Nintendo's 2008 E3 conference was good. The only people I've seen who thought it was bad don't own any Nintendo console. Such as you, OP.

WSR, Wiimotion+, Wii Music, GTA:CTW sure beat anything Sony or MS had to offer

In addition to owning the following systems (and others I may of forgot):

Atari 2600, Odyssey II, Intellivision, Vectrex, Atari 8bit computer, Amiga, Genesis, Turbo-Grafx 16, Turbo Express, Sega Nomad, Saturn, 3DO, NGage, XBox 360, PS1 (with screen), PS3 (with backwards compatibility with the PS2), Atari Lynx, and Atari Jaguar.

I also own:

NES, SNES, N64, Wii (It plays Gamecube games so I don't need to own a GameCube), GBA, DS, and DSi.

What the heck are YOU talking about?  My post was about the general response people had.  I would equate what Nintendo did with socks.  They are very useful and needed, eventhough core gamers expecting a bunch of toy announcements were sadly disappointed.  There was no new Zelda or other things.  Go look up how the press conference is ripped by people.  I thought it was pretty good, just not targeting the core gamers who read here.  I was excited about Wii Motion+ actually.  As a BUSINESS presentation, it was a good one. 

As far as announcements, the 360 getting Final Fantasy XIII was a bigger announcement to CORE gamers here than anything Nintendo ran.  You SERIOUSLY think Wii Music was a bigger news item than Final Fantasy XIII on the 360?  Do you?
