i think this alone makes your argument invalid

Nintendo 2009, was alright their were several good titles. However it was definatly the weakest of the three shows and most definatly border line embarrasing. So much time went into the other titles rather then Nintendo focusing that time on their bigger games.

You mention Vitality Sensor, what was shown? Nothing just the controller no games not even a single screenshot. Infact Nintendo barely even told us what the thing is capable of doing.While Microsoft unvieled Natal and Sony Move, Nintendo's Vitality sensor took up about 5-10 minutes of the show with absolutely nothing concrete to show us.

Golden Sun, during the conferance it was briefly shown like what 5-seconds. On the show floor Nintendo claimed the title was availible for play but the demo only lasted a measly 30 seconds. Which is really embarassing for a demo especially of a title as big as GoldenSun.

NSMBW, yes this part of the show was pretty good but it only counted for about ten minutes of the whole show. While Sony and Microsoft showed off several games with live demostrations.

Metroid and Galaxy2 were both shown but again it took up maybe 2-5 minutes of the show. These definatly blew the audience away but aren't enough to classify the Nintendo conferance as a contender against the other two shows.

In the end their was alot about the casual games on DS and Wii. Their was alot of filler and talk of market share etc...etc... the show itself wasn't that great except for the 15-minutes or so of actual new content and live demonstrations. Out of a nearly hour long conferance that isn't all that great. Sony and Microsoft both showed off far more new content and their shows were far superior in almost every way.

The vitality sensor, Golden Sun and all the Imagine titles and other DS shovel ware shown during the conferance can't be seen as anything but embarrasing!

@Severance, yeah i agree. not to mention the awful videos of that Reggie guy and his collegue making the wii look like... well a like a wii.

M$ are gonna bomb so hard this year if they go the same way as the Ninteno with natal. that bit where the guy shows the underside of his avatars' shoe is just plain awful, and natal has no controllers so its gonna look more ridiculous than wii did. then again sony might embarass themselves with move, but it seems unlikely since the push for move dosent seem to be as big as natal.

LOL I want more "bottom of an avatar shoe" moments.

Move... Party... Thats all I need to say.

Move and Natal are bound to result in greatness, but I think Nintendo will take the cake. Again.

Cammy, Vitality Sensor and Wii Party. How could it not go wrong?

ffs

Name 4 games for one console announced at E3 2009 that are as good as SMG2, NSMB, Metroid: Other M and Golden Sun

Also, how the hell do you argue that it is embarresing that Golden Sun had a playable demo at the same conference as its announcement. Most games have a gap of about a year between announcement and playable demo, Golden sun had a delay of about an hour. Infact, that statement has convinced me that there is no point talking about this to you further. I take it all back, 2009 Nintendo E3 conference was the most embarresing thing to ever occur. You win, now I am leaving this thread

I don't think any of the big 3 will have a bad E3 this year.

Nintendo has the new Zelda, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Metroid Other M.
Sony has KZ3, FF XIV, Versus, LBP2, and so many other good ones.
Microsoft has Gears 3, Fable 3. (Don't know all of what they have at this time)

But if any one of them spends 90% of their conference on motion controls. Then they will fail big time.

I don't know, this year is probably the first time I'm very interested to see every conference.

all will be great, but I'll go with ms...
