And so the audience ruined Nintendo's conference for me

Lack of Zelda got people pissed off.

This.

Everybody was waiting for Zelda, so nothing else mattered. If they'd have announced Zelda first off, then went along with the other stuff, everybody'd have been excited, pumped about the Nintendo offerings, and good times would have been had.

For better or worse, this is true. People go in to the Nintendo conference with certain, very specific expectations. If those very specific expectations are not meant, then woe be unto Nintendo. Even if something just as good is announced (in this case, two things just as big), it's not what they wanted.

 

The media wants megatons, but above all they want their megatons.
