Crossing might have saved it.

Penny Arcade pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one.

ROFL XD

Roflcopter. I love Penny Arcade. But I thought Sony did rather well this year, relatively speaking of course.

I liked the moment that Reggie spoke about the 3 major Wii releases and walks offstage with that cool arrogance and said something like "take a look..." and I was genuinely impressed...until they showed the 3 games: Animal Crossing, Raving Rabbids TV and CoD... WTF? That's NOTHING!

Basically I thought the press conference was disappointing, especially since Nintendo always presents it like it's the coolest stuff EVER. Which it's clearly not.

What I found especially disappointing:

- I missed some Mario stuff
- Animal Crossing looked like a mix of the GC and the DS version
- Wiispeak sounds as interesting as filling out tax forms
- They failed to impress the public with the Wiimotion Plus thing, cause you can only feel what it's like
- In a way I still was expecting some new DS Lite ( there was a rumour about some sort of motion sensor)

PS: I really really HATED that woman on stage. She was so awful. It was like my auntie selling videogames on that stage. How can such a woman present the new Grand Theft Auto????? It's insane!

Oh and Wii Music looked like crap and it sounded like a bunch of retards playing music (if that's what you want to call it!)

IGN was the best as far as im concerned. Good quality and smooth framerate. God G4 was horrible.

any differnce from watching it on gamespot or ign??

IGN was 4 minutes behind on the Microsoft show. I'm not sure about Nintendo's or Sony's.

Gamespot's stream was ok quality, you could see fine but it could been better.

IGN was behind on Nintendo's and Sony's as well.
I had both sites up, IGN video muted.

So I took the advantage of Gamespot's faster update, and when presenters start talking about some boring bullcrap I switched over to IGN for high"er" quality trailers.

Penny Arcade says it all.

Penny Arcade says it all.

I thought RupeeClock already said the equivalent, and the same Penny Arcade picture.

They weren't bad.. but indeed they said A LOT that the PS3 was just in the beginning and there was more to come and etc..

And I got that exact same felling from MS, the 360 has a big identity crisis, they don't know to what public they're trying to appeal.. they kept saying the whole time that their system was something to families and the casual public and at the same time that it was for hardcore gamers!

 

[Vater Unser]

Ninty shouldn't have presented their main attraction, the Wii MotionPlus attachment, a day before the conference...Why the hell did they do that, when they didn't have that much to show in the first place?

I love the MotionPlus attachment, but I think it's POOR that they didn't announce a single compatible game other than Wii Sports Resort, which will most likely come bundled with the attachment...
They also should've announced a new Wii bundle with the Wii MotionPlus, which is the very least one would expect when they release such an extension that delivers what the Wii remote was supposed to be able to do in the first place...
I bet now many devs will opt against making use of the MotionPlus in fear that many people will not buy the game because they don't have the attachment

 

[Draxi]

Nintendo Was Betrayer and promise Hardcore Gaming (Like Kirby and Kid Icarus....)

But is all was a lie!... they don't show us Epic Games! (Only Animal Crossing with the weirdo Wii Speaker)

Microsoft and Sony Won the e3 this year...

Maybe someone Destroy Nintendo Memories....

 

[JPdensetsu]

Nintendo is going to make TWO zelda games and TWO mario games

Announced by Nintendo of France

 

[NeoWoeN]

No no no !

One Zelda and one Mario !

-New Zelda + Zelda Twilight Princess = Two Zelda
-New Mario + Mario Galaxy = Two mario !

 

[VVoltz]

Heck, I'm selling my Wii on ebay! and I don't even own one!

 

[704jaffer]

wow that comic really sums it up...

 

[morcar]

my opnion on Nintendos press conf was total shit they were banging on for almost 45 mins about sales figures and nothing of real interest on games. For now Nintendo is dead in the water in my eyes.

 

[cubin']

Some of the games looked interesting and Pikmin will be cool...but where the hell is my zelda/mario/metroid-type games? What a joke.

LAWLZOR I TEH MOVEZ TEH VIEOGAMEZ



Regarding Wii Music:
"7:29 Someone has the temerity to ask if this is really more of a musical toy than a game. HOW DARE HE!
Miyamoto says the questioner is right, and "that's why it's more interesting than a video game."

 

[gordillo]

Im angry that Capcom (instead of making a Dead Rising 2) decide on giving Wii Dead Rising

 

[mastermanna123]

The 30 ppl that think that press conference was awesome need a life.
What's that? Furfuck Crossing? If you're really satisfied with with that, you really need to see a shrink.
Fuck nintendo. Their shit deserves to be pirated!
