Nintendo E3 Conference: Done & Dusted

[anewman]

It was funny when they all danced around playing the Mario tune though, wasn't it?

[Kevvy Metal]

Just gobsmaked.

They showed nothing.

That was the worse e3 conference I've ever seen. and I've seen 'em all.

oh fuck nintendo. oh fuck indeed.

Animal crossing looked ok. and a new wiimore fixer add-on.

this is bad.

[Isaac]

This could be the worst E3 ever.

Sony are going to have to try really hard to fuck this opportunity up.

[Vemsie]

This could be the worst E3 ever.

In terms of conferences, yes. In terms of games, no.

[Yoshimax]

My "sell wii for ps3" plan just took a step closer to being realised.

[Professor Puzzles]

Any second now, Reggie will reappear saying "You didn't actually believe all that shit did you? Here's our REAL lineup..."

Any second now...

They found his body three weeks later, in a room flooded by his own tears...

[Harmunt]

Fuck me, I feel like I've been raped by a tramp with advanced cat AIDS.

Only Animal Crossing and Wii Sports Resort for me to look forward to then...

[vcassano]

If you ignore FFXIII I can't actually separate which was worse; Microsoft or Nintendo's conference

[Mr.Crowley]

But there were no games.

Where we're going, we don't need games!

[sega_kid]

NintendoLOL

[Campfire_Burning]

There's nothing on the consoles I want. I was hoping Nintendo would pull something out of the bag, but we ended up with a music package that features less musical creativity than a plastic toy trumpet from the Pound Shop.

[Zathras]

Bitterly disappointing.

[Eighthours]

I hate to harp on about this, but surely in order to use the Wii Speak thing, you'll have to turn the fucking sound down on the telly. And then you won't be able to hear any of the voices. Or are they expecting everyone to turn the music off when they use it?

[Sigourney Beaver]

Most of my gaming cash for the rest of the year will be going Nintendo's way.

[DarhkFox]

im a huge nintendo fanboy, but that was pretty awful.

It was mostly embarrasing. Wii Music looked shite.

I was just hoping some amazing footage would be shown at the end of a new Zelda or Mario etc.

[GViper]

Jeez. Where was the "One more thing?"

It was more predicable than I ever thought possible.

[Darragh]

So I just got back from work, and it turns out this conference was no better than Microsoft's (largely abysmal) one? God damn it.

[Comrade]

That was pretty shit, even with the most rose tinted glasses on. Animal Crossing just looks like the DS game with some knobs on. The control on Wii Sports Resort looked really nice, but I would have preferred them in some kind of real game. Music just looked a bit rubbish really.

They could have at least thrown core gamers a bone bigger than "our Mario and Zelda teams are working on something". I suppose it's possible that there's some new games announced in the press releases, there's usually some surprises in there.

Anyway, see you at Sony's conference everyone. Gamespot seems to be working well, and with no delay, so I recommend it.

[Sng]

Yes it's just timing. You can play a whole song just by hitting a button.

Actually, what the fuck? They said there are no on-screen prompts so what if it's a song you don't know? Do you just do nothing but wave it about?

I noticed when Shigsy came out with the sax he was just holding it by his waist yet the sax was still playing. Please don't say it's that simple! You just gotta have it turned on or something.

[mogawoods]

It's not that they've completely given up making games we're interested in, though, is it? They've just stopped using events like these to tell us about them. Sucks, but, you know - perspective, dudes.

[FargalEX]

I pissed myself laughing at Wii music. Oh god, that was awful.

[Sigourney Beaver]

So I just got back from work, and it turns out this conference was no better than Microsoft's (largely abysmal) one? God damn it.

It was presented better (no tumbleweed moments,) but the content didn't live up to expectations.

I'll still be getting Wii Sports Resort and Wii Music.

[Corleth the Fey]

So all that's coming out is Animal Crossing with the dreaded thought of friend codes. yipeee

Yeah, but you could get like 16 of your friends around and they could all shout out one number each from a Friends code into WiiSpeak. Think of the waggling you'll save using my new patented Friends Code entry system©®

[MK-1601]

AC, COD and Wii Sports Resort looked good.

Wii Music looked like total balls. Could be the first big flop of the 'new audience' games.

Motion Plus seems more and more like a spoiler in case someone else announced motion control. It has lots of potential which they didn't get across very well at all.

[Harsin]

Most of my gaming cash for the rest of the year will be going Nintendo's way.

Did you lose a lwasuit against them?

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I feel like i have missed important scenes!

are they on Youtube yet?

[Guest]

anybdoy still want to tell me the wii's a good console. that was fucking pathetic. the biggest load of shite i've ever seen.

where are the games?

[Majora]

So basically this is Nintendo's holiday line-up

Wario Land

Animal Crossing

Wii Music
