I heard some people are complaining Nintendo press conference is crap because all they showed is a "casual game" called WiiFit???

Either they are only seeing what they want to see.. or they have a very short term memory because during the press conference. Nintendo has demoed/showed/mentioned a lot of upcoming games: Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bro Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Mario and Sonic, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, Medal of Honor, Dragon Quest Swords, Dragon Quest Monsters - Joker, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, Ninja Sigma Gaiden, Guitar Hero 3, Pokemon Wii, Mario strikers, SoulCaliber Legends, Brain Training 2, FIFA08, Madden08, MySims, MarioKart and i have probably missed quite a few. Now you probably won't be interested every single game in the list (neither do I) but that's just what Nintendo wants to show you, there are games for core gamers, there are games for casual gamers, there are traditional games and the "not-so-traditional" games for everyone. And there are actually a lot other Wii/DS games on display at e3 that they didn't even mention in the press: Harvest Moon Wii, NiGHTS, Crash of the Titans , Boogie, NBA Live 08, Smarty Pants, some Final Fantasy games, PQRS...etc. A lot of these are traditional games for core gamers and some of them are even exclusive Wii/DS games. And even for the games they showed us in the press conference, clearly they have a lot more material they can show us but didn't as you can find them from their press site/other websites. Clearly Nintendo took a different approach when they prepare the press conference and decided not to just include every games into their keynote, it's not because NINTENDO ONLY HAVE A CASUAL GAME CALLED "WII FIT" to show us.

Nintendo wants to put the focus on Wii Fit during the conference because they want to show us a new game that is different to most traditional games which fits the Nintendo "games for everyone" philosophy.

How come i don't see people complaining about MS is going to forget about their core gamers because they are releasing a new controller and game "Scene it" that is aimed towards casual gamers, and also a viva pinata mini game?

I see Nintendo has games for BOTH casual and core gamers.
But some people only see what he wants to see
