Vgx was horrible and was on Internet. Marketing can not be replaced by an Internet award show that drop in viewer half way through.

Bingo. I was in the "Nintendo should not show DK" crowd, but that was with me assuming that everyone else was bringing their A game. They really weren't. I read some forum reactions elsewhere, and they weren't favorable. What would have been bad had Nintendo embarrassed themselves compared to others, and they didn't.

VGX is so irrelevent and crap I really don't get the big deal what gets shown there, honestly if I was a pub/dev I would stay clear, I don't even feel like it's free advertising unless it's something that realllllly appeals to that frat boy audience.


The thing is that Nintendo had a free shot to wow everyone. Irrelevant or not, the show was a good place to mind fuck everyone especially when everyone was there to see you anyway.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
