on the one hand, Nintendo didn't show anything "new" that was terribly exciting. Unless Star Fox absolutely 100% confirmed has an option to NOT use any motion controls or "GamePad aiming", unless I can use REGULAR controls, then I am not interested. And even if it does, it's still not the new Star Fox game I wanted, and the "Arwing turning into a walking chicken" thing is silly as fuck. It might still be a decent game, but the fact of the matter is, fans have NEVER gotten an honest to god sequel to SF64, that was on THAT LEVEL. That's all I have ever wanted, was a real SF64 follow up, not some stupid gimmick after another. Assault was an aborted, rotting fetus, and nothing else has been worthy either. Adventures does not in any way count, because it's not a SF game.

There is nothing retail for Wii U coming this year that I have any real interest in right now, except for Yoshi, which I absolutely will get, because Good-Feel has a track record of making fantastic games. I do however have major interest in many digital titles coming to Wii U eShop, which seems to be where most of my interest lies (indie games) these days anyway.



On the OTHER hand, gamers these days do prove themselves over and over again to be a spoiled, impatient, whining lot, so they aren't the "heroes" of this story either.

At the end of the day, E3 sucks nowadays, and is nothing to get excited for, like it was in "the old days". I am still getting Zelda U, someday, and I hope it will live up to even half it's potential, and be a massive game world that I can explore and enjoy, sans dumb gimmicks. I also feel confident Nintendo will give me at least 2-4 other retail titles I'll probably want before the Wii U is done. And there are PLENTY of eShop titles I want.

Fact is, gaming just isn't what it once was, all around. And yes, their E3 was a big letdown. But people shouldn't get so fuckin' hyped anymore either. It just isn't worth it. Play what you play, and like what you like.
