Following Nintendo's head scratching E3 conference, I'm finding it somewhat hard to believe so many people have completely written off the complete lack of virtually every announcement they were looking forward to actually being announced.
"I feel like I'm taking Crazy Pills!!!!"
They should have announced at least one title that everyone knows is in the works, even if it's not going to be released in 2008 (Kid Icarus, New Metroid, New Mario, Star Fox, F Zero, Zelda, anything). Throw the core audience a bone. They are what kept the GC alive for the most part but now Nintendo's focus has completely shifted along with their fortunes.
So now we have people looking forward to Wii Music and Animal's Crossing simply because they are both virtually guaranteed to be million sellers.
Is this REALLY what you bought a Wii for?!
"Well, we still have Mario Kart and Smash Bros. to play"
You do realize that was virtually the same thing Cammie Dunaway said in one of her (in)famous press interviews in regards to the core audience. "Just keep playing Mario Kart and Smash Bros."
It's times like these that I'm glad the Wii isn't the only console platform, because if this was any real indicator of where the console market is heading, I'd buy a pocket protector, some thick rimmed eye glass frames and become a devout PC gaming geek right on the spot.
