You know I trash talked Nintendo's E3 2008 Press Conference for over a year. And, I basically did it because I really didn't like Wii Music and I felt that a system like the Wii if it was really going to dominate the industry then it needed to show some really amazing games and give the promised support to core Nintendo fan's that I thought was lacking.
Well, I think they did that amazingly this year. Pick up any enthusiast video game magazine written since it was revealed that Metroid: Prime was going to be FP, and you'll see them always saying, "We want a new 2d next or current (post SNES quality) gen Metroid. Well, Nintendo delivered that this year and it looked amazing in the E3 presentation. So, anybody giving Nintendo a C+ this year doesn't have a clue.
Also, Golden Sun DS (another long awaited title), Crystal Beareres (despite the Wii's graphical limitations) looking to be an amazing FF game (even if it isn't a main series game), Mario Galaxy 2, and Miyamoto's behind doors unveiling of the new Zelda, and you have a conference that blows away Microsoft's which simply lacked one exclusive as compelling as any on Sony and Nintendo.
Both Sony and Nintendo thouroughly trounced Microsoft this year. And the only thing that either one was missing was Kingdom Hearts 3 coming to their platform.
