Nintendo E3 Conference: Done & Dusted

[DarhkFox]

i was wondering if it was a pre-recorded video.

They really needed something for the hardcore gamer. It seems like Nintendo are just saying "fuck you hardcores!" when they know casual games sell better and casual gamers wont be watching the conference.

[Pochacco]

I only caught the end 5 mins since I just got in from work myself. From what little I saw and heard it was kinda.. poo...

[Made of Ghosts]

OK. Wii Sports 2 is bound to be good. Spore and GTA DS are fairly interesting. Wii Music looks fun ish. It wasn't the best conference ever but I don't think it deserves this level of complaint.

[tyler]

Hahahahahaha

Sony can't miss this open goal... can they?

[Capwn]

Criiiiiiinge, awful.

WTF is with the music thing. They have totally missed the point. They are obviously thinking 'Oh yeah old biddys,women and kids will play it cos they just shake their hands, no need to have skill!'...

..yeah fun maybe for 1 or 2 songs...

and the disc throwing in sports resort...maybe 4-5 throws before getting bored?

[M.M.S]

Fucking hell I don't know whether to laugh or cry Worst Nintendo E3 I have ever seen! No core games until after xmas from Nintendo? I guess they just realised that making this other stuff is cheaper and easier and have sold us out

Personally I'm gutted.

Conferences - 2

Megatons - 0

ff13 says hi.

[MK-1601]

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?

It's like a conference call. I don't think it's going to flummox people too much.

[dan_tm]

We don't need you.

Welcome to the nerds internets at RLLMUK.

[Uzi]

What the fuck was that

[Sigourney Beaver]

Sarcasm yeah?

Nope. The games in that conference looked infinitely more fun that what MS showed us yesterday, which was yet more brown space marines.

My tastes are changing. I've tried to fight it by buying RPGs and fighting games, but I can resist no more. I just want fun.

[Meh]

The lack of Scottcr in this thread says it all.

[Graham S]

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.

What did it do? Is it just a more sensitive accelerometer or did it do something new?

[Raff]

If you'd told me last year that that the next oen would be even worse, I wouldn't have believed you. But it was.

[Blooming Marvellous]

Ravi Drums is surely all set to be a new internet superstar I should think.

[Jack]

Guys, I'm going to buy an iPhone instead.

[geldra]

Hahahahahaha

Sony can't miss this open goal... can they?

Course they can't.

edit: what i meant to say was:

[JohnC]

Hahahahahaha

Sony can't miss this open goal... can they?

Oh yes. They can. And if they do, it will surely be epic.

[Transient Curse]

What a pitiful showing.

[Landshead]

Nothing. No Fzero, Starfox, Waverace...Pikmin.

That was shit

[mackemansj1]

Hahahahahaha

Sony can't miss this open goal... can they?

Microsoft is well infront its going to take a megaton of ff13 levels to win them e3 now. Ms had a good showing with alot of great games and a new ui.

[Uzi]

Fuck this.

Seriously- what the hell was that.

[biglime]

Thank God some companies are still making games for kids.

[barkbat]

What's so frightening is that Wii Sports 2, something I felt was a sure-fire excite-me-do, was just Waveracer 64 dolled up in Mii stuck with a bunch of Wii Play irrelevant crap. I mean, what are they thinking showing something as shoddy as that! NEXT SPRING I CAN CUT A PENCIL A BIT! TIME MACHINE PLEASE!

I really do believe nintendo are idiots. It's not even hard or costly to make games like star fox, fzero, pikmin - I mean why NOT make them? Did we do something WRONG? By giving them money? Keeping them going through the dark era of playstation.

I WAS THERE FOR YOU, EVEN WHEN TIMES WERE ROUGH. AND NOW LOOK AT YOU. RUBBING UP TO MRS. MAINSTREAM. WHORE I CALL YOU. WHORE.

[DC Lemon]

Basically, when you've got GTA, Pokemon, Wii Sports and Animal Crossing, you don't have to worry about pleasing message boards like this. Which is a damn shame, but there you go.

[Halo]

Reggie's no longer about kicking ass, taking names or making games. He prefers pie charts, annoyingly over-enthusiastic woman and Wii Music.

Directional microphone? Plus there's a lot of technology out there for isolating voices from background noise.

Animal Crossing seemed all a bit familiar, although I do like that you can directly message people's Wiis, e-mail addresses or mobiles. Can't say I was particularly interested in anything other than Wii Sports Resort — sword fighting is the new boxing — although none of it looked 'bad', exactly.

Come on Sony, it's wide open!

[Guest]

anybody want to buy a wii?

i've actually got some 'games' for it too, those things that nintendo don't make anymore. surely that adds to the value?

[NEG]

I was happy about Animal Crossing at first...then I realised its not all that new, really. Just a few knobs added onto the DS version, doesn't look any better visually, still an age old N64 game at its core, ergh.

And then the rest of the conference....argh

I want my hour and a half back
